Hey, been playing Eve on and off for a few years. I like the game in theory, it is just hard for me to find good fights, I find fights, just not goodfights. I would rather lose a substantial amount of isk in a close battle that taught me something than get on an even bigger killmail via a gatecamp.

off grid boosting is the crux for me. My 4 accounts are expiring. No you cant have my stuff I'll be back when its removed

1) Where are you trying to find fights. I don't have too much of a problem.

I am sure the loss of your 4 accounts will cause CCP to redirect ALL of their development efforts to make you happy.

Make sure you buy the HD stream of FANFEST so that you can see the official announcement.

While I always respect people who are prepared to take action over their gripes rather than just whine in the forum, in this case I don't see any problem at all with off-grid boosts.

So it might be more productive to stay and whine rather than leave. There seem to be a lot of people in W&T who whine about it.

In the end though, I hope it's futile. If anyone is prepared to put in all that training time and effort on an alt, they deserve the benefit that results.

If you aren't prepared to do it, then that's your own limiting choice. You should wear the consequence of that choice, not someone else.

We always send guys to take out the off-grid booster. They are usually juicy kills!

Quick simple question.....

I have read through some of the 'Off-Grid Boosting' topics on the forums and could not find the answer.

For those of you that are for it - Is there any other benefit to do this other than just 'getting the booster ship/pilot out of harms way while a fight is happening'?

And for those of you that are against it - Is there any other argument against it other than 'Its not fair that a ship can participate in the fight (via boosting) and not be at risk?

I'm honestly trying to figure out what all the divisiveness on this is and why CCP has not stepped in yet.

Thanks in advance -

Why would your Command and Control ship/bunker/armoured vehicle be placed at the front where it is in danger? Why would what it does mean it would have to be in line-of-sight with the enemy?

Like logistics and ewar, it's a force multiplier, allowing smaller fleets and lone pilots the opportunity to take on larger opponents.

However, if you bring it on grid, it will be primaried and killed as quickly as possible. That will favour blop tactics. Blop wins.

Thats the best reason I believe they should stay off grid. They aren't safe (though can be very, very difficult to scan down), but at least a blop can't just hit them and then wipeout the rest of the opponent.

Are you SURE that they had OGB? Because youre not providing any proof...

Without proof, this is just another "Everyone worse than me is a noob, everyone better than me is a Haxxor and should DIAF" thread.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Next he's going to ask fr drugs to be taken out of the game.

Here's a suggestion. If you have 4 accounts, why don't you have your own OGB helping you out? Just keep it on a second monitor and warp it to another bookmark when you can afford to shut it off for a few seconds.

They say most of your brain shuts down on the EvE forums. All but the impatient side, and the sarcastic side. No wonder I'm still awake.
