Has anyone considered that perhaps CCP should set it up that each race has a viable skirmish and fleet command ship? Instead of making Minmatar/Gallente kings of small gangs and Amarr/Caldari kings of fleet boosting, give each race one command ship with a resist bonus and the other with the local rep bonus.

This allows those who prefer a specific race to choose a ship based on not just it's weapon types, but on whether they will be doing small gang or fleet ops.

remember
T1 bc. 17 slots
Faction. 18 slots
T2 bc. 17. Slots

The previous post bring up a good point, T2 ships usually has more slots than its t1 counterparts.

Its a laughable joke that T1 and Navy ships have more slots than T2.

a bunch of name calling and no proof

Help the EOS for goodness sake!!!! What kind of bonuses are those anyway?

To be fair the eos is much better than what's live right now. The live eos is just an abortion of bonuses.

I'd rather see the eos with the current bonus layout and give it the slot you unjustly robbed of it, you take a slot away but give double 10% damage bonuses to other cs's

Have you ever used the live eos? Have you seen anyone use the live eos?

Believe it or not, but this balance pass goes a bit beyond simply "improving" ships, it's intent is "balance".

...which means that a bad ship, such as the live eos, would get improved yes?

Absolution:
Amarr Battlecruiser skill bonuses:
4% bonus to all Armor Resistances
10% bonus Medium Energy Turret capacitor use
Command Ships skill bonuses:
5% bonus to Medium Energy Turret rate of fire
10%(+5) bonus Medium Energy Turret damage
3% bonus to strength of Armored Warfare and Information Warfare links
Fixed Bonus:
Can fit up to three Warfare Link modules

...

10% bonus Medium Energy Turret capacitor use

...

Give us proper bonuses on Amarr laser ships, like so:

10% bonus Medium Energy Turret optimal range
(was 10% bonus Medium Energy Turret capacitor use)


And then introduce a new skill Controlled Energy Bursts(5x), the skill reduces capacitor use by Energy Turrets by 10% per level, requires Controlled Bursts V.

Please, it is needed.

Believe it or not, but this balance pass goes a bit beyond simply "improving" ships, it's intent is "balance".

The suggestion proposed by elrith was to return an unjustly removed slot from the eos, while retaining the current bonuses proposed for 1.1.

Armor tanked Nighthawk anyone?

6/5/7 would make it quite interesting and unique without changing the bonuses(which would make it something special and different than any of the other drone boats, so please don't change the bonuses just the slots)

I got a better Idea!

Skillname: Trolololo Amarr

-25% Cap Use for all Amarr Ships per Level and 50% more Tracking, Range or Damage if the Laser Crystal does need it.




... Please we dont need Special Race Skills...

I wonder how badly the cap would be without the -10% cap usage per level?

My absolution has 3min 20sec of cap with the MWD on (faction mwd) and is cap stable without it. I'm buffer fit, so no armor repairer. Of course, i have almost perfect cap skill (only need lv5 for mwd cap usage) and gunnery skill.

I'm pretty sure removing the -10% cap usage per level would make amarr ship even more vulnerable to neuting AND hurts a lot newer players who don't have good skill in cap. Just look at the abaddon for PVE. Cap is often a problem for noobs. I'm flying a nightmare and god, how many time i have read it was short on cap, when me and older players with better skill don't seem to have one.
