Naro Takatsu	Posted - 2006.11.22 23:54:00 - [6] Very wrong question, shows where you coming from: "What can be done to Give amarr a boost over the other races?" To give Amarr boost "over" other races - means you want them to be better than others. You should ask: What should be done to improve the ballance of Amarr?. Answer: I dont know, I shield tank. But I am sure Tux will come up with something, likehis latest blog appears do go in the right direction.

But I am sure Tux will come up with something, likehis latest blog appears do go in the right direction. Lets nitpic the wording and ignore the issue. I agree that the Amarr need something to set them apart. Lasers have been nerfed so much and so often that they are pretty much the least used weapons in the game. My suggestion would be to lower the cap use of lasers to be equal to hybrids. Get rid of the the cap use bonus. Increase the grid of Amarr ships and increase the gird requirements of lasers. This is to do what is currently done with cap use, to make Amarr ships about the only ones that can use lasers. note: I do think every race should fit a full set of thier best (not counting Tachs) T1 weapons without needing a fitting mod. Tachs and T2s should require fitting mods on T1 ships IMHO. Dont fix the damage. But change the bonues. Give them either optimal range or damage for the first bonus. For the second bonus give them armor resists. This makes Amarr the race that does not do the greatest damage, but they are tough to kill. That goes with the back story. svetlana - "whining gets you stuff. that is why humans got to the top of the food chain and all the other animals got nerfed."

Sir Drake	Posted - 2006.11.23 01:53:00 - [11] How about leaking laser damage through the shield (independet from shield resistence)? That would be a really nice boost to amarr without increasing DPS/HP or anything else. Just let 2-10% of the laser dmg leak through shields, that would counter the passiv shield recharge (compared to no recharge on armor) a bit and give amarr a special flavour. Or just give the dmg-leaking to tachyons (they are "special" weapons anyway) while adding tachyon puls for short range and some small/medium versions. ------------------------------------------------------- If you are either ignorant or american: Latin nominativ singular male: bonus nominativ plural male: boni [url="h

Yep, we have the worst damage type in the game as our primary. Oh god we're so nber we deserve a nerf if anything. Try finding a thread with me comparing Amarr BSs to everything else.

Kesslan Osefice Panther's Paw Industries Ltd	Posted - 2006.11.23 05:32:00 - [15] Originally by: Miri Tirzan Lasers have been nerfed so much and so often that they are pretty much the least used weapons in the game. If this is the case, why is it like half the pirates I run into in lowsec have T2 lasers? I've run into people using them almost as often as people use hybrids. Maybe it's just because of the area I operate in but I'd hardly call the useage of lasers rare myself. Yay we finally have a forum: http://pantherspaw.freehostia.com/

Passive Armor Regeneration Thermal Crystal Options Smartbomb Bonuses (Not realy) Turret Disruption Changed to "Weapon System Disruption" (including Missles and Drones) Just a few ideas

Thermal Damage would restore Amarrian ability to be competitive in PVP with most of their ships, or better yet the reduction of Omni Tank power. Leave Thermal to Gallente. Last Weeks Signature

He's making a point that boosting Amarr against shields is the stupidist possible idea to balance them ever Between corps atm, the NPC one is strictly a temporary thing.

Kojiami Dark Empire Fleet Axiom Empire	Posted - 2006.11.23 07:48:00 - [20] Give us diffrent laser sets that do therm and explosive. Lasers shouldn't be able to make kinetic, but when the heat of a laser collides with metal, the metal vapourizes and twists so fast it looks like an explosion... It's awesome being amarr, ISN'T IT?

Lygos ISS Navy Task Force	Posted - 2006.11.23 08:45:00 - [21] For Battleships, making Warp Disruption range exceed Nosferatu range will solve most problems. MWD will remain a huge tradeoff on Geddons. Lasers actually work pretty well on all lighter chassis. I see no real problems with lasers in combat above 22km, and below range of T2 arties and rails. In effect, what's weak is combat between 22<->200km globally. Although I'm not a fan of T2 ammo in general, what I think might work best for countering is AoE EW that works better at extreme range than it does at close range. Or perhaps some kind of Mid-Range ammunition that rolls an light EW effect with normal damage. Lasers are the kings of mid-range damage, while most other platforms are weak except at extremes. Preferably it should be available to T1 turret users. --- Private Investment should preceed Public Investment
Litus Arowar Amarr Obsidian Asylum Pure.	Posted - 2006.11.23 09:40:00 - [22] some cool ideas here why not give amarr ships a bonus to nosferatu? it seems to work for the curse, it'd give a way to balance the intense cap usage of lasers, and it could be placed only on select ships that'd have to trade damage for nos... just a thought, not a fully thought out thought at that (oh yeaah, dig the phonetics) Albert Anastacia> Like they say, adapt or die. I adapted and now I get to Iwinbutton all over everyones face.
Grimpak Gallente Celestial Horizon Corp.

