If you look at Providence's ADM (http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Providence#adm) they're almost all at 6 ADM which is the max because they actively use their space etc.


CCP heavily have implied cramming people into regions/constellations is ideally what these changes will want to do.

Then again we reset all the ADMs in Provi in two weeks on a lark invasion. Even when it's working exactly as intended, fozziesov makes it way too easy.

So how boned is the CFC super fleet after this patch? Don't really think CCP should intervene but drat, seems like there's no way for any super pilots still in 0.0 to get new mods, refit, or unload overloaded bays without logging into a pretty hostile environment.

Read that reddit thread too, eh?

Supers in YA0 are probably stuck until we can at least get a foothold back in Dek I'd say. Supers in Saranen will be fine.

Rape caging super towers is very nearly a complete waste of time, over the last 5-6 years and at least a good dozen rapecages I've seen exactly one super die in such a setup.


Yeah, bubblewraps exist to deny the enemy usage of their ships while you accomplish objectives... but we're already not using our supers

Dreads now have excellent overheated tank and are cheaper to build/supply. And since for suicide dreads movement doesn't matter you can easily make up the EHP with plates and extenders. DD's also still have windup times, and Titans themselves have lost a lot of EHP as well.

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.

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:).

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.

I know, I was talking about bombing runs on shield capitals, since other people have told me shield-capitals are somewhat vulnerable against that.

In fact, me knowing this was the reason for me not using the term "Dread bombing" because I thought it would confuse some people. But thanks, next time I will put in huge disclaimers in bold and with sirens to list everything I didn't meant

A) bomb damage to capitals is pretty negligible

B) you can't move in siege, the only time dreads are useful, so you can't exactly MWD out of their (or AoE doomsdays) way.

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?

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

What are the mechanics behind the new doomsday?

pick a point in space and a line between that point and your titan lights up with a targeting marker to everyone - titan then neuts eveything around it for 33k for 10s (I think?), then applies a 75k dps DoT for 10 seconds to everything within 5k of that line.

It's a cone that works on the same damage calculations as a regular bomb but with the extra multiplier

Where P is the target's current standings to PL.

It was the lance DD not the shotgun DD
