EVE General Discussion

Took me a while to be sure,
didn't pay too much attention at first.

First I noticed a big change compared to 2012 ...
... but at some point I digged deeper into it and noticed another.

The second moment I realised that something changed was,
when I reached the tripple-volley thrasher so easily.

The first one was when suddenly the faction police didn't despawn regularly.


Back in 2012 I had to fit an armorplate and had to have AWU high up ...
... to have enough tank to reach the third volley ...
... pushing damage beyond an alpha fitted t2 280mm Artillery Thrasher.

But this year it's easily doable just using shield-tank alone.

So I checked and I know someone who has the updated sentry damage profile on her bio.

To compare....

The EVELOPEDIA Sentry gun entry.

Specifically this ...


Compared to here ...
... https://gate.eveonline.com/Profile/M-L-E ...
... and this:

Comparing this to damage intake back then ...
... and double checking the combat log of today's ganks ...
... there's more time between sentry turret volleys ...
... which means it's easier to get off more volleys before the tripple-volley thrasher pops. (:

But there's more to come!


(undramatic pause)

The faction police despawns much less often!

For those who don't know what that means:

It means that when I bounce around on grid ...
... and reach a few hundred kilometer distance ...
... they start slowboating towards me!

It happens every few bounces now,
instead of maybe every ten or twenty, if even!

There were hours with it not happening even once!


Anyhow ....


The police frigate reaches 2.5kmsec max.

Too slow to catch a properly fitted atron, slasher or vigil, btw ... ;)


And this actually makes it more interesting.

First I thoughtIt's too easy-mode to have them not despawn that often ...
... but sometimes getting used to it ends with them suddenly respawning next to you ...
... killing you .... snickers xD

Edit: "See followup post as reply to Sibyyl that this is rare and only
happens when one stops paying attention. Don't do it stoned, kids!"


... oh and I shouldn't forget to mention ...


... they have gridwide ECM! :O


This seems a bit much, would rather have it reduced to maxed out realistic in game values, (fleetboosters etc)
simply because the faction police isn't an CONCORD NPC.


Thank you for your attention!

I sit down, cross my legs ... and light up a superlong EVE120. :)

I see you baby, trollin' that forum!

Also your

paragraphing

is really

bad.

Did it

really need

to


take up

this much space?

Came...

Seems everyone had the same idea I had about replies...

Best mocking post so far. :)

Waiting for the ISD to clean up the mess.

No idea if he disapproves of my layout too,
but all my OPs are written like this ... so..... :p

What you've said makes sense. At the 1.75 second mark, the old sentry guns would have dealt 616 damage, but the new ones would have only dealt 440 damage (assuming everything connects). Not sure what the volley frequency for a Thrasher is, but looks like you're falling inside the volley frequency of the sentry guns more comfortably now that it's 2.5 secs.




Why would this make things easier? Is it because respawning has the small chance that they respawn within shooting range?




Doesn't this nerf outlaw mechanics in hisec a little?

I corrected the OP a bit to make it more reflect actual reality.

No offense here, but usually it's the other way round ...
... and players worthlessly on CONCORD and police lossmails.

I still have no idea how you haven't been kicked from that channel yet. Your continued presence is the greatest troll ever. 10/10
