Edited by: Drykor on 15/08/2011 15:41:53 The issue with titans (or motherships) isn't necessarily the damage, but the fact that they can just logoff when they're losing a fight. In a big blob, this means that the losing fleet may lose a couple of them but the winning fleet definitely won't have enough time to kill all of them. When a solo titan or mothership gets tackled by a subcap fleet (possibly including a dread) it can still disappear after the aggro timer.
15 minutes used to be more than enough to kill anything, but it just wasn't intended for supercapitals and all the hp buffs that Eve has had over the years. Now logoff mechanics are pretty lame as they are, but when they become a can't-lose button obviously something is wrong.
Solution: make supercap agression timer 1 hour. That means supercaps won't get used as solo pwnmobiles so much anymore AND it will make sure they actually blow up in a big fleet vs fleet fight.
They can still log off relatively safely inside a POS or after jumping into another system. --- Drykor - AHARM |

There are more than 30 vids of supers getting owned after logging off on youtube. Just saying.
What does that have to do with anything? I never said they cannot die after logging off, but a significant amount of the fleet WILL be safe and losses will be fairly minor compared to what should have been blown up in a lost fight. --- Drykor - AHARM |

Originally by: freshspree That was the impression you gave in your comment. You said "15 minutes used to be more than enough to kill anything, but it just wasn't intended for supercapitals and all the hp buffs that Eve has had over the years. Now logoff mechanics are pretty lame as they are, but when they become a can't-lose button obviously something is wrong." Do you remember now? It doesn't change the fact that log off timers need a revamp and not only for supers.
Well you must have only read that part of the post then. --- Drykor - AHARM |
