Originally by: Felysta Sandorn If you are taking this away, can the other offensive subsystem be changed from optimal range to tracking? Lasers suffer from poor tracking at close range, and a tracking bonus would really make a difference... Optimal bonus won't change that much to be honest...
Thanks

Originally by: CCP Nozh "Legion Offensive - Convergent Beam Focuser" is being changed into a Khanid subsystem. Now getting a 5% bonus to missile launcher rate of fire and a 5% bonus heavy assault missile damage with 5 launcher hardpoints. Coupled with the changed "Legion Engineering - Power Core Multiplier" you'll be able to field 6 launchers, dealing plenty of damage.

Another idea for the sensor subsystem would be racial bonuses to scanning down certain exploration sites. Now I know the whole probing system lost the multiple probe types, but I'm guessing that the system still knows about different signature types.
So, take the racial sensor types and give the ships bonuses to tracking down the matching site type i.e. Caldari -> Gravimetric -> bonus to find hidden asteroid fields Amarr -> Radar -> Bonus to finding Archaeology sites Minmatar -> Ladar -> bonus to Finding Gas Clouds Gallente -> Magnetometric -> bonus to Finding hacking sites
Obviously, other 'unknown' sites would all benefit from the strength boost, but scanning for the wrong type of site would give no bonus

why should amarr and gallente get the best bonus in terms of scanning down radar or magneto sites? this would be a huge mistake if 2 races can scan down the lucrative explo sites better then the others ... no thanks!

Well gas clouds are essential to building t3, so your assertion that they're less valuable than the other sites may need to be examined with the new t3 market dynamics.
Similarly, Grav sites are worthless in empire and lowsec right now because of the high price of tritanium - if the market changes the value changes. (In 'tame' 0.0 grav sites are essential to alliances to find the High end ores - Mercoxit, Arkonor, Bistot and Crokite)

of course are ladars sites essential necessary to build t3 ships ... but please go to one wormhole system and start scanning ...
then you'll see, that you will find more gravi & ladar sites all over the place instead of radar or even magneto ... and to tell you the truth ... ladar and gravi sites arent really a problem to be found, b/c in most cases you can drop 4(four) non-faction core probs with 4au scanrange, hit scan and get an almost 100% result!
i can speak from my own experience that after dozend of dozends of wh's, i was able to find exactly 3 radar and 2 magneto sites (at least i found some). guess how many ladar sites i found ? guess how many f******* gravi sites i found ? the last time i did i wasnt able to find any acient relics or decryptor etc i a ladar site ..
What i want to tell you is, that you dont need high sp's in the astrometric skilltree to find those sites within a wormhole system! and thats why, iam sorry, your idea fails!
hacking and salvaging sites are the worst ones, in terms of scanning down ... so giving amarr and gal a subsystem with bonuses to find these sites better than other sites, would make the other 2 races useless in terms of scanning a wormhole for lucrative loot
hell, iam going to start harvest that ladar site after the downtime again ..

Tech 3 in my opinion should bear the value of "tech 3."
Let's take a look at these stats and think, are they really good? Bordering overpowered, you have to realize that it is TECH 3 after all. If you get a fleet together of tech 3 ships you should quiver in fear because they have maxed out bonuses that no other ship can touch.
Today I took on 3 ships at once in a cruiser hull (tech 3). Two Thoraxes and a Hurricane. I melted the first thorax (he was not plated) and then chewed through the other one, then jammed the hurricane and warped off. Thing is, I probably could have taken him but local spike, so yeah.
Anyway, what I am trying to say here is there is ability the tech 3 ships have. I think the HP is right, and I feel like the ship moves like a cruiser should. However I think the bonuses could use a bit more polishing. Let's tack on 5% more damage so you get a maximum of a 75% damage bonus. Let's add a subsystem that greatly reduces the amount of grid guns use. Let's make a cargo subsystem that gives you 1000m3 cargospace (and looks equally as huge). Let's ramp up ECM/Sensor Booster/Tracking Disruptor/Painter bonuses to silly levels where one mod acts like 2. Let's give remote reps a cap reduction and allow to fit larges. Let's give the people who want to make THEIR OWN SHIP the ability to do it, without limits, whether it be for PVP, exploration, mission running, salvaging, trading, whatever. Let's break the game.
Tech 3 should be awe-inspiring, not just another new ship. Let's do some stuff that is off-the-wall crazy and max out damage, tanks and electronic warfare capabilities so things that may seem overpowered can be really looked at as "oh my gosh, that's a tech 3 ship" and people feel like it's not something to casually engage.
Make Tech 3 awesome.

