EVE General Discussion

The only thing you will change is making this mechanik unavailable for people who have a problem going suspect. And no you will not need to get a new omega account, every account has 3 char slots and you don't need your ganking char until you scanned something worthwile.

Fun fact:
I don't scann mining ships anymore because more often than not it spooks them and they usually dock up. Progress obviously and another victory for the New Order.

What are you basing this opinion on? CCP has specifically contradicted this idea in the past.

I think Ganking is very good for the game, and these anti-ganker types prove it.

First, it creates danger. Danger (whether people want to admit it or not) is why we are playing a video game about space, even though they pretend that what they really want is Comfort. Thing is, if people hated 'ganking', why do they keep playing here instead of the many MMOs that restrict that kind of behavior (even space theme'd games like Star Trek Online and now, Elite:Dangerous with it's private community mode)?

Secondly, it helps EVE by giving certain types of people something to hate. That's where these anti ganker folks come in, without ganking , would they just go on their merry way? Nope, they'd find something else to hate, because they need something to hate, it's part of their personalities.

Danger and something to hate, those are things that bind people to EVE Online, it's why these people don't go play other games as much as they play EVE despite the fact that all they do is complain about EVE and about how horrible 'griefers' are.

It's why I don't hate gankers even though when in high sec I take many precautions against the practice. I don't just need something to hate to feel like I'm alive, I'm happy killing NPCs (which i do hate, down with Sansha and his BS).

Also, TBH I appreciate the fact that gankers exist because in addition to riling up the kind of whiney, entitled, cluless players that I personally have no love for, they also enrage the holier than thou ,crusading, "will someone please think of the children" spaceship SJWs that I honestly cannot stand (I don't need to hate them to enjoy the game...but I'll admit, it's a nice bonus). So right there, gankers are improving my EVE experience

Just like your facts as well.

Dont do this.

Jonah, you atleast produce content, though I disagree with much of it.

Shae, howevevr is an outright recognized troll with nothing of value offered.

The "problem" if it's willing to be accepted as such is the amount of dps a destroyer can put out. To be honest it's a little broken. A destroyer like the catalyst can get near battleship levels of dps while having no tank. They are the only class of T1 ships to be so out of line; T1 ships have a fairly linear dps progression.

I suggest that destroyers in their initial concept lacked a focus on how they would be used against bigger ships. A destroyer is meant to be a frig killer, and with 7/8 guns it normally is very good in that role, but the amount of guns pushes it's dps way too high. For example the dps difference between cruisers and battlecruisers is fairly small but a BC will still beat a cruiser any day. I propose destroyers are looked at, the amount of guns reduced to say 4/5 and those slots given to mids and lows. This would keep a destroyer with more firepower than a frig, and give it a more solid tank too, keeping it in it's role as a frig counter. Ideally this would bring destroyer dps more in line with the other t1 hulls. The effect of this is it would take more catalysts for a gank, or bigger ships, skewing the cost of a gank on larger ships.

suicide ganking really has become ridiculous and is a big part of why EVE is such a joke of a game. Why doesn't risk vs reward apply to high sec pirates? Its even used as a griefer tactic since the costs/risks are so negligible.

Oh, it's all a conspiracy.
Makes perfect sense if you're a weak but hostile type. Also removes all agency and responsibility from you.
Not a problem with the game though, which has been shown and explained repeatedly.

Fact is the devs know that the way the CSM vote is rigged ensures only the big blocs get elected yet its not changed to ensure all players are represented.

CSM is a scam.

All of it is true and its relevent because its the reason they ignore the majority of players who dont gank or fap over sov / null and pander to the tiny majority who do.
