Anti Blob Modules

Eve has become the universe of the blob. I hope we get some modules that deal with blobs. I dont know what, or how they would be implemented but something would be nice.
PvP'ing against a blob, or in a blob is no fun.

EVE the sandbox do not limit the number of people to take part in any event. Cool

(hence they introduced lag Time Dilation as a mechanism people can kill the server blob)

Give us the Nova Bomb...
Let the Noobs of Highsec find the occasional "Holy Hand Grenade"...
and they will visit death and destruction upon the evil blobs and gatecamps which will vanish in a "flash".

As these ultimate weapons of Our Lady of Enema work their way into the "arses" of Zero,
SUBSCRIPTIONS WILL RISE as new players are incentivised to join Eve and celebrate the tears.

Only the truly strong in zero will be able to maintain anything larger than small holdings and the economy of Eve will be thrown into high gear as the need for isk and minerals rises to replace the losses.

Of course the response will be that "Nobody will build anything but Ibises with Nova Bombs then." But this shouldn't be the case if CCP sticks to the principle that EACH SHIP MUST HAVE PURPOSE... so perhaps you must have a Titan to maintain the Sovereignty markers.. and perhaps only Dreads should defend Titans.... and perhaps only Battleships to defend Dreads.... and so on down the line...

except that the occasional Nova Bomb comes along to keep the entire situation in balance no matter what the size of the alliance... Total war... total mayhem.. total PvP... AND RISING SUBSCRIPTIONS !

p.s. Definition of a Nova Bomb is a bomb that occasionally drops from special level 1 highsec missions that ONLY PAID SUBSCRIBERS may run. Said bomb would require little or no SP to utilize, could be launched from almost any ship, and would do massive amounts of damage to everything in a 250 to 300 klic radius, destroying almost any ship there, including the launching ship unless he warped away during its short fuse time.

if only there was a special ship class that in small numbers could annihilate blobs

perhaps it should be a t2 frigate with a cloak that allows you to launch "bombs" that cause bonused damage to anything in their area of effect, relative to signature radius

But pray tell, good sir, how does it counter the famous frigate blob.

The intention here is NOT to provide a new weapon requiring high SP... so T2 anything is out of the question.
The intention of the Nova Bomb is to provide the noobs a Hammer with which they can provide a constant force wearing down the existing Zero Empires. This will act as a counter to established numbers and resource monopolies. CCP can adjust their drop rate to keep them available in the game at a level that is just high enough to make blobs and gate camps risky business.

The Nova Bomb: Drop only, only battleships or cap ships have the needed CPU/PG to fit, can only be used once cause it's destroyed when used... and the ship it's on.
The result tho is like the old DD area effect. The bigger the ship it's fitted on, the more powerful the effect.

Here sanity, nice sanity.....THWOOK Got the bastard

I would like to see something that helps against blobs. Eve has become such a blob game, where is the small combat pvp gangs of the old days.
Try taking out a gang of 5-10 people and hit a blob of 200+ of AAA or Goonscum or any other alliances or corps that have grown in size, and pretty much control eve as we know it.
Stealth bombers? Are you people retarted. They are paper thin, and if its a big enough blob, you will get killed with a a doubt.

Not that I particularly agree with your post, but I do agree with your view on goons. I'd like to add though, that it's highly likely the parents of goon players wished they'd used contraception.

Oh, Mr. Tourette-Syndrome with the novabomb-tick, it´s been a while since i saw you drowning in your own little pink world, where there will be an item that offsets your incompetence in the game.

Sorry, we have already our own delusions of grandeur, we don´t need yours.Twisted

I got lost in thought... it was unfamiliar territory.

He was talking about ships and weapons that are already in-game and with around a dozen can take out hundreds of battleships in a few seconds. Better luck with your next post.

AOE dmg on popping is commonly used as anti-blob measure in other mmos. Even modest aoe, as in the case of Perpetuum, drastically limit blobbing. The tried and tested mechanic was shot down by CSM every time it was suggested, because it's effective, and CSM is elected by blobbers, for blobbers.Roll

You've never flown a bomber, have you.