I WANT MY FAVORITE RACE Z TO HAVE LOTS OF DPS TOO!" comments.) deepening the 4 races' current concepts could pretty much solve many problems, while it's true that it might create others. however it is also true that while small changes here and there are good, since they can be more controlled, atm what EVE needs is revolution (big changes in small amount of time), not evolution (steady stream of small changes). ------- Originally by: Tiuwaz for caldari perception weapons that hit up to 100km are short range weapons
Forsch Auctoritan Syndicate Curatores Veritatis Alliance	Posted - 2006.11.23 09:52:00 - [24] I think it makes no sense argueing about that now. Nothing will be done before Kali anyway and Tux hinted he got some plans after Kali. The devs have probably alot to do right now. So don't waste your energy. Keep your ideas and maybe a month after Kali we can bring them all together and try to find a good solution. Yes, I still have hope. Forsch Defender of the empire Can't wait for the oomph!

Keep your ideas and maybe a month after Kali we can bring them all together and try to find a good solution. Yes, I still have hope. I don't expect my idea to be implemented, simply because I believe the devs are too scared to revolutionize EVE in such a small amount of time. EVEN if they decided to go ahead with such idea, I would take that it would take no less than 6 months in the concept/dev team, and 1-2 months in SiSi for testing, due to the extreme complexity of such idea. Still, I believe that a complete overhaul of the racial concepts is needed. ------- Originally by: Tiuwaz for caldari perception weapons that hit up to 100km are short range weapons
Akita T Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2006.11.23 12:20:00 - [26] A FEW things you could do to improve Amarr a bit indirectly, but also (indirectly) improve others as well (I guess you'd call that "balancing"). POSSIBLE THING #1 Switch thermal and EM damage amounts on all laser crystals That would make lasers (finally and/or again) a weapon system worth using in spite of the heavy cap drain. POSSIBLE THING #2 Change tackling gear to highslot modules The primary benefit would be that tackling-equipped ships would deal (overall) less damage, but any ship could tackle if they wanted to (think of it as a "well, I might fit a scram+web instead of dual nos" scenario). The secondary benefit would be a "revival" of shieldtanking PvP setups (wow, a Caldari pilot could then both tank AND tackle, nerf Caldari !!11oneone), so EM damage would be (ever so slightly) more useful. Any of the above, both of them, heck, I don't care. Just do it already _____ -sig- This is my only char. These are my skills Always question everything, including yourself

Just do it already Amarr are supposed to be inflexible bastards. would prefer much more making their ships better freakin' fleet juggernauts and better big golden metal hulks rigged with armor and turrets till their teeth, while being totally inflexible, which is what Amarr are supposed to be: medium to long range fleetships with supreme firepower and armor. ------- Originally by: Tiuwaz for caldari perception weapons that hit up to 100km are short range weapons
Wild Rho Amarr Black Omega Security	Posted - 2006.11.23 13:23:00 - [28] Edited by: Wild Rho on 23/11/2006 13:24:02 Honestly I'd like to see Amarr being given a natural mosnter cap size or recharge rate so we can dump the energy turret cap reduction ship bonus. With that out of the way the bonus can be changed to a damage related bonus or a tanking one for each line of Amarr ships. Tanking bonus for the Punisher -> Maller -> Proph -> Apoc line. Damage bonus for the ??? -> Omen -> New BC -> Geddon line. Amarr ships being unflexible and one trick ponies is fine by me personally, it's part of the Amarrian philosiphy "If brute force doesn't work, you aren't using enough". I'd just like to see Amarr ships actually being noticably effective in this area. Either that or give them some sort of resiliance to NOS or a bonus to NOS effectiveness. I have the body of a supermodel. I just can't remember where I left it.
