Ships & Modules

blops already receive a 50% reduction in jump fatigue, all these changes are just making them too powerful with no risk

+1 for this

The single biggest buff to black ops type fleets would be to actually make nullsec worth the effort. Once the density of targets and blops gangs reaches critical peak, there's content on both sides of the equation aplenty, instead of having to scrape 10 regions to find one target. So long as line members source their income outside nullsec, this will never happen.

Let's give warp bubble immunity to everyone ! Nerf warp bubbles !

Agreed with #2.

For #1 I'd like to see a larger scale solution that affects all ships. I've had the same problem as Tempelman; I simply cannot fly in nullsec as Chance and have any hope of actually being stealthy.

For #3 I don't know enough to say it's a GOOD idea but it is certainly a COOL idea.

1 i agree, the range may need to be looked at. Crying about local giving you away may mean u need a new toon though kek.

2. no. no no no. the concept of a blops was never to jump and tank like a god while blazing nerds. thats what supers are used for B) if your worried about a ship dying then fit reps in the utility highs, bring triage, or go balls deep and see if you can live the dream and solo a carrier's geckos. yes they are expensive. but if a napoc with double the dps and a jump drive isnt op enough, i don't know what is.

3. i agree that the different classes need work. but at the same time i would say that ive seen plenty of awesome blops uses from all the different classes, and they can do all the roles that are needed.

Or you could...you know...get out of an NPC corp and into a player corp that does nightly BLOPS....

Cov Ops cloak + Marauder resists.

Poof! Ships fixed!

Blops is far from dead. Properly managed, timers for the drop fleet can be nonexistent. ie wait between drops, fly back yourself, your in a cloaky after all.

I like the odd blops, but it gets old after a while unless your the HK. These days you don't get counter dropped nearly as much as you use to. That was fun sometimes. 60 dommies gets dropped on your 20 bombers... or AF or whatever.

Blops is like gate camping. Sure its fun and funny sometimes, but you don't want it to be the only way you play eve.

BLOPS are far from dead. The ones that dies are the "targets".
Killmails keeps coming. This is why CCP has had to rein in the BLOP mechanic and indeed the ships to be a glorified
jump taxi.




The only thing that stands between perma drop farming nullbears, hapless "miners" and displaced nubs in 0.4 and triggerhappy killmail addicted lowsex pirates is CCP blops mechanics.

And that is not even counting the massive death of ships that pure bombing causes with dry jumping hot drops and on grid bookmark set ups, and rearming bombs @ a cloaky hauler stash..
