Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Guess I'll toss my hat in the ring as well, I only really have capital experience in wormholes and small gangs.

Hello I'd like to throw my hat in this as well. As one of the behind the scenes guy of a large growing alliance with quite a few caps, supercaps and titans but nowhere near as much as 90% the amount of the other guys have here in this thread. I feel I would bring the little guys perspective on this topic, a good balance, versus the status quo from the mainstream users of such toys. I've flown with many of these guys in this thread but I've also commanded and flown with what would be considered scrub tier groups as well in a very high risk dangerzone experiences. My goal is making capitals great again..useful, fun, fair/balanced for all players

I also have insight in construction and sales of caps all the way to titans.

Please consider me to the group. TIA

Hey,


For the better part of the last 3 years i have made it my goal to fly dreads against players at every chance given. Going from the Black Legion suicide dread fleets to 7bil logoff trap naglfars in wspace. A majority of my experience is around dreads. I have flown all other capitals as well, but in the future the focal point is going to be over dreads and titans decimating enemy capital fleets with guns and super weapons. Having someone like me providing the true voice for dreads will be an invaluable asset.


The proposed changes are definitely moving in the right direction, and the most important thing is iteration and additional mechanics. This is all unknown territory, but a lack of slowcats reps and a whole lot of dread DPS means a whole lot of fun.

P.S. Don't go to halloween parties and eat jello shots 2 days after you get back from Eve Vegas. RIP ME.

Yeah yeah, so I realize that this thread is going to be overrun by PL and you probaly dont want to be perceived as favouring one allaince over another. But im going to add my name to the list ....

- I run multiple capital accounts. Both titans and supers as well as carriers and dreads. Oh yeah, and I have the corp rorqual too !
- Im the XO of Body Count, one of the oldest corporations in game and founders of the original Mercenary Coalition. Please feel free to count the number of supers owned by our corporation.
- Im an 8 year bitter vet with a seriously active killboard across all my accounts.
- I fall well above the average age of the Eve Player base.
- Im a professional software engineer specialising in real time systems so I know the basics of the limitations and abilities of the Eve server and client software.
- Im a Kiwi who just took great delight on winning a bunch of Isk from Bam Stroker (sorry Bro, love you really) on a certain Rugby Match. But I promise never to mention it again. In reality Im actually active in the US Timezone, but available on Slack during the US working day.

Thanks

I'd like to join as a wormhole rep. I have flown dreads and carriers in most every wormhole situations, and FC'd small and medium amounts of caps and medium-large cruiser gangs fighting caps and supported caps. I also know a lot of experienced wormhole pilots to get input from.

Please try and get solid WH representation from people who do more than just farm.

I am interested to participate to this Capital Focus group.

I am a beginner capital pilot. The only experience I have so far is building my very own first carrier, and using it in WH to rat sleepers anomalies.
I have flown in many fleets involving capitals as support, and participated to kill a few.

I would bring the perspective of a player that has mostly been subcap pilot so far and want to be able to use Capitals without necessarily having to be part of larger groups or fleets.

I too would like to help out with the focus group.

Who am I? I am one of the biggest capital builders in game. I can create half a capital fleet in a weeks time if needed. I have build every capital there is except 2 jump freighters, but we'll get to those eventually. I have flown every capital there is(Ive sat in a Revenant befor I sold it, that counts!). I have 9 capital pilots who all own a dread and/or carrier each and I have 2 titans and 1 supercarrier.

I used to fling about freighters like they where jump freighters with my titan befor phoebe. Ive horrible lost a carrier or 2 by beeing stupid. I double sieged on a tower and got left behind by my entire fleet once, Thanks FC, still managed to survive heh. Ive done the whole jump instead of bridging and bridging instead of jumping with my titan.

I used to love that I could get my titan from deklein to delve in 15 minuts, but I totally agree that wasnt good for the game. I like the idea of jump fatigue but it needs some more iterations so we can all be happy about it. Looking forward to the new capital changes and how they will shake up Eve.

On behalf of the massive silent minority of this game who are not forum warriors or trolls, or even class themselves as bitter, I'd like to put myself forward.

In 2004 my wife got a baby, I got EVE. I honestly think I still got the best deal (love ma boy, but EVE never talks back!), my first carrier in 2005 and with alts moved up to super. Never been an "alliance" player so never got the funding for a titan and after my experience of super, don't really want one.

But I remember (see I am that old) freighter ops moving from Jita, through low sec to deepest darkest null sec. No one liked it, but then there was no other way. I bought a rorqual as that was the only way to pick up your moon goo easily I remember Cyno's going up on a POS a titan putting its AoE through to see if corps had passwords set on shields (Yeah you could have shields up without passwords, and the Doomsday would get through it).

I was on the second titan kill in EVE - fountain core, but in those days you only had 12 people on the mail and the poor dictor pilot who got their first didn't make the mail (ME)>

I remember seeing the first MOM shutdown systems, as no one could counter it (thank you heavy dics).

I've seen people hot drop me solo fighting a drake me in a cyclone, for the drake to light a cyno and in come 2 carriers (funny thing were both archons, I never did find out if the drake was armor tanked) and watch them leave without even picking up ma loot.

I've seen the problems with lack of super game play at the moment. I understand the frustration of having a super and putting it on a sitting toon and just waiting for the sub to expire, cause what use is a super at present but a fantastic killmail to someone else.

I'm keen, I'm old and I love EVE (3 fanfest, numerous get togethers, and 1 silver AT medal (AT V best AT)).

I'd bring experience but also not a defined view. I remember (see again, old), people complaining about OP battleships were, that only a few could afford them.. and so on. Adapt or die and harden the fook up.

We got to find a reason to put your super in the field, I want to see them used in escalation, I want to see niche modes for capitals (Love the idea of logisitcs capitals - why not, we have logistics everything else). I want people to log in, have fun, not just those that can afford these "supers" but those who club together. 50 rifters tackling a super sounds awesome, but the super needs the ability to counter.... You know one of those rifters will have a cyno, and in comes 10 other supers... not really exciting game play for anyone.

All in All, for 11 years I've logged into one game, I love this game, I love nearly every aspect. One part I've not always loved is capitals.... I'd like to make sure in the future we can have fun with them, but also keep that adrenaline rush every time you *undock/login one!

Hi hello I'm supercapital FC Farasoloni!

First of all I think it's great you guys move to focus groups over just asking the CSM where maybe 3 dudes know about a specific matter in detail. If you chose a balanced group that has dudes from various aspects of the game I think you'll get very good input, much better than the CSM could. Feeling somewhat smug over it since I suggest that not long ago B)

You should pick me because I have aquired vast experience with capitals over my time of playing eve. I've been on both sides of the fence; the underpowered dudes that fought cap blobs (but pretty successful at that) and I'm currently in a cap blob. I've done everything from triaging, fishing, scout titan, ghostriding, blobbing, titanbowling, login ewarp bumping and so on in 0.0/lowsec mainly as the FC or other highly involved nerd.


I think this gonna be sick.
