NPC Dreads can alpha an entire squad off the field in seconds. Odd... as a PVP dread can't even track them well enough to hit them... How come an NPC dread can?



Cause NPC Dreads are designed for anti-interceptor warfare. In order to make that happen they one-shot every frigate from 0 to 300km.
And obviously since they are made to track frigates perfectly they can easily track your fighters. It's not that complicated to understand dude.

Especially since you can now almost track fighters with regular Dreads (:

Dam just spent a lot of isk and time training carriers to be used in big fleet battles, iv been doing a lot of testing on my alt at agro in havens and so on and I'm always loosing fighters even when I get them to orbit its tuff and they don't have webs. I suppose ill just train a nag or moros. LOL support fighters are a bit of a joke maybe if one drone did tracking and neuting, damping or neuting etc. never seen them ever been used yet.

NPC does not aggro carrier at all. 100% of aggro goes to fighters. Lost 8 t2 fighters in last 40 minutes. Before, i lost maximum 1 fighter per 2 months.

Law is same for all. Problem is not "carrier nerf" but game accessiblity. If you buy a car with special ammenagement for exemple : change speed upper, and accelration/break. beacause for X reason you want avoid to use you're leg (or you can't). You go to garage after 3 Month to a normal survey of you're car and you're selle said: "ok we have remove all option, now use you're leg". For the law it's a change of accessiblity. Same appear with game.

Solve is easy : Make fighter orbit automatically after a kill. CCP have answer they want to do it: So do it fast to don't penalise people who can'"t push W in same time of mouse using (or don't want game don't make obligation to use mouse+keyboard same times before so...).

I like the idea of fighter counterplay, because even moderately-sized massed carrier fleets are just ridiculously good against virtually all subcaps right now. However, I feel that this isn't really about counterplay; it's a straight up nerf. A raw sig radius increase basically makes the counter to fighters anything with medium guns. which is a large percentage of subcap fleets. I would rather see a reduction in EHP with the old sig. That way, destroyer and frigate support fleets would gain value in larger fights while carriers would remain very strong against unsupported cruisers and higher. It would reward more creative fleet design and gives a useful role to newbies in big fights.

you want devs to see it go to reddit. What? did you think they would use their own forums over a third party? why would they do that

They don't use forum, only to make announcement or in game event. They have beug they really don't care unless they looze player or tacke a legal action in they're face. Mayve it's CCP Seagulls fault: want to launch more updtae, always more things, but to avoid very little extension "speed some change". And so we looze stability for the game.

Idea to Seagulls to make a lot of little extension is not bad, but sometimes you must said "ok no, we are not ready we will publish this in some days or next extention".

No auto orbit of fighter after kill is one of this problem they just forget beacause they have speed develop other thing in the same times to make more new ability in game.
