i think pretty much anyone who uses amarr ships would like too see this so called bonus removed and replaced with a useful bonus, no other race has a useless bonus like this , we have seen with other races removal of such bonuses and built into the hull instead, it also at T2 level leaves khanid ships gaining a bonus more and makes them more desirable too use aswell as their ships having the resists bonus.
- speed bonus on minnie hulls, stabber hull - dronebay bonuses on gal hulls (only ishkur left with it for now)
amarr ships with cap use bonuses on are -executioner - tracking -crusader - damage -tormentor - drone HP, add a drone -retribution - damage -coercer - damage -confessor - tracking -omen - optimal range -zealot - tracking -devoter - tracking -legion - remove on the liquid crystal sub and drone sub, damage bonus on covert sub. -harbinger - tracking -oracle - tracking -absolution - HP bonus -Armageddon Navy Issue - replace with armour HP bonus -redeemer - maybe optimal range or a damage bonus? -revelation - replace with armour HP bonus
Tech 3's need to be multi role ships not cruiser hulls with battleship tank and insane resists.
ABC's are clearly T2 in all but name.. remove drone assist mechanic.

Please, for the love of God CCP, get rid of this ancient, worthless bonus.
EDIT: not that I necessarily agree with all the bonuses you have listed, some might be too much. |

I think we could apply what CCP did with HICs to Amarr hulls with a laser cap usage bonus. Replace the 10% reduction to laser cap usage per level with a more useful bonus and add a role bonus of 40% reduction to laser cap usage. Folks with the appropriate skill at V would take a hit 10% hit to cap usage, but everyone else would be as well of as before and everyone would gain an actual bonus.
EDIT: For example, the Omen would go from
Amarr Cruiser bonuses (per skill level): 10% reduction in Medium Energy Turret activation cost 5% bonus to Medium Energy Turret rate of fire
to
Amarr Cruiser bounses (per skill level): 10% bonus to Medium Energy Turret optimal range (or tracking, damage, etc.) 5% bonus to Medium Energy Turret rate of fire
Role Bonus: 40% reduction in Medium Energy Turret activation cost
Thoughts?

i guess its an option , i did think about that but it seems a little odd as an role bonus on all laser ships and its not really a role. i would prefer either improving cap regen on the ship hulls that use them or maybe a mixture of that and reducing cap use on the weapons themselves.

The problem with adjusting the base cap stats on the hulls in question is that they would suddenly get more cap for everything, not just lasers. So they'd be better at neuting, active tanking, remote repping, MWD-ing, etc. when all they really needed was some love to their laser cap usage. I'm sure the balance implications of half of the Amarr lineup suddenly getting a large boost to their base cap stats is obvious.

if you're removing the bonus, you then need either to reduce laser cap use across the board (balance issues), or have a silly and out-of-place role bonus on a few select ships.......
keep talking, but I'm not seeing a reasonable solution atm......
one that has just occured to me is to up the cap capacity and cap recharge rate on these ships, so that the cap use bonus is not required.....
For posting an idea into F&I:
come up with idea, try and think how people could abuse this, try to fix your idea - loop the process until you can't see how it could be abused, then post to the forums to let us figure out how to abuse it.....
If your idea can be abused, it [u]WILL[/u] be.

Think outside the box. Unless you can guarantee that all of the extra cap only goes towards lasers, the hulls in question gain more ability to do other things longer. Imagine a neuting Harby with that much extra cap. Or a kiting Omen that can dictate range that much better by shutting down it's lasers for a few seconds.
See where I'm going with this?

Wouldn't mind so much if half of them didn't still need a cap booster. Or didn't suffer from **** tracking on top.
This bonus to free up a mid for ewar? Sure. Otherwise it's just needlessly gimping ships vs the competition.

Please don't take this as sarcasm. I'm asking sincerely. A role bonus is the only way I can think of to help alleviate this problem without creating other problems somewhere else, but there may be other solutions.

Sooooo what?
Stronger capacitor is perfectly fine if it is a ship bonus. The opportunity cost is less effective weapons, lower resists, or whatever else the bonus would be.
Why is a neut harbinger with 25% more cap regen going to break the game? All serious neut ships have cap boosters to begin with, without them they are pointless.
This is the best way to turn a garbage bonus into something reasonable without breaking the ships. Laser ships with optimal bonuses become powerful very quickly. |

I like having the capacitor cost reduction on Amarr ships. The ones that don't have it just need to have a strong enough base capacitor to run those lasers, and that means any capacitor you can save while not running them, or in finding alternate ways to reduce costs, will generate you a large marginal capacitor savings that can be used effectively for other things. The ships with the cost reduction as a skill bonus of course keep the strong capacitor, but no longer need it for the lasers. This means they are effectively capacitor-generating monsters. It also gives Amarr an advantage to the use of energy neutralizers.
I like to think of lasers as an "overpowered" weapon system that is inherently more costly to use, to make up for their superior damage/range/tracking ratio. Ships with the capacitor cost reduction skill bonus are basically treating lasers as a more normal turret, with normal costs as well as one less ship weapon skill boost which leaves them at normalized output as well.
If you remove the capacitor cost reduction skill bonus and roll it into the lasers themselves, then you must counter by reducing Amarr ships' capacitor generation into more normal levels. And that reduces racial flavor.