Edited by: EvilSpork on 29/03/2009 22:14:05 how about adding more and more subsystems. the best and coolest ones using higher subsystem skills. who says we cant have 2 or even more subsystems that use a certain level of subsystem skill.
more options = awesome
and to the guy on the last page that says HAMs are never used... you are daft. they are used very often. drake, nighthawk, sacrilege, absolution, hurricane, rupture etc

Quote: Don't limit it to JUST heavy assault missiles! give the bonus to heavy missiles too!!!!
I'd agree with that only if the Tengu's bonus got from kinetic to all damage types. But really it's fine as it is, Caldari get more limited damage types and better range selection, Amarr get up close rainbow damage. Different flavors of missile boats.
hmm... i see your point. i've just wanted to see a sacrilege with a decent range, and this seemed like a good candidate. you present a good argument though.

I agree longer overheat is kinda boring. Why not introduce a new feature with that module; my idea would be to make the overheat last less time and as your modules hit breaking point overload would turn off till heat reaches zero, at that point modules would start regenerating.

The command link one though awsome needs other things to bite with, cant entirely defang the cruiser it needs some self 'defense' though unbonused turrents is okay an expanded drone bay would be more 'flexible' for all the ships. =============

The 4th electronics subsystem...
I think would do well with a bonus to salvaging.
They are all seeded now, off to play!

Originally by: CCP Nozh madness...
We're completely doing obsoleting the current tech II cruisers then? Not that I'm complaining but we should just state that as a long term goal up front.
Anyway, my suggestion is to simply make subsystem 4 about heat. 5% heat reduction / level for modules affected by that sub-system. This would, of course be on top of the 5% reduction associated with the hull.
Would make for very evil ships.

There needs to be the addition of an "eject NOW DAMMIT" button that just kicks you straight out of your ship. Twice now i've laost skillpoints because of the "you suuuuure you wanna do that?" prompt and lag.

i think the new 4th subsystem for the Caldari should use rails, but not some wish wash range bonus, we can deal with the range our self, give it a 5% damage per lvl and ether add 4 turret slots or make it mixed so we can choose which ones we want on the 4th subsystem

Funny ... I was thinking the exact opposite. Comparing Harbi-like heavy pulse with the tracking to hit frigs (which it needed, having no drone bay) to what is now essentially a Drake with no drone bay? Yeah ... whee.

Originally by: Vecila Just how many ships and modules does scram immunity nullify, i.e. make totaly worthless? How many development hours were put into creating all those ships, only to have someone come along now and say sorry, you wasted your time?
Cloak, invincible to tackle, each ss tank 40m3 for easy transport means no one will go traveling without one in their cargo ( i know i wouldn't). Incidentally, how does this effect concord?
You're dumb, its IMMUNE TO FIELDS, so normal scam and disrupt can get you i believe. Just not HICS and bubbles.

Edited by: 4 LOM on 03/04/2009 03:06:47 Defensive: None warp drive effecting EWAR emunity?
Offensive: Caldari - give them a drone subsystem (call it stolen gallenty tech or guristas) Amarr - Smart bomb bonus Gallenty - allow for 1 or 2 fighters Minmitar - 100% damage modifier with -100% rate of fire, give them some serious alpha (could be tweaked more... maybe even 200% damage modifire and a - to weapon cpacaity to allow for only 1 or 2 rounds)
Electronic: Some kind of decloacking, emits an energy feild that provents hostile ships from cloacking within 15km (dont know how to make it logical that friendly ships can)
Enginnering: Some kind of heat damage repaire ability, moduals that are not currently active repair 5% damage per minute?
Propulsion: A 1 system jump drive that drops you randomly in the next system (should use a consumable, and perhaps not allow the ship to use gates at all)
Well those are my crazy ass ideas, figure i might as well get the out there.
