EVE General Discussion

So what you're saying is that people don't want to put too much effort into a game they play for fun. What's the problem with that?

What I'm saying is that the current mechanics don't make it necessary or useful to put in the effort. An appropriate rebalance would steer people in that direction.

1. And yet here you are, having lost an expensive ship to a horde of Catalysts which can't cloak and can't hide in Local. Your solution to this loss is to change the game mechanics so that you can continue to operate blind to your own immediate surroundings. Was this the sort of "great" advice you're advocating?


2. I disagree, CCP disagrees, your topic is locked and long gone. Use F&I if you'd like.. the forum is there for this exact purpose.


3. Freighters pop largely because pilots are lazy. I like laziness as the primary cause of freighter death in hisec. I don't know what 'dps' means as a cause. Did the freighter just magically place itself within shooting distance of a bunch of guns? I think you should step back a little and take a look at the set of circumstances that bring a gank together, not just how many DPS or EHP one ship or another has. Your DPS/EHP diatribe also demonstrates a lack of understanding for the complex balancing work CCP does.


4. I disagree, CCP disagrees, see my point number two.

Ok, its late and this conversation is kind of stale. I don't think we are communicating here. Last post on this tonight.

1. Read more carefully next time. I, as always, did not lose my ship. The unique circumstances there were unfortunate. And yes, I do believe it should be harder to kill my expensive combat battleship.

2. Topic is not locked - see my extensive contributions to the bumping thread. I am advocating for positive change.

3. Whatever. I would nerf the bumping trick and also nerf freighter ehp. Problem solved.

4. Actually CCP agrees, my post was defending their allowing 1 man corps to dodge wardeccs. So...well... another FAIL

Don't worry, it took me about 5 minutes to realize that I wasn't getting anything useful from your comments and it was time to stop listening. I remain very happy with the way I play the game. Thanks.

The effort put into executing any type of gank is an exponential factor of effort that the gank target puts in. The quality of the target's fit is pretty much irrelevant.

Fine, maybe it was unfair of me to start attacking other posts of yours out of context. I think you can agree that your fundamental views on hisec are quite antithetical to the views some others in thread support?

Well, that's fair enough. I definitely have deep disagreements with Remiel, Kauuros, Baltec1, etc....

You know that you can narrow dscan down to 15 degrees and that dscan range is centred on camera angle and has nothing to do with where you are heading. In a 20 sec warp a well practised pilot can dscan 5 incursion sites.

Let me tell you about your mistake OP:

You're putting that 22 billion ISK Marauder in a gankable situation.

If you want it to survive, put it somewhere else. A place where all those destroyers are blown up 9 jumps before they even get close to where you and that shiny are. Because there's dudes going all wild screaming "TARGETS!" and "KILLMAILS!"
