Like most things players want, it seems to be missing in this expansion. But we can still hope.

I'm sorry for you after realizing the highlight of your day is rehashing some canned insult after repeatedly reloading forums to get first post on a thread.

Yup this is only the first release after all.

I'm hoping for ship balancing in Inferno 1.2 :3

For a goon troll, that was incredibly weak.

You can boost while cloaked? Hm interesting.

You mean the warfare links, right? Or do just the skill ones work when cloaked?

I think he might be getting confused between AFK cloaking and offgrid boosting.

Bash the OP if you want for the mention of the non-existent "off-grid cloaky boosting", but the issue remains that off-grid boosting was not addressed at all in Inferno. Very little risk (none, if there's a POS involved), and a ton of reward. It should be addressed ASAP.

Indeed I incorrectly thought boosting while cloaked worked, but off grid boosting remains the major unbalance in small fights.

OP - didn't realize you could use a cloak at the same time as command boost modules.

Oh, that's right, you can't?
Please fix your initial premise as it makes you look silly.

Nothing clever at this time.

I like to afk cloak, I need to do that more.

If you'd look around a bit on SiSi you'd understand that currently it's all hands on deck, with only days to go and still quite a few of the major Inferno updates being still a mess.

And while I totally agree on getting rid of off-grid boosting, its impact alone will force CCP to put a lot of effort into this.

If only there was some way to counter off-grid boosters with your own off-grid boosters. Like, when your enemy has an off-grid booster providing off-grid boosts to his fleet, it should be possible for you to have your own off-grid booster providing off-grid boosts to your own fleet. There's gotta be a way...

Make this happen CCP!

This is unacceptable. I am unsubscribing my six accounts until CCP nerfs the ability to run warfare links while cloaked.

I wrote some true EVE stories! And no, they're not of the generic "my 0.0 alliance had lots of 0.0 fleets and took a lot of 0.0 space" sort. Check them out here:

This is exactly the problem. The bar is raised to play the game in a competitive manner. When you engage a drake in a cane, thinking it would be a fair fight, only to find yourself scrammed from 40km away it is giving too much of an advantadge. The result is that people are forced to dual box only to remain competitive.

If they don't dual box the game becomes less enjoyable and they're less likely to play. Hence the years-long trend of falling average online users. Lowering the bar for competitive play and making it more accessible benefits almost everyone and means more people are likely to play the game.

CCP prefers you "counter" with making an alt booster account, instead of them "counter" by way of nerf which prompts the other side to ditch their alt booster account. The former results in +1 accounts, the later -1, net difference of 2 monthly subscription fees.

Alternate proposal:
You pay CCP 2 extra monthly subscriptions, granting you the ability of nullifying enemy booster.Big smile

Spend a PLEX to nullify all boosts that are not on grid with yourself? I would definitely do that Big smile
