Quote:TLDR:
4 paint-¦rs -+n our tengu fleet f-ût... 550-850 sig depending on sig reduction bonuses.
4 p-¦inters on a maelstrom, 1780ish sig.
Titan gun sig 1000
Titan lock time on a tengu that's painted, 30-35 seconds
Titan lock time on a maelstrom thats painted 23-28 second lock time
Aeon or nyx + 4 painters and a Proteus bonus, 61km range + 90 falloff
Archon + 4 painters and a Proteus, 2 range rigs 80km range and 90km falloff
Lesson of this story, Bring -àuper CarriersGÇÜ hav-¦ them prel-+ck and pa-ûnt -¦bout 15-30 targets, shoot A-Z... Fit Titans with at lease 4 Tra-üking Computers....nothing changes
Add
Web artillery Loki's just for extra fluff as needed.
It's not:
the tracking, It's not the lock time, it's not the lock speed
It is:The capital remote repair range not being tied directly to triage
The Sig vs range ******** formula not working in any sensible manner
The insane resistances
Jump Portaling w/o the titan commiting to that same jump after the minute timer
In addition, how I would fix supers in the short term:Reduce their capacitor capacity to about half of what it currently is and double the capacitor recharge rate. This forces supers to rely on support from carriers/logistics much more heavily and slows down everything they can do including movement.
Makes Supers much more susceptible to neutralizers forcing them to choose between higher resistances or resistances based on passive modules which lowers the overall hp and resist levels, while making them neutralizer resistant.
This also removes 2 of the more effective titan platforms from dominance and provides more of a role to the Leviathan and Rag simply b/c their weapons can always fire no matter what.
this also removes the ability of supers to provide infinite remote repair support in large numbers simply because they can't keep their capacitor up to the level needed w/o cap modules fit... which removes utility or tank slots. Also provides more incentive for Super Carriers to fit Drone Control Units over repairers turning them into more of a damage platform than a support platform.
1 simple fix that achieves about 5000% more effectiveness than your turret tracking/lock time nerf ever could imagine with very easy changes.... sets up the "future changes you mentioned.
