Clearly, poorly.



I wasn't just joking either. With the warp speed acceleration changes and Ascendancy implants there is no reason to not use a dictor for quick "tackle" in null/wspace.

OP, there is your solution. That, and as suggested by others, reinforcing the depot as soon as you land and tackle.

Try that on a renter system with a bubble farm on the gate and tell me how it works.

This pretty much will insure that the price of those implants should remain inflated and the demand should remain steady. Nice to know.

next time use a SB... a single bomb will make the depot hit reinforcement mode.

…or just a single volley of torps — that skips the whole 10s bomb travel time as well.

No no no, this thread is about bears who don't want to fight weaseling away.

To complain about bears who do want to fight, please start a more confusing thread.


Tell me again about how every playstyle you dont engage in "doesn't require any effort" and everyone who does it needs to die in a fire. Be sure to mention about how you tried it once but it was too easy/boring/ethnic-homophobic slur.

Saw this in action myself now, just recently, trying to kill a Moros. We have no hard feelings against losing our quarry, it's not like it's something you haven't been able to do before, except now you don't need a neutral Orca alt to do it. It levels the field now for people who play solo, on just one account, without multiboxing, like myself. Although now, I'll be adding mobile depots to my overview settings, and they'll be primary every time.

Today i found a raven in a wormhole, tackled it. He had setup a mobile depot and refit to warp core stabs to escape (very clever). I cant imagine this was its primary purpose but its seems like it could be abused. Solo is hard enough without have to bring 3 faction scrams to make sure you can catch PVE BS. I think that maybe you should not be able to refit if you have an agression timmer. Am I the only one who thinks this is a silly game mechanic or am i way off? Thanks



if you want to see stupid changes to game mechanics you should get a WOW account. So far I haven't seen any changes that CCP have done that have really pissed me off.

I'll make sure to get a stealth bomber that can warp through bubbles, without showing up in local, reinforce the depot with a bomb that can't be seen while not showing up on the overview and leave before the guy notices then I'll get my inty in to tackle. Thanks for that most helpful tip. I'm sure the OP will be excited to know he can once again solo tackle stuff.

Lol, the fact that the various T2 frigates have been setup as rock, paper, and scissors seems to have eluded you.

Interceptors get through bubbles. They need to be in gangs.

Stealth Bombers strike from stealth, and they can go solo, but they have a slower time to warp, can't get through bubbles.

And Assault Frigates are rock, you hit things with them. No further explanation required.

I'm not sure at what point you feel that solo gameplay should have literally no drawbacks? Go make some friends, if you still can after shitposting for as long as you have. You'll find it makes a heck of a difference.

Yeah, wow its almost like an interceptor, built to act as a support vessel for a fleet (not as a gang ship in a gang of interceptors as suggested above) which has the specific job of intercepting and tackling ships, can't do its job at all now.

We even have idiots now suggesting instead we should be tackling with stealth bombers ...

You even said it yourself. It's a support vessel.

That means it shouldn't be alone, and if it is, you're doing it wrong.

Wrong, its a support vessel designed to chase down targets and hold them in place. That means jumping solo into systems and tackling ships as well as in system tackling. Or do you think PvP only ever happens in one system, no one ever jumps gates to catch targets, people don't wait on one side for the tackler to tag something because they know if they all jump in its all over before it begins?

You have a brain, start using it.
