If you could choose something to change about where capital class ships were allowed, would you choose: _Poll ([view on site](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/what-capital-change-would-you-like-to-see-a-poll/497114/1))_ I would choose Carriers in Highsec. It gives so many players another avenue for PVE AND PVP and it’s the type of thing that will keep current players engaged as well as tease many more to return to the game. ---

Why not Titans in Highsec? ---

Titans would be hard to gank, and would not really have a place in high sec where it’s useful. (Yes I know you are joking, just answering for the uninformed peeps). Carriers at least are about the same DPS as Marauders, although again the biggest draw back is that it will take a lot to gank, more so than even pre nerfed marauders and current freighters. ---

Oh, he is joking about the carriers? I thought this was a serious proposal. ---

Just create a T1 hull that has a carrier killing weapon for the HS carriers and its all balanced. Like Attack Battlecruisers or Stealth bombers. Just something that punches above its weight class for carriers. Then make carriers so OP everyone uses them and then introduce the balance later on to collect all the salt….😈 ---

There are capital changes I’d like to see. There are balance changes to make capital ships more fun and to give carriers a better place in the current meta. But to my disappointment the poll has none of those options. Instead it’s a request disguised as poll to have capital ships in a part of space where they cannot reasonably be killed due to the amount of health those ships can reach. As long as CONCORD exists in HS it makes no sense to also have capital ships in HS space. Bad ideas with no sense of game balance. ---

As long as CONCORD exists in HS it makes no sense to also have capital ships in HS space. I have no opinion or dog in this fight, but how would you feel about a permanent suspect flag for highsec capitals? CONCORD says “capsuleers with big ships can handle themselves kthxbye.” ---

Interesting, but they’ll easily be killed by determined players when no one can legally come to their defences. Capital ships are meant to be used with subcapital support. If the capital ship is suspect and on their own no one else can defend them. They may be able to out-repair some subcapital ships and stay alive, but in no time you would see groups of players set up to take on these loot piñatas as they’re easily caught. Add some ships with neuts, a Cenotaph to deal raw damage and a bunch of Triglavian ships spooling up their single target dps and it doesn’t take more than a few players to take down a capital ship. Unless all of those attackers also get a special suspect flag for attacking a capital ship, then I can see it work as the capital ship can have allies defend it. But when the introduction of capital ships to HS space means everyone has to be able to attack each other… we’re kind of introducing LS game mechanics to HS. ---

What about removing CONCORD and other Highsec mechanics, thereby allowing capital ships via that route? This would convert Highsec into lowsec, improving the opportunities for small groups to engage in this content. ---

I’d love it, but I’m not sure if many HS players agree. ---

I thought this post was for fantasising about unrealistic outcomes, without regard for whether others will agree. ---
