Another thing-- an additional small change to logoff mechanics would be good: allow ships to be agressed until their ewarp has ended. I can't tell you the number of kills I've missed out on because I wasn't flying a dictor and a hostile ship either jumps through a gate or cynos to a cyno-beacon and just logs out before their 60/30s of invulnerability are up. At that point, even if you tackle their ship when it decloaks / starts to ewarp, the ship vanishes before you can kill it.

Change the mechanic so that a ship that is agressed while ewarping stays in space. Quit letting idiots get away with horrifically poor-decision making by simply pressing ctrl-q while invulnerable.

e: for example, I remember a while back we had a rapier camping a cyno-beacon on a de-fanged pos (only the beacon was left online), with a supercarrier in system. An Archon cynoed to the beacon. The Rapier decloaked and started trying to lock the carrier. Before the carrier's 30 second invulnerability timer was up, he control-q'ed. As soon as his ewarp started, the rapier was able to lock and got a point, but the carrier disappeared a minute later, well before it was possible to kill it.

The other day, we chased a Maelstrom through a gate. He logged out before our dictor could burn back to zero on the gate and drop a centered bubble. Although we interrupted his ewarp with a bubble when he control-q'ed, he disappeared before we could pop him.

This mechanic is developmentally challenged.

Don't nerf fighters - they're fine.

so will we get the option to have super cap/dread/carrier skills reimbursed? ill even give you aur for it(only cos you keep dumping that **** into my wallet)

Should also reduce the damage inflicted on sub-capital ships from guns fitted on a titan. When you make this change, with the other ones, titans will become balanced (in my biased opinion of course). You'll give meaning to support fleets for capitals.

I like all the other changes, I think they're a step in the right direction.

One minor change and it'll be nearly perfect.

Increase Fighter Bomber Prices, current ones are far too cheap.

Fighter = > 15 mill => Similar Stats to a Tier 4 cruiser
Fighter Bomber => 20 mill => Similar Stats to a Tier 3 battleship.

HAAAA ur smoking crack bro. people who fly broken lame stuff are stupid for wasting time to train it.

people who train to fly stuff that is awesome actually LOOKED INTO WHAT THEY WERE TRAINING...only to have years of training ruined because lame ass loosers very much like youself who cannot hang with some super cap pilots ruining their day


1st time i got hot dropped i laughted i died so fast...and decided THATS HAT I WANNA DO with MY life. cuz it works
its mean
its moral jarring to know that i can drop 26 million hit points on u and **** ur skull off with 20 fighters and u cant do nothing about it.
people do whats effective. and people who cant do it like me cry about it.


still i challenge CCP to not be ******** and nerf carriers like they intend. and i challenge u to try and get one. u might actually like not being a looser.

Everyone will be unsubbing there cap alts.

A few of the changes aren't what we expected and a few expected are not there, but whatever. As long as you have changed your internal process to enable frequent rebalancing when something is patently not working or the fotm is dominating.

Supercarriers

- consider the Revenant solution of +1 per level and buff the damage and h.p. to balance. Less fighter bombers on grid in mass battles is good and brings the Drone Control Unit back into play in pvp as each one becomes a +10% buff rather than their current +5% buff which again puts pressure on pilots at their fittings choices.

- consider leveling down the nyx slightly relative to the wyvern and aeon and leveling up the Hel. The difference in popularity between nyx and hel is a balance issue.

Titans

- gun stats, both tracking speed and signature resolution need looked at .. consider the titan blob and how its power scales

- leviathan's weapons

Capital force and logistics projection

- consider a five minute limitation on consecutive cyno jumps - slow down capital travel - my jump freighter and capitals can get to the other side of the map very fast indeed - make space bigger

- capital fuel consumption - consider scaling it much more viciously so that supercap fleets literally need jump freighters and rorqals following them with more fuel

- consider reducing the supercarrier and titan carrying capacity for fuel - again make force projection harder for us - eve is too small

Man thank god this nerf went through now. So many faggots I didnt know existed, just so happy they are finally being dealt with and flushed away. So many retards being helped out with this nerf. So glad

So, this might be better in FnI, but here goes anyway...

Super carriers hold fighters and fighter bombers...they are the "damage dealers" in the capital class. I've not flown one, nor have I been blown up by one. I can't say what effect the changes to SC drone bay and fighter sig resolution will have. However, people seem to be saying that nerfing fighters will affect Carriers.

Long story short:

Make the carriers Drone boats with a vengeance, make SC's fighter boats (with or without the vengeance)

For example:
Change carrier bonus from "Can deploy 1 additional Fighter or Drone per level" to "Can deploy 3 additional Drones per level."
It would seem that the SC bonus is changing from "Can deploy 3 additional Fighters, Fighter Bombers or Drones per level" to " Can deploy 3 additional Fighters or Fighter bombers per level."

I think this gives each class a niche by allowing carriers to be the "poor man's" super carrier, and give more options for DPS in a Capital fleet that does not involve Titans and SC's.

We'll see, This is just my idea!
