Player Features and Ideas Discussion

So the point I am trying to make is I hate warp core stabed t1 frigs running sites in my local lowsec neighbourhood. And when I do get to catch them. If am lucky enough to get a lock on them, They still manage to warp off due to warp core stabs. Makes me have sad face. I have done all the work to

1, Scan them down.
2, get a ship that is fast enough to lock them before they warp away(a frig of my own).

But still no PvP.

Now the some folks here will say. Fit more Scrams. Well you could do that. But then you gimp your ship for tank or other e-war mods. No point going into PvP if you gimp your fit. Remember. Not all t1 frigs in theses sites are WCS fitted. Some of them are proper combat fit. They are there to bate you (and that is cool - Just don't see it much). You will never know until it is to late. Some will say. Get a bigger ship and just blap them. Yes, But running around in lowsec with anything bigger than a destroyer will lead to you dieing to gate camps. And again, You have to gimp your fit for the one hope that you might get a lock before they warp away. Seems far to much risk just to kill one warp core stabbed frig.


So my idea is to add a extra stat to the warp core stabilizer.

Add -80% to virus strength of ships for Hacking/Analysing

This will make it undesirable to fit Warp Core Stabilizers to ships as it will hurt the chances of actually successfully Hacking/Analysing an expo site. Yet sill keeps the main goal of what Warp Core Stabilizers do. This will mean that folks can still have that escape root. But it will hurt them for running the sites. It's all about the risk/reward. Right now. It is still low risk ruining sites in lowsec (same can be said for high sec). This is not so much of an issue in 0.0 and wormhole space as you could use a dictor bubble to catch them.

Anyway. That's my idea.

Flame suit on.

Oh I am very bad,.

And to a point you are right. But again., I say look a risk reward. The risk I run to PvP in the site compared to the Risk/Reward for a warp core stabbed t1 frig is way out of balance.

in my caracal i blow up ventures all day erry day before they can even align.



Using HAMS
shouldn't be very hard to do the same to a covops.

i am somewhat tempted to buy a black ops fit with smartbombs and wait for someone to show up.

0/10

I support this sentiment fully

+1

The advantage should always go to the attackee, not the attacker. Thus with every factor equal, the attackee should escape the grips of the attacker. I believe your idea here would give an advantage to the attacker.

Frigates that are being used to intercept are not meant to be able to hold off any other frigate from warping out. They are meant to have a better chance of it. They are meant to hold off cruisers and above perhaps on a consistent basis.

I vote no. Find prey that haven't fitted themselves for the sole purpose of being able to escape. That is why they are able to escape...

You should try the Mini-game before making suggestions as -80% Strength kills any chance of completing a site.

Maybe CCP should just make it that when someone jumps into LS they are instantly blown up and podded and all "real" PVP'ers in the system get a KM. Then you really don't have to do anything.

lol, Any how many have you killing in a lowsec expo site? Not many that's for sure.
