As stated from CCP Fozzie here they will no longer be able to deal damage and are changing their role to a "fleet bonus platform" like command ships

Sounds like a Mickey Mouse role to me. I think CCP need to consider future roles of supers more carefully.
Delayed local in null sec, now there's a topic. While I'm not entirely against it, I can see a glaring issue - null sec allows force projection (hot dropping), while wormholes do not. This, coupled with the issue that wormholes are more profitable and don't require sov defence will make null sec a far less attractive proposition for living. The issue of force projection (including black ops - really, why would you do this - will another gameplay option be destroyed??) will need to be dealt with before a mechanic like delayed local in null sec will be successful.
People will say "have PvP'ers on hand" but we all know that doesn't work against blops strikes which usually annihilate the target before anyone can respond. |

It's going to be funny to see what happens with the massive arsenals of the soon pointless weapons that everyone has been hording for the past 4 years.
Maybe some will be put in a museum somewhere and others will be stolen and sold on the black market to arm local warlords and religious fanatics for generations to come.
Oh wait, wrong game =x |

Heh heh, typical, literally just as I was writing what is wrong with Supercaps in another thread
It's not the damage, Titans can't track ****, and Doomsdays are a much needed threat for other capitals. Likewise, Fighters and Fighterbombers can be defanged quickly and efficiently by practically anyone, and they are ****-poor at damaging anything smaller than a Drake anyway (believe me, I've seen 50 Supercarriers launch fighters at a Tengu fleet, and seen them immediately returned as the fighters popped left and right for no damage in return).
Its remote repair. Remote repair scales too well in to Capital size, rendering Supercarriers and Titans invulnerable to everything but Doomsdays (B-R was just a battle of Doomsday salvoes). Changing Supers into boost-ships doesn't really change anything, as they will still be invulnerable (and granted, if both are de-armed, they wont be able to do anything while trapped stupidly in bubbles, but they wont be dying either, so its no less a stalemate than it is today). |

I kind of imagine a titan should be more like the Death Star except not as round (Lucas will be sending lawyers if they did make round titans).

The problem for me has always been an image/dream/reality thing. As an outsider starting the game the idea of Titans as giant grid-dominating death machines was awesome "hell yeah, I want to be there in a massive swarm clawing one of these monsters down", to me they were the ideal space-dragon.
Then I actually got to face the things, and found them to be nigh-invulnerable smug-machines, that didn't even really fight in an interesting way. They just kinda sat there, didn't flinch at anything you could throw at them, and didn't really decimate anything at any speed. They just kinda bored you in to submission.
I can see how we got here - we all want space-Dragons, be it to strive to claim our own, or go out in the wilderness and hunt and kill ourselves one (lets be fair, that first titan killmail is so thrilling it takes an effort of will not to frame it!). Just the mechanics don't fulfill that dream. |

I'd argue that remote repair is overpowered at all levels in this game. The days when people would just slug it out on a grid till someone won are gone. Now people just wait till they no longer have enough logi to hold the field and peace the hell out till a reinforcement logi fleet can be built. |

Interesting thought though, whats going to happen to Fighter Bombers? Moved to being usable by Carriers (and maybe Carriers might have drones removed in return, now thats a thought)? Deleted outright (Fight Bomber 5 is a loooot of sp to reinburse)? Changed into something else (what non-combat things are available? Make them ECM or logistics drones? Give them entosis links?)?
And what happens to the Revenant, and more interestingly, if the Revenant and Shadow gets changed so its no longer "combat" is this an Incursion nerf? (Heh heh, but no-one thought of that ) |

Supercaps discussion - CCP: Its a problem for herp derps that cant afford one.
Basicly no small, insignificant, alliance can get enough of them to be relevant. What can we do ...
So Fozzie thougt and thought and thought some more. And figured it out !
Supercap pilot - 40+ Bil on average. Mothership 20 Bil + 10+ bil fits Titan - 100 Bil + 10+ bil fits Years of training Cant dock
We shall make them... Wait for it... Wait for it...
USELESS !
They will become large command ships of pointless and useless. Im sure veterans will see the humor in that.
Then Fozzie hit another line out of six and went off to fight bulls in Spain. |

Gotta agree with this. I can see the reasons behind the design decision, but a capital ship not dealing damage is super silly imo. (pun intended).
Just make them more about damage + perhaps the on grid bonus to subcaps than about surviving.
Make it so they can be remote repped, but remote repping etc. shouldn't repair faster than direct active damage.
Make 50 battleships be able to take down one capital with remote rep support. |

Subcaps being able to kill supers is the direct opposite what the average null-person wants apparently. After buying a super+toon for 30bil, you're kind of entitled to a godmode.

