Originally by: Amarria Lightwielder I like my curse :) that said I condone the idea of making large nos less effective vs smaller ships. Something that might work is a signature radius formula, so the nos "hits" smaller targets less. So a heavy nos would perhaps have 10% effectivness on a ceptor but 100% on a battleship, basicly what that other guy said :p
Such changes will make larger ships even worse to use unless you carry a manditory support fleet.
I'm all for people noting being a jack of all trades, but I'm not for a Battleship having no defense other than drones when a frigate attacks them.

I haven't read the topic, but why not something like this:
Change NOS so that it doesn't steal x amount of cap every x seconds, but instead decreases the opponents cap regen by x% , while increasing yours by x%.
Something like that would never cause cap regen to go negative - so it is like a large stacking penalty.
Of course, a problem would be how to make different size NOS work. A small nos would want to have a smaller effect on a larger ship, but that is not taken into account with pure % numbers.
Whatever, just get rid of NOS. I think they cause more problems than what is offset by what they add to combat.

Realized Shim on the first page said the same thing I just did.
Anyways: The main solutions I have heard:
Stacking penalties in some form: a decent solution, but there are alot of situations you have to account for: such as large nos on small ships. Even the best stacking ideas are complex and have holes.
Cap batteries make a portion non-NOSable: dealing with the symptoms, not be problem. It just means everyone would fit cap batteries *and* Nos. Fittings get more predictable and standardized, not less.
Seriously, How is NOS making combat better? Even if it weren't broken, it would only add a minor depth addition to combat by making CAP resource management less predictable. The amount of change need to get it to work would make it way too complex for such a minor combat addition. Just lose NOS.
