Arbitrary limitations don't work.
- Coalitions are made up of quite a few different alliances.
- Major alliances can set up "shell" alliances to bypass the 1 per alliance limit (hint: they already do this with their money and gear to safeguard it).

Keep them in "deep" friendly territory then. Bring them out when you absolutely need to and/or when you have very good intel.
Silent Rambo wrote:3. Locking a module to a specific character once it has been picked up. The ultimate commitment, only one player way wield this at a time.
That defeats the purpose of being able to "switch hands" at a moment's notice, doesn't it?
Silent Rambo wrote:4. The module would show up like a Cyno does, open to all in the eve universe as to its whereabouts. 5. The module would have to have a devastating impact, but have a very long cool down time (5 hours, maybe more). This kind of power should not be used lightly. This also makes the person wielding it vulnerable in the cool downtime).
Soooooo... you wipe out a whole fleet (and probably not all the fleets the enemy has). Now the superweapon is effectively an expensive target.
Where is the appeal in this?
Silent Rambo wrote:6. This one is easy. Make it impossible for them to be trashed or reprocessed, and have them always drop as loot.
Moot point. Titans can't dock so it's impossible to do either.
As for the "always lootable" idea... good... but it means that people will only use them when...
- victory is assured
- defeat is assured
Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective. |
