Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Yeah, its kind of like turning the Armageddon into a Gallente ship...... Oh wait.

If you're at your sniping range, you dont need to worry of anything. Just watch your enemy burn. Or you can fit SeBo. You didnt need those mids anyway, right?

In fact I must admit that versatility is not completely gone. It reduced, and... shifted. From highs to mids.
But my other point stands just right. Sentry drones are really strong now. And making a sentry-bonused ship means making overpowed ship. Which is bad.

I like the fact that you are looking to address our concerns. That said, it would be nice if you gave us an idea as to what you have in mind. We don't need hard numbers of X more PG, Y more DPS, but a general idea..

We can give you the feedback now so you can then use that to work with.. rather than you making a proposal, then us giving you feedback, then you making a new one. I think it would speed up the process, and leave everyone with a better end result.

That said, if the worst case is I need to wait 2 days to find out the new proposed changes, so be it. The fact that they are getting reviewed is a step in the right direction..

When flying a Battleship for the last 5 years or so, I have exclusively used a blaster Dominix setup, to great success. On small occasions I rock a neut Domi, but 9/10 it's blaster fit.

It's usually rocking:

Electron Blaster Cannon II x 5
Solace RR x1 (spidertank w/mah boys)

Microwarp, web, disruptor, cap booster, and a sebo/eccm/damp depending on its utilization

4x 1600 plates, 2x eanm, 1x dc

3x trimarks

It really depends on one's definition of versatile. To me, it means being able to fill different roles depending on the fit. This is where the idea of the unpredictable nature of the Domi came from.

Versatile to me does not mean being able to fit a SeBo at will (which is a good idea for a sniper by the way) as module switching is a standard among all Eve ships, and your opponent will still know exactly what role you are filling and what your strengths and weaknesses are.

The previously mentioned idea of allowing an increase in bandwidth per level, while perhaps radical, alleviates a lot of the concern people have with Gallente ships right now: racial identity, a niche role for the Domi, versatility (drones in themselves are a versatile weapon - damage types, utility drones, range variance) - and gives the Domi the defined role of capable droneboat that CCP is trying to accomplish.

I approve domi changes
I approve Mega changes

hyp i hate it.

So... you lost 100 turret dps for an additional 20k ehp on your setup, and better drone damage application.
Why is this a bad thing again?

I'm comfortable with the Domis changes. It can still field close to 1000 dps for my wspace shield fit and the change in bonuses make it a righteous sniper that can rep its sentries. I use a navy mega for a deep tank and probably won't use t1mega ever. But I really don't think it needed to be nerfed, based purely on how often it is used. But the Hyperion...

Active tanking is a problem. It's great if solo camping or missioning, but put that ship in a fleet and it looses its versatility. Yeah, if remote cap reps are on field, it simply needs less armor remote reps from logi, but most pilots would rather have a deep tank to protect against alpha volleys. 1800 hp/10 seconds doesn't protect against that. CCP keeps saying that active tanking will find its place - eventually - how many years are going to by in the process?

I've moved from missioning to wspace. I no longer need self repping. I'm native gallente, so I'm expected to brawl - I'm also expected to have a buffer tank so the logi can keep me alive. Active repping is just fail.

Blasters are falloff weapons just like ACs, that's why all all the ranged bonused hybrid ammo is so **** for blasters. Aside from Null none of them give a falloff bonus, only optimal.
