I guess since EvE copied it from other games, we cant copy it from EvE?
And it's already apart of the game, Damage Falloff.
CLs are a good example.

i am talking about an optimal range, falloff up close and long range. reminds me of EvE too much.

i dont see how optimum range is new. Its just a falloff both ways. Doesnt take much thinking to come up with such an idea.

Err, why would we need something like optimal range and falloff? We already have it. Cannon arrays are inherently more accurate at certain distances, where the parallax spread converges, and then falls off as it spreads apart out from that point. EVE only has those explicitly defined as numbers because the combat there is all about said numbers- tracking speed, blastwave velocity on missiles, transversal, etc.

The whole "space" thing reminds me too much of eve, so I'm going to change the black starry background to be a nice tropical island print.
Any objections?

The purpose of this thread is to give a reason for people to use cruisers or not to use dread, correct? I think you guys were on to something, about stealing from EVE, you were just stealing the wrong thing. Using the optimal/fall-off thing would effect all ships and wouldn't really give you a reason to pick a cruiser over a dread. However, the sig radius/blast radius idea would gimp dreads more than it would cruisers and smaller ships.
First, to lessen the work load on implemnting this, it really doesn't have to be done completely. It could mostly be accomplished by giving dreads all new "classes" of weapons. By classes i mean they don't really have to be new weapons, it could be something on the order of capital partical cannons.
Second, yea i know in Eve the sig/blast radius thing doesn't stop one battleship from destroying several cruisers. However, since this is not eve i.e. we can dodge, I believe this will address the dreadspace issue. for example if an enemy fleet of six cruisers is spotted, would you and your five friends automatically jump in six dreads? Even knowing the cruisers will dodge some of your shots and those that land will not hurt as much as they could? In truth, you might, it not a perfect system because, there is no such thing. I do believe though, that you would at least think about taking a mixed fleet of dreads and your own cruisers.
Lastly, if it's worked right, that is it's done in such a way that one dread can take two cuisers, but just barely and most be done with some skill. It would balance out the cruiser/dread issue without making one clearly supieror to the other.
