Text from Leviathan description, "Citizens of the State, rejoice! Today, a great milestone has been achieved by our glorious leaders. A stepping stone in the grand story of our empire has been traversed. Our individual fears may be quietened; the safety of our great nation has been secured."

What Empire? The Caldari Empire, who is so proud of their Titan doesn't allow it to grace the presence of Sobaseki, Jita, or New Caldari? They claim it is for the saftey of the Caldari nation, but it can't defend Caldari space!

I could go quoting Cap Ship descriptions and how their Empire's are so proud to have such ships, but, apparently they are not. These ships are not welcome in any of the Imperial space that designed them.

Why not? I don't see any imbalance issue at all, war decs are completely legal, why can't warring corp's in Empire fight with cap's, why should they be forced into low security. How about production, why can't these ships be built in high security? Why limit them to mega corp's and the 0.0 Alliances they belong to (the only people who can survive in 0.0), why can't an Independent 50 man Empire Corp have a Carrier as a flagship, or even a Rorqual for indy corps? It costs more to maintain a POS in Empire, with lower benefit's. Before people go cry carebear, or whatever, this is a PvP aspect for Empire space, POS warfare in Empire is probably a lot more difficult, and uncommon as it stands. Introduction of Cap use in Empire would give legal Corp Warfare a significant boost, I hardly see anyone get shot in Empire as is, maybe once a week.

What about an upstart Alliance who wants to claim a chunk of 0.0 for itself, how would it manage this without cap ships these days? Hardly seems possible imo. I can imagine fleets of equal size, but the Empire based one being crushed simply by the cap using fleets of 0.0.

In this matter also allowing carriers to traverse star gates, a providence freighter is larger than a Thanatos and has significantly more volume than any carrier yet it can travel gate to gate at will. What sense does this make? All it tells me is that mechanics are wrong. EVE is usually very good at keeping numbers proportional, but fails miserably here. Also apon checking every single dreadnought has either the same volume, or less than a providence freighter. Keeping jump drives a part of cap ships is important too though.

So what say you General Discussion forum viewers?


Edit: Does anyone know why CCP did this also? I want to hear your reasons for or against, but when I played EVE 20 months ago, I remember dreads that could be in Empire, could be wrong, that was a long time ago. If I'm right about them being in Empire before I wonder what changed CCP's mind.

Thats not very fair.

I followed all the help and info on this forum.
