Warfare & Tactics

id be all over that in seconds dude

that would be a fun fight,
unfortunately most of the bears who would know how to use one would also know not to shoot at me in the first place

I have got 1 visit for like 5 years. Abandoned wrecks and scooped my MTU. Visitor warped out immediately.

No need to gimp your fit for such rare cases

Long time ninja here who just recently came back to New Eden.

I see the MTU as something the Dev's thought might revitalize the time-honored profession of PVE-hunting (as opposed to suicide-ganking their Tengus on the undock which is a rather different thing). It seems to have helped a bit, but ninja work pales to what it once was. I look around at the mission hubs (and at one point, me and my old corp pals in SN have worked 'em all) and it seems like very few mission boats are going down in flames except to what looks like war targets and the rare, but still occasional Bear Harvest.

Shooting the MTUs though is kind of LOLzy, which is what this sort of thing is all about anyway. Good to see that The Lords are trying to keep it going. Suddenly Ninjas and TEARS have just about gone the way of the Dodo it seems.

I think the larger problem is what Crimewatch has wrought. Having done away with Corp Aggro made all of high sec, and I do mean ALL but those of us who routinely fly around as suspects, much more risk-averse. I suspect this means High Sec is proportionally as crowded as ever, with almost no one really willing to become a Null Bear Slave, and the only real threat being my boys in Marmite (or similar). Sure CODE kills quite a few idiot miners, but mission bears and others appear to be quite snug and safe.

Lack of a scram isn't really an issue to be honest. That just keeps your flipper from MWD'ing and/or warping away. If the reason you opened fire was to drive him off then you win if this happens. If you were wanting to destroy them then you want to employ modules such as energy neutralizers and stasis webs in addition to a warp disruptor. Neuts to shut down their fun toys, webs to slow em enough for your guns and drones to track properly, and the disruptor to make 20-24km your private killzone.

It's a very common assumption that a player's corpmates would be able to assist them directly under this kind of circumstance. In fact people often thought the same thing under the previous aggression system.

If this is what people intuitively think would happen perhaps that's how the game should actually work.
