At fan fest some dev mention a preference to have command ship command bonus requiring ships to be on grid.
My question are:
With this not remove the Planet Hugging/Safe Spot hiding/POS staging Command ship or t3 cruiser which may have lesser of a tank?
Will this not remove the role of the Combat Scanner Role in mega fleet fight that is to find out the location of these Ships?
Will not change the Role of Command Bonus for Mining. Placing the Rorqual at the belt in Industrial mode? There for removing the need for a hauler at a belt. Due to the selection of ore coming out of the belts, the Rorqual has a hard time compressing ore unless it is at a POS with access to a corp hanger.
I am concerned about forcing a certain type play style over another.
May I recommend a compromise:
Tech I Command modules can be off grid but Tech II Command Modules provide their Bonuses while on grid.
I agree with several people: CCP needs to focus most of eve's recources on FIS, but the development of WIS still needs to continue, just as a slower and more efficient pace.
In eve I wish to be more than just a machine. |

Command ships and T3 Cruisers are not the only ships to be talking about
Battle Cruisers
Orca
Rorqual
Carriers
Super Carriers
Titans
Some ships have bonus but others don't. Some ships like the Rorqual should not be on grid as it has to be in In Industrial Mode (5 minute cycles) at the belt is Scary as Crap, and null sec is not a nice place to leave capital ship stuck in seige mode at a belt with out substantial support! Unlike a dread a Rorqual needs to be out there for the full 3 hours to get the task done for a mining op, where a dreadnaught it out in a spot for a fraction of the time to kill what it needs and adding more combat dreads to the targets speeds up the process.
And a person has a tough time compressing with out access to storage unit to pick up and compress and deposit from.
Oh! and trying to get Tactical support for a mining op is hopeless. The rats don't spawn enough to keep any PVE player occupied and they begin to get board and either leave or start shooting the miners.
If this proposal goes though the Rorqual boosting needs a SERIOUS re design.
I would recommend a 25% flat cut from the Module effecting those off the grid.
This game needs to be more than just Group weapons Primary f1!
Does now one know how to scan down a ship anymore?
At least with Battle Cruisers you can hide the booster with in the fleet of Battle cruisers. The orca simply warps off the field with the miners if trouble shows up.
Carriers - just hide in the blob of carriers when repairing
Super Carriers, and Titan well we see how they work and they will have a sub cap fleet to support them since they are all on the same PVP or Structure Goal!

A Silly Idea .... to help destroy Rorquals
Turn it into the new Capital Command ship.
Allow it to have its amazing bonus +50% while in industrial mode (Rorquals Siege Mode) for any Command link
Will only work on grid and out outside a POS.
Though It is a ships that can be remote repaired and Jammed while in industrial mode.
Due to its having the weakest tank when looking at Capitals than can use modules it would be the first ship to go down each battle, especially it is only s shield tank ship.

Listening to the alliance tournament pre-shows the new POS's will be dock able and not a bubble you sit in. So boosting from the safety of a POS will soon come to an end.
But the POS will be able to be scalable so with the ability to include plenty of guns
So next year I can see a Titan jumping in killing the Rorqual and then warping off and cloaking
then some Titan Pilot using the next store buying little Crossed off Rorquals on his ship.
Some day I will have the internet and be able to play again. |

The removal of Off grid boosting is removing " a play style" a play style that does have a counter - Scan down its But and shoot it.
The only hault to the counter is POS shields with the Brainstorm of No Shields to boost from with the new POS system, this should eliminate this barrier. On the other hand the boosting ship will be guarded by Guns if there was enough time to set up such a POS.
Removing off grid boosting period... would be dumbing down the game eliminating the possiblities of warfare, no need for scan boats, and its is just a slug fest in 1 location.
With off grid boosters a smaller fleet at least has 1 scanable target to go after with out having to face the blob at the gate if they can get free. (unless he is in a POS)
Some day I will have the internet and be able to play again. |

on grid boosters remind me of the old way of warfare with muskets. wihere everyone formed up in lines fired and then walk 2 paces and fire again.
then when the British had to fight Americans they they had to deal with Morons who would use cover and keep shooting their officers.
when removing the Off grid boosters all together it sounds like dumbing down the game to chivarly standards of the old British Musketiers
. With the POS Fix coming out in the future and the POS shields disappearing. The Boosting from a POS game breaking feature will be removed.
Many many more rorquals will end up dieing for it.
