EVE General Discussion

You mean to say, there is a counter to the counter? Well Duh. That is the point. Cepters have easy counters as just pointed out (hell if your on a budget, go blackbird).

The point is that if you can't be bothered undocking, you can't be bothered keeping sov. Before fozzie sov, huge sections of sov space was totaly and completely empty. I was getting my pod out of paragon sol, 50 jumps of null and not getting contested even once. But even as empty as it was, taking that sov back was near impossible without a **** ton of dreads+support.

Not now, now you can't have empty unused sov. That is the point. If sov is not worth the undock.. then you don't get to keep sov.

We had an entosis skirmish that escalated last night.

We started off in sniper Corms as we were entosising an IHUB. We killed a Maulus and jamming interceptor that tried to disrupt our operation. Then Goons escalated and brought a Caracal fleet, a harpy fleet and a mixed bag fleet. We burned back to our staging system and reshipped into Cerbs with Logi looking to try and defend our entosis ships and were doing well till Goons escalated with 2 Titans and a dozen or so carriers.

We still had fun though, no major head on fight but several skirmishes and a few good kills (including t2 cyno fit cruisers).

A few of our guys were complaining about overkill from Goons but if they have Titans and are prepared to throw them on grid fair play IMO. If they'd have stuck with the cruiser and Frig fleets we would have taken the fight but as always with CFC the strategic objective is far more important then any 'good fight'.

The interceptor(s) are not worth the undock / reship.

The core issue with some people that are complaining about the new sov is that they got to run after the entosis entities. There is a lot of compain about interceptors and some other type of ships. The reality thats not the real problem. You can put thousands of excuses and acuse interceptors of nullify issues etc. But again thats not the issue.

The issue is that most of these alliances are still bent on not giving up systems. So they are stuck with many systems they dont use but they want to hold on to them out of spite. So they end up doing crazy fleet for two to three days mining to raise the index level. Then they abandon the system again and remains empty. They will have hundreads systems like this. A good example is Catch and some regions CFC controls. There a great many systems that are not even habited yet they keep sov out of spite.

What needs to change here is way of thinking. They need to stop claiming sov on those systems that they dont use. This will drastically reduce the entosing. Example the big populated systems in CFC have had no attempt to entosis(besides some obvious attempt to get you to fight). You wonder why? Cos they are heavelly populated. If you look at the systems that are been attacked, they are systems that have either no people or very few people in it. So example CFC needs to stop claiming those systems they dont use and therefore cant defend cos of the absurd amount of timers. This will cause much much less entosis timers. Mittani tried to counter this not by releasing systems but instead they tried to fill them up with renters. It has not worked. The new sov system was created to give greater chance for smaller entities to gain space and force the large ones to realease those systems they dont really use.

Stop blaiming fozzy sov or ships or other mechanics for your inability to hold a system which you obviously cant defend cos its stretches you alliance activities(entosis defence) way too much. Pull back and release those system for other entities the same way that the new sov was meant to be utilised. Dont and suffer the consequences!
