hey all
just wandering if a CIWS type system was ever thought of in the game .... im interested to know
i.e. .... pesky frigate ..... un-target main guns (pre-req) ..... target peskies ..... hit the CIWS icon - high slot ..... POP ...... re-acquire previous target ... open up main guns
/regards
disclamer - yeah it could be a stoopid idea |

Well you could just fit smaller guns. You can put frig size guns on a battleship, if you REALLY hate frigates that much.
There are also FoF missiles, but... *shudder* |

If you want to suck and die, maybe.
Anyway, yes, it's been proposed many times in the past, and rejected for game balance reasons. Realism-wise it's incredibly stupid that a battleship has no point defense weapons. Given the size differences between small and large guns it would be a trivial engineering problem to arm a battleship with enough small guns to instantly kill any frigate without any noticeable sacrifice in large gun firepower (just like every real-world battleship). However, this would absolutely destroy game balance, since there would be little or no reason to bring anything other than the biggest possible ship you can fly.

Eve would require a huge-ass rebalance of the entire core mechanics of the game for that to work. Although having some beastly super gun maelstrom with guns all over it shooting crap in a blazing fury while tanking 85 cruisers 100f rigs and 2 battleships sounds damn awsome...it would break the game lol |

Defender missiles. Otherwise, you don't have CIWS for two reasons: #1: To give smaller ships a chance against big ships. #2: It'd only work against missiles. Now, maybe if they were FRICKEN LAZER BEAMS, it'd be effective against projectiles, but not lasers and hybrids.
Generally, I feel that CIWS was replaced with shields and drones. Small ships like frigs can be handled with drones, especially in fleets. |

neuts, webs, smartbombs, drones. All of these really mess with a frig. My reaction to the tier system and skill tree overhaul https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=899560#post899560 |
