I got no problems with a ship being this powerful, but at the end of the day, a Thanatos/Nyx or Archon/Aeon can't touch this, its not even close. ---------- "Whining gets you stuff, that is why humans got to the top of the food chain and all the other animals got nerfed." |

When I rebuild your setup for a Wyvern in EveFit I only 11668SP/10sec. and that with all skills Lvl5.
Do you apply maximum bonuses from other ships/leadership-skills/implants?

Don't know what the exact stacking penalty is but:
Base 7200 shield boost x 1.45 (Pith X-Type) = 10,440, x 1.45 = 15138 (its obviously less than this after you take into account the stacking penalty. I'm using EFT 2.4.1. ---------- "Whining gets you stuff, that is why humans got to the top of the food chain and all the other animals got nerfed." |

/me coughs... I'm sorry did you never notice that caldari carriers are meant to be the best at tanking?? Did you ever notice that their racial bonuses per level are to their shields? We dont complain that the nyx has that nice bamage bonus, or that crystals dont affect our caps unlike your slave sets...

Me silly... I mixed up the names of carrier and mothership. I meant the carrier. I have a discrepancy there between your numbers and mine, too.

Problem with fluxes is twofold:
1) the increase in cap/s isn't that much higher from PDU's 2) they totally destroy your buffer
I use cap power relays instead - they give a ton more cap, at the cost of a small boost penalty.

Yeah, in case NOBODY comes around with anything NOS/NEUT, you can perma-tank somewhere around 5-8k incoming DPS. So what ?

Not to burst your bubble, the tank really is amazing. 10k DPS with some mild faction gear, but the cap is very..'unstable'.. a single battleship loaded with heavy neuts will take you under your optimal recharge when your tank is running.

Your argument doesn't hold, Amarr ships get the armor resistance bonus, but still totally suck compared to the Caldari ships.

The Wyvern setup has plenty of extra cap, and still, an armor tanking capital setup would also be vulnerable to nos/neut. With the amount of cap left over after being nos/neuted, the shield tanking ships still have better cap per HP efficiency than the armor tanking ships. ---------- "Whining gets you stuff, that is why humans got to the top of the food chain and all the other animals got nerfed." |

Noone says you have to always run your shield booster permanently. Hey it's nice but it just doesn't work like that. You can turn it on and off when you need to and you still have a better tank than a similarly fitted armor tanking ship, if the armor tanking ship was also under fire from a nos/neut BS. ---------- "Whining gets you stuff, that is why humans got to the top of the food chain and all the other animals got nerfed." |

So, how come nobody's whining about the Amarr carrier/mothership then ? It has the same resist bonus, armor has better base resists to begin with, and it can (marginally) perma-run up to THREE cap reps, putting the peak tankable damage above that of a Caldari carrier/mothership.

Well on sub-capital ships "you" armortankers have the advantage of fitting ewar mods on capital s hips "we" have the advantage of a better tank.
Hmm let me think what shiptype was used again most of the time?

Howmuch experience do you have in one exactly? I'm pretty new with it but i guess its more than you.
In a large capfight, you want to permarun your tank, or at least half your tank if you've got dual armor reppers. Amarr Capitals have a few advantages over the caldari ones:
1) armor resist mods are way cheaper than comparable shield mods 2) there are various implants (akemon, heirloom, slave set) to drastically increase the armor HP, these dont exist for shield 3) the armor compensation skills actually do something useful for active tanks whereas the shield compensation skills are useless unless youre totally out of cap (no shieldtanking cap pilot will use only passive gear, since its just not on par with the active ones)

what? no. you're missing the point.
carriers don't exist in a vacuum* there are other factors (often in the form of other ships shooting you, sometimes not) that come into play. as virtually everybody else in the thread has already mentioned.
*well they clearly do, what with this being a space game and all, but i mean a metaphorical vacuum. [IMAGE REMOVED] |

It really doesn't seem to be much of a problem. In reality the armour tankers have it better because it's far more common to find remote armour repairers on carriers/motherships than remote shield repairers. That's far more important that the ships personal tank in real combat.

Lol Larno. Tell you what, ill attempt to go to your level of debating.
The Archon can tank just as good my Chimera, and you can fit sensor boosters. nerf?
Now...what do i win?

Their higher tanking level is the only real reason to fly the caldari carriers at all. Anyway, they get messed up very badly by neuts, so I don't really see a problem.

fit a sensor booster and a warp scram for killing carriers and run ur numbers again in EFT. EFT should be banned by noobs coz they have no idea about the game fullstop. fits some tackle to u chimera and a sensorbooster to lock anything b4 it warps off and ur tank diminishes remarkable.
Fit it to a thanatos or archon and nothing much changes other then a little cap recharge. also even tho EFT says ur cap stable u proberly arnt since a capital booster takes so much cap u can actually dip under ur optimum recharge rate and cap urself out. CPR's are usually a much better option especially the TS ones due to the lower booster reduction. Resulting in you abole to use shield transfer mods. a chimera isnt much good with alot of other carriers that have remote armor reps fitted either they kinda die first in that respect. -------------------------------------------------- It is not what u are underneath, but what you do that defines you |

There's a nerf for your setup, it's called Nos and Neuts.
Spider-tank with cpital cap and shield xfers, you won't need to worry about having your cap sustain itself, because you'll be sustained while sustaining others.
If you're going to play with EFT, I can setup an Aeon that tanks 12607 DPS, with 3.8million effective HP, and that is with no gang bonus and no implants:
Lows:
3x Shaqil's EANM 1x DCU II (there's a COSMOs one that is better iirc) 4x Capital Armor Repairer
Mids:
3x Chelm's Cap recharger 1x empty space for whatever you want
Highs:
6x whatever
Rigs:
2x CCC II 1x CCC I
91.7/86.5/84.4/83.3 resists
Capacitor:
-427.6 +449.5
343750 armor, this does not include Slave implants, or the 8% Akemon Armor hardwiring.
I'd say it's pretty comparable to your Wyvern, especially given the Insanely huge HP buffer the Aeon can have.

op confuses overpowered invulnerability hardeners with cap flux II and caldari carriers being overpowered. If you put two billion isk in faction mods and t2 rigs on a chimera it better tank well. Put 40 bil in kit an wyvern and you better be getting a tank like that.
putting equivalent kit on an archon or aeon gives a tank thats barely weaker than the caldari ships, leaves them with more cap, more usable midslots, and most importantly an armor tank for spider tanking.

Ur wyvern fitting uses uber modsin excess of 35 billion. and ur chimera fit costs more then ur ship. No matter how much u spend on tank if everyone is shooting at you in a carrier ur dead. much better to spend tht isk on another carrier which u can get back on the battlefield with.
Oh i nearly forgot runa remote capital rep with an archon and chimera with approiate faction fittings and the archon runs for 3 times as long and tankes the same sustainable amout of DPS. Shield is for burst taking armor is more for slug fests.
Type that again without so much 'u' and 'ur' and i might read it. My god what an awful bit of text.
