Been playing in Nullsec for about 4 years now, there are some good ideas in this thread for sure!
Q. Should you be able to have nullified combat ships? Why, or why not?
A. T3C and Ceptors are the only ones. Short answer to this is: yes! But I am totally for decreasing the DPS on Interceptors so that large Ceptor fleets loose some appeal as a fleet fight tool. T3C also could have an increased penalty, if you use the subsystem you loose half your EHP. That seems all fair to me, Slippery Pete's don't need EHP anyway. Make it all more dangerous, but without taking the Inty away as a safe sightseeing and clonemoving ship. I have only lost 1 Inty to smarties. If the yacht would not exist I would be very very against taking away the Inty as the only safe travel ship for Nullsec!
Q. How about non-combat ships? Shuttles? Blockade runners? Yachts?
A. Shuttles, no need to make them ignore bubbles, they are cheap and quite safe without instalockers or bubbles present. Take another ship if thats not good enough for you. Don't change Yachts as they need to stay the way they are if Inties ever loose their bubble immunity, I mean we need to have some way of making a safe-ish trip to the Eve gate!
Blockade runners could get a increased cargo maybe, but definitely not bubble immunity. They rely on cloak and agility, bubbles make them have some sort of danger.
DST could be made bubble immune imo, especially if they are to become too slow to do MWD Cloak trick (not sure if currently possible) So they would then have their tank as a defense and could warp if not tackled fast enough. Maybe we could have even a new type of cargo ship that is bubble immune but only has a good local tank and cyno etc as its defense and leave current DST unchanged?
Q. Should anchorable bubbles exist? Should they decay if they exist?
A. Has been said plenty of times. Killmails. I am not against decay, but maybe not needed. I still remember the disappointment as I killed my first solo bubble and expected a killmail. Not instead of killing them I just make bookmarks to go around them. |
