Warfare & Tactics

yey

Can't wait until they go on grid too.

And I have carefully thought about a response to people who are angry about the changes: can I have your stuff?

IMO this is the best part of the thread.

Cap Pilot, Indy alt, Logistics alt, scout alt, Market Alt, incursion alt, ....

Gee, if only there were other aspects of EvE beyond OGB'ing that you could explore with that character...

I agree.

So what about the POS dwelling low sec titans that are bridging gangs onto solo low sec targets all the time sitting in POS all day too?

By his own logic that should be considered, no? (not trying to derail this thread at all)

Ive been using boosters for bloody ages, noticeably when i ran the take Auga campaign well before inferno - not because i wanted to, but because i had to to stay competitive with the enemy. Sweeeeeet dont have to boost while i boost to boost!

solo and small gang ^5 o/

at least there seems to be enough reduction on tackle range which has been biggest 'problem'

but i am not sure if adding more rep amount is good, even now some ships can rep too much compared to damage same size ships does and that is and will be without links.

one thing was odd on command ship changes, gallente command ships do not get anymore bonus for informations links. Some how breaks immersion !

Yeah the cockbag thrasher gate camps are going to be harder to get past.

The OGB'ing boosting and non pos sitting is great.

Don't know much about CS's as I've never flown them or with them much, this may well get them out there more vOv

The local reps is another polarising one IMO some people think it's the best thing ever some will hate it till the ends of the earth.
In med/small ship combat reps are constrained mainly by cap requirements and local reps are often replaced by buffer fits due to this.
In some of the already tanky ships (incursus for eg) I don't think it will make much difference as you generally cannot 'break' the tank on these ships/fits unless you completely overwhelm them with numbers/dps etc but you can pretty easily beat them with tactics around damage mitigation and cap warfare.

TBH I like that local reps are getting a boost. Not sure if 15% is too much or too little as this will have to play out a bit while the meta settles. I am glad to see amour get more of a boost than shield though.

Should be interesting to see how it pans out regardless.

LOL Even I don't know what I'll be flying until the moment I dock up and see what takes my fancy.

The ships with an active tank bonus (incursus & breacher, I think these are the only frig with that bonus?!) will be very tough granted but the cap on them is aweful meaning they have to modify their fit to assist in cap or dramatically reduce the time they are able to tank for. Most dual rep incursus forego the web in favour of a cap booster giving up any form of range control etc and if you someone like me who flys all sorts of stuff you get them to bring cap warfare ships along.

Or if you want to stay within the realms of FW sides fly some amarr frigs once in a while as a fair few of them have utility slots for that kind of thing, and don't forget the rocket/neuting condor that is cap stable :)


Overall I feel active local tanking has been needing something of this for a while but like most things it may make or break depending on how it pans out on TQ. I know I'll be having fun in my armour ships with it
