Edited by: Max Hardcase on 03/12/2006 21:01:21 Edited by: Max Hardcase on 03/12/2006 21:00:27 1) Apply a heavy nerfbat to the direct cap point drain abilities of the nosferatus Small nos : 6 cap / 3 seconds Medium nos: 20 cap / 6 seconds Heavy nos : 50 cap / 12 seconds
2) Add a cap recharge time increasing effect on the target Small nos +7.5% cap recharge time Medium nos +10% cap recharge time Heavy nos +12.5% cap recharge time
3) Said cap recharge times are inefficiently transferred to your ship. ( its an energy vampire after all ) Small nos +5% cap recharge time bonus Medium nos +7.5% cap recharge time bonus Heavy nos +10% cap recharge time bonus
Alternatively remove the direct cap point drain ability completely and add bigger % effects to step 2 and 3. This would need some readjustment of the fitting requirements of nosferatus though.

I have a better idea:
1. Increase cap amount given by cap batteries. 2. Make Cap battery immune to NOS. 3. ??? 4. Screw you uber nodsomi of wtfpwnage.

who the hell fits cap batteries in a normal pvp setup ?
but i think your ideas are bad, the way i understand it it will actually give some ships a better cap situation.
Posting and you!

Dev's usually don't like new code for stuff. Like the code for differentiating between the 2 types of cap.
Hmmm I do like the idea though, just not sure if the devs would like the extra code work. Your idea could work like this : Cap batteries each are a seperate capacitor that replenish at your normal rate. When you activate the module you transfer the amount it has to your normal capacitor. Kinda like a twist to cap boosters.

Why not just make NOS percentage based? they drain a fixed percentage of wotever is left in the opponents capacitors, that way the percentage values can be adjusted so that NOS arent overpowered but not completely ineffective either. --------------------------- HAHA! your jammers suck now!

Which ideas are that mine or the 2nd posters ?
Keep in mind that %'s to cap recharge are stacking nerfed. Not much extra benefit in fitting Cap relays or Cap rechargers + Nos for instance.

How about: Remove NOS altogether as in its current state it's ridiculus due to how it has a massive effect on the entirety of pvp and setups, and use neuts instead, which have the similar effect of being able to shut down a target, but have the massive drawback of eating your own cap as well. Which means that active tanking will be viable alongside using cap draining weapons (eg, lasers), and take combat away from being a cap war (I'm not saying that it should be dumbed down do damage vs tank, but cap shouldnt be the be all and end all tbh). You wont be fearing cookiecutter nos ships either unless running really specilised setups.
If not, NOS needs to be percentage based, the bigger it is, the more percentage it can take, therefore making a large Nos not the frigate/cruiser killer that it is, yet still maintaining it's effectiveness against targets the same size (and idea which has been pelted around the forum soo many times), while also meaning frigs get a bigger bonus for attacking larger ships (although, saying that, a frig even with a small % nos might be taking more cap than it can actually hold if it were attacking bs's or cap ships). On that, neuts would also be percentage based to bring them inline and to make them fair.
At least, they be my idea's on them.

best idea i heard so far is to limit ships to one NOS (like AB and MWD) canŠt be much work on the code to limit it.
Will still leave the large ships with a deffens against smal ships.
will make them a good module for close range but wonŠt force everyone to chose betwen going all out NOS themself or passiv.

Yeah, thought it might be tad extreme to remove nos altogether, so carried on jotting the thoughts down, hence the second part :)
Although, I still think neuts should be used over nos to maintain a balance, as nos just doenst have enough drawbacks.
And, the "limit to 1 per ship" idea isnt bad, but that would completely nerf speciality ships like the ashimmu and bhaalgorn (which would still benefit if nos/neut where % based), and it would make it a staple in all setups tbh, as you either fit one, or dont fit one, they'd be no variation, and it would still pack a massive wallop too.

I like my curse :) that said I condone the idea of making large nos less effective vs smaller ships. Something that might work is a signature radius formula, so the nos "hits" smaller targets less. So a heavy nos would perhaps have 10% effectivness on a ceptor but 100% on a battleship, basicly what that other guy said :p --

I agree with the % base, thats about as fair as you can get.
But at the same time, NOS only goes what, 20k on a normal BS ?? GET OUT OF RANGE

Best solution is to fix Cap Batteries and make the Batteries undrainable. Else we could change Nosferatu cycle time, and instead of having it as a DOT module we could make it as a ALPHA module. 400 cap every 1 minute or so, so after the cap is taken, you got like 1 minute to regen your cap, so setups with high cap recharges are good, while others are not. :P

Silly idea tbh, you do that, and you hand a huge advantage to ships that need cap to fire/tank against those that don't/passive tank.. you'd have Neut-equipped minnie/missile ships up against amarr/rail/blaster ships that simply can't fight back.

Yeah, carry on and read the 2nd part, and you'll see the other idea I mentioned. And, also check my 2nd post on this thread, I already agree with everyone that nos removal would be too harsh.

1) Add activation cost 2) Split range into optimal and falloff 3) Add signature resolution.

Equally, who the hell used to fit Damage Controls to ANY setup? If modules change, people adapt, I would have thought that this was obvious!

Best way to counter NOS is with more $$$ NOS(diminishing =P)

NOS was maybe fine before Kali, but now with the hp boost you can slap a heavy tank on a ship and you have enough TIME to drain the whole cap out of your opponent.
C'mon people we want to see Guns & Missiles and big explosions, not this NOS suckers.

Just reduce nos by 50% drain amount across the board, add in a 5% role bonus per level of HAC skill for the pilgrim/curse for drain amount so that it's back to 100% at L5. Fixed.

I'll have to go with the 'NOS is more or less fine' camp.
The one change I think they could make is to make its effectiveness sig radius dependant to a degree, it's an old idea I know but I think it's a good one.
Making NOS dependant on the percentage cap remaining would be way to easy to counter: Just let your cap fall until the (for example NOS domi) is only sucking a fairly small amount then just use a cap injector to keep your cap at a level that allows your ship to function but prevents much cap being stolen from you.

Nobody fits cap batteries [b[ever[/b], because they suck in every way.
Making them worth the fitting nightmare by upping the cap they give, as well as making them immune to nos, would be good.
Yes, a cap battery might give a ship a better cap situation, but it's not like a cap battery is an easy fit like a cap recharger or CPR is. The trade off is you're using up alot of fitting to have that better gain, and nos defense.

Imagine if a small nos Drained, say 2% of someone's cap.
Now imagine them running that against a Battleship or capital ship.
% based nos would be horrible. You'd either be horribly overkilling their cap, or you'd be doing nothing at all.
