ok, let's talk about my sugestions (i'm not making any candidature to csm, lol):

tracking
locking time
locking slots

. The real problem is the tracking formula. For example, with a 1000sig weapon you only be able to shoot a pod (1sig) like 1/1000. It's stupid to use a 100%chance when you hit.

. Titans locking time should consider to use the base sig of a ship, and not the actual sig. (like this, you prevent titans from blasting everything at the same rate time)

. not a problem at all. It's the best ship in the game? is the most dps/alpha in the game? not a problem at all. Just give them less locks, and it will be balanced. 4 maximum would be nice.

You demonstrate a clear and total lack of understanding of the fundamental mechanics that you are proposing to change. Please go learn the basics of sig and tracking before trying to 'fix' them.

Also, CCP said that they don't want to change just the Titan's way of locking/tracking because it's far too hackish and they're not going to revamp core mechanics like that right now.

the sugestion about the base sig, was to avoid the current lock time proposal. 40seconds to lock a dread with a cormack,.. seems a little strange.

if they use the base sig for locking times, it could be more fair. you lock a cap in few seconds, and you lock a pod in 1 or 2 minutes.

If they use base sig for locking times, then the only thing which would change would be that it would take longer to lock MWDing and shield tanking ships. If you meant "base Scan Res' instead of sig, which I believe is the case from the context of your post, then they should remove SeBos and RSeBos from the game and the strength penalty from Damps too, because they would all be completely and utterly worthless.

you have a point.
