Proposal to add XL rigs for structures

Since current meta for null’sec is about glassing everything with hundreds/thousands of drones, i would propose to add XL-Set Point Defense Battery Control RIG to the game it would help shift the meta as also provide another tool for defenders to keep attacking force in check.

coincidence this is posted as winterco is about to lose their keep.

Sadly for you im the one attacking it [Imperium} :slight_smile: just seeing current meta made me realized how much TiDi battle made keepstars vulnerable to drones

no sadly for me.. id rather see winterco lose everything…

Coincidence that this is posted after CFC lost 2 Keeps to that tactics by a CFC character no less? :joy:

Though, I would rather not see this kind of crap ingame either for a different reason. No one should be fighting at the Keepstar in the first place. The combat should be happening all around the constellation of the Keepstar on specific Attack Nodes to disperse server load, allow for actually enjoyable battles, remove the annoying login, undock, dc blackscreen hours and all kinds of other issues.

I don’t think you even would achieve anything with those rigs, the opponents could simply drop mass-sentries outside of PDS range and let them shoot for hours and hours during TiDi, not?

The real solution against those TiDi battles is really to split up those fights to different systems which all have to be conquered within a very strict timeframe. So both attacker and defender would need to split forces tactically, but the load could be splitted between nodes.
