Player Features and Ideas Discussion

So I'm only going off Pyfa here, so if I'm incorrect on this please feel free to correct me. Why can't an orca fit a stasis grappler? I realize it's in this weird halfway spot between battleship and capital ship, but either of those ship classes can fit the module. Why not the orca?

I mean....A force aux can. It's a support vessel. Maybe I want to battle orca, you don't know me.

Titans/Dreads/Battleships can as well. The use of the stasis grappler is based on the size of the ship, aka big ones. The orca is big, and has slots for modules. It's bonused for Boosts/ Drone Damage/ and remote shield reps. So simply classifying it as a 'support vessel for mining' is a little short sighted.

Right click - Show info is a hard skill to master :)

why should it?

"lol, why not?" isn't a reason

Lets add that to the thread as well.

Allow orca to fit Large MJD, and Stasis grappler!

When the Orca is your dedicated booster, you need a bulky enough hauler to move the ice off grid. The heavy grappler is great to give your hauler toon an insta-warp effect once it has begun its align. It also allows fleet better damage potential against warp scramming rats which usually zip around and jam as if you're an npc Sotiyo defense fleet.

Just ignore Sonya. She doesn't play the game, she just trolls the forums.

Stop crying about mains when you haven't so much as killed something in a year. You are in breach of the forum rules, knock it off.

5. Trolling is prohibited.

Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive, and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.

This is my main. I do mainly PvE any more. I was talking to a person without a single entry on a killboard. Learn to read kiddo.

For the third time, why is this needed? Give a reason or stop posting ridiculous things. Why is it hard for you to explain why you think this change needs to happen?

"need" is a strong word. The pertinent question is whether or not it's appropriate. Personally, I'm not terribly happy with the idea of size-restricted modules. Restricted modules to fill a role is one thing, but otherwise I feel like more general use modules should be restricted by CPU/PG limits. That's a personal opinion obviously so that's obviously not a justification in itself. On the grounds of combat vs support, it's not an inappropriate change as an orca can already fit any standard ewar, smartbombs, combat drones, etc. That makes it feel more like this is an oversight rather than an intentional design. And of course, any combat ship can fit RR's and other support modules, so an arbitrary hard barrier between combat and support is otherwise nonexistent.

imo, the only reason to NOT allow it is if it would introduce some game breaking imbalance. Would it? "Why not" might actually be a sufficiently adequate reason for this to push through. The "why" being "because cool stuff might happen" is more than sufficient. After all, "cool stuff might happen" is the entire reason for pretty much everything in EVE, and the only real reason to play EVE to begin with.
