Edited by: Kaian Voskhod on 23/06/2007 00:48:10 Put some tracking on NOS 
Then heavy nos won't be able to suck up assault ships (for example) capacitor in a row.

Edited by: Militis Kolosok on 23/06/2007 00:53:14 That may be a good idea up until the point where interceptors and other fast ships would be overpowered... cruise at a high speed within nos range but outside weber range and nothing can hurt them.

i say make it all 20km range (25 for T2) and give it all a stacking panalty, but give mediums and smalls a progressiveley lesser penalty and give small nos a little boost in energy amount, that way it'll be less of a iwin vs. small ships but still powerfull.
Whatever happens the domi should get a bonus for it.  -

there have been enough boosts to small ships so larger ships cannot touch them, the only remaining usefull tool vs smaller ships should not be nerfed just so a few whiners can solo larger ships with more ease than usual.

Nos has been made to be what it is, if you get a little mad and wanna complain because somebody with a competant mind says "hey! those damn inty's are bugging the hell out of me, i know, ill nos them" and ends up blowing you up and since the game has turned in somebody else's favor, you come on here and try to ***** about how it should be nerfed because you wanna always have the edge, well eve does not work like that, adapt dammit, make a strategy, beat the nos, dont get CCP to do it for you, use your damn brain, and if you are going to complain. DON'T DO IT HERE, you are distrupting MY thoughts and wasting my time, GOT IT!
Stop with all the nerf talk, CCP will do what they believe should be done. the only thing that should be nerfed are what you can talk about on the forums.

True, tbh Nos really doesent bother me, everyone fits it, everyone uses cap boosters, sometimes you lose to it, sometimes you win with it.
Thing is though you, me and everyone else *knows* it is going to be nurfed at some point, its just a question of how.
I'd prefere it if it was "nurfed" in such a way as to make it more ballanced, not useless, case in point: ECM on anything that doesent get bonues for it. -

Make Nos Amarr only.
They're the cap race, other races can use neutralizers, and it addresses the 2 biggest whines, nerf nos and boost Amarr.

Nope there is a thing that can hurt Interceptors: other interceptors! (+ drones and some other stuff) And well, that not for my self benefit: all "i win" buttons are gameplay waster. Thats for the game benefit.

Lets cover the weapon and defensive systems that give you something for nothing:
Passive Shield Tanking: Get tank with no cap cost NOS: Get energy and inflict damage to your enemies energy for free
CCP just nerfed Passive Shield tanking (SPR CPU + BC recharge rate nerfs), because people were getting too good at it and all the Armor tankers whined enough.
Now look at NOS. No other weapon system in Eve provides a massive offensive advantage (destroy your opponents cap), a massive defensive advantage (you create energy for use in defense), all while costing nothing...it doesn't cost you any starting cap so you can still NOS while cap dry (e.g. Medium Nosfertu I will still pull 30cap/6 seconds regardless of your cap state), it doesn't use ammo, its only cost are moderate fitting costs.
On top of this NOS does not suffer from tracking, sig radius, or velocity penalties like all other offensive weapons and yes its an offensive weapon as it is used to neutralize an opponents defenses primarily..
So if this isn't overpowered I don't know what is?
The three most decent ideas I've heard for bringing it inline have been: 1) Sig radius penalty (to remove it from an I-win button for BS's against everything smaller) 2) Give it an activation cost. e.g. Medium NOS has a 20 cap cost for transfering 50 cap from the target 3) Increase its fittings so that it is not feasible to fit full racks of NOS (this would be inline with the SPR nerf CCP implemented against the passive tanking)

So what if it is overpowered. It is a module available to everyone it basic skills. Must everything be "balanced"?
EvE should have some "quirks" to make things interesting and nerfing modules is not always the answer.
Nos has been in Eve fior a long time and is one of the few modules left that has not been nerfed. When you joined the game the nos was there, so please play the game the way you met it rather than have it changed to suit you.

I think making sig radius effect the amount of cap a NOS can suck up is the best idea i have heard. I like NOS but they are kinda overpowered.

Well extending that thought, but too complicated for the likes of Eve, but a fun little thought what about NOS creating Cap Boosters for use with your modules.
Small => cycles and every 4 cycles spits out a cap 100 Medium => cycles and every 4 cycles spits out a cap 200 Large => cycles and every 6 cycles spits out a cap 800
caps go into you cargo hold and if you notice this makes nos drain more energy but inconveniences you =p. More an idea for creativity's sake.
But yes, back to the sig radius nos change. It doesn't nerf nos at all, and only makes the sizes scale like other weapons *gasp*. Probably the easiest to implement and balance as well.

