Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen of CCP Development,

I realised right now that I cannot do most of the lvl 5 missions with my Paladin because they are all with lots and lots of neut towers and also every corporation which controlls them ask if I can fly a tengu. One capsuleer told me that even a damage controller is not usable. The Marauders are made for Missionrunning, they are the Peak of Missionrun. I think its not fair that a t3 cruiser is able to do a level 5 mission easily and a marauder not able at all.

My suggestion - give the marauder Paladin the ability to passiv tank and shoot or make it somehow less vulnerable to tower neuts.

Best Regards, MorliDots22

Yes, let us balance a ship around one game play mechanic that one person is trying to do with the wrong ship.

Do level 5s the smart way, with a carrier. You're welcome, now go cry for CCP to give you some overpowered ship somewhere where I can't see it.

lvl 5s aren't meant to solo (even if you can) their meant to take a fleet

FTFY, your welcome.

m8 this may not be the right game for you

Level 5 missions were designed around the idea of being run by more than just one person. Hells, Level 4s were designed around the idea of being run by more than one person as well.

That being said, cap injectors are indeed a thing that you can use. Maybe work on custom-tailoring your Paladin to operate under heavy neut pressure, making choices and fitting appropriately to your intended goal. Part of the mission is being able to survive it in the first place.

Everything is more profitable when you don't share the rewards. I'm disappointed you even asked such a question.

In the case of missions, being able to blitz them while alone ramps up the profitability enormously. The only "inefficient" part of group mission-running is having to share the rewards when solo blitzing is possible. Solo blitzing becomes possible because our ships saw massive EHP boosts in the past that not all missions were not thoroughly updated to account for.

Nobody is campaigning against anyone else's ability to run missions as they see fit, so please put down the bucket of righteous indignation. It's possible to run Lv5s alone with only one ship, but that doesn't mean they were designed for it and anyone trying to do so should reasonably be expected to fit with that in mind.

You can also scrub your kitchen floor with a toothbrush, but that doesn't mean the toothbrush was designed for it. It will work, of course, but you'll have to cancel your dinner plans in order to deal with all the extra time it will take.

Blood raider NPC are the nastiest of all normal NPC: Web, TD, neuting and they REALLY like your drones (unlike for instance Serps which hardly swap aggro). On top of that Amarr's T2 resists don't complement its laser damage types or, for the simple folk, lasers force you to fight Amarr based NPC but its tank sucks against them.

So yes, there's a good reason BR space is mostly empty in regards to pve gameplay and frankly it's getting a bit tiresome how Amarr gets fcked in that regard. Same with exploration, the hilariously more difficult sites compared to guristas, serp or lol Angels is obvious. And their escalations are so much more difficult and moronic than all the other factions it's not even funny, there's one Sansha escalation where you have to wait 25 minutes after the first wave and oh yeah, when they spawn there's like 30 of them, they insta aggro and good luck tanking them even with a 400 dps tank so if you aren't paying attention those 25 minutes you probably lose the ship fairly quickly. And those are just the high sec sites.

Large Capacitor Battery II?

Fit 2 of them, kill the neuts, drop depot and refit and continue with the rest of the NPC.

use missiles. I can run lvl 5s in a pinch between a heavy missile drake and 100mn cerb. Don't use something that basically has a giant target painted on its side with a neon 'GANK ME' sign to anyone with combat probes.
