You guys should really look into the remote ecm burst. In its current form, it is not that useful. You break someone's lock, but they can instantly relock. Would be nice if the mod works like a jammer and prevents other ships from being able to lock for a set amount of time.

agreed, make it grid wide and make it jam for a set time.

Yes the ECM burst really does need tweaked. Maybe a 15 second jammer or so cause the current one is less than a second and isn't useful at all. As far as the docking goes i don't think they should be allowed to dock in empire space but that there should be a system/ outpost upgrade in 0.0 that alliances can use to allow them to dock, that way it isn't an over powered system and alliances have to work at it to allow it to be done. In terms of the models though most Super carriers are only marginally bigger than a freighter so with that said you may want to increase there beam size and then adjust there size in game, on that note the hyperion looks bigger or the same size as most carriers... may wanna look into that as well.

First of all, I agree with the model size increase. The info on a Nyx says that it is 55 million cubic meters in size, while a Moros is roughly 22 million cubic meters in size, but the Moros is too big to be anywhere near under half the size of a Nyx.
Secondly: Stop whining about being able to dock. A pilot set password should be implemented for SMA's however, since capitals are not the only things that get stolen from POS hangars, and the implementation of this would remove the stress of going to a POS to get your RR BS out only to find it has been stolen, or in the case of the capital and super-cap pilots, your precious big shiny ships would be safe from all but yourself and those you trust with the password.
Third: from what I can tell, FB's do fine DPS, but a size increase to the fighter/bomber bay would be a good addition which would allow the smarter players to actually create a good working set up which would still be a pain to swap, but that is the luxury of a super-cap
Fourth: A super-cap specific repper, or a bonus to rep speed/amount should be added as well as it does take too long to rep these ships, I could understand a 15 minute rep time, but 40-50? A modest increase here would make the majority of us happy, and those of us that are still unhappy should suck it up, or just not fly an SC.
Finally: I feel that that despite what the trolls think, the slight price reduction combined with the increased DPS is enough for most alliances to build more of these, period. Forget no Sov 4. I think most people commenting on that don't live in null sec or haven't lived in null sec very long. All of these are wonderful additions to this class of ships, and I feel that with the small tweaks myself and others have suggested, they will easily become more widely used, and possibly become a staple of large capital fleets, which is, I am sure, the intended goal for the SC's anyways.
PS-> If you don't know anything about these ships, or are just whining: SHUT UP and leave this thread alone. Leave the posting to people who know what they are talking about.

Or you have to suck it up and put it in a CSMA. Personally, I find that putting up your own POS and not broadcasting the location to your corp works well, you can also uncheck a box and prevent your corpmates from getting into the POS without a password. Just a couple things no one ever seems to mention.

So, if Citadel torps can be destroyed by smartbombs, can the compacts from the F.Bombers be killed also?
wait to see torps launch, activate smarties, all torps die = 0 dmg?

I suggest that before you reply to the topic, read the entire thread first. The discussion about smartbombs ended on page 6.
Originally by: LoveKebab
smartbombs aint killing torps from fighters lol, they are just about the same as normal torps so HP is pretty much the same and u CANT kill torpedo with smartbombs for like a year now
fighters are orbiting just out of the 7500m smartbomb range and torpedo is hitting within 2 sec of when it's fired so u dont have much time to kill those 20 torps... if u cant keep ur drones alive u should not fly a drone ship...

Those changes are great, and the reason we don't see more motherships (current term) out there is that a mothership is an overpriced glorified carrier atm which dies too fast. Expect 400-500 supercarriers after dominion. I wouldn't say that's too few..
Regarding the Remote ECM Burst I agree that it should have a set amount of time where targets are unable to lock. I'd say 5 or 10 sec (maybe depending on skill-level?) would be reasonable. |

one thing many people don't know is.... CEO's have automatic access to all corp poses, regardless of whether there is a password, the allow corp/alliance boxes are unticked or etc.
Now this may not be a problem for most people as if you're an oldtimer you've probably been flying for a ceo you know you can trust. But this isn't always the case, some people get greedy.
A wise man once told me, "...the padlock on that trunk isn't to stop people from stealing from inside it, but to keep them honest."
20 billion isk is a lot to entrust to anyone, more so if you did all the work to build and haul the minerals, components, etc. Which is why I use a garage/logoffski alt.

I would like to suggest the idea that fighter bombers have a further orbiting range after all a faction smartbomb that cost about 80million can blow up another ships main weapon that is supposed to be far superior to a normal carrier or at least just make it that only officer smartbombs would be able to have the fighter bombers in range.

From what i have just seen. If you do not have roles within a corporation, you cannot access your own corp hangers. Is this intended, because that's pretty fail.

hhmm i see a huge problem on suprcarrier. Their drone bay need to be extend because you can't bring enough fighter/fighter bomber's for a long fight.
And fighter bomber need start fire on the targe at 30km i think because many fighter can be destroy during their approach and they are very low, and if they start fire during their approach we have more chance see supercarrier on the field if they can easily bring more fighter bomber and if they are not useless during their approach (new assault ship can kill them easily)

If you can't trust your CEO you should probably not be in the corp. But not trusting one of the Directors is another thing, and if you don't trust one (or more) of them you should probably consider discussing this with your CEO. But I do understand your argument, I guess I am just lucky enough to be able to trust all those in my corp who have Director/CEO status.
Originally by: King Dave From what i have just seen. If you do not have roles within a corporation, you cannot access your own corp hangers. Is this intended, because that's pretty fail.
Yes this is intended, but no it is not fail as this makes sense because it makes new players in a corp earn the trust required to have access to corp hangars and such. It also acts as a deterrent to corp thieves, though many corps just hand access to new players without knowing them or having an X # of days trial period before allowing basic access [ex. first tab]. But if you have been in the corp for a while, there really is no reason for you to not have the roles, and as such you should ask a director or your CEO for them.

Another thing - Any character who can manage a tower and has the correct settings - if they get close outside the shield, they can just change the password. - so any pos managing chars in the corp can also get in if they want too.

By the way, CCP just a friendly reminder to look at the Supercarrier's fighter bay size; Nyx's 20/20 FB/Fighter layout isnt enough room for any other drones, let alone losing 1 is a pain in the bum in laggy fights when you can not recall them fast enough when under fire.
And this is not even possible with other Supercarrier classes...

We're only 2 1/2 weeks away now.
Whats the status on:
Dedicated fighter bays? The extra tools we'd be receiving as mentioned in the dev blog? What CCP thinks of the current sisi iteration of super carriers based on feedback/testing?
Thanks

Super Carriers should not be able to dock. They are fine as they are. Generally if you have enough isk to fork out for a super cap you can probably afford a character to park it with. Hugging stations with super capitals sounds like a lot of fun huh?
FB requiring fighters 5 is fine. If you're going to field a SC hopefully you're going to be properly skilled. fighter 5 only reinforces this. If you can't spare 50+ days for the skill, then super caps probably aren't for you, as it's a long and tedious process to become well skilled for them.
Super carriers being WTF bbq to multiple titans. Of course this is expected. If you have 4 battleships vs 1 battle cruiser you should expect to be WTFBBQ.
A solution to titans wtf bbqing everything is limit their fuel bays to a certain amount or change the module fuel requirement so they can't just stay on grid and kill everything on sight forever.

Yep. i would like to have a clarification too
until now, it really didnt had any impact on the Wyvern having 50km¦ Dronespace less than the Nyx, but with the expansion, the Nyx can field 20/20 and the Wyvern is crippelt with 20/10, i mean wtf, anyone going Nyx now, just because of the Dronespace? I like the Wyvern with its throw away holes in it *g*
