Bubbles are really, really dumb.

We've been using 10,000 man interceptor fleets to take down IHUBS and large POSes. It's worked out really well so far.

Maybe all the terrible pilots who can't wrap their heads around countering intie gangs should take an intie roam down to providence to see how people who aren't useless shitlords manage to actually defend their space and do a pretty solid job of it too.

friend i guess trying to theory craft a way to counter ceptos by all mean keep on like cfc and goons usually do and cry till u nerf it... GG

and btw if u cant defend ur space against interceptors... u have issues

-AN OPEN LETTER TO CFC AND GOONS; From A lowly Sniggwaffle.-

Dear CFC and Goons,

As an unofficial, but highly sympathetic, representative of Sniggwaffe, and Waffles. Alliance, I would like to sincerely apologize for our 200 man corp ruining your EVE experience. Our brazen acts of ruining your "fun" and harassing your miners and AFKTars is not what we had originally hoped to do so many months ago. The continued use of these tactics is completely cowardly and is ruining the game.

To this end, I have petitioned the leadership of our much-too-powerful Alliance to ban all use of Interceptors in null sec as it is not E-honourable. I have also written a report documenting why the use of AFK 'Cloaky' camping is a game-breaking exploit. I am sure many of my fellow Sniggwaffe members, and the Alliance directors will come to see that this type of tactic should be banned throughout eve as being "not very fun."

We, specifically myself, hope that the weak and defenseless CFC, especially the Goons, get the retribution they deserve. EVE should not be a place where anyone in High, Low, or Null sec should be forced to PVP in unbalanced and unfair situations. An EVE where pilots are left without a way to defend themselves, are forced to die alone, and have no recourse against the aggressors is not an EVE I would want to play in. Perhaps one day CCP will wake-up and realize that this 'sandbox' they've created is a place where people are free to do whatever they want willy-nilly much to the detriment of the players who wish to ignore the social structure that EVE is supposedly based on.

Sincerely,
Georgik Sojik.

PS - Good Luck with Burn Jita III

In fact I did not talk about really losing the SOV, but the fact that we were not able to stop hostiles to go through our SOV. There is nearly no way even with a good fleet to stop a inty fleet.

Perharps it is a good thing but I don't like the idea that someone can fly a ship and dumbly fly gate to gate in all Eve with no risk.

No jango, I don't mind losing some Ishtars while farming I lost them because I was not paying attention or because I took to much risks. But I farm far more ISK than I lose while farming.

Here is my killboard because your link doesn't work

And it is only one of my 5 pvp characters ;-)

My problem is the fact that it is impossible to force inty fleets to engage. You must bait them.

If you are cautious there is no risk to fly an inty fleet. You just have to engage ships that cannot fight back. A thrasher fleet will just have no way to engage... The inties will see them and move away...

Perharps it is a good thing for this game. But I don't think that a gameplay that is so easy is ok. There is nearly nothing else today.

Goons are roaming in inties too. No fight only ganks of farmers everywhere... So Eve it is that?

Very adequate depiction of the situation. Not just for CFC, but for a lot of Sov Holders.

And by the way, my alliance recently had a ceptor roam through Drone Lands. We landed in Spears of Destiny space and they managed to muster a good defensive fleet in minutes and cause us some trouble. We also have had a couple of Ceptor fleets though Guri Land and even there they managed muster a defensive fleet with Talwars and fast locking ceptors. ALL your points against Nullification of ceptors and T3 are moot. Absolutely invalid. Now learn to play or leave Syndicate and go back to Deklein under the cover of your intel network.

Only so much to it: If your only option for not getting caught by ceptor fleets is to stay at your keyboard and actively watch intel and local or to actively camp a gate and don't go afk for prolonged periods of time, it's a good thing. YOUR lot demands the constant presence at the keyboard from miners and other PVEers and supports such demands in High sec, so heed your own standards in YOUR High sec.



Yes, that's EVE in a lot of places. It is what YOUR coalition has made of EVE. Don't complain about YOUR achievements. And I absolutely don't care about if you were personally involved in achieving this; you are in a corp that is part of CFC and you therefore support and continue to evolve this gameplay. Only your lot is to blame for this kind of evolution. Now deal with it.

And no: Selective Bubbles are ABSOLUTELY NOT the solution to nullification. Nullification has its roles and counters, Nullification is fine. Only the players need to adapt, and the rest of the game HAS adapted and likes these tools of havoc and destruction. It is about time that you do as well.

i found ppl afk in tengu in anom in deklain multiple time.. one time i even manage to kill a afk tengu with a purifier...

there are hundreds of ishtar and vexor navy issue with caldari navy wasp drones fitted with 100 mn ab rating guristas forsaken hub every where in dekalain .. some ppl rat with carriers and they even bother to warp to a pos or stataion even they see u in local
