Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Stay tuned to themittani.com for all of your answers and enjoy the comments thread it spawns.

You never answered if you would self destruct all your supers and titans first if you are so ideologically devoted to them being destroyed or made useless.

LOL Like anyone at TMC can do the maths. Gewns own the CSM's, so it really isn't a surprise.

Here's an idea. Give gewns their own server so they and the RusRus can go live in Utopian Socialist Paradise.

Nah Baltec is full of Mittani branded smug lol

This change is ridiculous and unnecessary.

as for the exploit.... really? who the **** spams launch/recall fighters/bombers ever? i've literally never seen this done.... you do realize the ******* things need to fly to the target and back, right? you're seriously telling me making **** fly back and forth + launch/relaunch gigigives a massive dps boost? i find this incredibly hard to believe.

if that really is the issue though, why not just add a scoop/relaunch delay?

The issue is that in theory it's possible. But in practice, it's pointless, because you're screwing your own damage a lot of the time (Unless you can magically get all the supers on both sides to be at 0 on each other, and ignore collision, so that you don't bump away) it's impossible. This is CCP's bandaid for bad coding on their end, because they'd rather not go out of their way to fix it. It's easier to change variables rather than change an entire line of code.

yup. the reasoning is pants on head ******** and doesn't make sense. i personally feel like i'm being fed a load of bullshit here in regards to the true reasons for this drastic nerf. attempting this 'exploit' only lowers your actual damage output.....

There is little to no risk to the carrier who is performing skynet. Especialy in a cyno jammed system. At most these changes just means if you are in an ishtar or anti frig you may have a chance to get away. Skynet is too broken. Waiting till it is used too much like isboxer is a bad move for the health of NS/LS space pvp. Right now we mostly avoid tackling carriers because of how OP the fighters are. Its just a content deterent.

FYI over the last few weeks almost every null roam we have run into skynet.

It seems this change is primarily just to eliminate an exploit. It doesn't look to me like fighters or fighter bombers will be significantly negatively impacted. I think this change is alright although I would want to say that I am definitely not in the camp that thinks fighters and fighter bombers need a significant nerf. This nerf to reduce an exploit is fine, but anything further I would not support. Fighters and fighter bombers lack the utility of sentries and as pretty much everyone is saying here, sentries are really the only drone problem.

Carriers could use a rebalance so that a triage fit can consist of more than a billion capacitor modules. Sentries could use a rebalance, possibly by limiting their use on carriers and Ishtars and make them the battleship weapon they were intended to be. Given the problems with battleship fighting these days they'd go back to making drone boats viable for PvE and have limited PvP use.

But fighters and FBs are not in need of a nerf, other than to perhaps reduce this exploit, which I never considered using until I read this thread.

And Fozzie, I hope you guys all had a merry Christmas and new years and are all rested and ready to get back to the breakneck release pace. Wonderful work CCP has been doing. Looking forward to more and more module rebalances with the coming releases and please don't forget to add the new rendering to the T3s, stations, and POS structures. This game is getting out of control gorgeous. Frankly, once the new sov package comes in, if it works as intended, I would be content with just adding the physical rendering to everything in the game and rebalancing all the modules until it's time for the star gates. This game is really getting to where I want it to be.

-1 Poorly designed 'tweak'.

CCP time to properly fix carriers and supercarriers instead of gimping assets that have been paid for (in billions of Isis), ages ago.

Start by:
Nerfiing the Ishtar.
Introducing the new hull for the mega.

Then you can take a look at caps and super caps.

Btw, motherships, yes that's what they are actually called, already go hit so much, less fighters deployed (meaning less fighters to assign, doesn't matter they got a 100% bonus! pop 1 = 2 dead now!), can't deploy normal drones, can't even dock to resupply...

Fozzie I want my beer back from Fanfest a few years ago -_-
