Originally by: Randay Aside from the very obvious 7.5% bonus to shield boost amount, here are a couple more that might prove interesting:
That is the worst case scenario... don't tempt tux please. Some (most) people armor tank their Minmatar Capital Ships. Remember this bonus will apply to the Hel too.
WRONG! /lexluther
This is the best case scenario. All minmatar ships with a tanking bonus have been shield boost amount bonuses! The chances of it getting an armor tank bonus is exactly zero, zilch, and nada! Those minmatar ships are also geared towards shield tanking by design. Of course I am not saying that armor tanking a minmatar capital is useless, just that shield tanking is what the devs have in mind.
look guy... no where did I say I wanted a tanking bonus. I said that shield bonus would suck... for the same reasons a 7.5% shield efficiency boost on a 6 slot Maelstrom will suck. Not to mention MINMATAR CAPITAL SHIPS ARMOR TANK EVEN WITH THE ONE WITH 5 LOW SLOTS. Its just more efficient
If all things stay the same bonus wise on the other carriers... the minmatar need a fighter combat bonus not a ship bonus to stay inline with the gallente carrier. It just has to be a bonus that has a visable diffence.

fighter tracking/level (arguable would become most versatile carrier) fighter dmg bonus (obvious - especially if they all just get racial ones in the end) fighter rof bonus 
make the 'gimp' bonus (support role bonus) become a ROLE bonus on the ship, and each race carrier get it standard support role bonus for free!  __ Weirda Join QOTSA Now Stealth Bomber Tweaks |

are you on drugs or sumthing?
what the **** makes you think that the minmatar carrier should have a boost bonus?
"Essentially a pared-down version of its big brother the Hel, the Nidhoggur nonetheless displays the same austerity of vision evident in its sibling. Quite purposefully created for nothing less than all-out warfare, and quite comfortable with that fact, the Nidhoggur will no doubt find itself a mainstay on many a battlefield. "
all out warfair + the minmatr combat style points to a combat bonus, not a bloody tanking bonus

Yup I must be on some awesome drugs because the other 2 carriers have tanking boni, the only tanking bonus found on minmatar ships is the 7.5% shield bonus, and ship descriptions dont mean jack shhhhh!!!
edit: thanatos description " Sensing the need for a more moderately-priced version of the Nyx, Federation Navy authorities commissioned the design of the Thanatos. Designed to act primarily as a fighter carrier for small- to mid-scale engagements, its significant defensive capabilities and specially-fitted fighter bays make it ideal for its intended purpose. "

Amarr and Caldari carriers rightly have tanking bonuses because their races focus more on tank than offensive firepower. Gal carrier gets the drone damage bonus because they're the drone specialists. Minmatar should get something fitting with their race. Speed, ROF, and tracking all come to mind.
BTW: you quoted the description of the 1 carrier that doesn't have a tanking bonus.

How about give every carrier a dmg bonus to fighters/drones, minmatar a shield boost bonus and gallente an armor rep bonus.

Edited by: Rehmes on 30/09/2006 05:16:48 I know people will hate me for suggesting this but how about these changes were dont to all carriers.
Amarr's new bonus: increase armor of fighters Caldari's new bonus: increase shield of fighters Gallente's new bonus: increase figher dmg (no durability) Minmatar"s new bonus: increase fighter speed
That way all of the bonuses go into the fighters and each ship gives the fighters a disticnt advantage. At the same time you can make these bonuses affect gang ships drones/fighters. For example a domi ganged w a Thanatos would get an extra dmg bonus. If 2 carriers r ganged they affect the other's bonuses too, making things more interesting.
The way i see it is that carriers r meant to have the gang bonuses which they do, and also provide aid to the fighetrs, i dont think its fair only the gallente get the fighter bonus. This way each race can give something different into the mix.

You know its quite easy to tell which of us are genuinely trying to come up with ideas to fix the problem and which of us are just mad because our ship isn't the best one out of the 4. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

and its easy to tell which of us hasn't got a clue about fighters, making fighters faster will make them orbit fast and so will miss more, tracking bonus is sooooo much better

were is the love
There is an orbit speed and then there is a regular and mwd speed. fighters shouldn't be able to hit frigs, or ships smaller then what they are supposed to hit, it would not balance anything. Sorry but you are still wrong, and you are obviously not looking at the problem objectively, because all you can do is shoot down every single idea except the one that you want. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

MWD speed, not orbit speed. Duh!
There are some problems with Fighters that a Carrier pilot faces: 1. They are so expensive that they are viable targets even if you don't get killmails. 2. They are so slow on approach that they do not quite make it in time all the time. 3. Honestly, they don't do THAT great damage.
With this in mind, the proposal to the boosts to fighters on all races ships instead of boosting the Carrier itself is a good one. I'd give them a 10% hit points boost on the Caldari and Amarr carriers, though, just for the record.
However, there still needs to be an insentive to get the damned oversized pigs into combat as well. For this reason they all also need a bonus to survivability. - Three years old |

I really like the idea of giving racial fighter damage bonuses! Then on top of that if they want to give each carrier a regular racial bonus, that would be great too. Especially if its a defensive one like the amarr and caldari already have! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

As a mimatar pilot, and a relatively new one, I personally like the tracking bonus for fighters.
To be truthful i think the tracking on projectiles in general could use a bit of love. I love the whole idea of move quick and strike hard, but the faster i move the worse my weapons do (kinda BS).

Yeah, tracking bonus sounds nice, it would mean pwning cruisers faster and eventually worrying frigs/inties.
The bonus should be balanced to avoid nid' fighters wtfpwning everything small around them.
Mobility bonuses sound nice ... until you think about them a bit:
jumprange makes sense as long as you move alone, but if you fly with other carriers, or worse, dread, it becomes pointless.
Fuel consumption would be better than the current bonus, but not that much!
Gang bonuses make no sense, their already have the ability to mount a gang module, we don't need more.
fighter speed ... if only they keep the same orbit speed, but this would still be a minor bonus. ___________________________________________

Originally by: Succoros Ithildin's idea of reduced cap use for capital reps/shield boosters was pretty nice tbh.
ye that could melt into the same theme as the others getting something tanking related. exept the thanatos
FFS can we please use this. Most of the Nidhoggur bonus suggestions that I've read are either useless or overpowered. (IMO, the OP's proposal fits into the "overpowered" category.)
