Why is there any reason to limit it?

The subsystems just provide an avenue to the end without the addition of another ship class. It allows for multifunctional use of an already good platform providing even greater use.

This is supposed to be a sandbox.


The dynamic configuration of a ship to make it an Easy Button has absolutely nothing to do with the "sandbox" concept. lrn2eve


Actuallly it has everything to do with it being a sandbox. Dynamic configuration provides more functionality from a single platform without the need for introducing a new ship class for what this ship is already used for to a large extent. It simply allows for replacement of an ore bay for something more universally useful.

That is the epitome of a sandbox.

The Oca is the most versatile vessel in New Eden, WTF do you want to change it for?



It has so many functions; It already has a special bay, fitting service, supertanked hauler, ganglinks, WH closer extrordinare. I even heard people use it for mining sometimes.




Oh yea, what was I thinking! I mean, lets leave it all just like it is cause its perfect!

Expand your mind.


No, lets just leave it like it is because its not (too) overpowered.

Quit taking boosters for non combat.

Only the hard drugs for me!

I'm not sure how we got to this making the Orca overpowered.

Additionally, I am not sure why we would not want mor versality in a single ships role to provide for more options (expansion) of its use.

Leave the booster capability only for mining if need be and just allow it to be a support ship for combat (troop train and ammo can, and maintenace).

It already does all of those things. You don't need to add subsystems for it to do those things. Voila, versatility.

"**CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"**

Never forget.

You don't want expansion of its uses, you want a buff to the uses it already has. It already hauls a shitload of stuff, with additional space for ore. There was recently a large thread about tanking it. In that thread you can see the amount of tank you can get and still have 90k capacity, or the massive capacity you can have with little tank. Giving it even more storage and the same tank would be overpowered as hell.