And yes things should be balanced, that's why CCP has a team focused just on that. If thing's shouldn't be balanced then why the recent Passive Tank nerfs? If you can't kill Drakes, then fly them according to your logic, but that didn't happen, maybe you can provide a reason why?

How about, instead of tracking, nos has an adjusting focal range, so that if a hostile ship were to stay at the same range, the nos would have full effect, but if their range was changing, they could avoid most or all of the nos effect.
If a ship was fitted with nothing but nos, it could be largely evaded by constantly changing range, but if the ship has both nos and turrets, hostile pilots would have to juggle transversal and (delta)range.
This could suggest the addition of a new maneuver control, Variable Orbit, which would maneuver to adjust a ship's range to a target in tandem with maneuvering it to revolve around the target.
It would seem to be an easy way to make PVP battles more complex and interesting, and keep nos powerful but more challenging to use.

i will to any time take a cruiser on, even without nos/web or any ew. the cruiser is F****** doomed against bc/bs with a good pilot.
so i don't see the problem, it will just be a way to make sure that its not just "bigger the better, i win bottom".
its just silly that web/nos/scram etc is just a "can't miss always works max etc"

It's simple. People either want a thing to change or not.
If they want it changed, they think it's valid. 'cause it's their issue. UIf they don't want it changed,t hey call the others whiners. While at the same time they complain about another issue(like being an-amarr boost and pro-drone love)
There no more "whining", percentually then there were before, just more people. Also the anti-"whiners" are in the same club, mostly more annoying then those with concerns.
Especially the "You can always leave EVE!" brigade. Hmpf. PoppyCoC!

i just think its sad that this game have become the exploit heaven. multiple nos is more like a exploit then anything, like pos bowling, speed typhoon etc. its stupid people misusing mechanics and its THOSE peoples fauls that nerf are needed to make rules so they dont f up, just because they can. without idiots you wouldnt need mechanics to block them

yes i do use nos but many other things aswell and i could do the same thing you guys do when there is something that beats me but i dont like come on here and propose nerfing it. let me have a try at this.
hrmmhrmm
"amarr weapons are way too overpowered, drop down the damage modifier, my thorax can't tank them" "missiles are way too good, not only are they super powerful and always hit, they dont use up any cap letting the ship tanks longer or be impervious to nos" "PvP should not be allowed in carriers, i lost my BS the other day to a thanatos and i wanna be the best so don't let anyone better then me in low sec (i have read this one for real)" "NERF EVERYTHING!" "im amarr and we are the only ones that should use nos cause i don't wanna lose my ship because i don't like a fair fight"
everytime someone puts together a really good strategy to win, those who suffer from it complain and complain and complain about how those people are too overpowered(they don't wanna say they don't have the brain capacity to think of a plan themselves) and say how it should be nerfed.
don't like it, DON'T USE IT!!!!

NOS needs a little tweaking.
However, most of the suggestions I've seen on how to do it involve tweaking it with a baseball bat.
I do kinda like the Amarr-only one... What? No, my support has absolutely nothing to do with my small fleet of gold chrome-laden ships. These aren't the droids you're looking for.

Nos uses alot of powergrid and a high slot, it is in essence a weapon.
I dont see why it needs to be nerfed, its just a slower way of killing some ships and a faster way of killing others which sounds good to me id rather have a means to counter 1000+ dps tanking ship that doesnt involve mustering a small gang without nos things would be alot worse.
I think its about right currently and cap injectors are pretty effective. My guess is peoples obsession with 1v1 nos scenarios with drone ships. Everything has a counter though and by nerfing nos you would be nerfing one of the counters to other things also.

Leave Nos alone, there is nothing wrong with it.
Get creative instead of asking for a nerf.
Nos giving you problems?
Use some damps, or ecm, or a cap injector, or Nos of your own, or stay out of range, or work as a team, or don't try to solo BS in a frigate... The options are limitless.

In my opinion, I think medium and large nos need a slight stacking penalty (when fitting more than 2). Are nos the same strength now as they were before the Hp buff? Because if they are, it seems like nos would get a buff from having longer fights.

