Player Features and Ideas Discussion

A reasonable number of pilots would depend on ships size. Battles ships would be less pilots however i could see 100 rifters being shuttled around as an abuse. Might want to say max of 20 pilots per super carrier.

Entirely repurpose Supers and Titans.
For example, allow one Titan to anchor per grid and players to dock.

I am more inclined to say just remove them, give the pilots the SP to use and a pile of ships to redeem anywhere they want.

They've already gone over why docking wouldn't work currently. Future? Maybe, but that's more of a gimmick than an actual feature people would want the ships for. Players want that "wow" factor out of their larger ships, not just a gimmick utility, and no that doesn't just mean they want ultimate firepower/defense tho that must be considered too.

For example with the new entosis links: a titan off grid degrades the effective defensive index by 1 allowing for faster captures. Hard capped at -4, that's -1 for each race of titan present. On grid provides -2, hardcapped at -8. And reversed, friendly titans (qualified by titans belonging to a fleet led by a sov holding alliance member) apply a positive influence over the defensive index.

Supercarriers can be altered by giving them logistics-grade "fighters" and removing the hull bonus. As well as other super fighter/bomber-oriented changes. Possibly allowing the loading of faction/T2 munitions into corresponding fighters providing a damage bonus and possible alteration in damage type. Keep in mind their damage application is still crap if they aren't tracking/damage fit, which with the removal of fighter assign will be next to never again.


As for removing capitals, you may as well say remove an entire portion of the playerbase. A large reason many players keep with this game is the hopes for capital combat. I personally hate sub-caps, it has devolved over time into cruisers online with no end in sight. The balancing (or imbalance) T2/3 hulls were by far the worst thing to happen to this game as it allowed a myriad of ships to be created to fill every role which were fast, agile, tanky, and heavy hitting to the detriment to all higher tiered hulls. Why don't we see more battleship let alone capital combat? Because bomb(er)s exist. Because there are T3 hulls that are just as or more tanky, agile, and easier to train into. Because there are T2 cruiser hulls that can fully apply their firepower and logistics yet retain their agility and tank. All the while, battleships and capitals are helpless if tackled even by a small gang because they simple cannot apply their damage to get away. Unless you want to say a player should have a frigate escort for his battleship? Makes since for capitals... not so much a battleship.

You want to bring balance and variety back to EVE? Do another damn pass on the damage application of larger ship modules.

Personally I would like to see them gone, SP refunded and value repaid but I am realist enough not to believe it will happen.

the problem with this idea as the OP is that the database that IS EVE cannot handle that one...

Also i think we can afford to wait for the sov stuff i dont think Manny would do anything other then scream bloody murder if "his supers" would stop being as op/useful as they could be... I mean theres what 3 pandemic people on the CSM? and then atleast one from NC.?

Don't need an SP refund, there is no Super Carrier Skill.

I bet dollars to donuts that very few people in this thread have ever piloted a super or a titan. Those are the people calling for them to be deleted or nerfed even more. You want to **** on my titan and super because you don't have either or don't want to work for them. Moreover, you don't understand them and the price in skills and locking a character in them. You are so blinded by your jealousy it is appalling. Oh, and I think all ships should be equal and fair. Go f u. C. K. Yourselves.
