EVE General Discussion

(/Me sings) Hit the road, IWINBUTTON!!111!!, and dont'cha be comin' back no more, no more, no more, no more!

CCP has proven yet again that they are no better than other modern game corporations, lurching forward without any finesse or sense of elegance.

The changes to Supercarriers, which now are nearly set in stone, are hilariously bad.

The changes do nothing to address the issue of super-blobbing. By taking away all small drones, CCP has now made solo or small groups of Supercarriers totally non-viable. The only possible use for Supercarriers is now in massive megablobs of other Supers, which only a handful of alliances/coalitions can field.

Anyone who attempts to use Supercarriers for small hot drops, small scale structure bashes, or other such non-blob work will be caught with their pants down and dragged to to a bloody and gruesome death.

The infinite log-off timer is another example of just how blunt and confused CCP's actions have become. Certainly logoffski was ridiculous with supers. But the new alternative, being held down for 23 hours by an Ibis, is equally silly.

Supercap pilots thinking with a full set of marbles are now heavily incentivesed to join the largest alliance they can find. This will only make Super blobs worse.

Finally, these changes mean that Supers will be used less. On some level, this is not a bad thing. Personally, I might advocate for the total removal of Supers from the game. However, CCP has also just nerfed the "end game" of EVE. Oh, and for all of you who claim that EVE is a sandbox with no end game, go take a basic psychology class at your local community college. Pathetic.

I, for one, hope my tears, at least, fuel you in your future journeys. I expect that by this time next year CCP will be a tattered corpse lying in a gutter by the access road.

TL;DR -- the new changes do nothing to reduce supercap blobbing, and in fact just make super pilots wants to get into bigger mega blobs. CCP fails and proves itself to be a dumb blunt-minded brute.

:David Attenborough:

And here, we see the FOTM kiddie in its natural habitat, the forums. This one has just lost his ability to hunt with impunity, never needing to rely on his wit nor his skill. Having grown soft when he could hunt with ease, he has realized that he may struggle to hunt, now that he is on a level playing field with the rest of the jungle. His response, as you can see, is to pull out his hair and gnash at the shadows, occasionally screaming gibberish. He may not survive the winter.

Grath, fighters are not gonna be able to hit nothing below capitals pretty much so...

Actually, it makes it MORE likely that supers will be used in Blobs. Thanks for confirming that, Mr. Pandemic Legion pilot.

To anybody that understands game mechanics this "supercap nerf" is a joke, it was never anything but that, supers always get used in blobs, just like support does, im not sure what point you're trying to make.

Its the people that think that suddenly supers are useless that are deluded and confused, they hurt just as bad as they ever did, the nerf actually buffed them in a few places.

but judging by the huge bawwing fuss that you yourself made at even these "joke" nerfs, I guess CCP have decided that they can't boil this particular frog any faster.

the fighterbombers won't be quite so effective vs subcaps,

but the real deal is that the hot-dropping 5 man drake gang faggotry is now much, much riskier.

Idgi this change really does nothing to supers, why do people keep acting like it does?


You can thank the carrier pilots, and sanctum runners, but to be fair, 30 supers that are all aeons will spider tank though anything and still launch 150 fighters, while carrying a full bay of bombers.


Anybody who thinks this patch changes anything is sadly out of touch with reality.