Mindy:
Expressing that people on one side of a debate are "either ignorant or plain stupid" does not acheive anything if you do not provide any argument to support such a statement. At the very least, it will not endear you to anyone who previously posted in support of 'not nerfing'.
My personal feeling is that NOS is not a 'free ride' as such. It occupies hi-slots and consumes a fair bit of ship resources - CPU and grid. If you fit lots of NOS, you aren't fitting DPS dealing turrets and when faced with a cap boosting opponent who fits for 100% DPS, you can be in for a nasty surprise.
Furthermore, the relatively short range of NOS allows certain ships to more readily stay out of range of its effects. ECM ships, when successful in breaking your lock, are very effectively countering NOS and just about everything else you might be using....Yikes! Nerf ECM! 
If a nerf were deemed necessary, a simple way to go would be to raise the CPU requirement and make it impossible or rather costly (ie: extra processor) to fit all NOS in highs. |

What would work though would be a stacking penalty, much like shield and armour resistances. The efficacy of your nos could be reduced depending on the number you fit. Assuming a Dominix with T1 Heavy NOS fitted:
Originally by: 10% Stacking penalty on Heavy Nosferatu I efficacy 1: 100 Cap/cycle 2: 90 Cap/cycle 3: 81 Cap/cycle 4: 73 Cap/cycle 5: 66 Cap/cycle
As you can see, this would make multiple NOS worthwhile, but only to a point - forcing people to use neuts instead of vamps, just as was intended.
Assuming the same principle, an alternative would be to apply to stack-nerf to fitting instead. As above, we're looking at the Dominix and Heavy Vampires
Originally by: 10% Stacking penalty on Heavy Nosferatu I fitting requirements 1: 2000MW & 50Tf 2: 2200MW & 55Tf 3: 2420MW & 61Tf 4: 2662MW & 67Tf 5: 2928MW & 74Tf
In other words, either way a 10% stack nerf would solve the "problem" of pure NOS boats. The real question is: Is it a required nerf? Isn't it reasonable that the Dominix, a ship that uses it's drones for damage could be using as many nos as they like? -- Don't take the carebears out of empire - take the empire out of carebears! |

The problem with NOS, which i don't even see, is that it doesn't have a viable "anti-" tool like all other lovely things in EVE.
One of the key incredients in EVE is that everything has a tool(not the human kind) against it.
So, how about a NOS shielding device? Much like the warp core stabilizer? 
So yeah, i have a problem with being serious, but it's the almost smallest problem i have. |

I don't know why, but the only people comparing every "complaint" to WoW, are the only people doing so with false pretences.
WoW has actually nothing to do with nerfing things. Any more then any other MMO out there.
Especially since changing something like NOS would probably make it tougher and harder for people to survive in EVE. Well, the bigger ship flying people that is. In PVP, it's altogether.

Missed it a bit yes.
Well yes, cap boosters would be viable, although i think those won't solve the "frigates getting dried up by BS" thing.
The thing is, cap boosters arn't the real "anti-nos" tool, not really that is. It's kinda like the anti tool as...well...armor repairers are against guns?
Hard to explain. I think the problem with nos is that it's so easy on the ship. No punishment. Where as the cap boosters need the ammo to work.
Also nos is somewhat ridicilous since it makes the powerneuts really useless.
Though...have to look into this more, at the moment i'm just throwing ideas into the discussion as i don't mind if they change it or not.

Things arn't actually, but evidently for you, you're either against nerf or for nerf. I'm neither. Just tossing my two iskies into the pile, maybe give someone else an idea for a viable solution to their problem(a problem i don't have<--notice) and all in all, just contribute to a discussion with no ill intent or flamitory attitude to eachother.

Edited by: Emsee on 24/06/2007 20:27:35 Nerf the fitting requirements.
Battleships shouldn't be made even more gimped towards frigates, and heavy nos will still be way too effective against battleships if there was a sig radius nerf.

Well, fact stands strong, there is no way a frig should be beating a BS yes? nobody should be expecting a frig to stand up to one, heavy nos are for BS and they are not overpowered for their meaning, it is not anybodys fault that frigs are engaging BS exept the frigs.

Why nos won't be nerfed
nos is not used by one specific race mainly, it is meant to be used by anyone who likes it and it is. use is a very useful tool and it has it's counters. CCP does not believe it is overpowered. IT DOES WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO! if it dident no one would use it. nos IS the balance between big and little ships and nerfing it would unbalance this region of the game(those who are for nerfing it are in the ship region and those against it are in the nos region) and since this topic has equal sides it seems pretty balanced and CCP is not going tp pick sides on the matter. nerfing it would **** off half the poeple in eve(or more) and not nerfing it would not change anything in the game currently and EVE is great how it is (exept for my BIO and the lag lately, so fix that). nos will and should be left alone no matter what anyone thinks. thank you
