Warfare & Tactics

I was all for timer rollbacks when there was hundreds of low SP farmer alts o-plexing everywhere including homesystems. The rollbacks were a remedial suggestion to help people defend more efficiently in places where they have an active interest in defending. I would quite often have to chase around 3 alts in a losing battle to defend plexes in nis after downtime because i can only be in one plex at a time :p

However, CCP took it to another level and practically wiped low-sp o-plexing alts from the warzone with changes to the rats.

I have to admit some bias in respect to d-plexing alts. I like how they maintain the systems but understand why they are kinda lame. They do make sure that occupancy of a particular system can only be challenged by sustained and determined pressure. They also act as a source of human driven intelligence rather than begging CCP to just tell us where all the enemies are because we have no friends to ask.

Also, everyone i know who has d-plexing alts uses them to hunt for targets as much as anything else. I have done so for probably over a year. I have literally hundreds of kills vs people who would have otherwise run but were too distracted trying to kill a brick tanked gunnless venture in my homesystem to notice me on d-scan.

Perhaps defensive LP should not scale with tier levels with both sides d-plexing LP locked at tier 2 levels. That would certainly act as an equalising measure.

As someone has already said, the biggest pure negative is neutrals griefing militia folk. Oddly, depending on your viewpoint this would be the only remaining reason to do it, right TD?

Sorry TD but if you want to influence occupancy, better join up. No pros without cons sorry.

Then hunt mission runners, not plexers. Mission runners absolutely crush plexers when it comes to lp/hr.

No harder than hunting DED site runners if you are hunting Gal Mil mission runners anyways.

The speed factor is offset a bit by the fact that they pop up in your overview imo.

Having dodged TD (and many of his pirate friends) many times in my cloaky/MWD Mishtar, I can attest that a) missions are too fast/easy and b) you can avoid pvp if you so choose. And I wasn't even using I go wherever I want risk free .... errrr.... cov ops T3.

EDIT: Not farming tears here. I legitimately think isk making in FW needs to be discussed at any town hall.

By griefing do you mean wanting to pvp in the plex? Oh no! Poor faction war players might have to live with low sec pvpers! FW players are getting more and more pathetic because the mechanics attract more and more carebears.

Bottom line: all Crosi's problems will be solved if faction war moved to high sec.

12 hours. Regularly have to bail on certain missions because of pirates - at a cost of 80k VP!

Another example of your inability to understand any simple concept. I wasnt complaining about neutral entities. I was blaming them for the lack of larger ship hull pvp, rather than what you blame for absolutely everything, 'rabbit farmers' lol.

Well large ships can't even get in novice, small, or medium plexes so would you agree there is no drawback to having rollbacks in those?
