EVE General Discussion

Love the warpspeed changes, but have mixed feelings about the bubble Immunity for interceptors. It was allready hard to catch IC's before that change because of their extreme fast alligne time and speed. Now it's a bit too much of a "get-out-of-prison-Card".

At least Heavy interdictors should be able to catch them.

I predict that a day will come when some jump capability is added to the subcaps, perhaps with the faction variants that cannot and jumping them will be considered the ONLY way to fly.

It will be the end of battleships in solo/small gang, but more like a final nail in the coffin if I'm reading the forums right. But the role of a battleship by default seems antithetical to using them for anything outside of fleet.


What I hope not to see if partial jump capability with an imbalanced cost ratio. It would be rather dumb to jump caps and battleship subcaps but everything from battle cruiser on down has to run a gauntlet to race to the battle. Yes the need for battleships as support for carrier groups (traditionally) would be met but battleships are naked without their cruiser and frigate support.

In other words, I have a feeling that a day may come when warp speed is an optional matter for interstellar travel as ships will jump with their fleets. But I'm hoping that fleet size and power requirements have some play lest it's 1000 ship instablob games replacing BLOPS DROPS (making matters worse).

But for instrastellar engagements warp speed would make all of the difference, like when things go bad and you have a fleet bail out to regroup for counterattack or jump out of the system.

Warp speed made them really hard to hit with smartbombs... They come out of warp so fast you have to fire your bombs before they are visible on grid...

Allowing people to exercise their stupidity and get in their own way is an excellent game feature. There's absolutely nothing about a bubble that prevents also fitting sebos, points, and scrams.

ceptor is fine, or do you prefer recon camping?

still too many jumps between action to make it fun. They need Titan jump thingies.

This is what I wrote back when it got introduced, and I still stand by it.

I still did not care to train for one...

All I need to say about this is:



Interceptor vs Light Missiles = Dead Inty
