[@beanie5851]

Selor Kiith that’s pretty close minded if you ask me. Keep in mind I’m not saying space games should focus on cockpit and interior stuff, it’s 100% a secondary focus if anything. All I’m saying is in a game where people develop complex and effective social structures, you could make a lot out of the potential to leave your ship and interact with others. Devote more time to making the eve news longer so when it does repeat it doesn’t feel so repetitive, you could implement a bar with screen effects for alcohol and illegal drugs, on the large scale you could have meeting rooms for officers. Possibly a room for yourself that’s customizable, you could make high tier NPCs drop trinkets that you could put in your room or cockpit or whatever to make it personal. As it stands currently a lot of people spend the game docked up for hours at a time. Is it crazy to imagine giving them a more interactive environment? Maybe you wouldn’t be interested and that’s fine, the game is ultimately about flying spaceships, but a lot of people would use a feature like that compared to literally one room with maybe 4 different clickable things and a 4 minute news segment on repeat.

To be truly effective those Farraguts should travel as a unit similar to a naval Carrier Battle Group. The US Navy's Carriers project very powerful force. But only when used together with Missle Cruisers, Battleships, Submarines etc. If we sent our Carriers into fights by themselves they'd be defeated fairly easily.

[@zaktii]

that and well Capital Ships are very lack luster. I've seen people "kill" them in Sidewinders

[@mobiuscoreindustries]

Mainly because cap ships run on the "base" game strengh weapons, while every single other NPC has been powercrept using engineers. In fact what is most threatening with the capital ships isn't their guns, its their fighter wing! because these capital ships always had a special fighter squadron that they deployed when they first emerge in the system. That's nice and all, these fighters used to be very weak but be present in large numbers, on top of being in a wing meaning they would only focus one target at a time. but then the ship launched fighters appeared, and since frontier apparently does not know what variants are, they simply changed the code of existing fighters to create the "new" ship launched fighters. Very nice, but obviously these new fighters were given vastly increased damage to compensate for the fact that even the mightiest of vessels could just afford to launch one... exept frontier forgot these. And obviously these waves of fighters focusing on a single guy would spell disaster to all but the most shieldtanked of ships. I remember back when i was still a vanilla pleb, running around with a vanilla shield tanked anaconda. It had been more than enough to shrugg almost all enemies in the game, tho being more than challenging when it came to dealing with the elite engineered vessels. However against these shitboys i lasted exactly 11 seconds. Nowadays they don't always show up, so its better, but the balance of combat is still thrown out the side. There is a gigantic diffrence between Elite, non engineered vessels and elite engineered ones, and don't even get me started on PVP

I did one of these fights once. It was awesome. Took me about an hour total. My vette wasn't engineered right for this kind of fight and I repeatedly had to retreat and reboot to reset my shields.
