evilweasel posted:Also the Levi bonus used to be worthless, because when it increased the total shield capacity it didn't actually add that much in shields. So you'd then have to rep everyone up in order to get the benefit of the bonus. The Rag's bonus has always been pretty useless. 37.5% Sig radius reduction is pretty significant. Even a full set of HG Halos is only half that, and you tend to see a major decrease in damage received when you've got a set of those plugged in.

It's strictly useful while supporting subcaps, which makes it extremely rare that its useful. All the other bonuses are directly relevant to cap/supercap fleets (though now that dreads no longer active tank, cap is less relevant, but when titans were first built it was incredibly important).

As an aside it might be interesting to add a failure point to the sign-up process so that people who accidentally use the same credentials twice get told to use their previous account. I sure would've hit the brakes and figured out the issue before making another account if I'd have been reminded I already had an account.

In the interest of this ongoing "understanding the history of Titan doctrine" discussion, I just went and inspected the wreck of the IRL Erebus. I don't know where ccp came up with this "6 capital hybrid" thing. The original had 3x680 smoothbore Mulgrave-issue artillery cannon.

So it looks like CCP are going to allow people to buy name changes come summer. I wonder how that's going to be implemented and if they are going to leave name changes as viewable by other players. I'd post the actual email from them, but I assume CCP wouldn't be very happy about that.

Lack of Gravitas posted:The curse of middle-management isn't just confined to Brave. By contrast I do not remember any of this back in the days when Dee Carson was their DirOps and the original CEO was still CEO, back in like 2008 or so. You just had to be a nice guy who didn't scam or gank, and the ratting tax was pretty much always 100% since when is someone not at war with E-UNI to pad their killboard? I always assumed that all the comparisons of Kelduum to a sith lord were good-natured jokes based on his character's last name being a reference to the main character in KotOR, but apparently the dude was just an rear end who injected all kinds of terrible policies into an already tedious organisation.

CommonShore posted:Having seen lots of Chimeras lately, in their shieldy awesomeness, I'm forced to wonder how the armor Archon became the carrier-of-the-line. Nobody has been able to answer that for me yet. 1) You can stick a set of Slaves in your head and get fairly large bonuses to your armor buffer on an armor cap/supercap. No equivalent for shield. Reasons 2-4 involve supers, and why armor supers are the norm: 2) Historically, the shield Titan bonuses were considered garbage. In the past, if you had some source of +10% shield in your gang (links, Levi bonus, etc.), when it became active, you'd gain 10% max shield HP, but not 10% current HP. So everyone appeared to instantly take 10% shield damage, and then have to rep it up or passively regen it. Armor didn't have that issue; you gained both max HP and current HP. Obviously, this is fixed now, but this caused a lot of perception issues at the time. 3) Until DDAs affected fighters/fibos, there wasn't really anything for shield supers to stick in their lowslots. Mostly, you did faction Power Diagnostic Systems to increase your shield buffer -- and even then, you generally weren't as tanky as a armor super, due to Slaves. Plus, the lack of DDAs meant that armor supers were always 100% fulltank fit at all times and would have a bunch of mids free for MWD/sebos/TPs/tackle, while shield supers did not. 4) Slightly stronger resilience to neuting. If I'm in an armor super and neuted dry, I can refit to passive energized membranes and still have a fairly respectable tank. If I'm in a shield super and neuted dry, it's a little hairier; there is no shield equivalent of the EANM. (You still switch to passive shield amps anyways; it's just not as smooth of a transition as it is on armor.) So, with #1-#4 combined, you can see why armor supers became the norm early in Eve's history. And if you've got armor supers, you want armor carriers to support them. However, even with that, there's still a few reasons at the carrier level too. 5) The remote shield transfers used to use significantly more CPU than they do today. You can trivially do a triage Archon with 3CRAR / 1CET using all T2 mods; in the past, it was pretty much impossible to do a triage Chimera with 3CRSB / 1CET without doing significant pimping. (And even today, a 3CSRB fit will have cap stability issues, which is why our official triage fit uses 2CSRB and a utility high.) 6) Before the introduction of Tech3 offgrid boosters, ganglinks generally came from an overtanked command ship on-grid. Slaves would allow you to get 400K EHP or more on a Damnation, so they'd almost never die, which means that it was pretty easy to find someone to fly one. Vultures had far less tank, and would die more often. And finally: 7) Generally, if you have shield supers and carriers, you want shield dreads too. The only shield dread is the Phoenix.

Zephyrine posted:So what's your opinion? I we had to build cap swarm up from the ground today would it all be Caldari? Nope -- you'd want a mix of both armor and shield. Shield is nice for moving caps from one area to another, since you can fit warp speed rigs and istabs while still being full-tank fit... but ultimately, once you get to the location where you'll be fighting, you need different things. Stations might need either armor or shield reps. Tengus want shield reps; Dominixes want armor reps. Etc. For my part, I keep both a Chimera and an Archon staged in YA0. I'll fly what's needed.