One does not spend 16-85 billion on a booster ship. Thats what command ships are for, thats what their roles are. Super cap's are meant for fighting super caps and assaulting pos towers. Thats what their role is.
More importantly why would anyone fly a cap after that?

// cap pilot since 08. Stop messing with my carrier. same reason they are changing nullsec to a king of the hill minigame, they want the old players gone to make room for all the WoW kiddies now that so many have complained aboutt heir latest expansion and left
not to mention they came out with their "levers and dials" spiel shortly after the "i quit" and disillusionment threads reached their peak for elite dangerous, and everyone's love of Frontier was stemming from their "no dynamic content, all things happening will be curated by Devs personally for your entertainment, unless your toof ar away from our dart-baord choices, then **** you"
honestly, im putting EVE on ice until I see some kind of coherent, meaningful, and constructive content from CCP, because all phase 2 is seems to be change for the sake of change and nerfing anything that alot of people use
hell, they nerfed mothers/titans because "waaah, too many people had them", so what happens when everyone is rolling again in balls of battleships using sheer numbers to make up for tracking issues on anything smaller than themselves?
oh wait they cant because nothing but interceptors and recons will be able to participate in SOV minigames, but those are cruisers/frigs, so its totally okay if thats all anyone fields
and of course lets shard out null into 4 servers anyways, since timezone mechanics means obviously CCP doesnt want euros playing with americans, or americans playing with aussies, or anyone playing with russians. |

And you just think you can simply remove it. Why not be smart about it for once, and make certain nullsec systems immune to capitals being built or brought in so the little guys actually can take sov, while the bigger guys roll around in supercapital orgys |

And you just think you can simply remove it. Why not be smart about it for once, and make certain nullsec systems immune to capitals being built or brought in so the little guys actually can take sov, while the bigger guys roll around in supercapital orgys So wormholes huh

So let me get this straight, you would screw over the modern null sec coalitions. Force them into small pockets or not even holding sov at all. Sell the supers and camp high sec with the thousands of people currently living in null. But at least low sec will be happy. Good Job CCP.

my thoughts on capital class of ships is that CCP have realised there are way to many of them and so they have to curtail their activities. They wont remove them and reimburse people with skill points so they are slowly painting Capital ships into a corner and making them obsolete.
Titans are basically glorified bridging ships, Carriers with their up and coming fighter assist nerf renders them to the ratting roll as large capital fleets are being boxed out of the SOV warfare and dreads are still useful in the sense of POS bashing and the occasional localised hot drop. The dreads with the new module would still see active service as they have the ability to self-rep during this new form of SOV warfare which would leave them isolated during attacks on SOV structures.
With the potential rise of Elite-Dangerous offering a true sandbox experience i feel that the older players, myself included would move to a less controlled environment, rather than catering for the xbox bunnies. |

Delayed local in null sec, now there's a topic. While I'm not entirely against it, I can see a glaring issue - null sec allows force projection (hot dropping), while wormholes do not. This, coupled with the issue that wormholes are more profitable and don't require sov defence will make null sec a far less attractive proposition for living. The issue of force projection (including black ops - really, why would you do this - will another gameplay option be destroyed??) will need to be dealt with before a mechanic like delayed local in null sec will be successful.
People will say "have PvP'ers on hand" but we all know that doesn't work against blops strikes which usually annihilate the target before anyone can respond.
Sounds to me like Fozzie understands how bad supercapitals are in general. Bad as in bad concept. afaic, they could be reprocessed and the mineral balance handed out to the owner and the entire game would be better for it.
ofc, we all know that won't happen. So they will get a court jester's place in capital ship combat. "Look at me! I'm relevant!"

You know if you are going to nerf them like that........ Then why dont you make it so smaller ships can dock with them. you know a carrier can hold like 5-10 pilots in small ships? Make them moveable stations with guns!

