and no they aren't that broken, while more DPS is nice, supers die left and right in the big battle, the only reason why we have so many supers is because of the over production like any other ship or item in the game.
ive seen people complain about the outrageous amounts of ships they can build between them and their army of alts
EVE was never designed for capitals, the whole reason they die left and right in EVE is because they have been nerfed to the point where anything CAN kill them, killing them isnt some incredible feat, and the reason there are so many is because they were originally made to be rare powerhouses that cemented empires
capitals should just go, until a decade when EVE is at the point where ships themselves are dynamic enough that something thats as powerful as a capital is SUPPOSED to be, can be introduced without fear of mass production or total dominance. but lets face it, short of an alliance being required to foot a material AND isk maintenence bill for every ship they can field, theres no reason to NOT make masses of whatever is the strongest.
the problem with capitals can be traced abck to the fact EVE is a game about the individual, there is no literal such thing as corps, or alliances, or coalitions, everything in measured on the individual, and made to allow the individual to empower themselves, which means there is no scaling disadvantage to creating a massive sprawling empire bloated with insurmountable numbers, because it ISNT a bloated entity dragged down by its own logistics, its a collection of individuals all equally empowered and capable within the game mechanics, lending mechanics to enforce N+1 in EVERY regard, not just combat, because outside missions with a set pay, there is little (and often times LESS) wasted potential with a venture no matter how many you stack into it.
and on that basic prinicple of EVE's design, capitals are an impossible dream, no matter what form they are in, unless mechanics dictate they are powerless and only good with 1 or 2 of each type on field at once, they will always be mass produced until they receive another class wide nerf. and changing them to anything other than what they currently are in respect to roles will just make them even bigger cammand ships, making cammand ships no longer worth their price for function. |
