Aren't broker fees one of the things you can change in citadels, meaning 0.01 works vastly in your favor if you (or your friends) own the trade hub?




There aren't any citadels in the game right now, they need to be built first.

I have no idea how broker fees in SovNullSec-outposts work, for all I know someone could just have changed the fee in his outpost to 54% to gently caress him over

What was nerfed about the single-target DDs?

Also, do the AoE ones do 3m damage or is that at least a bit restrained?

Fitting a POS with enough scrams to actually keep a super tackled is going to severely tax the fitting ability of other useful things, I don't think that that's a likely scenario.

Also when it is reinforced they won't work.

None do 3m damage anymore. Single target does 1.5m. The others do 75k a second for 10 seconds.

Vollied a 20 man gang 2 at a time and killed a few tackled dreads that couldn't really do anything but die?

Think 1 or 2 of the dreads was self-destructing for that insurance money (because build price is going down quite a bit), but I'm not certain on that.

I guess you can brag about that if you want?

Phoenix mostly has application issues, and that whole flight time thing is pretty poo poo too.

Most people rallied behind the 'shield supers' are poo poo banner because there wasn't a shield buffer set of implants (as most super groups were armor, simply because of Slaves), but shield buffer implants are coming Soon™.

It used to be because thanks to quirks in how the bonus was applied, the leviathan bonus was trash (specifically, it increased your total shield capacity but left your current shields alone, so you had to be manually brought up to 100% ... every time you changed systems). That was fixed.

Except, you don't need to rape cage the towers anymore, especially when your towers aren't there anymore and our towers are- you know, that whole thing where Supers and Titans can now be tackled by a POS now (thanks :ccp:).

are you planning on leaving enough shared accountstotally single-person-owned accounts around to gun the tower and focus down titans with enough scrams in the extremely likely scenario of a mass breakout

http://pos.gbs.io/#/tower/CIOyAxDLXxoGCJ2GARAy

each warp disruption battery inflicts 3 points so you need minimum 17 focused points to tackle a titan

so 4-5 people to gun per super per tower, and with a limit of 50 points per tower you are tackling at most 3 titans

scrams have easier fitting and double the points but only scram to 75km

and unless you're going to gun with your own supers you need to either have the shields down, which means your gunners are decloaked and shootable, or the shields up, in which case the bump will send the supers sailing quickly out of range of scrams and potentially even the points

so uh yeah this is a pretty stupid plan

e: it's actually 17 i forgot to round up

I ran the numbers pre-patch on suicide frauding dreads, and it def. wasn't worth it, unless it was already insured from a previous scrapped dreadbomb

I didn't run the numbers, but avoided doing it as I imagine the demand for cheap dreads would be pretty high and having one sooner than later would be more valuable than whatever I would theoretically "save" anyway.

I don't think the POS scramming thing was a perfectly implemented idea, I just knew some people were kicking it around.

Most people aren't too keen on logging there super in on a hostile tower though, so it's not a huge deal either way.

Super EHP nerfs are made up for by plates and their roll bonuses to those plates. Also armor dreads will need to sacrifice damage modules in favor of plates just to break even. I don't really see this updating as making dread bombing any more effective - though at least it'll be cheaper to lose dozens of dreads for no reason.

If that super was combat fit and it has a weapons time it won't be able to refit to tank when the dread bomb hits. It also won't be able to get reps at all from nearby supers. Plus it will have to deal with the fact it can't moonwalk out anymore because all those suicide dreads will probably have a capital scram fit on them with a support fleet of little poo poo helping tackle.

They just released the BPO for the citadel itself, so people are busy researching. I'm sure there are some that will build at ME0 or even ME3/4, which I think you can get to fairly quickly.

I shot too many red crosses back in the day. I spent about 2 years doing nothing but lvl 4 missions in Taru, then moved in with FA during the Fountain invasion of 2010. I didn't want to spend too much time ratting, so I used this to get ticks of ~50m actively doing Sanctums in Fade. I completely burnt out and am proud to say I have not shot a red cross since FA left Fade. Hopefully, I never will again.
