EVE General Discussion

No. It is a place where small gang warfare tends to happen. If there were to be restrictions on the type of warfare, then we'd see FW complexes only allowing two ships in at a time. Or not being able to have more than 3 people in a fleet while in lowsec. Larger scale stuff happens too. I saw a ~40 man militia fleet drop carriers the other day in a fight with a random, public roaming fleet. I'm assuming that means carriers should be banned from low as well?



So using ships for their intended purpose is an exploit? I guess that means that the Mordu ships shouldn't fit points because they have bonuses and kite crazily. Or Caracals should stop using missiles since that is their intended weapon system and RLML is great at taking out frigates. IT IS TOTALLY UNFAIR!

Don't have a WoW-like mentatlity of banning things because they are overpowered towards one thing in particular. Tactics, tactics, tactics. You don't want to fight someone that is running links in system? Then find their links and shut them down. Especially the T3 ones, as it seems people to not like to fit a tank to them. A couple hundred million isk KM would make me smile knowing that he has to replace all of that instead of the 30m faction frigate.

I believe Fozzie mentioned a while ago about wanting to do Dessie Command Ships. Now THAT I would like to see.

Complains about command ships, lists only strategic cruisers.

Well, didn't think about that one. Not that you said or contributed anything great yourself.


Also, if something can be use it doesn't mean it's not being exploited and overpower. At the moment link ship are and you can easily see that by the huge amount of people that are using them. They were also previously nerf for a reason.

Just like when rifter was the best ship around everyone used it. Still many said, "No, overpower! You're crazy!" Also, they were using it for its main purpose. But now I ask you, isn't it more fun as it is now? Yes, it is! (oh this last part was just comparison for the ones who don't understand that.)

Somethings need to be balanced out so everyone can enjoy the game. Not only the ones, who decide to go op in rambo mode.

The graphics isn't the issue, the problem is that CCP can't figure out how to get it to work at all on a grid instead of system wide.

I want to remind everybody that one of the devs said that links are involved
in one of the biggest bottlenecks regarding performance (Jita) and thus got pushed up in priority.

Expect changes "soon".

Sure they aren't, you use them that's why.

What is there to learn? You train an alt to use a link ship and then you go rambo mode with your main character.

The huge problem I see is there is very little risk involve. You can easily apply you link ship in a safe spot of the system and simply slip away if any bad guy comes. Or, better call your links buddies to beat the living heck out of him.

Stealth allow bombers to use bombs in low sec thread.

Which I am totally OK with

Pretty much all I'm getting out of OP on this is that they want all ships to be the same, bland, dull, middle of the road nonsense as the Rifter because ~effort~.

Just a guess, but does this have to do with a rail Merlin killing your dual prop, A-type AB Dramiel?

If you're in a frigate, don't engage a not-so-solo frigate on your own. I'm sure you know who they are after 3 years in lowsec!

Bring friends, or your own links, or a bigger ship.

It's all in ze metagame.

I only rarely use them, mostly in fleet operations. When solo, I just roam alone. Looking after 2 ships makes roaming slower than purely solo and I tend to move around quickly from system to system.


BS. Someone who doesn't use them and just comes to the forum to QQ about how everyone else's links should be nerfed, has really no clue what it takes or what the risks are.


Of course you have a huge problem. That's quite clear.

You just mistake what your huge problem is. It's not that other people use the available legal game mechanics to their best advantage. It's that you don't and instead of recognising that it's your choices that put you at a disadvantage, you come to the forum and QQ about how the choices you refuse to make are OP.
