Zoom, I want a siege module that has standard stats across the board that all heavies can use.  A siege module that is useless in pvp but standard in gamma warfare.  I've been playing with a lot of sub 1 Million EP players sometimes it's not an option to fit a zenith or a vagabond because their only account is a combat account.  And they built up to use a heavy, just to sit the sidelines.  I don't want everyone assimilated into the same role.  I want people who show up the shoot things be able to shoot things.  Even if their range is just shy of the turrets and they have to take a little oncoming fire.

I'm not here trying to push an agenda, I just want people to experience the game play.  Which will lead me to a part 2 on the whole gamma thing, to entice people to come out and use it.

Like I suggested previously, you could use the autocannons, they are practically not used.  Add high hit dispersion, jack up their weight and given them comparable range.

Zoom, I share you opinion on turrets that are boosted.  Players shouldn't be able to shoot hi tech turrets that have at least 1 hi tech sensor booster on.  But stationary turrets with nothing on them players should be able to out range them.  Because if not you can stick 3 repairs on a turret and just sit behind 4 energy batteries and laugh.

And Standard turrets with 2 standard sensor boosts on them should be at range with whatever the siege modules at.

Reinforcement on turrets is great. Would be pretty lousy getting turrets ganked all the time. Right now it's all about the proper siege 3 days after ringing the doorbell, like it should.

thats what you think it does.

now think a bit more, and maybe you will find the error.

come on TS and i explain it to you,
or find me in E:D

I cannot begin to tell you how terrible a siege mod will be....

You will take everything that was changed in Eve and move it here.

Then wonder why everything has to be changed AGAIN two years down the road.

This is NOT a original idea, or even a half *** good one.  Its a bandaid fix for a problem that does not exist to a system that is pointless.

He's trying to say that in order to attempt tanking X number of turrets, a heavy has to be fit correctly. However, you cannot fit enough range extenders and any sort of a tank (even with maxxed extensions) to allow you enough maneuvering room so that you can walk into range, take a few hits, and back out.

Without range extenders, most robots would be evaporated by turrets as they attempted to close to their native 300-500 ranges (since boosted turrets open fire at 1km+).

The culprit being that a number of modules (not only range extenders!) don't have an appropriate extension in-game that reduces their CPU/Reactor cost. For example, the range extender has nothing that reduces the reactor fitting cost.

Either a new extension (like Economical engineering) or adding unaffected modules to existing extensions would probably solve most of the problems, at the very least it would bring us one step closer to a balanced Gamma experience.