Cap management is a feature of Amarr ships, the penalty to oppose the benefit of immediate crystal switching, never having to reload and awesome dps.
There are crystals that reduce the cap load, but most people just ignore them choosing Multifreq or the T2 ammunition. The simple fact is that a ship bonus that reduces cap usage for lasers, effectively amounts to a DPS bonus because it allows you to fire Multifreq considerably longer, rather than say switch to Standard Crystals (45% reduced cap need).
Last summer I took part in a series of sub cap POS bashes. We used ABCs and in a fleet of 20 with 5 of them Oracles firing T1 MultiFreq, the 5 Oracles consistently ended up as the top 5 damage dealers, with none of them needing to call for cap or use cap boosters.
I've taken part in some deathstar POS bashes and in these cases (when dreads weren't an option) the preferred BS was an Abaddon. Now these did suffer cap problems. Guards or cap boosters was usually the solution, but another option could have been to simply drop the DPS, by switching to Standard crystals. However, to most people the thought of dropping DPS just to preserve cap is unthinkable. But that is how the system is designed to be and when you realize that, a bonus to laser cap usage does amount to a DPS boost.
I use the example of POS bashes as these require sustained DPS over a considerable time - the worst case scenario for a laser boat and yet Laser boats are still the preferred choice. In shorter engagements the benefits of lasers are even more pronounced.

I'm going to eat crow here for a moment and admit that, after seeing it explained like this, maybe the cap reduction bonus isn't broken like I had thought it was.
It's similar to how I like to point out that optimal range bonuses on Caldari railgun ships is actually a damage bonus because it lets you use antimatter ammo out to longer engagement ranges when other ships would have had to switch to less-damaging ammo.
Interesting....

Or how a tracking bonus on autocannons allows them to hit the target without switching to depleted uranium, or a rate of fire bonus on any weapon gives slightly more DPS than a damage increase while giving some sort of drawback to balance it out: lasers: more cap usage missiles/autocannons: more ammo usage hybrids: more cap and ammo usage artillery: less alpha strike

I hadn't considered the laser cap usage bonus a bonus to damage application until just now.

well the fact you can be neuted out fairly easily even with the cap bonus is a massive drawback already, but not being able too fire your guns for more than a few minutes at a time is quite absurd, lasers don't have the dps too compensate for even small periods of time not firing due too capping out. range isn't that much better than missiles for instance, instant ammo switching is nice but most crystals aren't worth using, after scorch the range, dps etc aren't good enough too justify the cap bonus. only way i think it can be justified is on something mobile (uses lots of cap) with a big ROF bonus not a piddly 5% ROF either

I don't really have too much difficulty making lasers cap stable by themselves without the cap cost bonus, but I remember when I did. Perhaps the system is poorly setup for new players, as capacitor skills make such a tremendous difference in capacitor recharge rate.
I think a good way to help mitigate this (and also ensure Amarr ships have a superior capacitor) is to boost their capacitor storage very significantly over other races' ships, without increasing their recharge rates from what they are now. This will have the advantages of making them more neut-resistant and will make newer pilots able to shoot longer, and the disadvantage of reducing how much capacitor recharge they get from capacitor batteries. I think that disadvantage is a pretty minor one, all things considered.

CCP even officially acknowledged that Laser Cap bonuses were a problem when looking at the Battleships with Tiericide. And removed it from nearly all of them, leaving 1 which specifically has zero cap issues firing guns at all. Yet they are perpetuating the already acknowledged bad design in the small & medium classes.

Also Amarr ships 'superior' capacitor is actually the weakest Capacitor once actually firing your weapon systems is taken into account. |

I would agree to a buff to Amarrian capacitor systems. Laser ships, as a design philosophy, should have uncommonly strong capacitors, even if it comes at the cost of something else. After all, Minmatar ships have smaller sig radius and higher velocity/agility at the expense of reduced hit points.

Problem is a cap buff large enough to use lasers without the cap regen bonus makes them truly insane next to anything else. So Lasers still need a significant cap reduction.
