EVE General Discussion

For me this is where the problem stems, and from experience 20~30 isboxed thrashers is less effective than 20~30 players in thrashers, it's more the problem of them being only an omnipresent enemy and nothing else because there are alts doing it rather than many people.

I'm also figuring from this thread that joining an involved group would be a wise choice. I just need to be active enough to participate.

ISboxing/multiplexing inputs was banned. So, if they are using multiple accounts, it would have to be done manually, which is not as effective.

Regardless of that, I can solve this in about 5-10s of thought. Move.

If you are unable to counter their gangs effectively, and don't have the man power, leave to a different system. My homes always change. Sometimes, if their composition is too good, it can't be solo'd. That is something you will have to accept. Most of the time i know what I can and cannot fight (unless trap). Or i set my fits up so i can escape from blobs. Solo is just that, fighting outnumbered, you have to learn to separate or bait to operate effectively.

I had 3-4 stations with stuff in them when amarr steamrolled minmatar FW space. I was pushed to the entry system of minny space, and was basically staging out of rens for a week or so, since we had no systems. I'm not crying because a larger force pushed me out, its part of the game. You need to adapt your composition/skills, or you need to consider moving.

Going out by yourself isn't necessarily bad. If you want full control over what you do in space rather than being tied to a gang, go out as several characters.

Blah blah not efficient to control several characters without software. Just build a gang that has some reaction time buffers built in like range, and don't try to make anything kitey.

You are using straw man argument there.

You are saying what you think a person does as the only thing anyone can do.

To coordinate a fleet, you need all people to follow the leader, to obey the leader, and not to think they can do anything better than the leader. In a fleet, the more pilots you have, the bigger the chance of someone not understanding or not obeying the plan. The more chance you have that the timing will be wrong, the more chance you have that some factor between people go wrong.

From all that possibilities, a true multiboxer only risks to have timing wrong or wrong acts by accident, which are the exact same multiplied by the number of people.

There is nothing preventing a sole person or a group of people to perform the same objective, they are only not advised to do the thing the same way.

You have the same idea of multiboxing as most people. You get your own experience and extrapolate, assuming that is what a multiboxer does.

I am a humble multiboxer, my setup is comprised of 2 machines and 4 screens, 2 keyboards and 2 mices. They are gaming ones so both mices have 16 buttons and both keyboards have 12 programmable keys. Markee Dragon shows in his videos a 6 screen setup, and I think it was 3 machines. I have a friend with one LED TV and 2 screens, running 4 machines. But whatever, the point is: Multiboxing is not an fixed thing, it is a form of play that has many flavours.

When I get to combat, which is not often, I attack in waves, I have a uber tank which barely move, bearing functional drones. That cripples the targets and holds the attack. Then a pour in funciotnal cruisers to cripple their attack and stale their defense. Pour in functional snipers, assigning drones to a frigate that will instalock big ships and get the drones dishing out. And finally, I warp some snipers to go sweeping the table. Behind them command ships giving bonuses. Each pilot instead of having the multiple skills, have their own role skill, because they are never solo, so they dont need to train more than their role to perform. Very fast I can have snipers, drone operators for function and hit, and tanks that make a Amarr BS pratically indestructible by any small ship horde.

I lose, of course. I win fleets bigger than my alt fleet, yes. I think it is fair ? no. I bother it is not ? no.

But you cant tell me that EVERY fleet of same number of people as my alts have an inherent advantage, because they dont.

It's not solo if you're going up against another player.

Op there is definitely a lot of truth in your argument. Thankfully CCP have been working to allow for gameplay styles that include pilots that are daring enough to play multiplayer vs a solo pilot or a small group. The game has been improving in this respect and as fozziesov and module tiericide come to fruition I believe it will continue to expand and support more playstyles.

You should at least have a link boosting alt and perhaps a ewar alt because they don't require as much focus as your main combat pilot.

Kellie recommend Anoikis.

This one is a best space.

Watch a the youtube videos, find corps for to do a things make you go a "wowa!". App to this a corps, then live dream.

Kellie for did. Now Kellie elite pvps.

No for a salty, only suga.

As expected from someone who joined TWO LOSSES MINIMUM. Can't even help their fellow corpmates and are so bad at PVP the russians even **** on them. Why don't you join a REAL corp that has people that will teach you how to actually fight instead of camping the ikoskio gate and running away at the sight of a drake.

Either lose the corp or the sub because getting **** on by the russians is the worst thing to happen in eve.

A 55 person corp in EVE means: 35 of them are alts. 20 are mains. 10 are online. 8 are afk.
