Subcaps already can't fight caps without hugley outnumbering them, so your point is irrelevant. Them being able to target supercaps is useless if you can't achieve anything with it on your own.

A more relevant comparaison would be to have battleships being able to switch whenever they want between Large, anti-BS guns and small, anti-frig guns. It's not done for balance purposes, to avoid solopwnmobiles. And there is no reason for supercaps to escape that balance rule just because they cost a bit to build.

Don't forget that supercaps are two sizes above battleships.

really, all it takes is one hictor and a super is dead eventually, just hold it in place till the kill fleet arrives.

but some already can, t2 ammo allows for those changes, drone boats like the domi can carry a full range of drones for that, so so much for that argument. Also BS's are 2 sizes above frigates, your point ( but a supercarrier is technically a tier 2 carrier, so only 1 and a bit above a battleship )

Oh no a Gallente ship is versatile whatever shall we do?! Drones can be killed quickly by frigates, there's your balance.

really, all it takes is one hictor and a super is dead eventually, just hold it in place till the kill fleet arrives.

Look at how dumb you are.

(all it takes is one heavy neut and that hictor loses its tackle and the supercarrier escapes)

and without resorting to name calling, see the new t2 hictor point range and the ability to stay outside of even officer heavy neuts range. this point counterpoint can go on all day.

"All it takes", eh?

You have a strange definition of those words, when you mention a killer fleet in the same sentence.

Pray tell, what are the supercap's friends doing while that kill fleet is on it's way? Sipping tea somewhere?

"I botted for 2 whole months to buy this supercap! I shouldn't have to worry about things like support fleets, or tactics, or fittings!"

We are here and we are reading your feedback.

We will be iterating on our balancing efforts based on the feedback in this and other threads and will release some more balancing in early 2012.

Any news on this?

Yea, were is the promise CCP made about re-balancing minmatar capitals (all of them) ? That does include the Hel. The Hel is still a useless flying brick. When is that gonna change ?
They said they were looking at Shield capitals... Were are the implants ? Were are all the other stuff they spoke about to re-balance them ?

first, the Phoenix change won't happen as it takes too much time to generate a new model with turret-hardpoints.
The other dread changes seem quite fair to me, though I don't have a dread and don't care about them much either.

What i do care about is the wyvern. To be honest, I would rather have a slave implant for shields as well as the change how shield buff were added then those 2.5% more base resist.
Scan resolution, well as long as supers don't have a full flight off fighters and bombers the wyvern does not need it, and the 200 base cpu, well don't need it either.

Regarding the chimera though I would appreciate those changes, it really does need a cpu boost or cap shield transfers need a reduction in cpu need. Either way it's definitely needed.


So CCP, give us a heads up !
