Edited by: Toaster Oven on 12/06/2006 13:59:11 Changes I would like to see made:
1. Get rid of the stupid laser cap bonus. It's nothing more than a *wasted* fitting bonus to prevent lasers from being used on other ships. Which is lame seeing as no other race is saddled by the same restrictions. I mean hell, why not restrict blasters in the same way while you're at it? Instead, increase grid requirements on all laser turrets, as well as increase grid on Amarr gunships. Then decrease cap use on all laser turrets by 50%. This to net the same effect as the current laser cap bonus of excluding use on non-Amarr ships. Nothing too drastic of course. The exact amount depending on a ship by ship basis as needed. You say this would open up room for some oddball setups on Amarr ships? YES! And why not? Amarr in general cannot do ECM at all. All they can do is tank or gank. So they should have the most options of doing so, compared to other races that can mix in ECM.
2. With the above fix, give Amarr ships a more useful bonus. For example, Omen and Geddon could get a tracking bonus. Maller could get a cap amount bonus. Apoc could get a resistance bonus. Etc, etc, etc
3. Fix cruiser sized pulses. The grid requirements are completely atrocious and dmg output completely horrendous compared to other race turrets and the available grid on Amarr cruisers. Of all available T1 and T2 Amarr cruisers, there is only *one* that can make decent use of cruiser sized pulses. That is the Zealot. There is something really really wrong if only *one* Amarr cruiser can use these guns effectively. Adjust the specs of the Zealot if you have to, but please make cruiser pulses more useful to the rest of us that don't want to fly around 180M toys just to make use of our SP.
4. Fix frigate size medium beams. There is NO Amarr frigate that can fit these in anything approaching a viable setup. Why are they so completely atrociously hard to fit?!?
5. Battleship beams fitting requirements need looking at. Why is it that I need *2* fitting mods to fit the largest beams on either a Geddon or Apoc? The fitting requirements are completely out of whack compared to other races. On that note, why do I STILL need a fitting mod to fit Mega Beams, the middle turret option for battleships? At the very least, I should be able to fit a full rack of them without a fitting mod. But no, I have to drop ALL the way down to the smallest available beams if I want to fit a full rack on my Amarr BS
6. Sensor strength. In this day and age of ECM, it makes absolutely NO sense at all that Amarr have the lowest sensor strength. Instead, they should have the *highest* sensor strength of all races. Since Amarr ships in general have little to no EW capability, they should have high sensor strength to compensate. As is right now, we have no EW to counter/protect ourselves. On top of that we have the lowest sensor strength making us the easiest targets. It's a double kick in the crotch and something has to be done about it.
