Capital Ultra Heavy Power Cell (manu)

Capital Ultra Heavy Power Cell

Capacity: 10000
Charge Rate: 100/s
Mass: 1000000kg
Grid Power: 190
Level: Mission

There has been requests for items to have lower grids so capital ship owners can shoe horn addons onto their ships. I think the better option would be a manufactureable power cell.

The positives for this cell: It would have enough grid for a trident or Goliath to equip cap swarms all around plus a queen beam.

Because the item is manufactured, it could equipped to any ship in game (even though it is called a capital cell).

50/50's It will have 10000 capacity. This would allow it to be used in an assault platform. On the other-hand, because of the slower recharge rate and the increased capacity, it will take much longer to recharge after a jump. And sustained fire after the initial capacity is drained would be at a reduced rate.

Negatives: the mass is insane. Even if someone tries to equip the cell to rag, they won't be able to maneuver. It will also make the goliath a bit more sluggish.

The slower recharge and high mass are good trade offs for the increased grid and capacity. This cell would solve the issues other pilots are having other addons and would add an additional item to galaxy.

It should probably be manufactured at a Latos station. Orion might make sense. One per week.

This would make golis utter broke with 3 capswarms, and dents with 4.

Sort of. They would have an initial damage advantage, but remember cap swarms use energy to fire, and since this cell charges slower than the normal cap cell, their fire rate would be a lot lower. Since the cell weighs so much, the goli would become quite slow. And since the cell would have to get to 100% to jump through a wormhole, the goli would be at huge disadvantage while waiting 100 seconds for the cell to charge. Imagine waiting that time while trying to jump into the unknown.

Plus 25 seconds min to jump sector to sector.

I'm SO for this!

This gives users the ability to use their capswarms again, and even more so for goli users but they have to work extra for it. Super +1

I like this I agree we need more power cell diversity over the entire playing field cappie cells and regular cell
But let me irritate there has been many suggestions about this as per https://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/3/37336#424118
If this does get implemented there should be a light cappie cell as per the suggestion I made above.
