being immune to all forms of EW comes at a cost, get over it 
Thats the crux of the situation, that tag is no longer valid, they are now susceptible to "some" kinds of EW. so, therefore, a MoM is now nothing more than a more expensive carrier. They are listed on the market, so they were intended to be in the stations at some point. The only real bonuses to MoM's are more fighters (ehhem, easily destroyed targets), a Clone vat.
This person gets it. MS is for logistics.
EWAR immunity doesn't come up as often as you'd think in modern fleet warfare. Nowadays you warp in, launch fighters into blank space, and then start refreshing killboards to see if you've died.

Good idea on outpost upgrade. I think sovereignty four should have a lot more benefits. Like multiple outpost in a systems, or faster rat spawns, or improved ores, or lower sec status (say lower system status by -0.15) etc.
If ccp wants us to occupy 0.0 densely, we need to have all the benefits of empire and additional benefits.

Give them a boarding password, so you can eject from one at a POS and not have to worry about someone stealing it... they should at least be parkable. Even my car has keys...
Yes.
How about making all ships anchorable like a secure container? The next step in ship security. I'd buy it!

Docking = Insurance
And I'll bet that CCP doesn't want to see people insuring their motherships (or titans).

Oh boys u fight a battle u cant win....
MS would never be able to dock, because so u need an another account, or at least a pilot to be able to hold that ship, and so u pay more....
I have to agree with this. Is there any single account players out there in the game at all?? Most likely once in a mom, they are not single account players for long... |

i think this guy has a point.
look the ms or titan cost allot but who cares its game isk. still you dont want to lose it. but it has needs, for instance you can not leave it somewhere becouse when you leave your ms at a pos it will eventualy get stolen or shot.
if you want to fuel or fitt it you need a hauler to suply you the mods and fuel.
next to that most players leave there char. in the ms or titan becouse its basicly safer.
its totaly ******** when you look at it the moment you get a ms or titan you also need to buy a second account.

I dont fly mother ships but I have friends that do and I sympathise with them because they have to sit in 1 ship till it dies. If allowing MS to dock makes them too flexible perhaps a docked mothership apears outside a station and can be targeted like the services but has the 99% hull resistance like services. So it would be possable to put the MS at a major disadvantage having to repair all that armour and shield but at least allows them to do other stuff.
I think I will get flamed for this idea :( |

It's not too bad idea. And it is more complex than You can think about.
There must be one intermediate "docking" stage. At which You can access personal and corp hangars, fitting service, but nothing more.
Docking to the station in small ships, You proceeding directly to the inner hangars with full service. Undocking from the station, You became "semi-docked" first, beeing actually in space, operating with overview, but still have level of defence that station gives to all ships and services. Not invulnerability, but defence. You can proceed further to undock or to go back in station if You have decided to do so.
For bigger ships, only such semi-docking possible. So to be able to use any services, You must slot in into station and then leave Your ship and proceed to full dock in capsule. Your lovely behemoth will be held on the external docking ramp, awaiting Your orders.

i think the idea is to make cap ships less attractive, which is good, cause im sick of caps everywhere, hell make all cap ships undockable for that matter

I actually like the idea of limited MS docking points at outposts via upgrades. Allowing a single MS to dock at a station wouldn't exactly be an overpowered thing. But I imagine something like that would likely need a station upgrade to do so, and aren't they like 10's of billions? At that point you can pay for 10 years worth of GTC for multiple MS alts...

I tend to like the set a docking password option honestly. Nothing else is needing to change.
Though bringing in a new outpost which is a MEGA-outpost which is soooo big it allows supercaps to be dock.

My understanding is that one of the reasons they werent able to dock was because of their near invulnerability when they first came out.
The size issue cant be a valid argument for them not being able to dock because if a MS is parked next to a carrier or dread they are physically nearly the same size. That is what I have an issue with...Id rather have the physical size of the ship on par with its 'super capital' status than it being able to dock. Yes, its purely a compensation issue. Inability to dock is just one cost to pay for having a ship with the abilities a MS has.
