loeses 3 sentry drones and 1 TE. TE's were nerfed anyway so it won't be a great loss, especially since it'll be a stacking penalised TE.

yeah it's still going to be the incursion boat of choice for 1400s.

Admit that you came back from vacation before he did so that you could booby trap his desk.

Also best L4 boat still with the exception of travel missions which are for ishtar. That nerf would just be scraping off some of the excess stuff.

do you have any stats on the new/modified launchers the rapid ones?

i have yet to use them just wondering if their use has been affected like some predicted. and if so are there plans to enhance them? like a larger clip or something...

I'm still 50/50 on these. I have several ideas on their use (on the raven hulls) and will hold my tongue until I have properly experimented with them.

Local supertanking immobile ship =/= good fleet doctrine

Change bandwidth to 50m3 and leave the bay alone. I'd also suggest a slight HP nerf rather than a lowslot removal.

I'd kind of like it if the OP could describe what it feels like to be so completely wrong all of the time.

Thanks in advance.

I imagine it's like wetting yourself.

Yeah, I am sure the blob-secc'ers dislike me, and the cartel lords have made their displeasure felt, but here is the thing: While extremely vocal, they are the minority in this game.

Sort of like the wing-nut tea partiers.
They should be treated the same way.

And yet you can't get 10 people together to test marauders on the test server after begging on these forums for a week. while the Blob-lords (Blords?) coordinate tens of thousands of human beings every day to accomplish goals.

Where has this imaginary Dinsdale loving majority been for the last 10 years. Why are they not electing Dinsdale Political Action Committie (D-PAC) members to the CSM in droves?

The truth you can't admit is that you're the fringe crazy dude on the corner wearing tinfoli screaming that the world is about to end and wondering why all these dumb motherwhatevers are looking at you like you are a crazy dude on the corner wearing tinfoil. If you were capable of realizing the truth of what I'm telling you, you then be able to stop self-marginalizing yourself long enough to get actual people to listen to your actual views.

Why do you keep posting the same personal attack, when the facts have not changed?
The high sec lack of organization is well documented, and is organic with the bulk of high sec.

Just because very few high sec players bother fighting with the nutbars on the forums does not mean that high sec's population is not huge compared to bloc-sec, and drive the economic well-being of CCP.

General would be a much better place if Fozzie (or other CCP) jumped in with real numbers to squash the assumptions and bullshit more often.

Thank you Fozzie for helping out on this one.

So CCP , can you show me some km's of players using Marauders as a PvP weapon?
And no, 12 Catalysts killing a Vargur does not count.

Looks to me that Yitterbum/Fozzie/Rise's vision for the Marauder, is, as predicted, an utter failure.


Then why do I see you undocking from the Lanngisi's Sister station every single night in a Paladin if there is something wrong with the ship? Everyone I know who uses maruaders for missions is highly impressed , to the point of getting rid of their loot pinata pirate BS and using less gank worthy tech2 fit Marauders instead.

Simply put, CCPs changes to marauders have been a resounding PVE success, why are you slamming them for making the ship I see you use every night better at it's job (regardless of CCP stated reasons for the changes)? Or is it just that you need something to complain about every day?


Jeez, I find myself agreeing with a Jenn aWhine comment.

Does this mean I am losing the plot?
