EVE General Discussion

CCP, you know your buff to carriers and fighters are broken right!
Like seriously, you cant be this dumb and one sides.
Buff to carriers(Fighters going over 10km, 2.3km with out the micro, perfect tracking, insane dps and volley), the upcoming link changes, and just the changes over the pasty year or to, have f**** small gang to the ground.
THanks foziee d*bag.

I agree with you, but, if links become what they are pushing for, it will be only the blobs having links, not smal gang pvp'ers who fight the blob. Can not comment on your situation.
I think they should just remove links period, and give sp back.
CARRIERS ARE OP AS F, AND THEY KNOW IT.

The carriers were broken before. Now ccp finaly did the right thing.

I mean, realistically speaking, in what world and with what physics can 3-4 boats sunk a CARRIER ?

Problem is that now 3-4 boats can take down a citadel :)

I thought I hated these forums, but eventually I learned that I love them.

On the day CCP releases a change that no one bitches about, I will be quite assured of EVE's demise.

Eve Online not equal to real life.

When folks dislike something they bring on the "it is not realistic" argument; when they like a change, the "ya know it's fantasy" card is on the table.

You better decide: is this the real life, is it just fantasy...


Btw why are the FAX MACHINES so BIG compared to regular carriers?

CCP have said that they want to "rebalance" capital and supercapital sizes along with the station/citadels to bring everything a bit more in line scale wise.

By that logic Stealth Bombers (submarines) should be the greatest threat in the game and IMPOSSIBLE to target for most other ships (except for Destroyers who should be OP against Stealth Bombers but suck against most other threats). See how lucky it is that EVE Online:s fantasy Spaceships are not based around Real Life Earths Naval Vessels.

In my opinion the best way to create balance in EVE is to look at the cost (ISK) for each 'Fleet'. In other words a Carrier should be able to take on a 'Fleet' of about simillar value and in order to bring one down the opposition should need to bring ships of a greater total ISK-value (and then expect to loose a few of them anyway).

Now the way it was before was that Carriers where Underpowered so perhaps CCP make the classical mistake of buffing them to much and if this is the case I'm sure they will continue to tweak the balance further. However I don´t think making these sort of threads called 'NERFFFF FFS' is the way to do it when there is a feedback thread to Citadels where one could post it instead.

Petition CCP to invent a submarine that can fly in space.
The reason submarines are a threat on sea is that they function in another environment (underwater ) where they can be almost undetectable. This is not the case here. There is no area around a carrier that cannot be reached by fighters. Wanna take down a carrier, then come prepared to destroy those. After that the carrier is defenseless and pretty low on hp.

Negating each and every subcap piloting tactic by creating carrier no fly zones is such an obvious terrible idea that i'm seriously puzzled how this went through. This is not engaging gameplay. The counter to massive ships should always be speed as in: Fast things outrun fighters.
