Originally by: CCP Abathur ... perhaps the HelĘs bonus is not so bad. So, what would you like to see here? Would an additional boost to the current RR bonus be welcomed? Ponies? ...
As an confident minmatar carrier pilot i was always seeing the Nighoggur with it's bonus at the top of the carriers, because of bonuses consonant with it's role. But indeed with the changes the big brother hel will really suck.
My suggestion is to change the bonus to somekind of velocity increase or signature decreas bonuses. (Would be in line with minmatar roles) No not to the ship, please not!!!! We don't need another fastest super capital!!!
Assigne the bonus to the fighter bomber....
What do you think?

The issue with Fighter Bombers is the same as drone dps period, is that it can easily be destroyed and not replaced, at great expense to the pilot. Even more so for mothership pilots as they cannot dock to replace their fighters like regular carriers. As an FC I would be putting all my sub-battleships on killing Fighter Bombers if there was a mothership of field. When 100 BCs and hacs are shooting fighter bombers, that T2 Throax HP won't save them, and then the mothership pilot is useless.
Also, jump range boost to make them equivalent to dreads please?

In any case it should be an offensive, dps-boosting bonus, which is different but complimentary to the Nyx bonus.

Originally by: Max Teranous I'd like to see a damage bonus TBH. Then you have 2 tanky moms, 2 ganky moms. Not that interesting, but certainly useful.
Max
I also remember when motherships were announced back in.. 2006 afaik? or was it 07? I don't remember really.
but I remember that adding 1 or 2 XL turret slots to them was on the drawing board.
...maybe revisit that concept? ---

And why do caldari pilot have to train 2 skills so that they can use both cruise and torps
when u have other that just have capital hybrit, energy, proj, and they can use both short and long range guns. would it not be fair to make just 1 capital skill "capital missle" skil and u can use both torp and cruise for a dread

Originally by: LiMu Bai Will Supercarriers be able to dock @ 0.0 Playeroutposts (with special upgrade...)?
There are no plans to allow docking at this time (and not anytime soon).
The problem is: Capital fleet operations which includes MS' are more or less rare in eve. Motherships are mainly used only for very special kinds of ops. It is just boring to force the pilot to stay in this ship forever to wait for this rare events. This ship needs to dock somehow to allow pilots to switch vessels. Otherwise you cant really enjoy the game.
There might be issues regarding stupid docking games...so consider to let them only dock in 0.0 Outposts with a special upgrade or increase the redock timeer to some hours or whatever. This would circumvent those issues and actually allow MS -Pilots to play this game without alt accounts. Would be really nice. And easy to implement.
You see docking for Supercarriers will never happen cause CCP loves money and this forces the pilot to get a second account just to play the game. --------------------------------------------- Noghri ViR for CSM Vote for me here: http://myeve.eve-online.com/council/voting/Vote.asp?c=28

Quote: Why not its just ppl problem if they wanna be fu**ing around in low sec trying to kill stuff. its your own fault if u die there atm carriers are indistructble on stations in low sec unless u have a huge dread gang even then they usualy manage to deagrro and dock up. ive seen 3 carriers with multi hic sit around a station that has litle dock radius killing every thing that comes out this sertanly counters that and makes these guys think 2 befor doing it. its a 50 - 100 bill isk ship it sould have some bonuses to killing sh** not just sit at a pos bridging stuff around.
10 dreads will pop almost any carrier on station before it can dock if it's done right. So, that's not exactly a huge dread gang nowadays i would say. If there is more than one carrier and you have to expect RR then Falcons work quite well.
Not necessarily saying low-sec DD should be forbidden but you don't need it to solve the station humping problem.
Also, measuring a ships ability to kill things from its price is something that seems rather wrong to me personally and it's not like a Titan is reduced to a jump-bridge only with no kill potential in case the low-sec DD doesn't come back. It still works in 0.0 which is their main playground anyways.
So long o/

Quote: Dual 1000mm Railgun: Damage mod to 5.8
Why not 6.3 that you said before on another topic? I think it suits better from the exchange of the 50% drones per lvl. Or just forget about the rail dmg mod and return the drone bonus to 50, or better, put 25% or 30% and let the 5.8x dmg on rails.

Or we could just balance the 1000mm damage against the other XL turrets regardless of what those silly drones are doing.

Doesn't take much skill and leadership to order 20 bombers to a titan under attack and bomb all the fighter bombers to hell. All you'll ever need is a bomber wing and supercarriers will never kill anything. All titans fit 8k smartbombs generally so they also going to get smartied to foook. Need more EHP, they need to be faster, and they need to do more damage.
Right now all this patch does is kill Supercarriers. Oooh, HP boost and oh shiney fighter bombers, let me jump into this cap fight and kill some dreads. Oh sheeeeet Clarence all my drones are dead and my 25m EHP is melting like an ice cube on a hot summer's day.

Edited by: Ammath on 21/12/2009 17:52:58 Where are we at with Fighter-Bombers?
Are these strike craft designed purely as anti-capital, or can they hit Battleship hulls effectively?
Also a question on Compact Torps... I know smartbombs were a concern with them, has this issue been looked at?
Lastly Stealth Bomber Bombs versus Fighter-Bombers how are we looking in terms of survivability?

i was just about to say "ROAMING SPEED!" but i saw that u didnt mean the ship but fighter bombers and fighters :) it could work - but it would have to be like 7.5% not 5% cuz it wouldnt rly give much boost whatsoever :/

It wouldn't take much for US to kill the fighter bombers with bombs(And by us I mean Vee) but you guys seem to have enough trouble not bombing your own bombers.
But hey ya MS are worthless with 25m HP so never buy one TIA

Care to elaborate on this?
Sure thing.
Right now on a very expensive Ragnarok you'll get about 42m ehp. Compared to an avatar (~58m) or an erebus with HG slaves (~48m). That's not including any gang bonuses at all.
Now say you have an erebus boosting the armor titans, when they jump into a system their EHP gain is instant. When you have a leviathan in gang the shield titans need reps or about a day to regen their shields and have proper EHP, which will still be way less than the armor titans.
Not even including the fact that 90% of nowadays carriers will go for CRAR and not CST's.
I could give proper numbers and fits if you want me to, but I guess you know how to EFT just as well as me.

Edited by: DOARota on 21/12/2009 18:04:37 Welcome changes so far. You need to allow fighter bombers to shoot control towers as well. All titans need 25% turret/launcher damage increase. That will about do it.
Maybe not the leviathon, but the other 3 titans for sure.

Sure, please explain to me why our thanny and nid pilots should have these when most fleet ships nowadays are armor tanked. Chimeras and phoenixes are barely seen in fleets due to the same fact I pointed out above (erebus/leviathan bonuses). You should go have a look at fleet fights in 0.0 larger than 100vs100 and check out the number of shield tanked capitals.
How is the shield titans's EHP (most importantly ragnarok) and shield regen issue not to be talked about here? This thread is called Capital Ships in Dominion 1.1.

Abathur,
Care to elaborate on why supercarriers shouldn't be able to dock in 0.0 space after all the people that have been asking for this so they don't have to waste a character that's permentaly stuck in a ship that's only useful a handful of times every couple of months?
If not docking in stations, how about a POS mod of some kind that will allow the pilot to securely park their SC and get into another ship without having to worry about a thief taking their SC? --------------------------------------------- Noghri ViR for CSM Vote for me here: http://myeve.eve-online.com/council/voting/Vote.asp?c=28

They like having every MS pilot under the sun buzzing in their ear every time they **** them up. If we could dock we wouldn't be nearly as fervent.
