Player Features and Ideas Discussion

This is a stupid suggestion, but people are looking for roles for supers. as well as a new POS system.

Carrier/Dread=Med POS
Super carrier=large POS
Titan=X-Large POS

These ships would have the ability to be anchored. Any module fitted would be active for the whole POS shield, when fueled.

It would use the same POS fuel, the only difference is that you cannot mount a ship maitenence array due to the fact that the ship already has a maitenence array. (an arbitrary limitation)

Also, a person with the skills to POS gun and fly that capital would be able to jump into it, deploy fighters, rep friendly forces, or put the pos into triage to repair itself, smart bomb the outside of the shield, transfer cap, w/e.

But, when anchored it CANNOT switch modules! It must be unanchored, refitted and reanchored.

Anything the capitol can do when not anchored, it can do when anchored except for moving and cynoing.

The titan would be the coolest IMO. A POS that you can jump clone to, bridge, even defensive DD would be good. To balance it though, maybe the titan would go offline until it the DD timer is up. By offline I mean all mods on the titan would go offline, but not the shield.

The thing is, that when you anchor it, you set the PW and you can jump out. Letting you use other ships. Now, if someone else learns your PW, has the roles, and has the skills, they CAN steal it.

I feel this would be awesome for those who live out of a carrier/super/titan. They turn their ship into their base for their corp or just them.

The sieged dread would make an AWESOME pos! (SO MUCH FUEL!)

It is an interesting concept but i feel it would be better with a whole new ship. A titan sized vessel with an Ship Maintance Bay around 10mill m3, a corp hanger around 250,000 m3. Would hold a weeks worth of pos fuel, no bubble. While anchored the SMB and CHB would be accessable but the fuel bay would not. While unanchored the SMB and CHA would not be accessable but the fuel bay would. No turret or launcher hard points, jump range as carrier, fuel usage as jump freighter. Could fit clone vat bay.

That HP is in the capitals originally, this will move it to POSes. So instead of killing just another POS, a capital is destroyed! A new way to use and lose capitals would make capitals more interesting.

What if capitals had bonuses to certain things when the capital is anchored? Like a titan, huge as they are, had bonuses to capital construction speed due to the titans massive infastructure. Or a chimera that has a bonus on research. Give the Rorqual a bonus for moon mining or subcap manufacturing. A racial bonus to each capital would make it more interesting!

Anchor the capital, POS bubble deploys, deploy structures depending on the capitals current PG and CPU (maybe, no gun mounts no POS guns., just EWAR POS mods) Capital can go into seige or triage, but the stront cannot be refueled once anchored. The more you seige or triage, the less time you have for reinforce. Carriers and super carriers can deploy fighters, to the max amount the ship can deploy. Dreads and titans can engage when manned by a properly skilled POS gunner. Of course, a POS gunner for a capital POS must have the skills to use the ship.

This isn't perfect, but it is an idea.

Introducing new capitals that act as mobile POS's that are anchorable does sound like it has potential. I know CCP had said something about mobile POS's.

Hey, you never know. The Capital rebalance is still to come, as is the POS revamp...

This could happen.
