Seems silly we should fear using the best ship for the job lest it be nerfed. Like saying "Oh you use a drake to solo c2's? Man you're just asking for trouble, you'd better be more creative than that..."


You'd be better off using something that stands up to pvp.

you can easily gank miners still, despite what whiners claim, it just isn't profitable anymore ( as it should be) unless they fit weird fits.


You do know that just about any subcap can be ganked for profit right now if they fit no tank right?

Yes, I mean you, Bob.

What's going on? Let me break it down for you.

EVE is a sandbox. What does this mean? It means that you have people, and sand, in close proximity.

Boom. People's heads, buried in sand, hiding from the 'evildoers'. That's why people like mining, it gives them that comforting feeling of burrowing into the ground, neck deep, upside down. So warm, and cozy, and suffocating, and blinding.

I'm sure you meant something by this, but I would dial down your meds...it really doesn't make much sense....Oops

Over your head? Try taking it out of the sand :)

I'll put it in plain english: you asked why people were ignorant of the truth. I answered you--because they prefer it that way, as they have for the last 100,000 years. The rest was just a joke on how your question was ironic, in that the answer to your question could also be put forth as the reason that you asked your question. Simple enough?

How could you possibly nerf a catalyst? What?

Kill the refire bonus, give it a tracking bonus?
It is no longer effective at breaking barge tanks.

I'm sure CCP can do better if they decide they need to.

Lots of miners like that. They never make it to kill mails because they are ignored.
