Goons without tech would be more interesting. They would have to play the game the way the rest of us do.


Giving goons credit is embarrassing, for the last 24 months however, they have been advocating a Tech nerf.


yes we have

the point is to get pubbies to be against a tech nerf because it's the ~goon agenda~

Its funney they are making a war expansion but no one can afford to lose a ship. Should i continue to wait out the high prices or just play with ships i have to grind longer for?




It's called "the end of stupid ship loss".

Fly smarter not harder.

I didn't login for 7 months and upon returning found some ship prices inflated by 60% (obelisk: 680m => 1100m). Game becomes less suitable for casual hi-sec players whos income isn't based on interactions with other players - i.e. missioners.

Oh yeah as if you need trillions isk for your expenses if you just intend to casually log in in hi sec.

PL, NC., Ev0ke and the rest might be interested in talking with you about them being goons ...

Ahh, I love the goon conspiracy theories you get popping up on these forums.

I swear if high sec miners put half the creativity they put into coming up with goon conspiracy theories, into actually going through with conspiracies of their own, then they'd be the most powerful force in Eve.

Wow, quoting the opinions of two different people, to show that they differ. There was much point to this post.

Advocating is just for show. Do you see any nerf coming this expansion ???

the more sensible players (i.e. those who don't hide behind NPC alts) believe that the tech nerf needs to be accomplished in a way that doesn't simply make another moon mineral the new bottleneck

personally I feel that ytterbium's ship balancing thing should lead to the currently underused T2 hulls (i.e. those that are not amarr/minmatar) being viable PvP platforms, allowing for T2 production to be reworked to depend on racial moon minerals to produce components for individual racial T2 hulls, balancing the demand for racial R32 minerals

basically death2bottlenecks

It's a game. Games are fun when all players agree on the rules.
Rules agreed on. Game on!

There are good ships,

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

But the best ships are Spaceships

You can't have meaningful wars without *someone* losing their ships, no matter how hard or smart they're flying.
Shame they never got around to buffing T1 cruisers, now would be their time to shine.

Didn't Goons lose all their moons a while back? And then took them back again later?

The biggest issue I see with price inflation is it creates a barrier for entry for newer entities vs older, more established ones which already have a few hundred billion (or trillion) in ships and assets.

There are of course some strategies to compete; stealth bomber wings used against Tier 3 / Battleship gangs, but ultimately it's going to come down to conventional warfare where the change in situations means that one group has become embedded, where as the other has had a penalty placed upon them.

The same goes for new players wanting to try new parts of the game; with even T1 cruisers costing more, and god forbid a level 3 missioning battlecruiser, I don't see how runaway inflation is positive.

Good.

This will combat game inflation.



No... it won't... it's not an isk sink...


Give it up Selinate. People have been trying and failing to beat that through thick heads for 9 years.
