Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I am starting to see a big time trend here thats gone back several years.

If the CFC or Goons encounter somthing that decimates thier fleets they yell for nerf, they yell for changes and qq whine and complain and stomp thier feet untill ccp doesnt somthing that will benifit them. A way for a inferior amount of numbers to counter a much larger group was invented, and while it let the small group counter the much larger one the smaller one put more risk in isk and ship out there. CFC didnt like this and much like titan tracking screamed for nerf.

Did you stop and think how this would negativly effect mining fleets? As it is youv allready nerfed mining in non empire to ****, making mining sites not need to be scanned, putting null ice fields on a 4 hour cycle, letting ceptors warp through bubbles. Now one of the last things that miners had to defend with and that was a cloud of drones is gone.

Please ccp keep fixing the things that Goons dont like. instead of working on things that would reduce your server load, likeeeee after 50 drones on are field they generate no model.

i like it !!

I'm all for having fun, but I'd like to see it be balanced and spread across the entire spectrum of the game. I've sat here and watched CCP buff the **** out of everything cheap and T1, barely improve T2, and talk widely about planning to nerf T3, and now give some indication (in this post) that they consider changes which nerf capitals more than subcapitals to be desirable.

"Everyone having fun" is all well and good as a slogan, but the reality is that force multipliers have and should remain a key part of EVE - if you don't have a big pile of dudes, your options are more restricted, but there have always been strategies you can pursue to punch above your weight. CCP is removing those, slowly but surely, and as a member of a group that enjoys not being blue to 70% of EVE, that's a bit frustrating to watch. I'm simply curious whether that's the direction CCP wants us to go - whoever has more dudes wins, end of discussion - or if it's simply an accident on their part?

A good start.

Thank you.

I can't put a number on it, but currently Dominixes are responsible for somewhere in the ballpark of 5 times the PVP damage dealt of the next most popular fleet battleship, if that's still the case in a few months this will have 'not worked'.

Thank God. Thank you CCP, now I can think about maybe going on strat-ops again.

Thinking before posting is overrated.

point being .. you can bypass capital scan res entirely using this system .. which gains dps overall which is scaled exponentially by the amount of drones on the field ... they don't do with guns/missiles for a good reason .. it should be applied here too..

you can still do the same thing, you just need more people as triggers :(((((((((((((((((((((

Wow and that would have nothing to do with the fact that the current wars most used ship is the domi and the largest coalition in eve constiting of 50k+ members is using it? And ill give you a hint, they arnt using it becuase its good.
