Hi everyone,

Hi

I been a low-sec pvper for nearly 3 years now. I never understood why link ships, such as: Loki, Tengu, Proteus can actually be used in low sec. It's a place where small gang warfare is meant to happen. I feel that command ships really ruin the fun.

Why would the Loki Tengu and Proteus not be able to be used in low sec if command ships are the ones that ruin the fun? Might want to double check the ship categories.

As for links, they'll be fine once changed to on grid only.

Eve isn't a solo game. Stop trying to play it like one.

on this logic. iam flying a t1 frig in low sec. no one should be able to anything bigger in low sec while i am their in case i loose my frig.......

deal with it its part of the game if you know someone uses links don't fight them rather then loosing to them and then whining on the forums about it.

What about Implants are they allowed? what about boosters they allowed? god forbid someone brings a friend or 2in to fight you. should fleets not be allowed in low sec while your flying in case there fleet is larger then yours?

I remember ccp planning a year or two ago to make links have to be on grid. What ever happened to that? Links should have to be on grid.

CCP will implement it the moment they have figured out how to do it. Seems to be a lot harder to do than they thought.


I don't use links so this doesn't directly effect me, but it does seem a trifle odd that links are system wide boosters and flies in the face of risk vs reward.

I would perhaps suggest this to CCP.

Make link modules Aoe like interdiction spheres, fleeted ships in the sphere of influence are boosted

Or alternatively make link modules auto target like mid slot passive auto targeting mods except they automatically target fleet ships and apply their effects to them when in range? - maybe re-cycle the energy vamp effect in a blue electronics hue with a higher brightness to warn people off that the ships are being boosted?

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.


If a ship can show up on overview, and be targeted depending on your ship's targeting range, then they can figure it out. I don't think its on their top list of things to do right now or has been in the past couple years.

Playing with your own off grid alts is still EVEsturbation.
