Posting here, because i think CCP don`t read Russian Ideas tread.

This is cutted version, full version in Russian forum

So, we have a wide variety of kapsuleer ships , however, there are some shortcomings, mostly smaller ones, namely:
a) When managing a large ship, does not feel its size, it is a bit frustrating, especially if you're five minutes ago, moved out of a frigate in the battleship (I'm not talking about all sorts of useless titans are offline 98% of their time)
b) - I released drones stop hey, wait a minute, where they departed? What?
a) - Incredible! so many races have evolved in parallel developed identically looking capsules !!! Ugh
g) - Windows? a warship? Oh look seems in one of them is undressing woman! But ... oh no, this is a trap! Cannons! Fire at the windows! Evil
d) (representative of an alien race, yet not entered into contact with kapsuleers) - LOL, Look, judging by the patterns of their ships, they all have only one bridge! But still not clear why he needed it there, when the ship is controlled from a strange device inside ship.
e) - yahoo! I boosted to full speed! Wait a minute, how to brake? Where coursework brake engines??

Total, my suggestions for improvement of visual flaws:
1) Make race-specific capsule models.
1.1) Make capsule a part of the ship model - you can dock capsule and it work as cockpit, and undock as escape pod. No more "teleportation like" doccking, docking undocking must be animated. Capsule placed on the armoro(or partially hidden in the armor)
2) Make 3 different camera views, all of it can be switched off in the menu: a)Cockpit view b)Under cockpit view(close to the ship), and c) Free camera like now. That uses only one purpose - players must sense the size of the ships, now if you switch frigate to the battleship you will not sense the size of the ship.
2.1) I mean now rookie ship useless trash, no one uses it in real battle, only for fun, and about 1 hour of the tutorial.
I offer expand that ship category, and rebalance it for using as heavy fighters, more powerfull than any af the drones, more quick than frigates, but slower than drones. Resize this ships 3 times larger than heavy drone. And make anti-drone bubbles for interdictors, that will:
a)Less drones will be used in wars. Drones find their use in mission running
b) new fun for newbie that any noob can find their use on the corps carriers\drone ships that will bring people from the hisec to lowsec and nullsec without worsen gameplay in hisec or cutting money grinding in hisec.
c) improve fleet gameplay and teach newbies to play with others and game basics without harming they psychology(lol)
2.2) Make drones refitable. drones have 1 of each slot, rockie ships have more slots(in vary races and ships, slots variable).
Drones don`t have rig slots, but rockie ships have!
2.3) leave a one model for each race to drones, now the refitable and no need in a lots of drones models.
2.4) Every ship, that have a drone bay can fit a rockie ship, now become dockable for rockie ships to the repairs and refit, but cargo of the carrier unaccesible, carrier owner will set they own repairs cost.
3) make a landing pad of the drones carrier animated - that means any drone\rockie ship docked to the ship will be shown in landing pad, and when ship undocks, or drones released, they just flyoff from the pad(and dont appears at the space)
4)Retexture all that damn it ships!!!! texture may not be in HD but it MUST be accurate!!! Remove that windows! Who will place windows on the ship that sometimes under fire? I don`t want to lose ANY of the man in my ship crew! And reduce that christmas tree flashing lights! Google for "marker lights placing international rules"!
5) You have backward engine that speedup uour ship. Cool. But space is cruel. It have no air to stop your ship. You must have engines on the front to stop your ship. Or you wil crash on the asteroid. Space does not forgive.
But engines in the front of the ship will look ugly and weird. That i offer make it in air intake form with flames placed deep inside(but anyway you can see it if you look in this "tube" from the front).

P.S. Too much asymmetry is bad. Asymmetry in space ships makes them uncontrollble. Physics Grade 7 in Russian schools.
Engines must be placed in front of, or symmetrical against ship mass center.

I will be glad commentaries players sensible proposal and reasonable criticism.
Sincerely, Sincerity, EG pilot .

I think the automatic translator scrambled it, and translated it word for word, rather than even trying to convert to english syntax. As it is, it is pretty unintelligible. If anyone can read it, can you summarize it please?

i'll assume that your interpretation is correct

1 the current capsule tech we all used was developed by Iskukone Corporation with some help from the Jove not by each race on its own.

1.1 would be neat? but not needed
2 you are not in a cockpit
2.1-2.4 just why
3. the exit of the drone bays are already on most modals (even on ships that can no longer use them)
4. they have HD just can't get them in yet and meh nothing wrong with flashy in a game
5 learn how the warp drive affects how the ship interacts with space in the lore and why these aren't needed.

If someone from the dev be here and read it, please comment like "read, not interesting", or "Interested", or just "read"

Farther thrusters from center - hardest to rotate the ship without decrease the force from one of them. But it works for symmetrical ship. Catalyst have lever between forces and mass center, and different forces on the left and right side, yes forces compensate levers to go forward(theoretically), but while you try turn left, or right you will have problem because turning in one direction will be easier than turning in another.

But i talking about a LOTS ships with uncentered engines, look at caracal - ALL it mass on the bottom and engines placed at the top. This ship won`t fly forward.

to be fair, the empires were being dicks and were looking towards Jove space and the potential of a decisive technological edge to whatever race won a war with the Jove first to use in their war against the other empires.

So the Jove used the empires' greed for power and gave them the capsule, a weapon capable of making stronger, faster, immortal pilots. The Jove mroe than likely knew that the kind of person to survive the conversion to a capsuleer is just as corrupt and power hungry as the empires they spawned from, and would eventually look to their parent empire as an obstacle rather than a master.

so the empires got an irreplaceable weapon they cant risk disposing of for fear the other empire's dont, while that same weapon is slowly bleeding them dry and going rogue.



In short, Capsuleers are what happens when HAL 9000 has a baby with a Nuclear Warhead.

That maybe true in a vacuum but space is not a vacuum and since our ships have mass, drag forces still apply.

Space is far from empty.



I can fully agree to that.
