Instead of nerfing all super caps and eliminating capabilities why not make it so that titans and motherships use pos fuels to run? Strontium for triage or doomsday weapons and race specific fuels for powergrid and CPU. I'm on an iPhone so I'm keeping this short. Let me know what you think. |

Jump portals consume stront and ozone, carriers require stront to triage, and dreads require stront to siege. Let's not forget that all capitals have to carry racial isotopes to jump around.
So yes, capitals and supercapitals have to carry fuel.
Im not talking about one fuel type for jumping and the same fuel for a super weapon. I'm referring to Heavy Water for CPU, Liquid Ozone for Powergrid, Uranium and Coolant for the Capacitor, Mechanical parts and Oxygen and so forth. This will allow those who have them to keep using them (albeit more tactically) and those who cry for their nerfing to be appeased (because blobs will be much more taxing). |

More than that... getting a steady supply of fuel is easy for a larger entity (as you send your "peons" to mine and/or fetch the fuel). Smaller entities on the other hand would have bigger issues in setting up supply lines.
And when I refer to needing fuel I mean like a daily rate, kinda like a POS. This way you have to log in at least once a week and fuel them up. Make a penalty for letting them go empty, like an online delay.
I mean Motherships and Titans are close enough to POS's to be treated like them and different enough to warrant slightly different rules. Onlining mods should take a long time, that way you want to keep them fueled up and ready but keeping 100 of them fueled up and ready at all times becomes incredibly difficult.
Let's be honest, these things were not designed to be an end all be all to warfare, blobbing these things ruins the game for everyone. The ones crying "FOUL!" are the ones who can't field these things and the ones who rage against a "Nerf" are the ones who are guilty of "Blobbing" them. To the ones being blobbed on, this crap sucks. You work hard to get that T2 battleship or maybe you just joined the game and your little drake is your pride and joy. Now you don't get to participate in Fleet Warfare because if you dont have a Nyx or an Avatar you are useless. To the ones doing the blobbing, this crap is absurd. You convince yourselves that you are the penultimate badasses of the game and only a short way away from being the epitome of might; but you have never really fought a fight. You drop 100 Super Capital ships and, by comparison, an almost nonexistent logi force. That holds no skill, If I got 100 brand new guys and put them on a bee line to Nyx's and Titans and they only EVER logged in to update the skill queue and never had any experience I would have a 50/50 shot at beating most major alliances in the game. Thats not skill, thats luck on who times out first because the node crashed. Say what you want but the battle field needs leveling and this does it without taking power from the Super Caps. |

Keep telling me what you think. A good idea is usually born out of lengthy discussion. Thats usually how bad ideas are formed as well but yeah. |

Trolls Troll wrote:how bout leaving them alone and making dreads better?
That is the beginning of a new problem altogether. First CCP buffs dreads, then Battleship pilots will want a buff to fight the Dreads, then so on and so forth down to the Frigs. Then, after everyone gets a buff, the Super pilots start complaining that they have been left out. Now we are back at square one.
Not to mention, all the work that this creates for CCP (meaning they most likely won't do it). The months of bitching griping and complaining this creates (same crap going on now). And all those changes leave more room for error (way OP'ed Battleships or something). |
