With the claim of the first Carrier killed by titans, and the need for a role for mother ships. I was thinking in giving Mother ships a module that reduces the effectiviness of the Titans Dooms day. How much is up for debate, but it would give the mother ship a role, and provide a counter to the Titan's DD. Not saying it should counter 100% of the DD but reduce its effectiviness by like say 66% or something. And since Mother ships cost less then Titans, smaller alliances would be better able to counter Titans. Give the module roughly a 20 min timer, that way it takes 2 mother ships to effectivly counter a Titan.

im thinking you mean a 2 hour refire rate . . . i think its a great idea, but some things need to be ironed out like would it be active or passive? would it stop the first DD that happened to it? does it stop the DD or does it protect in a range? i like the idea though |

Probably call it a Particle Field Absorber (PFA), absorbs the energy a titan's DD gives off.
Well, my understanding is a DD can be used once every 10min, hence the 20min cool time. But thats something the devs can figure out. My thinking is one PDA field counters one, maybye 2 DDs no more. This way one Mothership isn't countering 3-4 Titans. My idea is, the mother ships comes in with the fleet. A titan appears, the Mothership activites it module incase the titans DDs. Titan DDs, and Mothership's module reduces the DD but not eliminating it.

And that way mothership saves it's fleet... makes sence to me. |

i like it; the only remaining question is, how long does the MS get to stay in anti-DD mode if no DD is set off?

I like this one too.
I'd say if it would work, it should work like a HIC bubble. Should be active, should eat cap. Maybe it would require the mom to enter a siege mode. Basically, I see it as having a dedicated skill to use the module, with a 10km radius per level (so 100km diameter at level 5). Also, it would confer it to everyone inside the orb, including hostiles. |

Edited by: Sigras on 19/06/2009 16:25:21 thats an interesting idea
And, a great idea to both buff the MS and nerf the DD . . . it would be awesome
Edit: though now that i think of it, this might just encourage the multiple DD of doomage that we want to avoid
Im thinking it has to be grid wide to prevent it from being used to save the ships in fleet with the titan.
How about a 2 hour reactivation time and a 5% reduction in reactivation time per level?

It does not work:
Scout> They have 2 moms on grid FC> Ok, we log 4 more titans TitanGuy5> Just 4? Once again i dont get on that killmails? FC> Ugh, ok, then log yours too, no matter if there are 4 or 5 |

Considering that like 9 alliances actually have that many titans(using known list in eve-pedia) and the assets to move them are great fun, while you make a point, it is really weak. |

OPs math is more than a tad suspect, but i love his idea, perhaps the mod would simply last for a certain amount of time (10 minutes say) and then require a 2 hour cooldown, jamming DDs on the same grid as the mom. The mom would be free to move, warp, be RRed, ect. and be subject to ordinary cap and tanking operation (thought triage would remain an additional option). If the mom left grid, the effect would follow it.
