Originally by: Jason Edwards So they buffed motherships... just months ago. Now you want to nerf them. Where were you during testing? Your changes make moms useless as hell. You're absurd.
Why does taking away their ability to counter sub capitals make them useless? They would are anti capital and supercapital platforms and would still curbstomp capfleets with ease.
Also I was *all over* that thread during testing and FB were my ****ing idea so troll disregarded.
Sorry, but the idea of fighters shooting goto/bombs has been around well before your proposal. Anyhow, proceed with your super capital ultra nerf.
By the way, will fighters bombers be allowed to be assigned while these super carriers hug POS shields?

Sure there was, but during the prospective changes thread my thread as linked, not previous ones.
And nope sorry, I will still be happily taking my supercarrier away from pos shields for combat little NCDOT person. I realize you guys would stand to lose a lot from this nerf, any alliance that's been heavily reliant on their SC performance and nothing else for the past year does. But that doesn't change the fact it's needed.
We know a supercarrier nerf is incoming. That's been confirmed beyond a shadow of a doubt. We just don't know what it contains yet.
The question is do you want it to be something like this or ham fisted like a 50% EHP reduction?

So that is what this is about ehh? An alliance that has been using their supercarriers taking giant dukies all over your sandbox and you think its time for a nerf.
I just was simply correcting you and you burst into tears of rage over an alliance I was in before I quit the game.
Anyways, I am all for cutting back on capital ship projection. Especially super capitals. More sub caps, less super caps. Just so you know I do like some aspects of your idea. The problem is there is so many nerf in it that super caps will be back to POS hugging and the only time they will see combat is when they are dropped on an opposing force when it is going to a slaughter.
Remove the ability to field any non-fighter/bomber drones from super caps. If they want to Leroy around without a proper support fleet to keep the superstitious from being tacked then that is their problem. Can we at least agree on that?

We can definitely agree on that but I don't think CCP will simply remove all other drones from supercarriers. Simply giving them a small drone only bay forces them to pick and choose what they want to be able to counter and even then they cant simply spit drones endlessly.
As for your tears comment, this isnt about us fighting them. NCdot has clearly relied on its supercaps and still is. That's their primary worth right now. It makes sense that someone who is in the alliance would dislike a nerf to their bread winner.
These nerfs listed wouldnt ruin supercaps. They would remove a supercaps ability to be a highly mobile **** mobile that can counter anything in the game with only 30-40 ships. The only thing that counters 40 supecarriers is more supercaps. That's broken.
The amount of hictors required to tackle that many even if you bring more supercarriers than them is astronomical because of how quickly 40 supercarriers can melt/nuet down anything able to tackle them. That's broken. I dont think even 50 of them would be enough. You may get 3-6 supercarriers before they had time to react and get out but the simple mathematics of it are incredibly in the SC's favor of surviving.
That's assuming they have zero support. Which seems to be happening more and more. If 40 supercarriers have 200 support, then yes, they should be able to curbstomp damn near anything except more support and supercaps.

I realise that you're just trolling (and as usual you're not very good at it), but for the benefit of other readers, the problem with Sisi testing is that the circumstances in which supercaps are typically used on TQ aren't easily replicable. Pre-Dominion testing mostly involved people mashing T2 fit supercaps into each other at the capital FFA beacon in FD- and jerking off in local over their damage notifications. There were few if any organised attempts to determine how they performed in particular battlefield scenarios (for example, how a small gang of supercarriers held out against a large subcap fleet).
What we're seeing on tranquility is the Law of Unintended Consequences in action. Everyone was excited at the prospect of seeing supercaps given a useful battlefield role, but what we've seen with supercarriers has been the introduction of zillion hitpoint gankmobiles with enough free utility slots and drones to counter anything that can be thrown at them - except another larger supercap fleet.

How do you feel about a change where not all super caps are able to make it to a fight, even if they are online?
Also, I hate to break it to you, I'm not in NCDOT.

You means some arbitrary negative they would get for having a certain amount of supercaps in the system? I think it would only hurt the game and be abused even more than the current mechanics.

