Player Features and Ideas Discussion

If you have a better suggestion, that doesn't break something else about the game, to make sniping and brawling both equally viable then by all means suggest away, but this suggestion isn't it.

I wasn't being patronizing, I was being perfectly serious. If you have a better suggestion than "use Tactical Destroyers for range control" to balance brawling and sniping in the meta then by all means post it.

So where exactly will I warp if the fight takes place at random safe spot? If there are many ships spread in space, what will be considered to be a "warp-in beacon" for the purposes of, well, warping in? What will stop people from scanning a warp-in with probes since your ship will likely be long-pointed in many cases? How would you go about another combatant dropping a point for a second to get a warp-in, a scheme that would pretty much nullify this idea? How does it help brawling if most sensible response to such circumstances will be warping in a blob of long-ranged ships? Is it not counter-productive to your premise that with this change it will be harder for brawlers to get a warp-in onto a tackled kiter? Well, actually, screw that - how it is a buff to brawling when your change makes it harder to get on top of target while not affecting those with long-ranged weaponry (again)?