I'm one of those 'lurker' playtypes. my account has been active now for quite a few years and I keep training and training. I own an Orca, Rorqual, Obelisk, Anshar, thanatos and Moros...
I'd always been tempted, if to come back for anything, to grab myself a Nyx and fly around in what I considered to be pure space-sex, it's remained one of my favourite looking ships in the game since they were introduced.
I've dabbled in pretty much every 'career' in eve, hi-sec carebearness, low-sec livin' and also lived in pretty much every single null region there is at one point or another for various different alliances...
I hate the previous capital changes (I love the impact they had, the change in capital warfare was fantastic, but I think there's a handful of ways it could have been done much differently, maintaining the awesomeness of the ships whilst having the same end result).
I hate these changes anymore, if I was ever tempted to come back and continue in null again, the combination of 'don't bother getting a Nyx' and delayed local pretty much make it a moot point and I can't see myself returning to notable activity with both of those introduced. |

Well he wouldn't really be AFK at that point would he.
If anything he would just be unable to confirm precisely how many people are actually doing stuff and what kind of stuff they are doing.
More to the point if local gets delayed would that justify removing pilots-in-space/pilots-currently-docked from map statistics? Because if we're going to go one step towards removing free intel we might as well remove the other.

I think the main problem is really that devs are not allowed to own supers as far as i am aware on their player accounts. So you have a bunch of people who dont fly, or own the ships in a real setting balancing them. Its like having my local hairdresser repairing my car.
It leads to uneducated decisions and biased opinions from the balancers, which is not what you want from a balancing team...Supers are a completely different aspect of the game, and i feel there is no one in a position that should be allowed to balance them from the dev team until they are allowed to own and fly them on their player accounts, There is only so much one can gain from looking at graphs. |

So what do we have so far in this new game they call EVE-ONGRIND.
No winter megawar, gj onthe jump fatique. My first winter in years that I am actually bored to death. Supers.......well lets not mention those. GL pilots who have trained there ballz off and grinded like a mtf, gl taking it up the ass....dry Sov, going to be more a a pain. Titan's where killed a long time ago so aint gonna mention them.
Wonder how long it's going to take CCP before they actually start doing things to the game that will "improve" the game instead off twisting it's neck off even further. I feel bad for all the oldtimers in this game, after years and years off sticking to the program. We are all getting a major **** in our asses.
But maybe thats just me and i am beeing really negative.

It was explictly stated that the dmg role will be removed and noone, as mentioned before, flies a SC because it can give boosts. SC/capital warefare is like a compleatly different game compared to small gang and F1 monkey cruiser fleets. To commit such a huge amount of ISK against the odds requires skill and strategies for every eventuality.

Dear CCP:
Thanks for making the "end game" in this game worthless. Something that takes years and years to train for and tens of billions of isk to obtain and fit is going to be made into a "niche" ship that is rarely taken out and has no offensive means to defend itself.
And don't tell me a 14x skill and tens of billions of isk is not end game, because it is. Stop seeing these ships as the problem, when it is YOUR LACK OF IMAGINATION THAT IS THE PROBLEM. I don't play the game to have an Ishtar as my ultimate goal; I play the game to have the sickest and most powerful ship to be in with the most to lose if I die. And if I die, I'll will lose tens of billions of isk in the hull alone and billions in implants.

Those were nerf, not boosts... I can't even begin to imagine how it would boost them... I'v been around since 2004, and i'v seen how CCP rolls. I also don't remember saying i would quit... actually i have never said that, ever, on any of my toons. Sometimes i take a break, but i don't 'quit'.
Now, tell me something: If you spent +1 year on a few toons to train for supers, you worked hard in-game to get the isk to have them build and properly fitted... and then... they have a huge nerf/role change/etc (and this keeps happening over the course of years), and suddenly what you like to do in the game, isn't a possibility anymore (so you once again adapt). I would think you wouldn't like it, especially when it's getting worst and worst.
I still see clueless noobs saying how super's are so super and OP... Yeah ok... Clearly they haven't played this game long and never flown one. Also, when ever CCP say's "lots of those supers are too powerful" it makes me cringe because they treat us like idiots. Lots of ANYTHING is too powerfull... 100 BS... 100 interceptor... 100 ishtar... all of those are MUCH more powerful than a few of them... Strength in number...

