Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Clockwork Pinapples, not just Groon. You had around 400-500 people on paper back then, Noway was never well above 400. Or do you really want to compare active players? In this case, the statistics show the same pattern: We against the rest. I also do not see why people should welp a not properly set up fleet into a hard counter outside our station when they had at least one PSYCHO cyno with them and their caps on standby. There are welps when fight go wrong and then there are welps which only stupid FCs start for no reason because they want to undock and then complain about losses. I rather enjoyed being mostly in the first camp with Noway. So, could you please stop trying to use numbers to salvage whatever you have of your points?
We were not booted out. We left on our own terms after Phoebe (for whatever reason, I still don't get why we went for Uemon and Etherium. I think finding fights was the goal, but finding fights in Sov Null except for Provi was back then and still is a contradiction in itself. vOv) and then basically folded as corps left for other alliances. If we had made us immune by collecting more blue friends, we would have just dried out that pond even further than what CFC and other entities there already had drained due to their presence, and would have had no activity at all. We maintained our opponents like a little zoo that sometimes went out of hand and created very nice fights. We never intended to create a comfort zone, we never tried to blue up Syndicate to be safe. This was never our plan and the then and now CFC is the best example why we did not do that. So, please stop trying to compare us to CFC. It is a disgusting insult.

What do you mean? I am talking about conflicts, not fights in the first quote. Now we here in Catch have activity and some kind of conflict sparked by ELs. We have bigger battles here and there but most of the time the ratters in whatever area just dock up (naturally) and throw some ridiculous fleet at you that's suitable for invading a region, not for creating fights. Or places that Triumvirate talked about a couple of pages prior, they also have battles, but nothing for the size of Noway back then.
The second quote also relates to back then. Not now. Back when Dominion was still in place. Noway wanted to find fights as an outsider, a third party thing in an area that didn't need third parties as small as we were back then. There was nothing to do or what was there was too big for us. Nowadays, most of Sov Null sec is still empty, you roam around empty systems and have very little to do.

so looks like cfc have failed miserably at their goal of taking provi and not giving any fights

once again this proves that troll ceptors alone don't work.

We have an off topic post about Groon/A Clockwork Pinapple.
Another post about restricting what ships the entosis link can be on.
A post stating the obvious.

Nothing new is being presented.

Wise old Goon says ... "why have one backbone, when you can have 40,000"

Neither is a super-coalition steamrolling all over a region creating 94 timers in one night, especially not when you take into consideration that soon enough a lot of your assets will be in a destructible structures.

Solo interceptor is a roamer, not a sov contest fleet, thus having NOTHING to do with goals or fozziesov itself.
Please clarify what are you crying about: Roamers, or the fact you now have to react on a mighty 90 dps threat who just tackled itself on your station?

When was the plan ever to steamroll with interceptors? WTF have you guys been smoking? We've been stating over and over that interceptors demand a response yet can't take sov solo. The problem is that the vast majority of "attacks" in null are now just one guy in an interceptor running away. That doesn't mean that when we actually attack region with the intention of actually finishing the timers that we are going to do so in interceptors, lol.

The biggest thing provi have going for them is their high ADM meaning some of the windows are pretty small and the initial assault takes a bit of time. 38% of the regions timers in one night though isn't bad going.

it's amazing how the tune is changing after one night :D

Sadly though. That is exactly the game CCP is designing.
