No, we are now completely destitute, because Makalu, in his infinite wisdom, saw our great weakness, and has ordered the primary of rifters ever since. We are now all out. Now would be the perfect time for -A- to drop more supers in our home system.

Maybe they need to buff Makalu, given the current power imbalance? Smile

Ugh these threads. They never stop. Nerf ogb or dont. I use boosters exclusively becausei tend to fight solo against blobs of nubs. Think 1 vs 30+. Anyways my booster is neutral which is great for high sec. I guess most people are talking about null or low which i dont care about. Low is fun, null is full of retards who only know how to aapproach and press f1. No ability to adapt or quit using ****** ships (BCs). But i like eve players either lack of knowledge or either poorness to adapt to situation . It keeps me on top.

Because of all the fuss i have started training for a command ship for my loki booster tho. If you think they are a prob now wait until you have a 100mn command ship zipping around at 2-3km/s 400km from a fight. Enjoy probing that when you land he will be out of range yet again.

Hell i bet you could even 100mn mwd one. My bumping fleet stabber is cap stable with one and goes 15km/s

There you go. Adapting. Smile Eve player ingenuity at work. Although don't put all your eggs in the oversized afterburner basket either as it could get nerfedP

We don't need 20 pages of people upset and hoping against hope to convince CCP that a near unprobable (and for a while was unprobable) boosting ship 50 au away is good for the game. They've been saying for years, even before the tech IIIs, that they didn't like off-grid boosting (which at the time was only a pos'd up command ship). The game is about risking your ship in a battle and the thrill that provides. If you want an alt to have a part in the battle, it will be doing the same. Dual boxing in the battle is a challenge, and doubly a thrill.Smile Many people have been doing it for years.

I hope they dont nerf oversize ABing its been in game since the beginning its just t3s that reallybrought a spotlight to it . Also its the only thing that gives you workable speed in a combat situation. Plus no sig radius penalty is key. As of now fitting ABs are ******** they dont give enough speed and have no bonus vs webs. Which is what they will need to be viable should this get nerfed. Dont get me wrong i can still get a gistum a 10mn to 2+km/s but id rather not take that route. If they implement a bonus for ABs having a reduction on web % in conjunction with an oversized AB nerf that would be fun and interesting.

Complaining is irrelevant. It's just volume, that only matters in putting weight behind the actual arguments between the different sides. What really matters is those arguments and your ability to argue reasonably for or against any change to the mechanic. If all you manage to do is spout vague fearmongering in response to the arguments of your opponents, expect to lose the argument and CCP to side with your opposition.
