Upcoming Feature and Change Feedback Center

now that other sub caps can tackle supers this won't even be an issue.

As OP as the deadspace mods are, I think you might've screwed up your maths just a little there. X-types on a geddon are 48km+20km (and tons of people will have this). Effectiveness at 96km is not 25%, it's 1.84%. You have 1050 GJ neut alpha at 76km.

Oh if you think that's stupid I'd just like to remind you that you can with some fiddling fit a single heavy neut on a curse.

Oh I absolutely agree with you, the deadspace neuts should not be introduced with these insane stats, and while probably beyond gimmicky an A-type heavy (X-type is impossible) curse would get 90+30 range. On a more reasonable (ha) note, a-type mediums give 49.5+16.5 instead of the current 44km with faction.

Officer neuts are balanced by extreme rarity, no deadspace mods are rare at all. Giving deadspace mods officer stats then buffing the officer mods a little to preserve their value is not the way to go. They need much more modest stats than proposed.

There is no doubt that ogb are breaking eve.

But the buff to large neuts is a good thing. Battleships needed some love. That little frigate buzzing around with links can't permanently hold a battleship anymore. Plus longer range neuts helping to counter logistics I think is a great change.

I'm not thrilled about the nerf to smaller and medium neuts though.

Maybe there is more features coming up concerning battleships?

Due to the nature of capacitor warfare and how it scales with vessel size, big ships having larger cap, and the weapons not being affected by sig-radius etc., I find it strange that smaller modules aren't getting a nice buff in fitability.

That may be a holdover from when noses would drain cap even if the target ship had a lower percentage of cap. That is they may have nerfed their effect but kept the fitting requirements high.

Good point. Was before I started playing so I only here fairy tales of NanoNosDomis/Phoons ruling the skys. Now would seem like a good time to rebalance their archaic fitting requirements.

Thanks for the numbers. I think at the old optimal you are hurting your own capacitor almost as much as your opponents capacitor. And if you don't notice that they really pull some range this module will basically kill your own capacitor for you.

With the larger neuts against smaller ships it can often make sense to do that. But with the smaller neuts it seems like a nerf. That's why I think this is a buff to larger neuts especially the battleship sized ones. Which IMO is good. I guess it gives you more options with the small neut. I mean there may be circumstances where you would trade more of your cap for less of your opponents. This allows you to do that even if you can't get in optimal.

I wish ccp would consider helping amarr ships by giving them larger capacitors like they used to have. There was a time where balancing meant every ship must be the same. This was to make balancing easier. So they reduced the size of the punisher's capacitor and gave it a bonus to cap use of energy guns (and made all the turrets closer in cap usage). They also greatly reduced the amount of utility highs from ships. I did not like those moves because it decreased the uniqueness of ships. If ships use cap intensive guns just give them a larger capacitor and let the players do their own thing with fittings.

But after thinking about these changes, on the whole I think this mechanic will require some more pilot attention and offer a buff for larger neuts. Both are good changes.
