The side with the biggest titan blob will still obliterate any hostile opposition. They would DD the hell out of hostile caps and supers....their guns will decimate the hostile support. The consequence is: The underdog cant use capitals and supercaps, as long as a overwhelming DD party waits for him. Buissness as usual, this patch wont change anything. Even a supercarrier will pop quckly to a couple DDs. Alliances with huge titanblobs will benefit from this patch.
I see youre buffing Dreads to be useful again, and to be a counter to supers. But as I said. As long as a dread dies in one second via DD, they wont do any dmg. Keep in mind that very high numbers of titans ....like 30+....are pretty much eve standard.
So if you want to create an useful patch:
- reduce DD damage to something logical...like 1 million.
- prohibit DD to be used vs. subs (done)
- nerf Titan XL weaponry, so they cant hit BS and BC (without nerfing dreads)
- nerf super HPs (already done)
- nerf logout (done)
- nerf logistic ships to get more dynamic subcap fights.
- make capitals to survive at least one DD with a good amount of remaining HP (look at point 1)
- dont totally defang supercarriers they already got 20% hp reduction.
- superarrier should at least be able to launch one full wing of bombers and fighters (fighter+bomber bay)
- create a dronebay which can carry a logical amount of drones: like 1 wing of heavies/sentries and couple of lights)
- Preseve Gallente as "drone race! To prohibit drones @ moros and nyx would just be another obligatory gallente nerf, coming
with ever y expansion, stop nerfing gallente !
- those dreads without drones are silly, ccp wtf do you even know your own game?
- if you really intend to prohibit drones @ SCs and reduce their Bombers/Fighters, plz dont call them Supercarrier anymore, rename it in SBU-removal-tool. They wont be a carrier anymore, since they cant carry even basic stuff.
Supercarriers just with one wing of bombers and 10 fighters would be the laughing stock of eve, they couldnt even fight off a hostile destroyer, while titans remain largely unchecked.....this will just lead into titanblob online. Good job ccp.
