HAHA GET REKT NERDS.

you tend to be incorrect

There's mechanics so bad and unbalanced, that changes are more than welcome, dreadblapping and solo dread are great examples of that ;)

It's obvious that the Dread changes will affect Cap Escalations in WH space, and of course Citadel attacks.

Which means CCP will hopefully rebalance Cap escalations. So maybe instead of a large wave of Sleeper BS for the escalation it's more like 1-2 Capitals with 3-4 BS where the Caps can't hit the subs and visa versa. That way you are forced to bring a dread/carrier into the site (one because you need to initiate the spawn) and two a sub cap fleet to kill the smaller ships. From my understanding CCP wants caps to HAVE to rely on subs for survival.

Right now you maybe not have the endless sites like incursions but you can run them with only a few accounts or less which means a few people getting really rich. With a new setup CCP might be forcing fleets that are setup to run Cap Escalations.

I would say that they should also change the site spawning mechanic as we all know that WH's will collect sites until they eventually despawn which means people will go into other WHs and activate all the sites just to get more to spawn into theirs.

They should make the site spawning similar to NS where the class determines how many and what type are permanently there, maybe with a random chance for special sites to spawn. Then all you have to do is adjust the loot to time rewards to determine how to bring WHs in line with NS or something like that.

Everyone is getting hung up on how the dread changes are going to hurt WHs, but all it means is that CCP needs to adjust Cap Escalations to match the Dread changes.

Is that why you have a Thread in your Forum for Smartbombfarming C6 RG?

Also i doubt that those mechanics are related with dreads in any way, as this thread is about them and not farming escalations ;)

I'd prefer sleeper capitals and a rework of escalations, including moving some money from escalations to the waves themselves.

Atleast we were risking the capitals and a sizeable amount of battleships by keeping them on grid?
And before you say that that method was equally as riskless...

That's quite different than warping unrigged istabbed capitals to a ping on a site and then using a 40m ship to farm without risk. Unless you're dropbears & pets or these guys.

It's pretty obvious CCP already has some kind of idea what they're going to be doing with capital escalations.

Ah yes, the classic 'when your argument has run its course start saying they're butthurt' maneuver.

Also, how is this the wrong thread? This thread is about the announced Dread changes and how that will affect capital escalations in W-Space. CCP knows that escalations would be unrunnable with the proposed changes so they are working on changing them up from what they are to something that has sleeper capitals, probably to be pushed out the same time as the Dread changes.

E: Have YOU tried catching a hyperspatial istabbed capital escalating at a ping? You should try it out. Atleast with hero dreading you're committing to a siege cycle or two. Red Giant farming is the most risk free isk in W-Space.

Could you link said kill because I just had a quick look through the past 6 months of your killboard and can't seem to find it? tia.

Dude people are still having trouble running the current escalations in 2015, if CCP were to change it up to be something like 2-4 sleeper capitals and 12 BS then alot of people are boned. Keep in mind that CCP currently wants to make it so capital guns won't beable to touch anything non-capital. You'll NEED subcap DPS.

Are you still using over 80 bombs to clear a quad wave when it only requires 30 or so? Did you know that sometimes people tornado gank singled out ships in incursion fleets? Yeah I guess that makes incursion isk 100% balanced. Don't give me that crap, anyone with half a brain can copy a fit and make bomber warpins.
