The only thing I noticed is that somewhere in EVE there is a system named Ham.

If a single T1 cruiser would have jumped through the gate you were camping - would you have ganked him? Yeah - thought so...

Provided comparable ship classes, more should always be better when it comes to an actual engagement - I agree however that there should be at least one single drawback to blobbing like reduced warp speed with increased fleet size, stacking penalties on a targets sigradius or something...


well if your FC isn't a complete tool you might actually get that when you align and let everyone get to speed so you don't end up leaving that plate domi behind to get picked off



That wasn't my point - you have some advantage if you have a small, homogenous, well coordinated gang comprised of people knowing each other and having a fricking clue what they do, but concerning game-mechanics, there is absolutely no single drawback in having the bigger blob, which leads to the mindless 'ctrl-click fleet window broadcasts, hit f1 or get-primaried-instapop' pvp prevalent in huge parts of the game nowadays.

I love small gang pvp just for the fun of it, but from a strategic POV, there currently is hardly a point in doing it.

I hope they introduce stuff like raidable moon mining POSes as they said - drawbacks to blobs would be heaven, but I doubt it will happen.

Anyway - it's leading OT - just wanted to express that whining about blobs is entirely pointless.

Where?

Oh yea... you made that up.
And besides, who cares if I/we jump onto the "blob the other guy" bandwagon. It does not make it good and it does not mean that we would want to do it Vs something better. Blob unto others as they blob unto you is the current rule of EVE's gameplay, and there is nothing wrong with asking for better.

See how your own FC cleverly positioned you 900m off the gate ?

See how the enemy FC not so cleverly positioned his fleet spread between 100km and 147 km from the gate ?

See that enemy Thanatos on the Field that can't use gates anyway ?

See how 2 of the enemy fleet are stuck burning cyno's for 10 minutes ?

If I was your FC I'd say "jump, activate MWD, burn for the sun" ...

However there is something terribly wrong with asking for something better that you are not willing to contribute to.

I remember the first time I joined a big null alliance. 40 man gatecamp for my first PvP op.

Quit the next day.

U have a stupid problem don't you?
At least it don't hurt, though the world would be a better place if it did. Your imaginary solution does not work when a target/targets that you are aggression spreads points and opens a titan bridge. So you see, your imaginary solution is merely a result of your stupid problem.



And as for improving the PVP side of the game play... oh where to begin.
I am not afraid to say that we could use improvements and just about anything would be better then what we have now.

You then became a AFK cloaky alt spy and called that PvP.

yeah, i've thought capitals were lame since they've been in game. I don't mind carriers and dreads so much but SCs and Titans are ******* lame. It was cool when everyone and their cat didn't have them.

ok, you got two options:
1. know who the blobbers are and RUN if they jump in
2. go to w-space and enyoj small gang combat.
