Seriously, I get that you want to force people to blob up, but you could do that by making blobbing more fun, instead of screwing over small gang and solo pvp.

Not sure if someone had a mental breakdown or a bad troll.
Seriously though, come winter expansion, there will be a viable (or potentially viable) sustainable small gang fleet with the introduction of frigate sized logistics ships.

So, how did CCP make things worse?

Confirming logi is good for small gangs Shocked

And that if you want logi, you somehow cant use a scimitar in a small gang?

Basically, ewar is an anti-force multiplier. By buffing it, ccp makes it easier for larger gangs to have 1-2 guys who can just shut down any small gang by pressing f1.

hmmm I dont get your point....

what do you call small gang PVP?

3-7 ships?

I would go with 2 logistics 3 DPS and 1 Ewar..... + someone to probe and size the enemy forces.

oh I got it, you want to use a small gang pvp fleet to kill a blob of 100 ships....or at last to kill 50% of them....

Please read these!

Please don't just rant, explain what problem you might have, and how to enhance it.

Small gang warfare is what disrupts large gang operations, waiting for a fleet to warp and then taking advantage of the few guys who failed to listen to the fc, who will then find themselves in a station. Small gang warfare can't be bested with just a blob, you need to have a co-ordinated effort to even catch them.

I see some wonderful changes comming in the winter expansion, and am really looking forward to them.

TL;DR use your words, don't just rant to the public.

Generally it's a good idea to actual include an idea or feature you'd like to see implemented instead of a blanket statement asking for a fix of something you could easily remedy yourself with a bit of thought.

Thread locked for ranting.
