Capital Ships destroyed small gang warfare. How do we fix it?
Well first off lets not nerf something that isn't broken. Capital DPS is fine, Capital EHP is fine, the ships themselves don't need any changes, its the mode of transit.
1) Liquid Ozone Cyno cost becomes static, no longer reduced by cyno skill. 2) Jump fuel costs become static, reduced by Jump Drive Calibration 3) Cyno skill now dictates the strength of the cyno, and by relation he distance the cyno can be jumped to.
This would get rid of the 900k skillpoint "throw-away" cyno alts, that make capital roams more mobile than interceptor gangs. You would need an actual competent pilot in the system, which is an actual pilot at risk rather than the 2m isk "throw-away" alt.
This would sufficiently increase the risk of hotdrops, and ideally would end the "I can't play EVE because someone flies a capital ship" nonsense.

Possibly.

Doubt it. 2m is plenty to have Cyno 5.

Yay - tom with another troll disguised as a stupid idea.
As if 1.5 mill alts are going to be so hard to make.

Just make us so you need a bc sized ship or bigger to act as the bridge for captial sized ships.
For Titan bridges, you can use a frigate as the Titan can take the strain.
Covert ops no change (needs buff).
Using the wrong sized ship results in ripping open a wormhole, possibly stranding the ships bridging. Don't let em know though. They just dint appear at the destination and at the end of the cyno, that ship also gets pulled in.
Great risks, great rewards lol
Some of this is as usual, food for thought.
Fizzt!

the idea i've had for increasing small gang/solo warfare was to implement something that made such activities worth while - i.e. reward. seems simple enough, but it must not be since CCP hasn't done it......... ..
IMO the best reward would be SP. give a certain amount of SP per ship type and divide it up among those on the KM. it would be incentive/allure for newbs to get into pvp, and for said pvp to be done in small gangs.
the problem would be friends farming each other for SP. so i suppose something of a diminishing return model would be needed. which would be good to keep pvp fluid as well.
but tbh, i'm not even completely sold on the idea myself... and generally most others aren't either. but maybe something in that direction would be a good solution.

Supers are broken as they have become the only ships that matter in sov wars.

If by that you mean posting in yet another Tom Gerard troll thread with a bad idea, that isn't going to actually change anything, then yes.

Capital ships didn't destroy anything. Small gangwarfare exists in lowsec, and it is as terrible as it has always been. Now, supercaps might have screwed some things up but thats another story. 2/10 ________________________________________________ Zymurgist is gay. Forum ****'s are terrorists. |

Thats because the shiptype that is meant for capital pvp (dreadnought) sucks at doing what it is supposed to Prospecting! |

Why don't I not bother? Another TG thread reported for trolling.
Does your alliance know you're breaking their no-troll policy?
