I assume you are talking about stabs fit to FW plex farmers correct?

Want to borrow my patented triple scram Hookbill? It's a horrendous fit and sucks really hard but it's OK because someone with 4 stabs can't lock you before you kill them anyway.

You could use a Merlin too but I like the Hookbill for style points.

Reality has an almost infinite capacity to resist oversimplification.

Why would increasing the price to ~5m help you catch stuff you're already failing to catch? They're not going to forego the stabs because they cost 5m, especially if you're complaining about FW LP farmers.

Do you really want CCP to get into the habit of changing established game mechanics and modules because of a single person's inability to kill their targets?



Your lack of comprehension overwhelms even the most understanding of people.

What everyone doesn't know, is that this isn't about him not being able to catch PLEX runner, it's about the hanger full of stabs he has collected and now wants to sell for inflated prices.....

There is a related post in warfare and tactics about guys getting away. It's a good read. Overall, folks are supposed to get away if they put some effort into it. You can tackle anyone if you put some effort into.

Last time I looked, most ships have a fixed number of low slots, so infinity stabs isn't possible. Infinity point is possible... so what are you whining about again?

Will your next post be a gripe about cloaked ships being too hard to see?


LOL

nice

The way I see it, OP has three options available to him.

1. Get better.
2. Fit more scrams.
3. Find another target.

The first option may be asking too much. The second option isn't always possible. Therefore, I believe going with the third option will give the best result....Unless you like trying and failing to pop the same target over and over and over and over again...... What's that definitions of insanity again?

Great Idea, simple and Great. Not a direct nerf, but it will require some skill for user to survive as stabs cant be grouped for one button hit activation.

Not really, Farmers would just wait activate as soon as a hostile appears on grid. Best solutions would be to either fit more scrams or move on to a different target.

In the way that a PVP pilot should not be forced to bear, a bear should not be forced to pvp. Or is that being too fair and reasonable?

Haven't been in this sub forum for a very long time, but I see people still think suicide gank mechanics are fine, but warp core stabs need to be nerfed.

can't believe these things cost less than 5 mill each.


Dont know how many times mentioned before this as i dont read a lot, but an infinate-point hic nullifies warp core stabs and makes the pilot look dumb. All at the same time!

Don't judge the rest of us on this. We all think WCS are just fine, other than OP.

Solution to stabs comes in 1400mm size.

Although it'd be cool if warp core stabs became active modules that used a fair bit of cap.
