welsh wizard 0utbreak	Posted - 2007.01.30 16:46:00 - [1] Edited by: welsh wizard on 30/01/2007 16:47:48 Along with the "give the mofo/titan a high warp strength" idea the only other useful suggestion so far. I like this one in particular because it means to kill the expensive ship you have to put your own expensive ships on the line. This could be used in conjunction with the high warp strength idea, ie,, you need 3 or 4 capital ships to hold the super-capital down. Would fit into the roleplay aswell. Thoughts? edit: Apologies if this has already been raised, I wasn't aware of it.
Helen STK Scientific	Posted - 2007.01.30 16:47:00 - [2] Interesting but ultimately whats to stop the titan/mothership warping out when they see capitals warp in?
Ateneiha Amarr Sharks With Frickin' Laser Beams Mercenary Coalition	Posted - 2007.01.30 16:48:00 - [3] Yup please, allready proposed, u wanna kill a mom?, bring yours and lets die.

Well the secret to that has eluded all tacklers since Eve began hasn't it? I guess the answer to your question is that cunning and strategic play are required.
Christopher Dalran	Posted - 2007.01.30 16:49:00 - [5] Originally by: Helen Interesting but ultimately whats to stop the titan/mothership warping out when they see capitals warp in? And what do they accomplish if they Flee? I'm assuming they had a goal if they brought a titan to the area and they probably cant achieve that running with their tails between their legs.

Phish1 Liberty Forces Ratel Alliance	Posted - 2007.01.30 16:52:00 - [7] and how long does ti take for a capital to align... oh thats right, bloody ages theres no problem here, allready you can bump them with BS and its fine, also a dictor will hold them, the big issue is killing their cap so they cant jump,. and 10 BS with 8 neuts in high will take even the most skilled pilot under the jump cap limit. so, all in all there is no problem here.

Outbreak beg to differ.
LUKEC Destructive Influence Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.01.30 17:03:00 - [9] I like idea in general. Especially since bubbles don't work on "pre-warped" ship(and low sec) and bumping is ... petitionable as harrassment(try bumping freighters in empire :P ). I don't think it will help catching one, though. -------- .....
Derovius Vaden	Posted - 2007.01.30 17:05:00 - [10] As far as I'm concerned, only thing that should be able to generate a field strong enough to tackle a capital ship should be a ship of equal or greater class. Consider the "Fat Kid" arguement, you have 2 100-lb kids all jump on a 300-lb fat kid, and tell them to tackle him to the ground. He'll just plow through them like no ones business. The engines on a capital ship are the size of non-capital ships, how the heck to you expect to overpower them?

Noriath	Posted - 2007.01.30 17:10:00 - [11] There is a caital scrambler, it's called a shuttle.
Helen STK Scientific	Posted - 2007.01.30 17:46:00 - [12] No shuttle stops me warping. Helen pats the officer smartbombs.
Khavi Vetali Team Americas Anarchy Empire	Posted - 2007.01.30 18:16:00 - [13] I read the op title, and immediately in my head I envisioned threads entitled "[REV] Tackling Moros" and somesuch...heh... Originally by: Itanis "Hello there mate, I'm dreadfully sorry, but I'm going to have to sodomize you with howitzers. Have a lovely day!"
Sokratesz Guardians of Hell's Gate Tactical Narcotics Team	Posted - 2007.01.30 18:25:00 - [14] Smartbombs make quick work of any small ships or bubbles that may prevent the mom / titan from warping. I as well would like to see cap ships given a specific warp strength, how about 3 for dread, 5 for carrier, 10 for mothership and 20 for titan.. Then give us a capital warp scrambler..strength 5 pts, 50 CPU, 100k grid, 50 cap/5secs, 50km range Basilisk Fitting Link
welsh wizard 0utbreak	Posted - 2007.01.30 19:48:00 - [15] Exactly the sort of thing I was thinking of. Those numbers seem reasonable to me also.
Malthros Zenobia Caldari Independent Navy Reserve	Posted - 2007.01.30 23:11:00 - [16] If they let bubbles work in lowsec, and fix the bug with anchored/dictor bubbles, then these wouldn't be needed... Originally by: kieron The Carrier was never intended to be a solo OMGWTF mission-farming PWNmobile.

Bumping a mothership or titan with a BS hardly does anything due to the huge mass. 2. Dictor bubbles won't hold them, because titans/ms tend to fit smartbombs which wtfbbq those bubbles. 3. You can neut them under the cap limit, but they can still warp away, and if they have a cloak fitted, they'll just cloak until they can jump.

Bal' Hed Caldari Brotherhood of Wolves Astral Wolves	Posted - 2007.01.30 23:29:00 - [18] With the amount of time and iskies that goes into acquiring a MS or titan, why would you want them if they weren't immune to such tactics? A fleet should have no problem driving off a mothership or titan if it is poorly supported. Who would invest in one if u could scramble it with a ship that costs a frction of the price? If it took 3-4 dreads to scram it, it would still be a retarded gamble, and fairly useless for attacking any alliance with a dread fleet. as it stands, motherships and titans are plenty vulnerable, if you've got the strength to combat one. If you don't, and your enemy has such ships, you might think about revising your standings, and put your diplos to work, cuz you're gonna get plowed. Originally by: MrTripps How about Forum Drones? After you get popped they automatically log onto the forums and write a post demanding a nerf to whatever popped you.

You can scramble a tech II Rokh with a civilian fitted ibis. Relative cost should not even be an issue.

You speak of course from your rich experience interacting with titans? ---- Originally by: Nikolai Nuvolari NO WORDS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARE SPELLED WITH THE NUMBER "8" IN THEM GODDAMNIT!

You speak of course from your rich experience interacting with titans? He has a point, given the time required to down a super-capital and the amount of bumping you need to do it is ultimately going to end in failure. I'm not sure whether anyone else has made a serious attempt on a mothership but this corp has. I'm sure the Establishment pilot could fill you in.
D'onryu Shoqui Vengeance of the Fallen Curse Alliance	Posted - 2007.01.31 01:51:00 - [22] there is already an ingame mechanism for dealing with capital ships warp engines. you simply self destruct a pod within 0metres of the capital you then sit pointing and laughing as the crazy cap ship pilot wonders why hbe can not go more than 6m/s some people wont figure it out some people will have been stuck on corpses trying to undock and end there lifes after they realise they died to being stuck on a corpse ------------------------------ My opinions are my own and not that of the alliance i belong to.

Valea Silpha Death Monkey's With Knives Freelancer Alliance	Posted - 2007.01.31 06:07:00 - [24] I'm definitely of the opinion that motehrships and titans should be stoppable... Its s lil insane that even when confronted with hundreds of enemy pilots they can just warp off. Then again i think jumping should have a much bigger cooldown on it, similar to the doomsday devices... just to make them a group thing that gets screwed when caught off guard. <Hammerhead> TomB is doing the nerfing <Hammerhead> I just stand behind him, look at his monitor and shake my head
