EVE General Discussion

Harry:

Maybe the idea of Guerilla-style tactics referred to the EAF extended range, and the nerfed acceleration and agility of large ships relative to small ships, and the buffed inty.

Or the ability to ninja steal moon goon with the siphon modules.

Of course, that is just pure marketing garbage.
Small squads will still not be able inflict any real damage on the cartels, as even if they can tackle something big, by the time they can inflict enough damage on a large target to truly threaten it, the large target can still batphone for tons of support.

As for siphoning tons of moon goo from the cartels, you still have to be able to get in, and then get out. Many of the lucrative moons are well beyond any jump capabilities of ships, and even if they were in jump range, sorry, jumping a squad in of 10 billion worth of BLOP's is NOT what I would call Guerilla class tactics, or cost.

If CCP had followed through with moon goo ring mining, and the ability to ninja-mine a whole ring in short order, that would be more hurtful towards the cartels. But the cartels quashed that concept fast.

No, this release is just more of the same.
Null sec gets a bigger chunk of the high sec income, as they will quickly control all the lucrative planets in high sec.

I am still waiting for high sec T2 industry to be handed to null sec.
Then again, I figure now that the high sec POCO thing was just the first step.
Why ban T2 mfg in high sec when you are planning on making the high sec NPC stations conquerable, and after the summer release, the null sec cartels will control all the high sec mfg slots?

Shooting structures.

I think Harry has discovered the secret of our power

I feel fear in your words, POS Busters incoming, thats what I say

timebombs for asteroid fields, if you dockup I will plant mines all over your system, you guys finally will need to play

Masochism

Nah, it can't be that simple.

they just need to add mines and stuff, POS Busters and timebombs that we solo pilots can deploy, CCP clearly wants more dynamic happening, so we need tools to assure when alliances dockup that we can damager some stuff of them or plant some bombs or mines, a lot of things can be put into place, a complete arsenal of equipment

a timebomb put on an asteroid blowing up the miners or at least damaging them, if we get such kind of tools, alliances and nullbears would need to think about fighting us instead of just docking up

I'm 100% convinced we get some of this, because we solo pilots not in fear of anything will bring dynamic to the game, at the moment out there its all stagnating because of the big blocks, its boring for everybody, they hunting ships 30 vs. 1, most of the time I'm the only one out there in VFK, 1 vs. 100 goons docking at the station or ratting

with some timebombs and mines, the focus of the alliances will need to shift from lacyness to playing the game and protecting their systems, maybe even some war will emerge if we can sabotage stuff withing the CFC and assure they start fighting eachother because we hide the truth who did it....

there could be tools, like a device to showup on the overview as a CFC member altough you are not, then you start a war by bombing their stations...

Yeah.

Keep laughing as long as you can.

We also laughed when Harry declared war on us in this thread: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=3315230#post3315230

And now look what happened only several weeks later: http://evemaps.dotlan.net/alliance/Test_Alliance_Please_Ignore

Coincidence?

A winrar is you.

Recently we have seen a few people leave CCP that were instrumental in the attacks against high sec. Whether those positions are backfilled with more people of the same ilk is likely, but NOT set in stone. We have also seen a couple people hired from EA that are more far more likely interested in growing the subscription base as opposed to catering to the null sec cartels. (do you know how awful things have got that I consider EA exec's the saviours of Eve?)

If you put those things together, there is a small chance, albeit a tiny one, that if enough people like me continue to expose the underlying reasons for why the game is being destroyed for the majority of players, then maybe, just maybe, in the near future, the right person in power might read a post, look at the subscription rates, and say, "hey, this current model is nuts".

That is the day I dream of. When someone in a position of power says "No more, null sec cartels and your acolytes, no more. Your days of wrecking the game for your own gain is over."

And if that day comes, remote as the chances are, all the aggravation and abuse from dealing with the null sec cartel propaganda teams will be worth it.

One team creates potentially good stuff, another team gives a 3rd party a trillion isk in unique ships.
So let's not generalize.
