So for delve stuff, we've been theorycrafting lifs because of their dual armor and shield bonuses to save dumbs who get tackled. Yes theyre worse than a dedicated armor or shield fax, but for some people who have both armor and shield supercaps, or groups who are split having both sets of modules fitted to the ship, and only having to online one or the other while sitting on the keepstar saves 30+ seconds if you have to dock and redock with the nonsense timers has foisted on us.

Capital Capacitor Booster I, Navy Cap Booster 3200

Capital Shield Booster I

Capital Remote Shield Booster I

Capital Remote Capacitor Transmitter I
Triage Module II

Capital Core Defense Capacitor Safeguard I

Capital Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I

Just online whichever you need before you jump. Only has ~20k local tank, but for small gangs thats more than sufficient. With both reps running and the local tank going full bore you get around 3 minutes of cap, with just 1 rep and your local you're good for close to 10 minutes.

Good luck with that. It'd be optimal - but it's probably not going to happen. If you were able to sufficiently organize a bunch of phoenixes, you could use them to alpha through a different set of targets from the rest of the dreads - phoenixes have significantly higher alpha than any other dread, and unlike say an arty nag you don't have to worry about tracking.

Booley posted:

Sure, but I'm way too lazy to think of one and you might want to look to yourself first if you care so much.

Flanders. Could I get some input on the Phoenix I linked and possible improvements?

ullerrm posted:

Yep, the economic report numbers do not include any ore mined by the Rorqual superdrones. I wouldn't be surprised if we and the Russians were mining more than the rest of the game combined.

That and you can't really help defend ADM 2 systems that the owner has no intention of defending.

The Mordus is a bit of special case, because the unrest in the North has prevented anyone from doing any really dedicated krabbing. Nobody can live in Pure Blind for more than a few months before PanFam gets bored and evicts them for content. They were in relatively ample supply when we lived there; they were in slightly lower supply when MOA lived there; now, they're in short supply with effectively nobody there.

In contrast, Blood Raiders and Angel regions have been consistently occupied by top-tier krabs for a while now.

The thing about Barghs, though, is that there's other options for them. In contrast, the Mach's range bonus is so much better than any other option for large artillery platforms; you'd want to use them over Maelstroms even if they were more expensive than they are today.

e: Just in case the logic's not clear -- if a doctrine is expensive, but capable of consistently winning fights, it can be cheaper in the long run than a doctrine that's cheap but occasionally loses (or has pyrrhic victories).

This was a major selling point for the old rail Tengu fleets; they were stupid expensive, at 500-600M per hull. But, you had 300K EHP per hull and you could reach out to 225km with Spike, so it almost never loving died. At most, you lost a small handful of them as you retreated, or you fought to a stalemate until one side got bored and left.

e2: VVV What Locke said. Machs are 325M at Jita these days, and Bhaals are 245M. The latter is actually getting cheaper than some T1 BS hulls these days.

So some goons under the leadership of Boat were camping a few systems in Deklein owned by ChaosTheory. They only killed a few hundred mil worth of stuff, meanwhile, we killed 2 blops, a stratios, a handful of bombers, and a rorq they tried to help evac.

They apparently left a few days ago, so well played boat, well played.

Thanks pal.

I regret giving my billions and my character away to a goon who quit like a year after me and hasn't passed my character on to someone else. It's been inactive for a few years now. Rip those tens of millions of SP

I love those HK scarves.

And I'm rather nervous for the upcoming T3C nerf. With no details, it could either rejuvenate the game ("there's cruiser armor doctrines other than Proteus/Legion?!") or be an unremarkable fart in the wind.

Libluini posted:

Or we will wait three more years without anything happening, like last time CCP said T3Cs would be rebalanced "soon".

Magic Rabbit Hat posted:

Relatedly, should the Machariel be nerfed, or should the Maelstrom be given a Falloff bonus?
