So from the changes in the frigs its logical to presume that we are going to see 10% bonus to internal amour repair amount per lev applied to ships like the brutix and hyperion...

Is that so...

Oh god the Maelstrom with a Shield Transfer Bonus...

I would prefer instead if resist bonuses were turned into HP amount bonuses so they don't effect local reps and RR.

This is really awesome for small to medium sized gangs as it will give said ships a strategic advantage... but for fleet fights alas this bonus becomes mute.


As far as i understand the effectiveness comes from how the Armour is made (dense crystals)... now presumably this special amour achieves a higher re cohesion when induced with nano repair bots that are emitted by the Armour repair systems...

Now what does this have to do with a large fleet you ask?



Well a huge component of fleet warfare is Remote Repair logi ships...

The basic mechanism (nano repair bots) are emited by both internal amour repair mods and remote armour repair mods...

Logically it would make sence that the bonus that allows internal amour repair mods to be more effective per level would also work external INCOMING remote repair. (i.e. the beam from the logi ship)

what this would do is scale the bonus and make gal ships with that bonus the "go-to" fleet ships...

This is actually a reasonable idea TBH.
Make the gallente rep bonus apply to RR (maybe with half effect?) and it would go a long way to making them useful in fleets.

Hell, would love to have a reason to actually use my astarte...

PS: under no circumstances should this ever apply to shield boost bonused ships.

Points are moot.

People who can't talk are mute.

Get it straight!

Not a new idea, but a very good one.

Indeed as long as it only affects gal ships I think this would be awesome...

I cant think of a reason why they would not do this...i

Can we give the Damnation an Honorary Gallente classification? You know, for the Armor related gang links.

Honestly, I think gallente should get flat armor HP per lvl.Like 4% armor per lvl while amarr get 5% resist per lvl.

This.

Does anybody feel that the amarr and the gallente got their scripts backwards? Lemme illustrate what I mean.

An amarr and gallente ship are going to go into battle against each other. Both are using short range guns. The amarr will be able to start shooting their guns effectivly long before the gallente can, just by using standard ammo. Then, by the time the gallente ship gets close enough to use their blasters effectively, they're half dead.

indeed... this was alluded to in the csm notes its only logical that after the ship balance if these ships do maintain a repair bonus that it would be upped to the new 10% standard...

The CSM minutes are *NOT* a devblog, please don't treat them as such

Maybe you shouldn't infer that things in the CSM notes are going to happen.



Quote taken from this thread Sentry Tower change discussions

The problem with armour blaster boats is speed. While the current fast sheild ships dominate doctrins the close range armour boats will struggle.

indeed but remember there is also the other half of HYBRID weapons and thats railguns... to fix them i would increase max targeting range to 350 km and fix on grid probing... as for mediums they need a slight boost...
