[March] Cap Battery Tiericide - Upcoming Feature and Change Feedback Center (2024)

72 CPU for t2 Med battery is still a joke.
90 CPU for t2 heavy is even more of a joke.

What do think players intend to sacrifice to fit that abomination, if competiors has 25/40 CPU cost and has additiona capacior measured by size of your cargohold.

small cap battery bonus is 1/4 of Navy 400 charge. Any cap hungry ship eats several charges during the fight. I've used that module only once, was disapointed.
med cap battery bonus is 1/2 of Navy 800 charge. Any cap hungry ship eats several charges during the fight. Flat out useless, as capwar is appled to t2 logistics (no room to fit that abomination, and t3 cruisers (who can fit large one)
large cap battery bonus is 1250 is still garbage for cap-boosting purpuses of BC above, good for t3 cruisers, if you still able to fit that, some hiche t2 hulls (given they still be able to fit that) could use added regen+resists to actually tank some neuts.

tl;dr untill you'll be able to facetank 1.5-2 appropriate sized neuts with added cap regen+resist with said modules, they will be of no use in any actal small-med scale PVP situation, because boosters are flat out better in cap injection during the fight.
Only usable pvp niche is being fitted ready for capwar-intensive fleet battle, when only resistances matter and combined capfeed power of the feet (and that happens only in WH space).

PVE-wise only t3 hulls/small selection of t2 crusers (when you are operate w/o easy acces to cap charges or have no spare cargo room)

No new faction module today for Amarrian side? only Minmatars and Gallente got new faction modules from this rebalance

sry for my English :-(

These still aren't going to be useful. The cap bonuses only work out to be about 15% of their respective size classes' capacitor. Even combined with their cap war resistance, they're still going to be extremely weak compared to cap injectors. In the niche instances you'd want to have a cap war resistance, a cap injector would probably still be a better choice. Moreover, the powergrid requirements for frigates are punishing, small, medium and large variants have far, far too high CPU costs. What were you guys thinking?

For t2 modules, the cap war bonus should be in the realm of 33% and the cap bonuses should double the capacitor size of the ship fitting it. To balance the much larger capacitor, they should come with a 25% capacitor recharge penalty. The fittings of the frigate sized modules should be reduced to near small cap booster levels, and the battleship sized variants should go to around a thousand powergrid to prevent niche HAC fits from abusing them. CPU costs need to make sense, they need to be near the same as cap boosters, there's no reason they need to be so insanely high.

If you're going to fit be to be resistant to cap warfare, make it matter guys. Most of the module tiericide has been pretty good, but you've really dropped the ball on this one. They need to have a much more extreme makeover to be made useful. Please reconsider on this one, you've got a good opportunity to make something kind of fun and useful here out of a module that hasn't been either for years.

still no XL capacitor batteries? (appeared in the DB circa 2004, never came out.. )

(Pre-empting comments: am referring to 'XL', not 'Capital')

Are those Resistence numbers percentage or fixed numbers? I.e i do fit a t2 cap battery and if someone neuts me with a heavy neut draining 600 cap.. he will only drain 575.. or is it 25% and he only drains 450? If its a fixed number and no percentage then you might as well remove the module from the game. Anyhow it would be nice if you could include a proper description whether its % or not cause it is a huge difference.

Also for the love of god.. post sheets that show everything without scrolling left and right.

quite.. these need too be fittable on sub battleships too get any real use small/medium the cpu requirements are unrealistic when you have cap boosters out there.

- 50% e-war resists
- double the cap
- cpu closer too cap boosters

also consider adding a overheat function that injects from a cap reserve

This is by far the best tieracide I have seen so far in the upcoming patch. It really adds some spice to these once reject modules!

It's great to see the neutraliser resistance function is finally being realised.

You guys have done a stellar job getting all of these module groups out at the same time. The energy warfare resistance is a great addition, I love that damage controls are going passive and the falloff addition to sensor damps is nice. Top job all round, thanks.

Not sure the resistance is strong enough relative to cap boosters, though.

Too many new RF mods. I'm sensing a heavy bias? Why? *
Cap warfare is an Amarr-ish specialization, makes little sense for RF to specialize in batteries..

*note Imperial Navy Cap Rechargers, Cap Relays etc. Are we to assume the Imperial Navy is incapable of producing good batteries?
Come on. There should be at least an Imperial Navy version.

STOP WITH THE MINMATAR BIAS FOR f*ckS SAKE. Why doesnt the master race of capacitor(amarr) have faction module in this line up?!

WHY!?

thats 3 more modules so far for the minmatar republic to wet its beak at the lp stores. seriously this is ridiculous fozzie.
