EVE General Discussion

This equation involves much much more than a fight with identical ships. Honestly a fight like that would never happen considering every pilot would need to have identical skill points, identical intelligence, identical velocity, identical timing to lock onto targets and fire when told, identical field positioning, and identical implants. Do you understand the odds of all of these things being identical??????

OGBs are one of the many tools solo pvpers have at their disposal. The most important alt in all of eve is actually a scouting alt. Before a solo pvper even makes their presence known they have already laid their eyes upon you and did their homework. A good solo pvper doesnt require on boosts to get kills. A good solo pvper knows when to fight and when not to fight. Knowing someones age, previous corp history, past losses, and associated FCs can really sum up a pilot.

Next time you get in a fight with a good player do not think it happened by chance. They knew what they were doing and wanted it that way. OGB is this years excuse as to why a bunch of misinformed pvpers died to informed pvpers. Last year it was logi and ecm.

Eventually my logic will set in to your brain. Either you will accept it and stop posting or you will continue to post in spite of me.

Stabber (quick cruiser) vs. thorax (armor tanked cruiser, supposedly slower) thorax ends up being faster then stabber b/c OGB.

Any solo maulus/condor/hookbill pilot w/ OGB attacking basically any cruiser makes it impossible to even attempt the sling, even on a quick ship

Armor SFIs OH'ing faster then Cyna's base

T3's with enormous point ranges and web ranges with ridiculous speed engaging small-gangs and raping total face

These situations go on and on. OGB gives pay to win players more pay to win without risking any on-grid assets. It's broken, it breaks solo/small gang, and it should be removed

Its the pilot that matters, not the ship.

Next

Why not make boosts scale with distance from the fleet? On grid get a nice fat bonus, off grid gives a much smaller one. Greater risk is rewarded. Then buff command ships to make them a pita to kill, with obviously reduced offensive capabilities.

I say edgy stuff I actually don't believe and sign my posts too.

Actually I do not think pvp gangs have a problem with on-grid boosting. Even in fields like gate camping it does not make a big difference ...just one more interaction to warp the booster on grid.
Bring it on.

"Solo" pilots and faction warefare probably will be nerfed by ongrid boosting...and of course miners in 0.0 should park one or two ecm - burst scorps next to their orcas in the belts (normal tacklers) and scouts in the surrounding systems...

Your comprehension level is extremely low.

Boosts on their own do not win a fight or lose one. I was getting to the point that to an extent the better pilot will win every time if he wants to.

Everyone here is talking about boosts like they make a ship invincible. Are these losses of your so close that the added 10,000 ehp of theirs destroyed your entire fleet? That the 10k extra point range kept your entire fleet tackled even though you were winning? People, boosts dont increase DPS or intelligence.

Actually it is excellent because I am fully comprehending your posts to the extent that I can see that you are trying to articulate a fundamentally incorrect point.

Were this true, the current climate wouldn't be, "OGB or don't bother". Which it is.

It's not defensible. If, as you say, skill and pilots make the difference, then you shouldn't be bothered by losing it.

But, if the reverse is true, and OGB provides a large advantage to whomever has it, then it's mandatory and both sides should be assumed to have it all the time. And the side that doesn't manage that now mandatory requirement, loses.

Either way it's a broken mechanic that cannot be allowed to continue.

"Good gameplay isn't actually the priority."
