Saying it's not fair to pay 15b ISK for them to be vulnerable to losing offensive capibilities is stupid. It's scalable to saying you shouldn't lose a Vindicator to a Dramiel but you still can if you fly it like an idiot.
Just thought I'd drop by to point out that this is literally the worst analogy I've ever seen. Vindicators *can't* have their primary offensive capability blown up. Also, Vindicators carry 90% webs and have a big drone bay, both of which give them great potential to kill smaller, lesser ships (another thing supers can't do now). Vindicators are an awesome example of a ship that, in exchange for large sums of money, is extremely powerful and capable of handling a diverse set of combat situations. Other than that though, great analogy. |

Give supercarriers the ability to repair items, so people in hostile space who damage their mods can drop the mods into the super and have them repaired in the MODULE REPAIR BAY.
Also add mini-manufacturing facilities that can be used to make things like nanite paste, ammos, drones, anchorable bubbles and other consumables.
Make supercarriers into support ships that can sustain a subcap gang in hostile territory for extended periods of time so I can live out my BSG fantasies. Do it CCP. Do it. |

Or you could not be ********, pack a full compliment of fighter-bombers and do what your ship does best: mouth-grape other caps. You can bet it will be 20fb/15f in my Nyx.
I do think that supercarriers should get some fun new gimmick in exchange for their drones and EHP nerf though. |

Lol, there was a nice hurricanes vs 10 titans and a giant pile of nyxes fight today. Guess what killed all the hurricanes? Hint: it wasn't overpowered supercarrier drones. |

It's gonna take more than removing links from titans to keep their guns from blapping subcabs, hth. The patch is a step in the right direction but titans are still gonna rip BS gangs etc to shreds.
e: though I agree that the DD change has important ramifications for HICs in particular. |

CCP should do something to make supercarriers more useful outside of direct combat since now more than ever they'll be relegated to unopposed structure shooting unless some new functionality is added.
I want them to make superscarriers into awesome combat logistics hubs-- triple the SMA / CHA / Fuel Bay capacities and add "facilities" that let them refine dropped loot (scrapmetal processing) and build combat consumables like ammo, paste, drones, anchorable bubbles, warp disrupt probes, scripts, etc. Also maybe a repair bay to rep burned-out modules or something... could give SCs a cool new role. |

Sigras wrote:so everyone who is whining about having their drone bay size nerfed . . . what if they made it so you could carry 20 fighters and 20 fighter bombers without the ability to mix and match?
IE a separate bay for fighters and fighter bombers.
TL;DR Do you really want to field a flight of fighters or are you using that as an excuse to field endless amounts of fighter bombers like you can now.
God no! Not a ship made to do dps to other caps that could continue to do dps to other caps as long as it remains on the field! How imba is that!
Yes, people want to be able to carry fighters and bombers (a full compliment of both). No, they're not arguing for bigger bays so they could hold more bombers (35 bombers is already a lot of spares). Even if they did just want to carry more bombers, would anyone give a ****? The original INFINITE DRONES complaint was in regard to SCs ability to field effectively unlimited LIGHT (as in sub-fighter) drones. That is what people were bitching about, because it gave SCs the ability to kill off endless waves of subcaps (which was a valid complaint, though i think the right answer would have been to give SCs a normal drones bay capable of holding, say, 20 light drones, 20 meds, and 20 heavies/sentries rather than eliminating all regular drones entirely).
Noone cares if they can kill endless waves of dreads-- that's their job. |
