Ships & Modules

yes Limiting 1 ASB per ship would be a way to stop the madness. I also agree that being able to get the same result with smaller cap charges is also a bit silly. ex. X-Large gets the same boost whether you use an 800 or 400. That makes no sense considering you can carry way more 400's and also the booster holds more of the smaller chargs. If they want the ability to use different size charges then the boost amounts should be different or the smaller charges dont fully charge the boost and it drains some of your cap.

This.

But also the cap charge size thing

My Cyclone NEEDS 2 dont take that away from me!!

Please share your fit for 4100DPS with 1000 DPS outbound. Is it a Rattlesnake? If so, I should fit mine up and go solo EVE.

^ This. Any reasonable solo ship with 2 xlarge ACSB's has absolutly no buffer and ****** dps so they just diaf to ships that can keep range and do good alpha/dps (Talos's anyone) and ships with 1 acsb cant tank forever so if you have a brain to keep range and plink at him you Will kill him.



Link a fit or shut your face troll.

the only ships that can get super crazy tank and dps (With the exception of the maelstrom) are marauders or unreasonably stupid to solo in battleships. , and not like 90% of eve gankbears dont cary dishonor ecm drones, so just jam it and plink at his tank till he runs out of cap boosters then you get a free overpriced BS kill. GF Idiots.


TLDR get a brain and learn how to fight and win against something instead of crying that its overpowered.

Whats the matter .........cant your blob kill a solo BS anymore??

Its the best module to hit Eve for years !!!!

Basically, dual ASB ships make huge sacrifices, however for there trouble they gain a HUGE tank.

They are an excellent module and have totally reworked small gang warfare, and given some of the Tier 1 BCs (Ferox/Cyclone) a new lease of life.

To be honest, there a damn fine module, and have given the "Standard" buffer fit ships (Drakes/Canes etc) a run for their money.

Basically, Lrn 2 Eve.

+1 to CCP for making a module that makes theory crafters drool at all the possibilities and makes lazy people cry at the exact same time.

Imho the ASB is working as intended.

WTB T2 , Faction... Dead space ASB's

Sleipnir's would have heart attacks!!

The modules are fine if you ask me. If a ship has a 4100 dps tank running thanks to them, then all you have to do is survive for 30-45 seconds and he's completely paper-thin because he won't even have a buffer as he reloads. And like others have said, I'd like to see the fit that can do that while also doing everything else expected of it, you know, moving, tackling, shooting, doing more than being bait for a short while then dying horribly.

As for the charges, the only reason they seem weird to you people is because you're thinking about them backwards. You're thinking "this module is designed for 800s, but accepts 400s at no penalty". If we assume they actually did some amount of testing or planning (I know, it's a bit of a leap, but hear me out ) we can look at it the other way around, the x-large ASB is designed to run off of 400s/navy 400s, but it also accepts 800s just for a slight bit more added flexibility. Besides, the people I've seen asking for the cap boosters to be "fixed' have been invariably suggesting the smaller charge giving less boost and the larger giving the current boost, you know, massively nerfing the module by making it run way less per reload cycle and less overall and likely rendering it completely obsolete in the face of buffers.

Something I would like to see is a direct counter to ASBs, my initial idea is a script for neuts that replaces capacitor drain with a decrease in boosting strength of the ASBs. It could even be designed such that larger cap charges receive less of a decrease than smaller ones, so you have more reason to run an x-large with 800s, or a medium with 200s, or whatever.