Hey, this is not a bad thing. I'm piling all me values and assets into a few supers, logging them off and unsubbing them in some backwater system, keeping only one of my seven accounts active in an Ishtar and spending the savings on hookers and blow.
If you ask me, that is a win win situation. Less time spent in a game, less TiDi and lot more fun out of game ;) |

What ccp is doing is wrong headed (proving they don't know much about their players, especially in null), but it's not the end of the world. They've done these kinds of 'tone deaf' things before (not talking about super caps, we don't know what they will do yet, I mean the general direciton of the game) and CCP is the kind of company that needs to hit near-rock bottom before they level out and start doing things right again.
It took monocle gate/Incarna to get ccp on the right track with the game the last time, but that was years ago and anyone who is an adult with a job knows that 'institutional memory' doesn't actually exist lol. Eventually, the folly of CCPs choices will catch up with them, their will again be a period of much soul searching (ie layoffs while the big wigs cover ass) and EVE Online will temporarily be set on a good track again... until the next time.
TL;DR, CCP are really cylons (the hot babe kind, not the toaster kind), this has happened before, and it WILL happen again. |

Defacto not only the super accounts, but their support accounts as well. Imagine a supercarrier or titan like an Abrams tank. To keep a single Abrams operational and ready for battle it requires some ~50 people supporting. Obviously not as extreme for a lousy digital supercapital, but the concept is the same. You won't have a need for logistics toons to provide fuel/stront/etc, no more cyno alts, no more scouts, no more wormhole/ratting/incursion/mission -alts to make isk for those big babies and their blingy modules (eh, how much would you want to bling up your Ishtar anyway)
You may see a chain reaction... if it was up to me, I'd rather give supers a new and strategically important purpose, much like every other ship has one. Let them excel in their field just as other category ships do.
Anyway, I'm not too worried about it, nerf or buff either way - it may be a sign from Bob that it's time to spend the next decade doing something else :D |

I have to admit I've conspicuously never seen calls for the death of supers coming from NCdot players.
Although on the other hand I do still think they're a detriment to the game in their current incarnation: speaking of which what happens to fighter bombers now?

No winter megawar, gj onthe jump fatique. My first winter in years that I am actually bored to death. Supers.......well lets not mention those. GL pilots who have trained there ballz off and grinded like a mtf, gl taking it up the ass....dry Sov, going to be more a a pain. Titan's where killed a long time ago so aint gonna mention them. Oh yeah......I forgot the fights that do occur.....40 jumps to the fight and 40 back.......really really awesome and not a complete wast off time and fun at all.
Wonder how long it's going to take CCP before they actually start doing things to the game that will "improve" the game instead off twisting it's neck off even further. I feel bad for all the oldtimers in this game, after years and years off sticking to the program. We are all getting a major **** in our asses.
But maybe thats just me and i am beeing really negative.
BR marked the end of "REAL WARS", N3, Goons, PL won eve and decided to largely avoid each other and mess with everyone else. This lead to null becoming a "blue donut" with people crying to the devs to give them something to do.
Supers/Titans were the biggest factor in stagnation, as a newer entity could not exist in null with out the permission of the big two for fears of getting run over by supers. CCP saw that the bastardization of null needed to end |

Defacto not only the super accounts, but their support accounts as well. Imagine a supercarrier or titan like an Abrams tank. To keep a single Abrams operational and ready for battle it requires some ~50 people supporting. Obviously not as extreme for a lousy digital supercapital, but the concept is the same. You won't have a need for logistics toons to provide fuel/stront/etc, no more cyno alts, no more scouts, no more wormhole/ratting/incursion/mission -alts to make isk for those big babies and their blingy modules (eh, how much would you want to bling up your Ishtar anyway) You may see a chain reaction... if it was up to me, I'd rather give supers a new and strategically important purpose, much like every other ship has one. Let them excel in their field just as other category ships do. Anyway, I'm not too worried about it, nerf or buff either way - it may be a sign from Bob that it's time to spend the next decade doing something else :D
LOL non-super pilots are gonna unsub too because supers got nerfed
Look N3/goons/etc just leave your space after Sov 2.0, theres plenty of former sov holders, bitter enemies, and adventurers just waiting for the chance to get their piece of the null pie. |

Life imitates art:
Supers and Titans were designed during a previous incarnation of CCP. I find it hard to believe things would have turned out any other way. As we have seen in real life with only 2 real military powers existing we also see in EVE the eventual emergence of 2 significant powers.
Yes, 2013/14 the large blocs 'won eve' and this much was admitted by greyscale during the o7 show.
Personally I think nothing will really change. Maybe everything will change but fundamentally no it wont. There are no Josep Tito's left in EVE. There is an indoctrinated theory amongst 3rd parties that you are either one side, the other, or irrelevant. I rejoined CFC after 2 years of being out of it and suddenly *I am a traitor* to the whole game and get scorned by people and kicked from public channels. It would almost be funny if it wasn't so sad. It shows a massive disconnect between reality and ideology to treat the situation and changes of circumstances like this.

