This will go a long way to balancing the game and giving newer alliances the chance to succeed.

As the owner of a Titan, I see the validity of the argument that Tib is making, but it will never happen.

I too remember the days when there were only a few Titans and Supercarriers. They were unbalanced and gamebreaking then, just as they are now that there are more of them. Unfortunately, I think they are here to stay.

I'm not saying the OP's point isn't valid I'm saying it won't solve anything when it comes to Alliances with well over 2000 members against Alliances with (if they're lucky) 500 members, and forget Alliances with less than 200 members. Gigantic Alliances will be able to steamroll smaller ones no matter what ship types they're using, period, because all that really matters in Eve's blob warfare is who has the biggest blob. That's not to say a smaller blob NEVER wins, but when faced with 1.5-1 or as much as 20-1 ratios the smaller Fleet with lose most of the time.

Also, SP capping out players basically gives them nothing to work for and thus CCP may lose subs, even if all they have to train for now is different Race's Supers.

Don't you think that the biggest problems is the blob?

Here a few sugestions: SOV CHANGES and POS CHANGES

Besides beeing a forum alt for paranoidic reasons and not flying something lager than a BS...

Perhaps its not the supercaps that "ruin" the game. Perhaps its the cyno is the issue. Yeah it would require the gates to be able to handle every ship size.

Having no cyno would hurt life in non-empire massively but would force the players to work much more together than they do now. Think of Convoys, outmanouvering enemy fleets, the need to produce the most of your stuff in the place you live in. Making your own space worthwile to live in, because you actively don't want to stick to empire rules that someone made up. Basically comitting yourself to that space.

I believe that cynos are a the root of the evil stalemate in 0.0 .

remove supers and swarms of regular carriers will bloat out your sun. nothing solved

one thing you could do, is simply put in a from this date no more titans or supercarriers will ewer be able to built, then that are in the game, is those that exist, and on after one will they slovly disapear... that also will give those that have them, a sence of feeling special, maybe a compromise

Regular carriers can easily be killed by Dreads, no matter how many you have in fleet.

Yes, lets make people run MMO escort missions all day every day.

It's a game. Trying to turn it into world war one for the sake of making it less fun and more annoying.. why?

And regular Carriers + Dreads can't do much of anything against a large whelp fleet of sub caps. If some small Alliance trying to eek out an existence drop 50 Carriers/Dreads (with some escort obv) against say Goon's massive cannon fodder fleets they'd be toast, which is exactly how it happens now. The Goon's 200+ Neut Cane fleets are particularly devastating against Cap fleets and cost the Goons basically nothing, they don't even have to risk Cap ships other than to come in at the end and mop up what's left.

You really are butt-hurt about Goons. Get over it. No one cares that some big, bad fleet touched you in a place the sun don't shine. If some big group of dudes want to use caps and you're afraid of Goons, get a spy and avoid being dropped altogether. If you want to play with the big boys, you gotta play like the big boys.

No, I'm using Goons as an example because they are EXACTLY the type of Alliance that stands in the way of the smaller Alliances that YOU hope to help with the removal of Supers. And I was around when BoB was the evil of Eve and Goons were the good guys... Then we all learned differently once BoB was gone.

As plain as I can explain it, your idea simply will not work. Smaller Alliances will NEVER be competitive against much larger ones NO MATTER WHAT ship types are in the game, period.

Remove them all then reseed so only one of each type can exist.

Make them a unique item in which only one can exist at any given time.

I want to bring back Dreadnought slugfeasts and the days when Carriers were considered something amazing. .

And then when PL have all eight of them...

Sadly i think CCP have invested too much into them to simply agree to remove them. But at the same time it's difficult to see how they can ever really be put into proper balance.

Unless they are massively powerful they have no valuable.

But

If they are massively powerful there are too many which can be put into a overpowered concentrated force.

it's a shame, cos the early days of titans where pretty awsome, and it was a ship that struck fear into players. now there are hundreds of them, it's hard to be taken seriously if you can't field them.
