Player Features and Ideas Discussion

If you were to actually look at the stats for weapons you would see that in nearly all cases the factional mod is better then the T2 variant. Just for an example the Federation Navy Large Electron Blaster varies from the T2 in 4 stats, the factional mod requires less powergrid, uses 3/4 the amount of cap and does slightly higher damage, the T2 mod has a slightly longer optimal.

In 3 out of 4 cases the faction mod is better, and in cap usage it is way better. If factional mods were allowed to use T2 ammo why would anyone not use them, besides for the incredibly high price demand would give to faction guns.

As far as just letting the faction guns benefit from the weapons specialization but not use the T2 ammo, this is meaningless and the suggestion ignorant. The T2 guns do not benefit from the Weapon Specialization, the ammo does. A T2 hybrid firing factional ammo does less damage then a factional gun, the only time a T2 Hybrid gets a damage boost from the specialization is when firing T2 ammo, and that comes with a drawback.

I'm with you. it's the decryptors and/or other garbage it takes to make.

How about a bonus if you use faction with the same faction ammo. x2 boom u got ur super weapon and a market for it.

Hey, look, set bonuses in Eve, that's something I've never seen before. /sarcasm

Go back to WoW!

Seriously, what kind of stupid idea is this?

Bump

You're all bad, and should feel bad, stop bumping this garbage.

I don't think that it should help cost or effect it. Also, LP stores have a fair dictation on price.


My point is that a lot of faction gear is better than T2 but faction weapons are lame sick donkeys that no one uses. A slight buff that is effected by how many skill points a player has invested isn't going to break the game. Only enrich it further by giving players more options that are actually appealing.

You good sir, are an idiot. There is a 2% per level damage modifier bonus on the spec skills that applies to the appropriate t2 guns regardless of what ammo type it's loaded with. This is why t2 guns do more damage with the exact same ammo than faction guns. The faction guns do around 5% more damage than t2 without the spec skill. That corresponds to the spec skill at lvl3 and pretty much everyone trains it to lvl4 and some to lvl5.

Faction guns currently do less dps at shorter range than t2, end of story.

I wish I had some more choice on what to spend my LP's on other than faction webs and faction damage mods.

But you can use faction damage mods with T2 guns for even better performance.

A faction point or faction web performs so much better than T2 for easier fitting too.

Faction tank performs just as good or better with easier fittings.

Also. One faction damage mod effects ALL of the weapons which is a far smaller investment than a full rack of faction weapons.

So explain why a lot of faction mods are BETTER than T2 in all respects.
