I can't possibly keep up with this threadnaught but i'll do my best to summarise;
By removing regular drones you remove too much effectiveness of supercarriers against subcaps, which means there's even less attrition of them from being used in smaller numbers, which becomes too unsafe.
So these changes probably only push super cap deployment further into the super blob domain - for mutual security. And when you have 90 SC's drop 20 fighters each at the time your fleet is trying to enter system, it doesn't matter how many replacements they have, or don't have, because about 50% of the incoming fleet will blackscreen, and the other will get slaughtered. This happened in geminate, vale and trib more than once this year.
So generally, make them more gankable. Remove their ability to fit a cloak, make them much slower to get into warp, whatever. Reduce their EHP way more.
And make them vulnerable to ewar. this is the solution to SC's speedtanking sieged dreads (you can web them, and bring a new definition to hero rifter), and significant super blobs with distributed ewar on subcaps. Fine, give them super strong sensors so they're not automatically jammed up by 150 unbonused multispectrals or 2000 ec-300's, and whatever the numbers work out to require say 50 sensor damps to be useful. But this makes them into normal ships, with normal vulnerabilities. Why isn't this the correct course?
But I don't care that much, I'll take any nerf whether I think it's heavy handed or not, I've been on the receiving end of super blobs all year.
Thanks for not reading. \o |

1. When are we going to test it on the Singularity Test Server? 2. Any more changes for the dreads planned such as more than 2 targhets , better sensor resolution, maybe some increase to damage? 3. Tracking nerf to Titans planned? |

As a Nyx pilot, here are some of my thoughts: Supercarriers are too hard to kill -Only for subcaps. In capital/supercapital engagements they pop like balloons. When you drop that much isk into a single ship, it should be extremely difficult for subcaps to kill you. I don't feel that supercarriers need the HP nerf.
Supercarriers are too versatile I completely agree. I think the drone bay changes are an excellent change.
Titan DD's Again I think this is a good change.
No more drones on Dreads, but Siege module +700% damage This is good but I don't think it's enough. Dreads need to have better tracking in Siege Mode. The changes to cycle time and fuel consumption are excellent.
Moros RoF bonus I anticipate that this is going to cause capacitor problems for Moros. However, with the upcoming hybrid turret buff that's been hinted at, perhaps it won't be a problem.
tl;dr: Great changes overall. I don't think Supercarriers need less HP, if anything I think they need more. I think the RoF bonus on the Moros is going to screw up its cap. |

You might be right to some degree, so here's hoping we can hold CCP on continuing to iterate on capital balance once these changes go live. However, you did leave out Time Dilation from the equation, which should, in theory, help prevent the problem of the black screen on jump in. Time will tell. |

This should be interesting! With the nerf of Supers, the price will surely fall.
How will this effect the lottery prices of Darkness and Chribba?
It's an important question. Surely ticket prices will change since the prize won't be worth as much anymore.
All in all, I like most of the changes. Flying various ships is enjoyable but I still think Dread tracking needs to be a bit more.
Other than that, fair enough. |

Cause I feel like it is needed to repeat something someone else has said for the sake of CCP noticing!
Titan tracking needs to be fixed period. I have been in too many fleets where they had 40 Titans all gank fit, and our 400-500 man battleship blob, etc, gets raped by their guns and we lose over half our fleet. |

This is awesome. A greater reduction in Supercarrier EHP (-50%) would have been nice but all of this sounds good so far.
Btw what happened to the increased ship bay for Carriers ? |

I agree with all the changes.
I'd like to see a bigger role for (covert ops) bomber frigates and black ops battleships. If they could do extra damage against capital ships and supercapitals, that could make things interesting.
It might give black ops battleships a coherent, specific, useful role. |

Now this game can be renamed to sub capitals online. This patch is making plain capitals useless against sub caps.

