Just a thought, before i forget again. :s
The new missile sizes make the missiles quite usable now... but, could similar size reduction be done for the capacitor booster charges? (and the internal capacity of the booster themselves, i figure)
For example, right now, the 300 cap charge takes 60 m3... which means, one can carry only 1-2 of those if they want to also fit some useful amount of ammo and missiles in the cargo bay... and a battleship burns this 300 cap in a few seconds in combat... which makes the whole concept of cap boosters pretty much useless in practice...
So... reducing the sizes of booster charges by factor of 10 --like the missiles-- or maybe even more could be something worth a try, i think... o.o;

Yep, I agree. I would actually consider using cap boosters if they didn't use my entire cargohold :-)

Yes, booster charges are LONG overdue to a volume reduction.

Capac booster charges are to big m3 wise. Also I would like to see a b-ship sized capac booster. Something with like a 1500 capac boost. Would make since. About 33% of what the b-ship capacitor holds. Currently those med ones cruises use give a 300 Capac boost.

This thread necro is quite interesting tbh.
To change booster size has been mentioned in 2003!!!!!! by j0.
When did they implement this great idea? in RMR.
CCP your ability to listen to your customers is pretty bad tbh. j0 deserves a little "Thank you" from ccp, don't you think?

Whats the point in this. All that will happen is the guy your fighting will be shoving his endless supply of charges in as well.
It will make a cap booster a must have module for every ship and further ensure that everyone fits the same setup as everyone else does.
...and before anyone says, it wont prolong combat at all.
No wait, scap all of that, it will let me solo tank the sentry guns for hours on end..

Not sure that I agree.
First let me say this: I only ever used the 800 sized charges.
My blastertron fits about 10-15 of them depending on how much ammo I drag along.
This is prefectly fine for me.
The idea about cab booster charges is that they will make it possible to for you to support a higher cap usage than normal for a limited time.
IOW they are not ment to support an UBAH gank/tank setup for a long battle.
They are ment to supply that extra kick you need to defeat an opponent before you run dry.
I strongly believe tha this is how they were intended to be.

Holy Forum Necromancy Batman.
Charges are still big and bulky, and fill a cargo hold. But they're also shockingly potent if used well, so seems reasonable to me.

It pays to read the thread.
However your awnser was very good and they definately don't need another size reduction. I too find them "Just Right" the way they are.

They were halved once around castor (I forget exactly when, it was a long time ago). They were halved again with the increase to ship HP/tanking modules so that the blasterthron wouldnt be complete poo.
Its cool though, ranting without knowing anything is like cruise control for cool.
