Hi ! :D

So many threads whining about the changes,
so i thought i'll give input to why i as -10 really like what's coming.

As some of you may know or not know (who cares, really) i'm the resident outlaw of Hek.
I'm not a pirate and i don't live in lowsec ... not populated enough for me to enjoy it.


Anyway, regarding the sentry changes ...


In a meta0 fitted and tanked thrasher i can get two volleys (rarely three)
at a gate/station before i get popped by the sentry turrets.

CONCORD mostly isn't fast enough to show up before i pop.


If the initial damage of these turrets is indeed smaller, i can...

.) Shoot all these loudmouthing cowards at station/gates, that hide behind CONCORD protection much more effectively.
.) Punish those more effectively that autopilot in frigates, to show them that highsec isn't as safe as they want to believe.
.) Potentially shoot more targets at once, because i got more time until my ship pops.
.) Probably can downgrade my frigate-fitting even more, hence i'll be able to spend even less money per kill.



Now on to CrimeWatch.

The CrimeWatch changes come down to a huge nerf of all the cowards running around in HighSec.
(sorry for the lowsec guys, but i'm sure the smart of you will adapt ... and the others won't be missed)


.) No more low self esteem idiots killing noobs to feed their bloated, but actually very small, ego.

.) No more cowards hiding behind CONCORD protection seeking "easy" kills by tackling outlaws/pirates
without *actually* achieving anything but still bragging about it. (the italic part is the actual issue).
Why this is an issue ? Because it means that i'll get more actual challenge, opposed to people running away
as soon as i can shoot them legally !

.) Those who coward out because of the possibility of being FFA (Free For All) will make room for the real men
that have no actual issue with being a target for everybody.


That's all i can think of now ... and i, as -10, approve all of these upcoming changes !



Good work CCP, nerf those cowards! :D

Thanks, i changed the post a bit.
I didn't see it as such, but your comment helped me realize that my words could be mistaken.
