Tech 3 Capitals

Why?
I dunno, I’m bored, I felt as if there was a ship that could be added to current fleet doctrines out there. I also felt that there was a lack of capital vs. capital ships. Dreads once in siege can’t hit another moving capital.
Also, I was sick of tech3 frigates and battleships.
Is it overpowered? Possibly.

Ok!
I haven’t bothered with each individual races’ ship specifics, but you should be able to figure it out. Caldari shield, Amarr armour with Minmatar and Gallente sorta swinging both ways but Minmatar leading towards shield and Gallente towards armour.

The ewar subsystems are probably the most race specific. But even then the only one that would require ‘deep thought’ is that the Amarr offensive ewar subsystem will provide an adequate boost to neuts/nos instead of tracking disruptor range.

From an economic standpoint, I believe this will be a boon all the way down the economy; from the veldspar miner to the planetary interactor to the wormhole dweller to the kspace explorer.

From the science/industry standpoint, I imagine that the creation of all subsystem BPCs will require the standard sleeper loot reverse engineering. The invention process will require the use of capital parts (More industry hurray! More failed inventions hurray!). The final build will require increase amounts of all parts in the process.

Some points of interest

I made a highsec ship carrier!

Ship is capital class (not super capital class). As such it can dock and use gates.

Subsystem skills are rank 3. I feel that’s appropriate. The standard penalty, should you lose the ship you lose a skill level applies.

I tried to ensure that the capital assault and optimized targeting subsystems would not surpass the overall DPS of a sieged dread.

The optimized targeting subsystem I tried to aim for slightly more than a pirate faction battleship, but not too much more.

As a second point, I am advocating for the creation of a 3rd tier Capital sized turret/launcher akin to the dual-turret turrets of one class down, and an ‘assault’ variant launcher while will use ammunition from one class down. Personally, I’m thinking cruise missiles.

I propose finally giving covops battleships the use of covert ops cloaks, meanwhile these ships will carry on the flag of no cloak warping, but the ability to cloak up and move after landing.

I tried not to tread upon triage carriers.

If anything my electronics subsystems are a little bit weak as not all races really need the CPU efficiency gate.

arrrr lol @ me

Interesting, but one of the offensive should be fighters (or even fighter bombers, maybe 10 of them or something)

However with that said, i dont think this would be a good idea

T3 capital:

Upon construction, ship will immediately begin self destruction. Upon self destruction, all supers will also self destruct.

Death2supers

I'm glad this was just a joke thread. If it was serious, the OP should biomass, unsub, and burn h{is|er} computer.

i was personally happy about thinking up the sniper subsystem
negative rof, but high alpha, could try to warp a squad of them around to snipe at capitals
