Player Features and Ideas Discussion

and to point out a specific example of these serious cap issues...Torp/Sentry Geddon vs Blaster Hyperion, both with a single cap booster and a single large repper, the Hyperion won because it could completely ignore the 3 heavy nuets of the Geddon. Very nice Brawler you've designed there.

Now, try it with an Abaddon. Needs dual boosters, one of them perma running, and therefor quickly runs out of booster charges, stuck dying flailing around miserably shouting out "have you seen my baseball?" Give the poor kid a helmet here!

And as the boosts on these 2 ships are supposedly putting them in the same role, yes, I feel this is a valid concern.

What about all the ships with no laser bonuses then, can hardly be considered a racial trait if it only applies to 60-70% of all ships?

Also, if you think that the Gall/Cald/Mim traits you suggest are pew specific then you have a lot to learn about care-bearing

Hypotheticals now, eh? Who's to know what a newcomer can get out of them when he first has to be able to fit them, feed them cap and help them track .. Amarr is, since you are apparently unawares, rather skill intensive even when just looking at lasers .. I personally got nowhere (almost) until practically all gunnery, engineering and mechanic skills were maxed out.

But yes, a person can leave the academy, strap on a tachyon and get better results out of the first handful of shots than comparable systems .. question is what happens after that handful, laser dps with 0 cap is not exactly stellar

Because you are a bitter vet like me and established your Amarr characters more than three years ago, before the Winmatar buffs and saw no need to have more than one Loki alt?

Nope.. because I had trained the minmatar char way before the minmatar boost and in fact trained the ammar ones durng the so called minmatar supremacy.

Show me a proposed geddon fit that comes anywhere near the neuting power of a bhaalgorn. That's right, you can't because it hasn't the grid AND it doesn't have the amount bonus.




I think you missed the raven and the cruise changes.




Good god man, you need to go back to the first page and actually look at ****.

The hype looks badass on paper now. The raven got another mid.

neut domi that rarely uses drones lol

I believe the role of the new geddon is anti-support, though it can be a competent brawler that has a modicum of flexibility due to the nature of droneboats. Also, flexible damage type for pve.

It may not be a top contender at everything, but at least after the changes it isn't yet another laser boat.

I looked at them, and there's a serious lack of player response in them compared to this thread. Not saying they are any less valid, but my point is the amount of attention related to player response. Can your attitude, this is a discussion.


For the response of different dishes instead of flavors, I see what you mean, I just don't agree with it as far as Amarr goes. Yes, in other places it was a good thing, but I still disagree on this one area (BSs). I'd prefer to see a new hull get rolled out to address this than repurpose the ships we currently have.

I'm on board with the idea that the ships that are receiving a resist nerf should have a bonus elsewhere to make up for the loss of survivability. More applied damage via adjusted hull damage bonuses, lock times, or even tracking might work. I honestly don't know, but something has to balance it.

The comparison with other races guns vs power stuff, I agree we do get some benefits from running a laser boat, but at this stage of the game the balance is skewed because of the ridiculous power issues. I don't want us to be OP, but there is an issue here thanks to all of the factors that need to be considered when running lasers.

It'll be a cross-trained player's dream, to be sure. It's going to be hell on wheels for tank ability/ewar potential.

I really won't be surprised if it gets nerfed. Currently it's looking a little overpowered.

Welcome to my block list for proving how ignorant you are.
