EVE General Discussion

For the love of Dagoth Ur, to this day I have yet to see ONE person say "Drones still work" who doesn't immediately follow it with "My Dominix and sentries."

Get this through your thick potato looking Dominxi heads: There are other drone ships besides Dominix. There are other drones besides sentries. I don't give a frak how happy you are that the very AFK boat combo that CCP said they were fixing is now the only one that still works. I want to see to Dragoons, Arbitrators, Myrmidons, Gilas and Scorpions to get their usefulness back! I want to know that there is still more than one frikkin' ship combo that is still viable! And I never, ever want to hear some nitwit talk about how their stupid Dominix/sentries combo is still able to AFK through everything and that somehow this fact is supposed to make everything all better for everyone! I assure you that it does not.

"Manage your drones better" coming from a sentry using Domi pilot is the pinnacle of asinine, because you self-righteous turds don't have to manage drones at all - you just blap your remote repair on your little floating turrets and ignore incoming damage. For those who actually still send drones out past 1km from their ship are still watching their drones get insta-popped by broken AI mechanics that think that six battleships insta-locking and alpha striking light drones is just dandy... guess what? Things still suck.

When drones die to insta-lock and one-shot alpha strikes then "management" doesn't come into the picture. At all. At this point drones are nothing more than two seconds worth of aggro chaff.

"Use ECM to draw aggro" - So fix one broken game mechanic by exploiting another broken game mechanic? Brilliant! Well I guess that means CCP can go take the weekend off, now. Nothing needs to be fixed after all! Wow that was easy.

"Adapt/HTFU" - Thank you cookie cutter Tengu douche for the insightful bit of self-aggrandizing fluff that's as useless as your own testes. Next idiot, please?

Redacted personal attack and threats. -- ISD LackOfFaith

When the little red bars start to turn red, your drones are being shot.

It is not hard, if you are actually playing the game.

4. Be respectful of others at all times.
The purpose of the forum is to provide a platform for the exchange of ideas. Occasionally, there will be conflicts that arise when people voice opinions. Be courteous when disagreeing with others. It is possible to disagree without being insulting.

5. Ranting is prohibited
A rant is a long-winded, redundant post, often filled with angry, non-constructive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and helpful in the development of the game, but rants are disruptive and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise, clear manner and avoid going off on rambling tangents.

6. Personal attacks are prohibited.
Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another. Text of this nature is not beneficial to the community spirit and will not be tolerated. Corporation, faction and alliance members and other players are cautioned to avoid allowing “in character” disputes from becoming "out of character" personal attacks. The game is designed for role-playing and/or portraying a role and it is sometimes easy for tempers to flare when the lines between the virtual world and the real world are crossed. Please keep in-game disputes in the game and off the forum unless it is clearly a mutual, in-character exchange.

7. Trolling is prohibited.
Trolling is the word used to describe a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting the players. Posts of this nature are disruptive and do not contribute to the sense of community we want for our forums.

11. Immediate banning from the forum can result from any of the following:
The posting of pornography; discriminatory remarks which are sexually explicit, harmful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, obscene, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive; excessive obscene or vulgar language; posts which discuss or illustrate illegal activity; providing links to sites that contain any of the aforementioned.

20. Post constructively.
Negative feedback can be very useful, provided that it is presented in a civil, factual manner. Tell us what you don't like and why and how you feel it could be improved. Posts that are not constructive, insulting or rude may be deleted, no matter how valid the ideas behind them may be.
