People don't see the problem with DC being an active module? Really?

Damage control really needs to be passive. I forget to turn it on every time I go PVP...

Of course Tippia is opposed to making it passive so that can only mean there is some way to use it being active to be a jerk.

I think there is a logical fallacy involved here.

How about we make all passive mods (ALL mods, shield extenders, etc etc) active, and they have a 30 sec timer and cost 1 cap. That must be great, yeah?

They all have "comparable" modules which are passive.

I think rather, since this was supposed to be passive in the first place, add another module which is all so slightly more powerful?

So it's about time they rebalance the DC too then.

Do you really find it that much of a reward, having to activate this module so much?

It's an extra click, and it's unnecessary.

DC should quite obviously be a passive module. The test of whether a module should be passive or not is if there is any point in having the module switched off.

As for the argument that it is some kind of an elite skill to click a module on everytime,,, really?

Is this a serious argument?

But as others have said I think the actual module is a little badly implemented and would like to see it reworked someday.

Its not difficult, but it serves little purpose. Also it gets annoying if your doing multiple jumps and have to keep switching it on everytime.

And so making the module properly active would aid these goals you are setting out above.

It's about as properly active as a passive module that draines 1 cap every 30 seconds is properly passive, lol.

Are you just trying to troll now or what?

Adding a noticeable amount of cap use to the DC and giving it a small cycle time should make you happy if and alleviate the problems of AFKing and not being able to nuet it off you were complaining about above?

The reason it should be changed to one or the other is to improve gameplay.

But I agree with the OP's notion that it would benefit from a change in the future if CCP get that chance.

The reasons are obvious if you think them through.

For one, you don't have to push a button every time you sneeze.

This is not a fact, it's your opinion, and it brings nothing to this discussion really.

You don't leave your guns on and forget about them until the fight is over.

Except jumping. And undocking.

Hardeners are situational.

You think the DC is situational in a fight?

The fact remains, there are no situation where you explicitly do not want your DC to be on.

Quite clearly you have never camped two gates in nullsec with several characters at once before.

Try understanding the situation of others before stating opinions as facts.

You mean other than the need to activate it every jump because the only reason you jump is to fight?

"Position or status with regard to conditions and circumstances."
"of, relating to, or appropriate to a situation"

By definition, there needs to be a situation where it is inappropriate.

Every module I can think of in this game has an advantage to being either off or on. On, it does it's job, off it will save you cap, or in speed terms, let you align faster. The damage Control has no advantage to being off. Ever

You have to turn the DCU on every time you uncloak to enter combat. You have to turn the DCU on every time you jump through a gate or portal or cyno and enter combat.... There are many times you have to turn this module on when "entering" combat.

What are smartbombs?

Is it not a fact that there is no reason not to have the DC on?

]Situational is not simply "it can be on or off, so it's situational".

You still have not given any reason for why you would want it off.

And what point is that? Neuts? Give me a break, when did that ever happen

There are no situations where it is useful not to have it active.

Oh except when trying to safe log-off, which happens(in my opinion) to be another reason to make it passive.

What? I don't even... "It is useful to not have it active when you don't need it". Are you serious?

Then why do you online your shield extender before undocking?

Activating passive modules for 1 cap seems to give you so much satisfaction.

Really man, quote the whole sentence

Neither is switching security every time you log on.

Nor is opening ships and inventory when you dock.
Or resizing the info window when you open it.

Or having to drag all modules from a wreck to your cargo (pre loot all).

Or activating every ungrouped gun (pre grouping).

Yet again Tippia, this is getting tiring, you do not respond to the issue, but make up a fictional and respond to them and win a fictional argument.

Those things are/were not huge chores (respond to the damn argument *for once, please*) but Eve is a better place because we are rid of those small issues.
