Wanted to give some quick opinions and feedback on FAX but there is no thread i can find for them, so I thought I would post it in here.

I didnt want to give my opinions on them until I had a chance to play about with them on sisi and try to fit some out. There are a few things which are glaringly obvious and probably need to be looked at.

First, the fitting requirements on all FAX, but especially the caldari one, are incredibly tight. For instance, you can fit an absolute maximum of 8 capital mods on the ninazu. This might sound like a lot, but consider that at least 3, most likely 4 of those are taken up by triage mods and remote reps. This leaves 4 capital mods to play with. IF you want to fit a plate, a capital cap booster, and a rep on your ninazu, thats it, you pretty much cannot fit anything else.

This limits the variation and effectiveness of all FAX significantly. I think the powergrid and CPU requirements need careful looking at for all FAX, in order to make sure that they can be fit.

Second, and somehting which is more pressing is using capital cap boosters in any number, especially as a primary source of capacitor. It is completely impractical to use capital cap boosters as they currently are. You simply do not have enough cargo and fleet hangar space to use them reliably. You end up running out very quickly, and then you are screwed. I suggest incresing the fuel bay of the fax machines, and then allowing us to fit capacitor charges in th fuel bay. The reason the fuel bay and not the fleet hangar is because if you were to increase the fleet hangar size, it might unbalance them compared to other capitals, and putting them in the fleet hangar means every time you empty your cargohold, you have to go back to your fleet hangar and drag them over. Massive pain in the butt trust me. Putting thm in the fuel bay would both eliminate having to move charges over the the cargohold (which is tiny and can hardly hold any charges anyway) and allow us to use these charges more practically if you were to increase the fuel bay's size to accomodate them.
