Ya I suspect this would be put in, I mean they already have the eve coding for it, just needs some tweaking.

So I made this a request as well, but I'd like a general discussion on it as well, and opinions.



I'm sure there will be mixed feelings about this.

But I prefer having a capacitor that I need to either boost with cap boosters to keep things running or cap stable.

The module countdown/cool down is just not, well to me its meh when your used to a cap system.

I think in eve personally how a ship preforms in pvp is 90% your cap setup and micro managing your cap.

I feel cheated not having this ability

Cons,

for most that didn't come from eve cap management would be hard

....all I got feel free to add more cons.

pros

modules can run for as long as there is cap

tanks and other vehicles, especially in the amarr faction would be able to have their usual energy neutralize bonus

its not about who turned on what module when, but who is better at cap management as well

It could also give infantry a new weapon against vehicles ie neuts again

Expands the spider tanking ability as well as for ships in a logistic role, like guardians and bassi's

Yeah capacitors is a good idea. Right now we have cooldown timers and the overheat on turrets to prevent nonstop spam and implement some sort of balance for vehicle modules. I believe adding cap would solve the issue better. Of course I am a huge fan of giving this game as high a skill cap as possible, and doing this would obviously increase the learning curve for new players, which could be bad.

Imo, the pros of higher skill cap gameplay, along with the possibility for new vehicle counters and new roles, outweigh the con of maybe scaring off new players. I would like to see more EWAR in general in this game to the point where it becomes a viable independent role/playstyle, much like it is in EVE.

We should be able too, these are simple things that should perma run as long as you have cap and are not neuted out just like eve.

Your sacrificing a slot for something that runs 10 seconds then cools for 30 sec that in eve eats minimal amount of cap and stays on permanently


This also leads to new tanking styles,

Intense burst rep tanks,

Better remote rep,

Better logistics,

Ammo will eat cap, depending on race.

As far as the gunners go, I posted that missiles do not take cap, use blasters for dedicated gunners, also gunner turrets are small therefore would take lil' to no cap as well.
