So say stabs were changed so they could not be effectively used on an attack ship, do you believe everything else will stay the same? Will just as many people now go out into 0.0 and fight the same way as before? Will this just benefit large alliances that can be in larger groups in 0.0? How about pirates? So many talk about changing stabs, but talk like nothing else is going to change. That the battles they do now will be the same and as frequent, just without stabs so they can kill their enemy.

You'd have to shift the entire paradigm of the game...
People would use recon much more, expendable ships more, and even weird set ups like using combat transports (with the built in +2stab) as a scouting platform...
Next, fights would last MORE... No stab, then what? Fit armor plates, cap relays, and armor resistance amplifiers...
These are just a few variables that come to mind... |

I would go...."WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
I never use stabs, only have them used against me. I'd be quite happy. -------------------------------------------------------- Ensign BSC Military The maximum image file size allowed for signatures is 24kb. --Jorauk |

Do you realize that those with stabs might not go out into low sec at all then? That might be great for you, but will it be good for Eve to have even less people in low sec? Or maybe I got it all wrong...
And almost everyone I know seems to never put on stabs, but they always fight against people that have stabs. It is like everyone uses stabs except themselves.

Remove warp scramblers/jammers as well. Only an interdictor bubble or MWD could warp scramble ships.
This would be balanced.

Honestly, if the only way someone would use a pvp battleship or HAC was to fit a rack of stabs, they're better off in a tech 1 cruiser.
For that matter, I'd love to see more people in cheap ships. It encourages people to fight more, and it gives less-skilled pvpers something to shoot for.

People don't use cheap ships because they have implants worth millions. If you want to see fighting increase significantly then make it easy (what we have now is not easy) to save your implants. Then you will see lots of non T2 Frig/Cruiser fights.
Personally, I think the biggest problem is how implants work.

great another goddamn WCS whining thread.
SHUT UP about the WCS.
There in the game, their not going to be removed, their not going to be nerfed.
SO shut up about WCS, because yoou might as well go complain about Missiles being overpowered, or why not go complain and say Energy weapons shouldnt have unlimited ammo. Or hell, why dont u complain about all of us not being able to own an imperial Apoc.
Or why not we have it your way.
take away all modules, take away all the special faction ships, and we can just bump each other into hell!

How about this.
If WCS were removed, Then Warp Jamming Could be Removed (it basically cancels each other out, and now people have slots in which they can put other things than WCS and Warp Jamming).
If Warpcore Jamming is present, then a counter to them (warp core stabalizers) should also be present.

This is not a WCS whining thread as I think WCS are fine how it is. I am trying to get people to think past the initial perceived benefit of having the WCS removed or changed.

How about they change WCS like all other modules? huh? great idea! (quoted from another thread)
Originally by: Hamatitio
They just need to ******* make them like every other ECM module.
Note: Each ship already has a listed Propulsion Strength. This strength is then pitted against a new variety of warp scramblers, Including: Multispectral Scrambler: -2 to all (close range 7500) [Race] Scrambler: -3 or 4 to the specific race to which it applies, -1 to the rest. Long range (20km)
We then take these, and use the same formula that is used to decide whether or not the target is scrambled.
Bump it back up to a 10-15 second duration, that shuts off when the damn ship is blown up.
Shuttles and pods wouuld have a strength of 1, allowing all scramblers to get them, and Freighters, would have a strength of 4, needing hte racial to effectively hold it in place, else it gives it a slight chance of escaping.
Now, this also opens the option for Tech2 Warp core stabs AND warp scramblers, along with a skill that increases the strength of these modules. Stabs would also become a +xx% to strength, with a slight stacking penalty...

If stabs were dropped from the game then the people who use them now would have a choice. PvP without stabs or give up EVE. I believe the majority would carry on without stabs - only a few would give up EVE because of it (the whiner tpyes)

is an *EXCELLENT* idea Imo it would make things much more balanced and much less.. frustrating? It even makes the propultion strength you see in ship info actually useful instead of being just for show.. Hell even w/o stabs you could have a chance to escape. Also i agree that if stabs were removed there would be more use of actual RECON and longer/better fights, with cheaper setups and fewer people saying "omfg i just lost my 2bil isk ship i quit eve"

I wouldn't say remove them from the game, but rather make ships fitted with them be ineffective in combat. With WCS fitted:
Launcher and turret refire rates should double (i.e. take twice as long).
No EW of any sort should be able to be fitted, aside from ECM burst.
This would make WCS useful for non-combat ships, but at the same time eliminate their use on anything but scouting ships for PvP. -Wrayeth

Moaning about stabs is boring and pointless.It's like the players in most FPS whining about 1 shot/1 kill snipers (counter-strike,rainbow six etc). If WCS are nerfed then scramblers/disruptors also need to be nerfed...

The solution in my mind would be to make stabs cause weapon functions and EWAR not to work due to 'unbalancing warp core stability'. Or something. "Speak quietly and carry a big torpedo."

I don't know, but it seems to me that the only people who 8itch about warp core stabs are the people who try to kill people like UDIE. They are the ones who come out with like 50-1 odds and rerfuse to fight with any even odds. If they don't have the balls to come out even I don't see why stabs make a difference? Stabs are simply a mechanism that allows small and skilled PvP units to effectively engage HUGE numbers without getting scrambled by some noob in a BS. Its called a tackler you Noobs. Take a vigil and set it up, not for Uber dmg (lol) but maybe actually try using it for what it was designed for instead of griefing about people with stabs getting away from your gankgeddon. Come on people, whining about stabs is not the way, just get over it and maybe use your brains!
BTW FIX DAMPNERS TomB, you lazy sod. :)

Problem is, when people fit 5x WCS in lows, you need 5x the numbers in order to scramble them, else you are just wasting yoru time.
WCS encourage blobbing, plain and simple. ---

this one mae me laugh.. having 3 ravens, all fitted with warpcores requires atleas3-5ceptors (one ceptor donw per volley if the raven pilots arent nubs) and then u need some battleships with a good alphastrike dmg.
and this is what is called a blob.
now what came first? the hen or the egg? - Purple Conquered The World, We the Universe.

And removal of WCS leads to less combat.

I think stabs should be like anti damage mods. If you dont want to fight then its just the same but if your aiming to actually fight then it would effect your abillity.
If you've got the balls to attack somebody then at least have the dignaty to be killed by them if things turn bad. Please resize your sig. It is too large. (max size is 400x120 pixels/24000 bytes) -Falke |

If it was just a raven with WCS it might be doable. However, it's not.
It's several ravens with WCS, and also with ECM jammers and/or sensor dampers. -Wrayeth

...or the better 'hey im a real man I never use stabs' ..sooooooooooooo wot, who cares, I don't.
Fit what you like, it's the beauty of eve.
Just adapt, think your way to getting the kill, stop whining about it

Edit: Just realised how confusing that is. It means that no stabs would make EVE a pirates playground.  --------------
