Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I dont like the idea of having absolutely no counter for hotdroppers. One option more (mobile cynojammer) is always better than one option less, dont you think?

Your point of view is very one-sided and your arguments are mostly valid for the opposite side aswell.

PS: Ever tried to fight gatecamper with equal forces instead of blobbing?

Yeah here we are again, just blob them more. Great idea!
Never read the forums where people stated, stop the god damned blobing? All you say is:"Trash your brain, just blob even more". This is no solution my dear.

It is the simple i win button thing. You don't want to lose it, that is all you are worried about, your point is clear now.
And it is their own fault from the people who are running in gatecamps, everyone and his dog knows to use a scout .

@Gizznitt Malikite: I like the Idea

@Robert Caldera: Why are you so scared to use more than 1 Ship for Blobing or use a good Tactic (with some Brain)? Blobbing would not be impossible.... Its just the Risk that would be increased if the Blob want to avoid the Fight.

But it also will make Hotdropping more riskful and require more Teamwork. I dont think that there is a difference between one ship jumping into a gatecamp or 4. Usually a Gatecamp has much more ships (Especially in Lowsec because of the Gatefire). And 4 Ships can look dump too. Just take 1 Harb, 1 Drake, 1 Hurricane,1 Brutix together (without Logistics).

It is more Riskful. If you let one Ship Die or 4 is a Difference.

Why call evenews, it is something everyone knows and everyone but you hates. So it is something worth to get ideas together to avoid that this tactics are better than anything else.

Your posts are irrational and without any arguments like most posts in this forums, thanks.

Hot dropping is not an absolute, or an I win button.

If you are flying a high sec fit in null or low security space, and lack proper support, you are inviting disaster.

Pirate hulls, Hulks, Marauders... these are things to use with caution. They are expensive gank bait, and if you field them outside of high sec you are challenging others to catch you.

News Flash: If you don't have proper support, or unusual amounts of luck, you are exactly what that hot drop wants to find.
You are the funny story they will repost on their corp or alliance forums, with links to your killmail.

And you deserve it for not doing what they did, and I am not talking about the hot drop itself.
I am talking about the teamwork, the working together as a group in the part of space designed for exactly that.

A hot drop is deterred when they see enough ships to threaten them. For every ship potentially fleeted together, common sense tells that the chances of more ships showing up gets higher.

And if they do risk it, bam, there is your fleet on fleet action.

denying reality isnt gonna help you anywhere.
Force multipliers (as proposed counter to blobs) arent very popular among people. People tend to repeat good sounding phrases (complaints about blobbing), in the same time they used to even more dislike link alts, falcons or logistics. You seem to be a very naive and unexperienced person in this game but in countless times I had the experience of fights being evaded due to the presence of some of said force multiplying ship types in the opposite gang, despite of its smaller size.

So let's say you managed to take out the cyno boat before it popped the cyno and let it's team in.

There fore no cyno was successful, and no additional ships arrived.

Please explain how you were at risk when you beat that cyno boat. You can't have it both ways.
You either were at risk due to an enemy fleet showing up, or you weren't.

It's not much of a threat if you beat it that easily.
