After receiving some mental help from my friends and reading through this thread i'm now ready to provide a more detailed feedback.
1. This is a huge kick in a sensitive area for all miners. Assuming Rorq will be unable to move while Industrial Core is active it makes 3bn ship just a sitting duck with a very marginal profit. Having atleast as many boosting ships and toons as the number of belts your community wants to mine doesn't help either.
2. Home defence in 0.0. Usually attacking fleets are larger than defending due the schedule on one side and lack of there of on another. This change will degrade that part of the game.
3. FW. It is as it is, who's got the bigger numbers wins, pretty much the same goes for larger fleet fights. Those communities will be able to spare someone to this new role.
4. Incursions. In some cases this change can even help by increasing EHP of each fleet member, though on a larger scale this is a decrease in fleet DPS.
5. War-dec. As it is there might be an issue with neutral alts boosting fleets. This needs to be looked at.
Overrall i think there are some massive issues with the whole idea.
A. Too small base area of effect, especially for mining and cap fleet engagements.
B. Another case of taking away something that ship already had and offering it as a module. Yes, i'm talking about titans.
C. Not refunding SP after taking away passive skill bonus seems wrong. Although in 6 years i had so much of that on all my toons i could probably make another supercap pilot out of that ammount of SP. I'm well over my rage on that point.
D. People owning boosting toons usually don't just go AFK. They have stuff to do, forcing more activity on them will result in abandoning one thing or another. My guess is that they'll abandon more boring thing to do and "smatbombing" fleet members once in a minute or two is an obvious choice.
I agree, existing system is not great, but there are player communities build upon it. Ruining them somehow seems not a good idea.
On the last note, i want to mention all that "cry me a river" motive in this thread. From my gaming experience that aproach to other people's feelings and thoughts leads only to one thing: your dreams will also get wrecked someday and what you'll get is the same "i love your tears". |
