EVE General Discussion

Came expecting discussion on a new kind of warp disruptor... the "moot" point..

Again dear OP, I understand what you are talking about but - again - meta is not something that CCP forced on us, it is one of those things that emerged out of how people use tools provided by CCP. Sure, devs could buff green/blue/purple items to match their current price but you know what it would basically do? Current price * 100. So if now you feel faction invul doesn't give you enough oomph for a price imagine 20bil price tag on it after buff.

I hate being caught by a gang same as the next guy but because I tend to fly where possibility of such situation is quite high I fly cheap fits. And you know what? Sometimes I take few of those guys down before they burn me. Sometimes I just sit there waiting for explosion to warp my pod out. Well, I can't blame them for using their numbers but the point is I do not consider lack of green/blue/purple tags on my fit as something that limits my enjoyment.

If people would stop for a moment and really think about their fittings instead blindly follow path of bling they know from other games with time market would follow and shinies would become cheaper. But as long as there are people flying 20bil vargs in 1.0 systems doing L4s those items will remain their too shiny too lose status.

I fly with an alliance myself, where many of our doctrines have faction fits with no choice to "only" use t2 mods. OP is right that we wouldnt go into a sure loss. However having faction fit doctrines definately makes a huge difference in the number of enemies we take as a "sure loss". Í remember an event where our 38 man fleet engaged a live event and at a point had about 150 people shooting at us. Only thing that saved us there was pimped out and carefully planned setups.

So in my opinion its all about who you fly with. I would never take a 1 bil T3 into a solo fight out of fear for getting ganked. I would however take the same T3 out in a very risky fight with my alliance, well knowing that every single pilot will do way better than most people we face. Even if it means losing my pimped ship once in a while. Fights are only really fun when you have a lot on the line.

This stat is made up.

I was about to say the only module that doesn't have a realistic use is Festival Launcher, but even that has conceivable purpose.

I suppose I am missing the point.

Which modules and rigs are you talking about which serve no purpose to the pilot?

Can you give me an example so I know what you mean?

Lol probably

Though its conceivable that an extremely (to the point of vulgar wastage) wealthy pilot may want to put those on a brick they like to sit in while they do WH industry or something

Shrug

You think?

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead!
In peace, there ’s nothing so becomes a man,
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood.

I know this is against the rules but https://zkillboard.com/kill/36207486/

Wait... whut

I dont

why..?

what

There are no fair fights in EVE, so I see OP's point.

It would be nice to have some sort of dueling system where people cannot interfere. Like as if CONCORD can't set up a "dueling arena" ; a massive, massive dome that only the two duelers can enter.
