EVE General Discussion

See, the problem here is that what you have stated is not a fact, but a matter of opinion.

I think we can agree that low-sec should be an area for small-medium sized groups of people doing their thing, and that null-sec is the place for large empire building groups to do their thing.

But that is a completely different matter than whether supers should be allowed to be offensive in low-sec or not.

In a fictional ideal world, only the small to medium sized groups living low-sec could use them in low-sec, but not the huge null sec alliances. But, that is completely unworkable, so obviously not a solution.

I guess what I'm saying is, if that super was just 1 super, you should have been able to either GTFO or kill it. So in that regard, you guys failed for loosing your caps.


But in reality, there were probably more supers waiting from wherever that one jumped from, waiting for him to call for help. Hell, maybe he was even bait for an escalation.

So yea, it sucks, but not a whole lot that can be done about it. I guess, you will have to , well, adapt or something.

edit:

Since you will inevitably ask how you could have done better, let me help.
1) Bring in a carrier at range and try to save the dread. Probably a bad idea, since WN. super prolly has friends.
2) Bring in logistics ships and try to keep the dread alive. You had 3 bs pilots, they should have logistics ships nearby, surely. Or you could carrier them over to a station, etc.
3) Bring a bumping ship. Maybe something with an oversized AB. Bump your dread the **** out of the way.
4) Don't leave your darn cyno up after cynoing in. Use something cheap and blow it up afterwards. No need for you to put a big bright spot on the map showing you had 1 up. You do know that solar system map shows active cyno's, right? If had a super and was bored, I would look for all the stationless systems with cynos up.

. So this pathetic mining allaince in low sec will have its POS always there because no one can smash it fo fear of being hot dropped?

.

Make Supers have NO offensive ability in low sec.

They can move through to travel, but they are for SOV HOLDING ALLIANCES!! Not for hot dropping random targets in low sec!!!

And yes I am mad. I just lost a Rev and barely got out my Moros. Killing a POS in low sec and a random Null sec guy hot drops ONE super on us. Our BSes fall trying to pop his fighter bombers to save the two dreads. He pulls them in and put out fighters. We can't kill his fighters so the BSes die. Then my Rev can't get out either before succumbing to the Supercarrier.

I just thought that the nerf was supposed to make them not taken out solo. They would need support. Apparantly they are STILL WTFSOLOPWNMOBILEs.

Low sec can't be for us mid sized alliances and corps fighting over POSes and POCOs without worrying about supers.

If I got dropped by 10 dreads and carriers or titan bridged by thier support too thats fine. That takes people.

a SOLO Nyx taking out ALL our ships is ********. We aren't going to fight over things in low sec because we are too scared now we will lose another Dread. We don't have Tech moons to fuel cap ship funds. We can't even moon mine since the sec isn't low enough.

Dread buff and Super nerfs were not enough. Maybe they were enough for null but we NEED low sec to be about smaller ships fighting. Dreads and carriers at the biggest. Should be a stepping stone to null.

Not assigning fighters and no DDD in low sec isn't enough. REMOVE all offensive abilties of supers in low sec.

That will help low sec grow into a more populated area....

and YES I'M MAD BRO.

But I'm not quitting so you can't have my stuff.

Wow, did you guys even read the OP?

So the OP is pissed off because his ace (dread against pos) was trumped by a joker (sc versus dread.) He thought he could bash with immunity some helpless little pos like a schoolyar bully and is now sour grapes when the apparent big brother shows up and returns the favor.
