See this is where you lose support. The first response of “oh well a small price to pay” is the epitome of arrogant ignorance.

If some people are completely worthless to you and you have nonissue making that publically known? you cannot get mad at ANYTHING they choose to do in return because... well they were not even worth considering before they retaliated.

You like to spout ideas publically and likely bitch at the devs to make things your way, if you f**k over people please don’t (especially publically) have a “well f**k those guys” mentality. It has killed many a game community.

Kee coming up with fixes, but do the same for keeping people from quitting the game if you are going to be publically representing the company mate

It makes me mad to see people spitting on supercapital ratting when herodreads are a thing in WH for way more money per hour and way less headaches because super ratting is actual cancer.

Seems you skipped a BIG point when it comes to Super ratting. I'd rather dread rat in a WH and make 5 times the isk per hour with a ship 1/8th the cost while being in a safer environment.

What about also pivoting FAXs into carriers optimized for capsuleer ships? As in Force AuXiliary Deployment? Or as a sort of beach-head that isn't a citadel? Nerf the Ship Maintenance bays of the carriers and supercarriers to mostly be frigates and destroyers, whereas the new FAX would just be about on par with, but cheaper than, Titans. Possibly even be a stepping stone to it for smaller groups or just being more disposable than a full Titan.

Carrier . . . I'd probably put them in a position where they could field up to 10 sentries based on drone interfacing skills, then another five based on the level of the carrier skill.

How does that number of drones compare to the number of fighters/etc that they can put out now? Because IIRC less but tankier drones were a tradeoff for more straight drones as an anti-lag measure.

Also if we're talking carrier rabalance, it seems a bit of a shame that superheavy drones (50/50) haven't been rev...

This is so true. I don't know if you can comment, but do the people at CCP who can make changes to the meta know just how bad it is? I saw so many of my friends and people in the small gang community quit in 2016, that year in particular was the nail in the coffin for many of them. We saw our gameplay just eviscerated and really lost faith in CCP. It became ISK Maker online, and that's not what I want to play. I play EVE because it's the only MMO out there that has risk to it, but that risk has been removed for those who use capitals, or pack into one region. Remember when Imperium lived in PB, Dek, Branch, Tenal, Tribe, Vale and Gem? Now they all fit into one f**king region because of how broken this game is.

I really hope blackout is foreshadowing (no pun intended) how harder EVE is about to get.

Time zone tanking is doing more damage to nullsec warfare than any of this

were CCP Rise or CCP Fozzie trained game designers when they got the job?

The problem with those in design is that they don't actually play the game. Sounds like you do.

It's actually terrifying that you think these are good ideas.

Titan - Flagship, no offensive combat other than a doomsday. I'd also delete all doomsdays other than the lance, and create one lance for each race that deals their damage type. I'd also make using the lance have a decent cooldown, and it'd consume fuel too. Other than that, Titans would be totally focused on fleet support via gang links and AOE Buffs with massive bonuses to links depending on race. I'd want to make it so that it wasn't cost effective or tactically sound to have huge numbers of them on field.

I'd also use titans as a mobile stargate too, much like they're used now, but have the fuel costs scale - the longer the portal is open and the more tonnage goes through it, the more the fuel cost increases. Drop the cycle time down for the jump portal for a fast cycle rate so that the fuel costs ramp up the longer you keep a portal open.

In terms of weapons, the lance itself I'd keep traditionally targeted, but it wouldn't do damage t...

What about Marauders having the ability to combat refit as part of their role.

give them something special :)

lol despite disagreeing with you on alot of things, I think you have a fan base of thousands at least.

Supercarrier - These would be meatier and harder hitting. Their role would be a titan and dread killers, with a focus on anti-capital warfare. They'd be useless against subcaps and vulnerable to a decent sized group of subcap hulls. Their primary function would be for defense of space - these are the ships you'd pile in on people who brought an invading cap force into your space. They'd also be useful for defending your own cap fleet from hostile capitals. They'd use fighters.

Define decent.
Some folks may think a 5 man loki fleet is decent and should be able to kill this while others may think decent means you need to bring a/some dictor(s)/hictor and 15 BCs and yet others may look at the role of the dread you are proposing and say well decent should mean 50 BS's and tackle.

The ideas are not bad otherwise.

Shit like this makes me wonder how the f**k you were ever single.

I want most of this. I do still want carriers to have fighters or at least the anti fighter fighters as a counter to super carriers. Im not sure about the cyno and JF changes (JFs still need to die I would argue and not be even safer). Everything else here would amazing.

Make heavy duty rats spawn on a moon chunk or anomally to force a fleet to form to support the mining fleet. Somewhat similar to an incursion but maybe not quite as deadly. Maybe it require a fleet of 10-15 to support the miners.

Turning Titans into a ongrid fleet booster is the reason why these changes will never come to pass...

It will either :

1. Cause a mass exodus of player that spent their time farming for a titan and amassing massive fleets of those.

2. Just die at concept phase when 80% of CSM calls it "unfair" or something along those lines, we all know what entity makes up the majority and how many of those ships that entity has... Or yet another "CCP bends the knee" happens when the representative with a wizard hat threatens CCP with bad press/mass unsubscriptions of his loyal pawns...
