Eh, who are yall to decree what has no place here? Thats customization at work.

And Sgt Kirk do you even play or do you just visit forums to spread your old man "get off my lawn" rants.

All you dudes do is *****.

Can you answer the question?

Did people not notice this till now, is this some sort of big revelation.

Lore. EVE lore was developed to define the racial combat philosophies. The only race that should be dual tanking is the Minmatar.

It's something we want to fix, first was in alpha to get other plates incentivized. I truly believe that the best way is to make hp modules the most expensive to fit and I agree with reducing the kincats/codebreakers and other alternatives dramatically. We already announced some of those in charlie even. we need to buff dmg mods again, to 357 or 468.

There is supposed to be a change in costs for those, plus a small increase to PG.

At the same time, we can't do everything well. Being able to hack that fast, while being invisible isn't different than being able to fully tank a suit and be invisible. There have to be sacrifices.

Lastly, if you have dampening to 5, not everything can see you, even without damps.

"See you space cowboy"... Great song! Bebop forever!

Minmatar have been armor OR shields; not armor AND shields.

Something which would make AV far more powerful than it already is.

I beg to differ. I've out PLCd him each time I've seen him, and he is usually in proto or immediately switches to proto after he dies once or twice. He usually runs in a full squad of competent people, and has many skills that grant passive bonuses, which make running non-proto trivial. He also readily said that he was gonna win the PLC in the Destructive Data Mining event, just days before he created a forum topic saying that he feels he should just get the name for his favored weapons, and shouldn't have to compete.

Just sayin', I'd like to see him actually defend his title himself instead of asking someone else do it for him. From what I've seen, not the best with the PLC, not willing to attempt to make his supposed title more official by competing in the DDM event, and not so exceptionally talented to run "underpowered" suits unassisted and still achieve the top of the board at the end of the match.

We have discussed it, but dmg mods mostly benefit armor tankers, so we don't want that to be a role bonus.

Your other suggestions on balancing heavy, light and sidearm dmg mods separately is a very good point indeed.

Damage mods should be relative.

Heavy damage mods should be the lesser. As it applies to Forge guns and HMG's with large clips.

And the 5% already makes a massive difference in those two guns performance.

The question you really have to ask yourself is, "Is Armor tanking underpowered?". By having damage mods in the high slot you're creating the dynamic that, assuming you actually fix the fitting costs of tank and utility mods, that the highest hp variants should also be the highest damage dealers.

Traditionally in eve damage mods are in the lows because shields are generally less buffer than armour, their actual defense against armor is either out maneuvering and or out damaging armor boats. Hence why both of those modules types are all low slot items.

The power grid extension modules are rarely used in Eve either, for a number of reasons.

1. fitting modules in general aren't popular
2. The opportunity cost of a slot is greater, making players respect fitting budgets more
3. rigs exist, so players would rather burn a rig slot than a module slot

It's not a good or a bad thing; it just is.

Ummm, guys?
This was a joke thread that was supposed to die within 30 minutes tops.
