EVE General Discussion

I'm surpirsed no one is talking about this, but to me this seems like one of the biggest changes they can do...



So what does this mean actually? That small groups can wreck havock on the large alliances now?

Does this mean less blob tactics or that smaller fleets can hurt moon or sov?

Perhaps they're just talking about it in the official thread, since every other thread gets locked?

I hope so that may pull me out of the WH space and back to pvping

Faster warps for smaller ships and inties immune to bubbles. Vive La Revolution!

Who cares about their 237th attempt at making blobs/capitals less of an iWin button when this is also on the feature page!,

Player built stargates .. now there is something worth talking about!

deployable anti-cyno. not perfect, but it'll have an effect.

Judging by the number of AFK-cloak whine threads, I thought they already could.

Not that I'm against this, but doesn't it already exists? Bombers epitomize hit-and-run tactics, as well as high alpha ships. Ambushes are very common in the form of gate camps, and cloaked ships are absolutely deadly.

What you didn't want to fall for upgraded bombers and gate camping?

Result: You now have to log in on an alt parked in each pos every couple of hours to check for siphons. Entertaining gameplay for the defender.

What does it look like for the attacker? Log in a blockade runner. Drop siphon. Safe up and log off. Check every two hours and empty into cargo. Make a drop off run when full.

How much could you possibly hope to steal in a two hour session? Solo not much, the opportunity may be there if you hit multiple locations with a coordinated blops gang. But given effort of multiple people and the high value stuff you are putting at risk, will you be able to steal enough to make it worth it? Logoffski covert cyno alt in camped system, another cyno alt for the trip out, blops and blockade runner would be the needed setup. And systems within single jump range are more likely to be patrolled.

What you're more likely to do, is run something like this when you start looking for people to covert drop on. Place siphons go about your business for a couple hours, then pick them up on the way out if you didn't die. That sounds a little more entertaining. Or drop a bunch of these as bait, when you want to actually fight the blob that comes to remove them.
