Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I would still just use a naga and a combat prober to solve my problems there. Warp to 0, the further he runs the faster he dies.

d-scan is a thing.

Most people hanging about in a system aren't hanging about in a PvP capable ship, since CCP are yet to make PvE and PvP content comparable. This means that upon a neut entering a system, a defender needs to go and change ship before warping to defend the points. They also have no idea which point (if any) the neutral is going to contest, thus the neut will generally get a headstart. Upon warping to the neut, the neut sees the approaching ship in d-scan and burns further away from the node (being at 25km already). If the neut knows even remotely what he's doing, the only ships capable of catching him will be so paper thin on tank they can be blapped on approach anyway. There's a video of a guy doing exactly this over and over.

Seriously, you have to be pretty bad to get caught.

It's not that it's hard for us its that it's even more boring than grinding all of delves structures. Chasing around cepters all day gets boring very fast.

Lol? So you believe a cruiser is too much cost for taking part in an alliance level activity?

Firstly, there's loads of stuff in our space that isn't interceptors, get a clue.

Secondly, if we work to defend our borders 24/7, why shouldn't we be able to prevent people getting in without using wormholes or bridging to spies?

If you actually do that, not even trollceptors can get in.

Until they change the mass, which is annoying.

There's only a couple of ships fits capable of stopping an interceptor passing through and you generally still have to have lightning reflexes, live in the UK and hope they aren't running WCS to bust the camp.

I do not believe that a cruiser is too much to ask for a sov attack, but it is infeasible to use as a harassment tool. As stated by several parties before me, real sov assaults are usually undertaken by real fleets and not by a ceptor. Harassment, on the other hand, is a task that suits ceptors very well. Please do not confuse them.

Holding sov is more than holding and securing borders. All your space is always at stake and should be defended. IF you limit your defensive actions to borders (which you do not do, obviously), ceptors to get through your perimeters are a more than viable tool to make you remember that fact. If you had perfect border controls, a ceptor would not get through the gate camps. (Well, for now at least. With the removal of the mass penalty, this might change again.)

With regards to your other post: This is a thing now, after the changes, any ceptor and other ships I named can easily catch up with a running ceptor. There are also fittings proper ceptor fittings that are fast and not blap-able. You also still cling to the kill-it-mentality. You should really get someone to cut your claws so that you can let go of that. A fight and winning one is more than killing a ship. the sooner you realize that, the better for your perception and solution finding capabilities. Look at Caleb, he's got it right.

Except it's only harassment because they do have the ability to contest sov solo. An interceptor has bubble immunity an high speed because it's designed to intercept, it's a tackle ship. You want it to be used for attacking sov for "harassment" because it's easy and safe, that's all this is.

It's not just "kill-it", it's to do with people being able to contest sov, solo, with no risk. It's a dumb mechanics to leave open since all it;s going to do is mean that people who would normally be around generating conflict will instead just run around evading. Why are you so against conflict existing in nullsec?

Providing feedback and pointing out flaws which make designed game mechanics uninteresting isn't "moaning".

I'll believe that when I see it, it was threatened before this even went live and.... *crickets*

And if it does, it'll sure as hell not be interceptors.