No no. Not that at all. What I mean, and I hope this analogy works, is say capital ship jumping is similar to a ships capacitor. Let's say players have a capacitor the size of a battlecruiser. Now let's say an armor rep is a capital ship. The bigger the rep the faster the capacitor drains and you can't activate it anymore. It would take some time recharge a bit before you could use the rep again but if you cap wad full you could use it a lot in a sprint before you capped out.
So if super caps are large reps and normal caps are medium to small, even if your online with a capital, how active you have been over the last few days jumping will dictate if you can do a jump and make it to a fight. You may he on but you might have to take a non-cap to the fight instead because of your jump capacitor. Super capital and your jump capacitor is too low from you hot dropping stuff left and right the last day or two? Too bad, your going to have to sit this one out.
I'm not saying other changes don't need to happen but instead of 100% of the available super caps showing up at every fight it might be only 50% or something. Also will cut back on superstitious groping on a couple battleship for instant "I Win" stuff because it is not with burning jump capacitor for a couple if typhoons or something.
Does any of that make sense?

So you want to give an advantage to people who play Eve rarely and punish those who play frequently.
That sounds like a terrible idea.

Actually I meant they couldnt gather any message out of that but "Lets punish people for playing frequently".
Maybe your poorly worded block of words can be re worded to be more legible?

The way i Read your horrible, horrible wall of text is that If i want to use my Capital and drop it left and right (which i have done in the past) That I am inventually going to be unable to jump because EVE wants to punish me for using my toy?
Ok how about your idea put into a sensible idea, since personaly, i think your a total idiot, not that I think much more of the idea im out to put out.
Capital Jump Drives become a mod similiar to the subsystems on a T3 cruiser. In which they can be only jumped a certian ammount of lightyears before they have to be repaired in with a station, some super epic huge nanite paste, or mabey some kind of RR mod from a logi or something, who knows.
Actaully for the new RR mod you could use the Rorqual hull and repurpose it from its carebear lolness to something even more awesome by giving it the ability to repair other capital ships jump drives while in deployed mode. You could call it a Fleet Tender or something like that, and change its ore bay to a Fuel bay.
Please don't flame me, I'm just trying to make a joke out the NCDOT tard.

The tears in this thread are epic. It sounds like everyone wants them nerfed, but not nerfed in how THEY are using titans and super carriers. Anyways, thumbs up from me to put them back to pos control tower modules.
P.S. - Mrs. Sky needs to pass me some of that stuff. Your imagination hurts peoples feelings too much. Time to back off hun.

Supercarriers are only killable by more supercarriers. They don't need support fleets, even.
In fact, while we're nerfing supercarriers, let's nerf Dominion's epic failwhale of a sovereignty system.

Edited by: Kazuo Ishiguro on 21/12/2010 00:42:34 I'd quite like to see a relatively cheap dedicated subcap anti-cap ship - we don't yet have anything really matching that description. For example, giving bombers a new variety of torp (somewhat like citadel torps):- 3000hp per torp (to reduce vulnerability to smartbombs)
- 3000m explosion radius
- 100m/s explosion velocity
- Allows for 5-10k dps per bomber vs. supercaps, a quarter that vs. caps
- ~0 dps vs. anything else

Long time ago I had similar idea, it was something like this:
a ship similar to Stealth Bomber firing x-large torpedoes in same way as they fire bombs - non targeted, detonates after certain time period. But unlike current bombs, they would have to travel minimum of 50km before exploding, possibly all 100 km. And unlike current bombs, support ships would be able to lock incoming bombs and destroy them without making them detonate.
That way, capitol fleet would be vulnerable to sub caps unless the capitol fleet has dedicated support to destroy incoming bombs.

These would kill conventional capitals far too easily. They would make dreads and carriers completely useless unless you had complete system control. Cap fights would be a thing of the past.

Flame me if you wan't but I do like the idea of the more they jump around, the less likely they will be blobbing on your face like mentioned earlier. These changes do very little to keep them from dropping 50+ on a fleet of 50 normal capitals.
Add more nerfs to your proposal so they are only really useful for hugging a pos tower.

Well he is right Marlona Sky. If your in a SuperCap your stuck in the thing 24/7. It's the nature of the beast. Now if they let the damn things be Docked then I would be down with a Jump Cap on them. But as is right now they cant get out of the damn things to go play in something alse. I know Make a Alt. But thats lame too.
Is it a rock? Point a Lazer at it and profit. Is it a ship? Point a Lazer at it and profit. I dont realy see any differnces here. |

I would be greatly interested in hearing why you think these changes would make them worthless.
They would still ) Demolish capital fleets ) Out DPS anything under them in size ) Be able to outrep entire fleets worth of damage one eachother ) Have the EHP of a POS

All your proposal does is encourage them to only be fielded when it will be an ultra blob on someones face. Come on man, you should know better than with your half ass idea here.

No it ensures they will be deployed with support of a subcapital fleet. If for IT that means an ultra blob then so be it. That isn't how it is for all alliances though
