great illustrations and they are immediately familiar to an eve player.
if you added in bonuses I think it would better illustrate the effects of tiericide. a T2 (tech 2)(sorta like proto but not at all like proto) frame is simply more specialized than it's tech 1(standard) equivalent.
an assault is probably the easiest thing to demonstrate this with.
amarr med fame "Paul" bonus:
{
. [%] laser PG/CPU cost
. [%] laser heat build
}
amarr med frame "Dakar" bonus:
{
. [%] bonus armor HP
. [%] laser laser damage
}
T2 amarr med frame "Paul" bonus:
{
. amarr med frame bonus:
. {
. . [%] laser PG/CPU cost
. . [%] laser heat build
. {
[%] bonus laser damage
[%] reload speed reduction
}
T2 amarr med frame "Dakar" bonus:
{
. amarr med frame bonus:
. {
. . [%] bonus armor HP
. . [%] swarm launcher damage
. {
[%] swarm launcher reload speed
[%] swarm flight speed
}
some of you may be saying I was following you until the "T2 Dakar bonus" WTF happened there? welcome to the cluster kitten that is T2 bonuses sometime they completely change the role of the frame. tiericide is interesting because it poses the question "do you want extra damage and tank? or the fitting and heat bonus? and while T2 "Paul" is basically a proto suit, T2 "Dakar" is a beastly AV frame. these questions and trades make it interesting to fight and adds another layer of complexity to fitting without making the fitting process harder to learn.
I think tiericide in suits(I haven't been sold on weapons or mods yet) is an extremely interesting Idea that would add needed depth and complexity to the game as well as making it more new player friendly. it should be implemented with the utmost haste.
authors notes:
- Paul and Dakar are names of variables I use in programming, they have no significance.
- Rarara add post formatting tools to the forums I need my tab key back
- if you were thinking, those bonuses look familiar
.....Paul = Omen
.....Dakar = Mallar
.....T2 "Paul" = Zealot
.....T2 "dakar" = Sacrilege
- why did I pick Amarr? I fly Amarr in EvE and am familiar with the bonuses, also the Sacrilege demonstrates how drastically fittings can change between T1 and T2 really well.
this post took about 3 hours to research, plan out, organize, format, and type, so if you found it helpful I'd appreciate the "like". I don't pander for likes but I feel it's deserved here. thanks!
