Assembly Hall

Hi, first sorry for my bad english.

I recently 1-2weeks max had knowledge of the changes of Links and how on theory all links will be on-grid. And i opended a ticket to CCP that i got answer and along with other thinks he advice me to make a post on this part of the forum regarding some ideas i had there.

So just going to make a quick recap, i have a main and a 28m SP alt account, not much... And like 3month ago i decided training for links that why i could use my alt to link while my alliance where defending our system and stuff like that. So having 0 combat skill except drones. I decided training for a T3 trained for Legion / Tengu and started the process of training (still on it.. )

So this change affect me and started researching why it was going to be change and the ideas i got it out mainly where this ones:

-People want solo PvP and fair PvP in low sec.
-FW need to be fair.
-3v1 and stell lost cause of links

Stuff related with FW, solo PvP small group PvP along thoose lines.

I know for a fact that most/all pvp null alliances use link on grid with command ships. But besides having no weapons or 1 waepon. Command ships can have a nasty tank!

So i started thinking of a think ideas how CCP could implement this new link "rebalance" or whatever you want to call it.


Maybe im wrong but:
Most FW or even solo pvp happen in Small rig ships Frigs - destroyer class, and i can understand you want a fair fight but the other frigs is going +800m/s them you with low sig etc like "how is this fair"?! I total get you guys that complain about links but let think of smart ideas.

Change links. New Command destroyer only give links to small sized rigs ships. And can only fit 1 link per ship, and thoose are a must have on the grid. So if you see 1-2-3-4 you can "predict" what link they are using.

Other - Links for small size ships are reduce by whatever % and incressing by the class of the ship. I really dont think a BS moving 100/ms faster with MWD really does the diference but thoose 30% on some frigs or even kiting cruiser are OMFG.

You can say T3 can me almost scan immune, so you can be on the grid but be almost imune scan, but a good prober with a few implants will get you, and if you on the grid even easier/faster. T3 have no tank no weapons compared with other links ships, puting this ships on grid is a fair fight?! Like ganking miner and indys? To a expensive ship and a ship you loose SP.. nice!

I must ask will you be able to warp the link ship to 10k from fleet if even so that way if you have lucky and they dont have a lvl 5 prober the only way they will get the link ships is by burning 10k on that direction?

And i do must ask, how will people in incursion going to take the acelaration gate with a 1b t3 link ship? People in WH ...

Like honestly puting all links on grid because, of FW and small ships is not going to be fair for alot of other people!!

Maybe giving links to T2 ships and higher T2 cruiser - T3 cruiser - bs and so on... That way people wanting doing fair FW and small gang PvP all would be on the same foot. Or more drastic remove links from Low sec. Like in Null i dont think noone complains about links pure and simple. In high sec if you using ir for incursion or mission or if you a wardec coorp that is hunting. All this honestly are fine with me. I dont think links do the diferent in suicide ganks so... I think that is the only think that links dont do **** :) CONCORD power! And WH also more them ok links there.


I also come along this idea, when i though well maybe they arent going to listen to nothing of this ideas and going to do a huge nerf to links and making them useless for pvp at lest to much risk involve... and with take f@king up other part of the game... i know you pvp dont like but eve isnt all about pvp, there is mining pve exploration etc etc... So there are other that enjoy that, and the same way i understand the asking for "fair fight" i do hope i dont get flamed.

But if all link are going to be on grid independ what ships, if in high-low-nul or wh . I do must ask for a option that i think should have been implented a while ago.. SKILL POINTS REMAP. Like once per year you would be able to remap your skill points or a part of it specially the ones that are going to be nerf not rebalance NERF is the right word, that when i started training didn't know the change and invested a few month of training payed training that i can't even "change my skill points" something that i supposedly payed for it.


This where resume off some ideas i had i think great ideas come from sharing of ideas with the same objective turning stuff more fair and equal.


Sorry for the long text and ty for reading.
