Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Okay, so what do you guys think....

I am suggesting that warp disruptors be able to fit in utility hi slots. I know CCP does not distinguish between regular hi's and utilities so a potential problem may be ships fitting a full rack of points; there would need to be a way to limit this to one, like Damage Controls in lows.

This would help to alleviate the almost requirement of having 3 mid slots to effectively pvp, particularly solo. At this time, mid slots are so much more valuable because you must bring a point, and 95% of the time you must also bring a propulsion mod and web.

Yes, you can get away with not bringing a point / prop mod / web sometimes, but only if your target pays little attention, or if you are in a highly situational fight, or you have a bunch of friends with said modules.

I do not believe this to be broken because points long and short require a fair amount of CPU, and would most likely require you to make sacrifices elsewhere in the fitting to fit multiple points.

This would immensely help those ships stuck with two mid slots and a utility hi slot, ie punisher, crusader.

Perhaps this isn't the best way, but I think would good change.

Minmatar ships would benefit the most, actually.

While a disruptor may be a bad example, he has a good point in another regard.

There aren't enough utility modules that go into high slots, and these are often left empty or just filled for the sake of aesthetics. Maybe it'd be a good idea to turn this thread into suggestions for utility high's in general.

Fly a Interdictor or a HIC? They already have that feature (High slot tackle).

You can definitely bust some balls in a broadsword.

They also have serious drawbacks to their Highslot tackle:

A dictor launches a stationary form a tackle, that tackles himself and everyone else within a 20 km radius sphere.

A hictor's disruption field tackles himself, and everyone else within a similar sized sphere, although the sphere follows the hictor around. The hictor also becomes very slow when this happens.

An infinity point scripted disruptor on a HIC is about the only "highslot point" in the game, and that's on a very, very specialized ship. I'm not sure making highslot tackle modules for all ships would be a good thing, unless they came with some serious drawbacks.

Otherwise, imagine using a destroyer now... warp in, tackle 7 different ships, lol. Or the Dragoon, with neuts and points in the highs... sound interesting, but I don't think it would be good for the game. Perhaps if these highslot points prevented the utilization of prop modules? I don't know, I'm not a big fan of this to be honest!

I think the core problem is that all the useful high slot mods for pvp use tons of PG (guns, neuts, nos, smartbombs...). Most ships simply don't have the needed PG to make use of these without making serious compromises on tank or damage output. I suppose that's fine, but it does leave a lot of ships with empty high slots.

I don't think adding high slot tackle is necessarily a good idea (or a bad one, I'm undecided) but we could use some new low PG high slot mods that are useful for combat. I'm thinking sensor upgrades and EW as those are traditionally high CPU but low PG. We already have a low slot signal amp and mid slot sensor booster, so why not add a high slot version too? The same can be done for ECCM/sensor backup arrays.

I think they should be left as mids, lest they compete with neuts and vampires for limited real estate.
