So i am a little confused at this mechanic.

When you fit a infinity point on a hic, (using for low sec) the cap drains so quickly its pretty unusable.

A little crazy dont you think for fitting a specialised mod/script or a specialised purpose ship intended for that purpose.

proposal is to add more base cap and give a cap significant recharge

I was waiting for that, you missed cap rechargers too. But a valid point nonetheless. If you using something like a shield hic, you are probably going to have double sebo, and the rest some tank. Doesnt really leave room for cap boosters. So you mihgt say well its shield so fit CPRs. Well yes but then with say the broadsword you need TE, and Gyros to make any decent impact. Especially if you need to kill the ship before it get back to the gate.

The cap drain from a dedicated mod that can be only used on this dedicated ship, its crazy. all other specialised ships get bonuses etc for using it as intended.

I think the problem lies in what you're trying to do with the fitting.


You want to HICs to be gun boats as well as tackle, only they can't do that, they can do one, or the other.

I only really have issues with cap, when trying to run two infi points for too long.

Sounds like either your skills or fit, are in need of work.

My Phobos is cap stable running 5 medium electron blasters loaded will null ammo and one scripted infini-point. I have not one cap mod on my ship.

Post your fit for review as I feel that is the problem.

Same. Think it's a fitting or skill issue here.

HIC's are fine as they are.

Not supported.
