Honestly I don't think we need changes this drastic. Most of the changes that have been made are in the right direction. It's just that the iteration time on them is ridiculously long.

There are much easier and simpler changes that can be made to accomplish this stuff. Deleting HAW guns and a lot of the extra super/titan weapons is certainly a start though.

• Increase fighter MWD cooldown to 4 minutes. Now supers are still strong but subcaps have easy counterplay. This also allows support fighters to remain as-is without being overpowered.

• Significantly increase the sig radius of all capitals, reduce tracking of capital guns, significantly reduce the scan res bonus of fax.

Bam, easy changes that can be done in a couple weeks that are another large step in the right direction.

I was actually curious as to your lowsec cyno comment from the previous post where you told us your ideas.

If capitals cannot use cynos anymore. What would you do with capitals in lowsec pockets? They'd essentially be trapped since there are no jump bridges in lowsec capitals can take either.

what you think about automated moon mining ? not the old one but something more weak like an ansiblex, no weapon 2 timer after the first one you can steal the fuel/moon goo 1-12h timer for the hull poor yield (refine the goo itself at 50% ?) maybe make them "cloak" this way you can attack and place some moon in an ennemy territory and you need to warp to the moon mining beacon and smartbomb to reveal them

actually you can't attack big alliance athanor cause they offer them 72H to defend, and if you destroy one of them what the point ? you can't mine and pvp alliance don't want to mine anyway

Oh, and restrict titans and supers from using the ansiblex too - they can still use cyno beacons but not the gate.

Aren't supercaps unable to use ansiblex right now?

Did you have a 3 martini lunch? I agree with everything you said but given that it flies in the face of the changes CCP has made over the past few years I'm confused as why you're saying them. Glad you did, though.

I do have a couple of modifications to that I would suggest. Instead of removing local reps from triage remove cap boosters and let them combat refit while triage is active so you can have old style triage. It could be crazy powerful but "bring 5 bhaalgorns" is (IMO) a sufficient solution to that problem. Also, instead of 10 sentries give them 2 sentries with massive bonuses to reduce server load.

Remove capital rep modules or work them in a way that they can only land reps on ships with capital sized Sig radius. Replace FAX subcap rep ability with rep fighters. The FAX's already have giant drone bays on the model.

I know, battleship warp speed/mobility and lock times seem hilariously bad compared to.... well pretty-much anything. Why can a carrier or FAX lock like an inty? Also jump drives.

I honestly miss massed battleship fights.

and make them able to refit with weapons timer?

yes plz daddy.

Keep the 3D models for future ships though. Say what you would like about FAXes but the in game model is really nice

Move cap logi to a BS that can fit cap reps?

I see current T2 logi being effective, but not impossible to kill. I feel if a cap ship has logi, the only way to whelp it is to drop the kitchen sink. Logi, while still needing to be effective and present, needs to not be an unkillable brick. Even with carriers, I can see it happening (but not as bad as a fax, so either way it's a win eh)

For the love of god do it then please!

Please undo one of the most cancerous, fun destroying, clearly not thought through decisions in CCP history

Are you guys compensating skillpoints for future nerfs?

Or is where a plan to adapt trainingtime for capitals once changes are made?

Originally posted by theonlyXns

I agree with this. A carrier should just be a fighter boat, dread a DPS farm, FAXs honestly should maybe only be links (no cap logi, efff that), with a MOM being FB/clone support, and the Titan just being that OHGODEPEENOHKO bridge.

Specific roles with specific bonuses. Even when combined, there atill needs to be a need for subcaps, such as tackle, ewar, logi. Like I said, no cap-sized logi ships. If it dies, it dies. They already have a huge ehp and dps advantage

It was more fun when half the galaxy didn't have a super either and even just having 500m was like 'awyusImRICH'

Edit: I'm also a fan of BSes with cap guns. That'd be fun.

Faxes are really a fun-killer. If you cannot Alpha a target you're pretty much useless on the grid and can only watch as they slowly bash down your Structure.

CCP Listened*

While I won't disagree that they have been on a decent run lately, I feel it's a bit early to start making blanket statements like that.

They have had good PR runs in the past too, only to either 'leave well enough alone' and leave features uniterated on to the detriment of the game or do a complete 180.

But I will say that seeing /u/ccp_falcon and Hilmar in the wild talking frankly about the game does give me the hope that things are changing for the better.