Your first three paragraphs were good. Then it collapsed.. the blob comment is correct. However, you're wrong that they needs to be more gankable and unable to fit cloak and/or be vulnerable to ewar. That'd be a regular carrier (that can dock). These are supercaps for a reason. I've myself flown and killed several supers in smaller to bigger scale combat. EHP is fine, and they're already vulnerable to neuts, hics, bumps, numbers, that's quite alot already.
Supers (moms as well as titans) need a nerf, that's for sure. But the only issue with them is damage, nothing else. FB's were a dumb idea (and as a mom-pilot before they even came into game I suggested that before we even had them). I've myself benefitted from them, so I should be biased towards them. But at the end of the day, the only issue with moms and titans are their damage output. And the only solution that would be needed is a nerf/removal of FB/DD.

This nerf = Win Subcap battle, Kill all supers on the field.
So with this nerf, supers can no longer defend themselves from subcaps, and are committed for 23 hours once they cyno in.
That means that if you have a 15 man super fleet (mid size alliance), plus 120 sub caps (mid size alliance), and lose the subcap battle, you also just permanently lost 15 supers.
Kthxbai. No way a sane super pilot will commit now unless they are 150% sure that they have a winning fleet. EVE is dead. |

Oh no, that means there might be large scale subcapital engagements where both sides are afraid to commit their supercapital assets. Now that would just be terrible.

Quote:I am quite aware that your alliance currently (appears to) lack the ability to deploy any sort of supercap force. IDC about "our lack of ability to deploy supers", this is about subcaps countering supercaps.
Quote:Welpfleet is no counter; it's just a way for goons to leverage their numbers majority in cheap ships to apply dps. It's a pretty good counter as it severely impedes supers by neuting their cap off and thus shutting down their hardeners, allowing them to be killed pretty quickly. Even with passive hardeners, they can't jump until they have restored cap to 70%.
Quote:If you look at some of the tactics RnK have used in the past to destroy supercarrier/carrier fleets in the past you'd maybe understand what I'm saying. (They beat a FA/WIdawt supercarrier/carrier gang that more than outnumbered them in supercarriers/carriers alone, killing 1 SC and several carriers, without ANY caps/scaps of their own.)
http://rooksandkings.com/killboard/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=25860 has been the only SC kill on FA or WIdot by RnK I could find on their killboard. Now, let's see what we've got there: 60-70 BS shooting 6 supers, 2 dreads, 10 carriers. Nothing more than a variation of "dish out enough DPS to kill them in 15 minutes" Hm, where's FA? No FA on related kills and no FA super has died by RnK hands either... I'm puzzled. Oh wait, there's no advantage in numbers of the capital fielding side. Sure nice memory you've got there. Or nice naive mind, believing everything people tell you.
Yeah, I guess a person owning SEVERAL PERSONAL SUPERCAPS should have more of a clue. Unlike common folks like me who don't want to live in a space tomb, right?
(CCP, that quote limit/BBCode could not be parsed thingy is awful. Also, your forums ate my first draft :() |

There are blob alliance there too, like yours, but apart from that you're right. W-space is where it's it, atm. Anyone who want smaller scale PvP and the 'danger' of old EVE should go live in w-space. Hilmar, Zulu, Soundwave: We care about our hobby. Do you care about your jobs? |

Firstly. Dedicated resources on ship balancing is super. Can't understand why CCP haven't done this in a structure way before. It's a competitive game and doing changes on the most important ingredient: the ships, is cruical.
Love the aggresion timer fix and hope that Dreads will get a better tracking.

now that my dread has no drones i guess it will be even more useless for doing anything other than shooting a structure. well as long as that structure doesn't start moving cause then you just screwed.
how about you do something that makes playing more fun rather then screwing with **** that never gets used.
or how about you make it so i can warp cloaked in my black ops. that bastard has collected more dust then the dread. |

Again CCP and the Goonie Devs act like a bunch of retards.
Maybe if the Goonies had built more Supers they wouldn't have cried and got such a stupid change.
So CCP you fools why should some now save and train for a super when a carrier is now 10x better for 20x less.
