What would you think about doubling the power of cruiser weapons, but also doubleing their fitting requirements and tripling the power of BS weapons, but tripling their fitting requirements?
So what do you think?
EDIT: And Cap usage would be doubled and tripled as well.

i don't like it
if not coupled with a fitting increase, it would slaughter many current setups and lead to too many fitting mods or lots of empty slots - not something i want to see. would also hugely increase skills divide (meaning those without good fitting skills are screwed) would also boost the raven a lot IMO
if coupled with a comparative fitting increase, but not coupled with a comparative tanking increase, it would send ganking through the roof
if it was coupled with a comparative fitting and tanking increase, it would slaughter the idea of using smaller ships (like inties/AFs on cruisers, or HACs on BSs) against a larger ship to destroy it
i think medium guns need fixing in some ways, but i don't think these changes should be made --

Edited by: Wrayeth on 29/10/2005 21:14:07 Significantly increasing medium turret tracking would be much better, IMHO. This would finally allow cruisers to fulfill their role as frig-killers.
EDIT: Oh, and how could I forget?...reduce the sig radius penalty of heavy missiles vs. frigs. -Wrayeth

Well, my response wasn't a joke - right now tech 1 cruisers have no real role. They can't effectively kill battleships except in packs (as it should be) and they can't effectively kill most frigs. -Wrayeth

Well the point of this idea is to promote mixed weapons without any undue loss of offensive power. instead of only fitting a full rack of the same guns.
As for it being a joke...think about it more.

but you would have to change the scaling of the weapons as well, otherwise tachyons, 1400s, etc. become utterly useless -==- Holy-Jim> as you know, surprise is the key to victory.....surprise! LooseCannoN> ahh! LooseCannoN> my plans have been foiled! |

sure they can, they just have to use small guns.

The Tachyon I dmg mod would be 12x...base.
The Mega Beam I would would be 9x.
It's the same scaling we have now...just tripled.

I don't know why people say Cruisers can't kill frigates. They can easily slaughter them.
They have troubles when it comes to Interceptors because of there increased speed, firepower and reduced signature radius.
Inties are uber filling a role they shouldn't be imo. ________________________________________________________

That is true, but then they also loose the bonuses given, since bonuses usually target the medium turrents, not small. Would be nice with some kind of crappy quad\gatling type of medium gun, with good tracking, that could be fitted for point defense.
Destroyers are the ships that are actually suposed to fill the antifrig role, but they have been overnerfed imho. Most inty pilots dont fear destroyers at all, likek Meridius said, they are uber. ----------------------

You mean remove blasters from the game?

Wouldnt this make battles go a hell of a lot faster?
I'd prefer to increase the defensive modules to make them last longer, which is what CCP is intending to do if I'm not mistaken. -------------------------

Okay, Im not sure I understand why tripling fittings needed would also mean you cant fit any at all.
What is with this all or none attitude when it comes to guns.
Also, lets add in bonuses work on all weapons of that type. So All lasers would get a cap use reduction on an Amarr BS.

because at the moment, my raven has enough fitting to fit 8 sieges, but i can only fit 6 due to hardpoints.
with these changes, i think i could reasonably easily (maybe with 1 CPU mod though) fit 3 sieges, which would give me the equivalent of NINE old sieges. would you want to meet that? i sure wouldn't  --

Perhaps that is more indicative of a problem with the Raven (still =/) than a problem with my idea.

not realy a problem with the raven IMO. the raven is balanced to do a good DPS with its 6 missile hardpoints, leaving it 2 utility slots --

Dual 425mm Autocannon IIs would become the new pwn and everyone would start training Minmatar. Some loyalists may stick with Gallente and use Electron Blaster Canon IIs. Amarr and Caldari would fall hopelessly behind with their massively gimped new fittings and cap usage

It would really help if you take the time to describe properly what is the problem, and how your solution solves it. People who don't agree with your perception of a problem sure as hell won't agree with your solution. For me, your solution is a problem and your problem isn't one.
And no, you can't have a solo pwnmobile.

And now with the drone changes, who still thinks my idea is bad?
What is wrong with wanting to solo without worrying about being attacked and being able to fight back?
Frankly this 'Blob or Die' attitude is starting to **** me off.
Some of us dont feel like we need to kill 20 nodes to fight.

When I read about this idea the first time I thought it's not worth thinking about it (was about to hit reply and flame you ).
This would actually add more "realism" to the game. Still thinking about the fitting possibilitys...

Thought about it..
..interesting idea, yeah. But would end up with battleships overpowered i think. (Being able to fit a full complement of battleship weapons, as well as frigate guns etc)

It may be overpowered to a degree. But it would also make attacking certain types of targets more than just 5 minutes of shooting a tackled ship.
