I know a lot of people have said how much better this game would be if we had capacitors involved but unfortunately I disagree. That sort of thing works fine in a game like EvE where you have plenty of time to keep track of things and activate stuff and move and check your stats every second, etc. etc. etc. but in an FPS you have enough keeping your hands full just keeping yourself alive; there's just no time for keeping track of your capacitor.

Even Dust vehicles would become pretty much unplayable for any non-EvE player and probably even some EvE players too. There's simply no time to be able to play whilst also watching out for your shield, armour, stamina, ammo and everything else going on in the game. It just adds another layer of complexity to an already complex version of a pretty simple game genre.

I get it that capacitors could be a way to add in some cool Ewar stuff to Dust but they're not the only way. We could still have Ewar that drains stamina or ammo or increases heat build-up or slows speed and all that sort of stuff and none of it needs capacitors.

Just my wee opinion - feel free to let me know why capacitors would be great and actually add something useful to this game beyond just complicating things.

Well I can't speak for anyone else here so I will speak for myself.

I came to dust really hoping that it would be very much a reflection of New Eden on the ground. I mean they have the groundwork and cannon all ready to go, so design should have been incredibly simple.

Unfortunately this does not seem to be the case. Vehicles operate off of timers (what??) rather than capacitor.. lasers use ammo(they are cap hogs in eve)??... amarr are dual tankers(in eve they are the pre-emanate armor tankers)???...simplified damage types and no resistance plates(vehicles aside)??

Whoever decided to dumb down the game is just ********. The market doesn't need another shooter for stupid people.

Dropsuits already have a capacitor function. It's called stamina. We can manage that just fine, thank you. Capacitors would be added to vehicles, and operate much the same way as stamina does for dropsuits.

This, among many things, is something that should have been installed in Dust from the first inception. I'm baffled at these Devs. So many great things in the New Eden universe left out of Dust.
