It isn't fair I go to solo in my frig and someone blobs me with 50 lokis and a phobos.

Here's what i propose. All fleets have a finite amount of ninjitsu. Every ship in the field divides that ninjitsu between them. This means that a solo loki does 100% damage and has 100% tank but 2 lokis has 50% damage and 50% tank each and three has 33% each etc.

Since a 50 man blob divides the total ninjitsu by 50, my kestrel could then take them on.

I think that you could also train a skill in leadership to increase total ninjitsu for your fleet.

You're an idiot. Join my corp.

edit for clrification: Yes - CCP cconstantly 'nerf bigger=better' concerning ships to somewhat ridiculous amounts, however, they leave the 'bigger numbers=better' power surge completely untouched, indirectly increasing it with improvements to lag.

Blobs need a nerf similar to Supers, but what the OP suggests is just stupid.

Small gangs need goals that can't just be accomplsihed by a blob of junk that will 100% better than 10% the numbers of T2 ships.

Ah, the classic Wintergrasp Tenacity buff. As much as I hate to be the victim of any blob this is not the solution, IMHO.

So close...

FYI I don't go up against an ibis with less than fifty titans.

I figured out the perfect balance solution. A basic formula of...

1 Ship < 2 Ship < 3 Ship < 4 Ship.

And so on with variables based on speed, tracking, EHP, DPS, Sig Rad and so on. All effecting how you catch / escape and win / loose in various combat situations. This will determine the combat ability of 1 type of ship like a Battleship or ships vs a Battlecruiser or Battlecruisers where the 1 Battleship is considered better then 1 Battlecruiser in a straight up fight but the Battlecruiser is better at avoiding certain things and moving into or out of range.

This can further be complicated by fitting either ship for roles by say sacrificing x tank for y damage or n damage for z range. This can give certain Ships that would be bad vs another ship a leg up if fit to counter.

CCP should design the game this way...

Oh wait.

No, I just don't believe a single ship should have superhuman strength that can counter an entire armada. I'm admittedly not very good at it (not many are in a solo battlecruiser) , but the way to defeat a blob is to outfox it, not fight it. IF you get caught, you lost.

So close...

Your statement is false.

It's 501 drakes vs. a velator, dumbass.

Quite an abortion of a troll.

Far too obvious.
