Ephphatha GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 3	Posted - 2013.02.14 05:35:00 - [1] - Quote Here's an idea. If you want a ship with supercapital levels of HP, why not use a supercapital? Then you could use devhax to light a cyno in the target system, jump from the source, and skip any element of danger anyway.

It's an OOC comment wrapped in an IC sentence. It's a battleship. I would've expected around 500k ehp. I wasn't on the event so I didn't even bother planning for it, but I whipped something up in EFT anyway to see how ridiculous a tank would be possible using ingame items as that is what was probably planned for. Tempest Tribal Issue, Dualtank (Pastebin of EFT Textblock) 598k EHP (not counting fleet boost/boosters). This is in the realm of being killable by a determined fleet but would be very hard to do. If a support fleet was present, they would have plenty of time to react and attack the aggressors or use logistics to repair the ship. For reference, Freighters have around 170-200k EHP. Jump Freighters have around 320-360k EHP. A combat fit TFI has ~200k EHP Che Biko wrote: You guys are pretty much losing all crediblity here. You're nailing CCP falcon, one man of the amazing team that made it possible for players to influence the storyline more than ever before, to the cross for one event where he has to resort to GOD-modding (which in the RP world is another word for being GM) a ship to be nearly impossible to kill, while he does not (yet) have better tools at his disposal. You know what would've made this ship impossible to kill? A support fleet. A decent amount of logistics ships, some ewar ships, some dps ships. In past events CCP have formed up a fleet of 30-50 ships, that's perfectly sufficient to defend a ship in highsec especially with the new aggression mechanics. I'm not arguing that we should've been able to blow it up no matter what, but it would've been great to be able to even make a dent in the ships shields or engage in a battle with a determined defense fleet. Having a single unescorted ship flying around that didn't even show signs of shield damage after being fired on by 25 ships is not a great player experience.
