EVE General Discussion

EWAR consists of offensive actions against targeted opponents, and the modules all have effective range. Same mechanics apply to remote reppers and transporters, only that you normally use these modules on your own buddies :)

Do you think system-wide leadership bonuses (those from the leadership skills, without any links) are also ridiculous and wrong?

But I ask again, is having a cloaked scout also wrong? It provides way more tangible benefits, and is completely indestructible?

At that point it would be better to remove gang links alltogether and refund the SP.



No that's just a compromise along the lines of "just a little off grid remote repping would be OK" and "neutral RR is OK as long as you don't use more than 1 or 2 reps".

All boosting ships were designed with on-grid boosting in mind, remove offgrid-boosting and you suddenly fix alot of problems, make boosting much more interesting, get dozens of combat pilots to train leadership and let fleets make some sensible decisions about boosts instead of just everyone tugging his cloaky booster behind him everywhere he goes.

That being said, Eos and Vulture could use some tweaks, but not T3 commands imo.








P.S: And I'm so tired of this "favors blobs" statement, it's simply not true. Off-grid boosts are not helping you fight outnumbered, they are just a convenient way to multibox some more pilots that you are too elite to openly show on the field.
The only moment where your OGB helps you fight a larger blob is when you have a booster because you like to powercreep your way to victory and your enemies somehow don't have one yet, because they lack skills or money. Which means you are fighting a group of noobtards that you should win against anyway, with or without booster.

But in a standard fight both sides will have their booster alt, and with the change both sides will have to devote one pilot to bringing the boosts on grid. So nothing changes.

As I've said many times, it will also let small gangs or solo players that had no access to OGB fight similarly sized gangs or other solo players that were previously impossible to take on due to having OGB.

So this is just as much an argument for the removal of OGB as it as an argument against the removal.

That's like saying, tracking disruption makes it pointless to have gunnery skills so turrets should be removed and SP refunded, which is ridiculous. If people want to invest the time to train up to have a bunch of SP in gang links, give people the 100,000 isk solution of 'screw your bonus'. Same scenario applies to training up to have a bunch of SP in anything then have someone come along with any of the other EWAR to deny you your advantages from your training.



Not even close to the same thing.

Before Rorquals, people just used a battlecruiser to run mining links. If they don't want to put a Rorqual on grid, they'll have to go back to that.

Well that would be another Kowtow of CCP to PvR faction (Player versus Roids...you get the idea)...and just unfair.

There are no small gangs or solo players without access to OGB.

That's the fault in your line of thinking.

Falcon is the Caldari recon ship, specializing in Electronic Counter Measures, a powerful type of electronic warfare. Maybe you are confused about what gang links are?

Just to clear it for you: Warfare Links are not EWAR or RR.

Bullshit. ECM is near worthless vs blobs, which is why its such a ****** mechanic.
