EVE General Discussion

Bots. Bots are the next fleet doctrine. It's the next logical progression after all.

Drones dont cause lag was stated by a high ranking and higly regarded member of the N Three Coalition- along with: Sentry Carrier blobs are here to stay and shall never be touched forevermore and henceforth! And was picked up and parroted by the line members.

Another fact is a player causes more stress on the server than a drone.

That seems like a silly argument to make though. I thought this game was about joining other real people and blasting apart the pixels of other real people. Should I be unable to play because X amount of people have deployed to many drones for me to play? Id rather play with other humans not hanging out with a bunch of AI scripts.

Granted nerfing drones because of server load doesn't fix the problem it just pushes it under the "undesirable for use" rug. Like they did to Heavy Missiles making pretty much most cruiser/BC missile chuckers crap in PVP (or more crap since they were pretty bad before HML adjustment anyway.).

But I don't think drones should shrink PC access to the game.

(that being said the Dread situation was completely different and largely unrelated to drone imo...I think there is enough historical evidence that suggests its never a good strategy to jump a mass of dudes into a loaded grid...drones or not, tidi helped that but didn't erase it.)

NC. ladies and gentlemen.

Except a player can bring from 0 to 15 drones, usually 5 or 9-10. How about that load? There were probably more N3PL dornes on field than player from both side... Same for CFC and co.

We jumped a dread fleet into 6vdt at the end of the fight too.

I think I heard the word "Omegafleet" being quietly burned from your post history.

Since your blap naglfars haven't proven effective, drop the supercapitals. It's what they're for. Besides, how are they not a counter to sentry warfare if they can fight from outside of sentry range? And, if like you said, the problem with countering sentries comes from countering carriers' massive holds, then surely blowing up the carriers is your best option - and therefore omegafleet should do the job perfectly?

"Oh noes we won't fight them on their terms and drop supercaps!!!"

Tough luck. There is a counter to this admittedly imbalanced form of warfare that does not necessitate forcefully bending the node over and giving it a quicky. If you don't like it, don't try to take the systems defended by archons.

Complaining about the node is not going to get the nodes expanded to accomodate your ridiculous form of war anytime soon; especially since you were both dropping inordinate numbers of pilots and so are equally to blame. Complaining in GD is an exercise in futility since A) your battle sperg doesn't belong here anyway and B) it's not technical support.

Using the magical tool known as reading, you would soon discover that the age-old doctrine of the supercap blob, the workhorse of old null, seems to be a pretty decent option in this case.

That, or, as mentioned about three times now, use omegafleet. Take out those carriers from outside of sentry range and negate the amount of lag - you're practically doing the world a favour.
