Or it's not implemented yet since MCCs are currently NPC controlled (And will likely remain that way for high sec battles)
However, it is my thought that MCCs will eventually be fitted with something like a Siege Module which bolsters its defenses significantly. However, like EVE, Siege Modules require special fuel beyond the usual capacitor energy, to activate and maintain. As such an MCC commander might have to scour the battlefield for fuel depots to keep the MCC's siege module active, all while bombarding the enemy MCC. It's going to be a balancing act between maintaining defenses and offensive capability to buy your ground forces enough time to help you finish off the enemy MCC. |

And they finally explain why in even in a defense map you'd want to deploy an mmc of your own, those guns are massive and fire alot imagine how much pain they can cause if they point to the ground?
I believe the defense relays prevent the MCC from shooting at the ground. They could make an argument that the MCC needs a hard target to lock onto in order to fire, and the defense relays jam this so the MCC can't lock anything on the ground.
As for the comment about bottle-necking at fuel depots....isn't that kind of the point? |

Yeah I saw the same post via Facebook, so I imagine the blog is still mostly accurate.
Also 1.2km/s in EVE really isn't that fast, my Battlescruiser gets close to that and it's much larger.
I think the fastest a ship can go in EVE under normal space conditions is a little over 20km/s, I know there is a youtube video out there where he explains how to do it. |