This is good new for all the noobs and those who cannot fly them! However, EVE to me and many others has been about trying to obtain the best, the rare, ..... so now what? What is there? What happens when all the "new players" want something big and shiny to fly? SOL?? CCP, I have played since 2004, I have been ok with almost every change until recently. You are pushing out the old players, and odds are, they account for most of your income. This is the only change in which I am giving serious thoughts to quitting EVE, not a break, like I have taken a few times, but quitting. I have loved EVE for over 10 years! It has been an awesome game! I understand the need for change, but this is not just change, I hope ccp can see that. That said, I'll try it, hell I haven't used my super in almost a year.... wont miss it. But I think this will be a bad choice by CCP, IMO its first BIG one. |

It's not just that - they fail to create any scenario that would be compelling enough for current rental alliances and combat groups to cecede(?) From their coalitions in order to hold their own slice of pie.

I don't often speak up in defense of topics out of my area of playstyle, but turning super carriers into toothless stat-sticks isn't the way to go.
Sitting here on my armchair developer throne, I'd rather see supers become a multi-pilot ship with offensive capabilities tied to other friendly pilots being "docked" inside the super manning glorified POS guns or commanding drone flights, totally independent of the "captain" flying it.
Can you multibox it? Yes. But it's no more abusable than multi-boxing anything else in the game.

I think they should be more closely aligned with RL carriers. If you look at a US Navy carrier or supercarrier, it is a mobile base that can transport about 200 fighter craft anywhere in the world.
An EVE Online supercarrier should have an super-sized fleet hanger (FLEET HANGER DUH) kinda like a bowhead that you could fit 250 fitted and rigged ships into.
These mobile platforms would go into battle escorted by a fleet, these fleet members could then reship off the supercarrier (once) as they die in battle. |

You know, I actually feel bad for the pilots that trained for supers.
Yes, I have been the person in the camp of "nerf the supers!". Not as something I've started threads over, but something I've generally agreed with when other people talked about it. But, it was always just a fun rallying cry like a high school pep rally. Never had I imagined anything like this.
Super pilots do have my sympathies. No sarcasm there. Having the rug pulled out from under you in such a dramatic fashion is just, well, disheartening.
But I also can see it might be better for the larger game. People have already pointed it out, so I don't really think I need to go over it again. But CCP long ago painted themselves into a corner by putting in this massive apex ships/force multipliers without having a good way of fitting them into the existing meta (way back when they were first introduced). They made them too powerful, no amount of ISK or train time really stopped anyone from acquiring them, especially in large numbers, then it became a clusterfluke.
This is what happens when you introduce content without a good long-term plan for it fitting into the game. It became the elephant in the room in this game for far too long, then people invested heavily in them, and then you're at a point where you're upsetting people no matter what you do. This move is probably healthier for the long-term interests of the game, but the people in those ships have every right to be upset. I know I've been mildly upset every time I trained into something and it got nerfed (I had a really bad run of luck for a while).
Morale of the story is: have a plan for your content and make damned sure it fits in the game. If not, adjust it quickly and sooner rather than later.

Your statement seems at odds with the facts. "What facts?", you ask. Well, I'll give you the one metric I use on a daily basis. The Character Bazaar.
I'm seeing a lot of WTBs for Carrier pilots right now. So while some angry ragequitters may be unsubbing their Carrier accts, there's a line up of new accts waiting to jump in and buy these characters.
Net result on subscription numbers? No change.
EVE, as usual, is not actually dying at all.

When I got my Nyx, I bought it because I wanted a SUPER CARRIER, not a 30 bil links ship. Having a character locked into a coffin that cant do anything other than sit on grid and provide boosts is completely uninteresting and lame. Is that even worth paying a subscription fee for? Not in my eyes..... It goes like this, lets say I bought a sports car. The reason for buying it is because I wanted something that is fast, and is fun to drive. Now lets say the very next day that awesome sports car gets turned into a pickup truck. What am I supposed to do with a pickup truck? Thats not what I wanted when I first bought it.... Same goes for buying the Nyx. |
