They would have to completely re do vehicles for this to work.

Also i think it would make tanking more an active thing which is good but it wont work. Introducing a cap now wouldnt be a good idea, i would be for it at some point though.

in eve all damage mods are already passive and they are also low slot mods not "high" ( - - ) or medium slots as they would be in eve.
this too i would like changed here but that will be a whole other thread i will make at another time.

and now rather then later is the best time to make these big changes. otherwise they have a game that has been out for 5 years and then you make a big change where everyone has been use to it one way are all now pissed off. if done now the game has been out for near 2 years and at this point ccp dust is still "working" on balancing the game... s oto make a change now while everything is already in a fluid state rather then later when everything should be more solid is the better option here.

my job here is to show ccp dust how far from the eve mechanics they really are or the ones that they have neglected. same universe same tech... different mechanics? no... this will not do.

I would want this too. Problem is they just did a vehicle revamp. They would have to change skills and add in new ones prompting another respec. If they dont give the respec then people will get annoyed possibly leave.

Kelbec Illidarie The Forlorn Hope. 14	Posted - 2014.04.25 00:53:00 - [1] - Quote seeing as eve ships cant do crap with out cap minus fire projectile based weapons, i feel that that feature needs to be introduced into dust for all the vehicles. when using active vehicle mods it will draw from your vehicles cap. Caldari: a shield based vehicle that commonly runs shield hardeners and extenders rather then shield boosters as the shield boosters are ineffective at creating an active shield tank strategy. this change would make both passive tanking (relying on hardeners to extend the effectiveness of the vehicles shield.) and active tanking (using boosters to constantly overcharge the shield systems with energy) useful strategies. Gallente: an armor based vehicle that uses both armor hardeners, armor plates, and (passive) armor repair modules making them a well rounded force to be reckoned with. now that you know each races style of fitting currently lets take a look at how this change will effect them . however this post also works in junction with another i have made suggesting the armor repair module be made an active module as it is in eve online. this would give both races two active mods and one passive mod. active mods: > armor hardener > shield hardener > shield booster > armor repair passive mods: > shield extender > armor plate with a capacitor instead of running a shield or armor mod for a set amount of seconds instead it would, per cycle (the time it takes the yellow bars to make one trip around the mod icon), take an amount of cap from the battery store. this will permit a vehicle to run a module for more then one cycle and the "cooldown" would be the time it takes to recharge your cap which is a passive action and later could utilize a cap booster mod. once the cap is used up or is neutralized via flux grenades, upon completing its cycle the active mod will stop running as there is no more power for it to use. i feel this will help the fight against balancing HAVs because instead of each active mod being on its own timer, and in the case of the caldari's triple harden gunnlogi be able to perma cycle their hardeners, it will place every active mod on one battery. and if you drain it or neutralize it all offensive and defensive abilities go down. this also means that weapon systems would be connected to the cap. firing a blaster will cost cap per round as would a rail cannon and a missile launcher. should they design a laser turret it too would use cap in an amount per tic as a laser is a continuous stream of energy. the amounts for each is up to the devs but the only weapon system that would not use cap if ever developed would be a projectile based cannon by the minmatar. please help me and support this suggestion. so that we can actually play a game that we know and can tell is based in the eve universe. because i dont know about you but i for one feel that if you are going to make a game that is based in the same universe as another using the same technologies then that tech should act the same on the ground as it does in space.

Get gud. Where skill is actually determined by skill and personal abilities such as module and capacitor management. thank you harpyja, and to the rest of you yes this is exactly what we are looking for. to every person that btchs about how OP tanks are and how they cant be killed and how tank spam is too much... this change would make operating a vehicle much more personal skill based. you will have to do more then drive and fire. a ground pounder has to walk track fire watch map etc etc... now the tankers will have that and then some. it will also balance the mods they use. quit trying to solve the HAV issues by nerfing the mods they use and abuse... they are fine, the rail range was fine before it's nerf too. the issue is resource. guns being able to fire non stop (clips, charge time, and over heat have helped this but still more is needed.). mods that can be perma cycled and not able to be countered. now with a cap and flux being able to effect that cap you can stop all tanks from hardening or boosting or repping. there is still work to be done to tanks like specific resistance based hardeners. but this needs to come first.
