EVE General Discussion

This benefits everyone. I dont care if this ends up resulting in the destruction of our space and us getting turfed into lowsec by some scrub alliance. For years I fought against the NC in our small alliance in venal. We beat them back cosistently, venal was a thorn in their side they could never conquor. Before that it was the russian block, before them it was TRI, before them it was BoB, before them it was ASCN and all of the little guys in between.

The current titan war waggons would make all of what we managed in the past impossible if they were around back then. We would not have held the space and the fantasticly talented FCs I flew with over the years would not have had their legondary victories.

When ppl fight only in blobs they dont get there is more then one way to play this game.

LOL. No Baltec it doesnt. Specifically it doesn't benefit your old arch enemies Raiden, it doesnt benefit most drone russian alliances and it certainly does not benefit PL. What does these alliances have in common? Oh yes. They are your enemies in-game right now.

Indeed a plausible outcome for the biggest and probably best organized nullsec alliance in the game.

They couldnt conquer NPC nullsec? I think thats sorta intended dude.


I seem to remember multiple instances the last four years calling for nerfs of diffrent so-called "I win buttons". Yet, in this apparently harsh environment, spectacular victories were scored.

Yes. Stupid men are often capable of things the clever would not dare to contemplate.

Or - in your case - a bigger blob

Because goons started out with everything you see today...

Using blob tactics has been a Goon signature tactic for as long as it has existed. You are not alone in this ofc, but this is your main modus operandi and has always been. Right now titans > blob, and you dont like it, which is fine.

What I dont like is a solution that will just remove titan and free the goon blob. I'd like to see a more balanced way forward. And introducing a true rock-paper-scissors capital game available as low entry (like dreads/carriers) for everybody I think is much better than just freeing the blob.

Question is why CCP dont want to Boost Dreads ?

There isn't really "blobbing" in nullsec, its expected when you're fighting the largest alliance in the game. Goons originally came in droves simply because at the beginning the skill point average of the average goon was terribly small, <5m typically, and we accomplished many victories outclassed and outgunned.

I love this foolish proposal that maneuvering multiple fleets of all kinds of people is simple and effortless. Plain and simple, SuperCaps shouldn't be able to hit Sub-Capitals, with any success. The very fact that they can makes them extremely difficult to counter without more Supers. Currently 50 titans can all target the same person, all fire, and if one titan scores a hit, that ship is space dust; in essence they can effectively dwindle even the largest fleets before they can become a threat, all any supporting subcaps need to do is clear the field of bubbles and dictors/hictors and the titans can blap away. This is wrong. Especially since they can effectiely reduce the chances of killing even the smallest ships to practically 0 in less then 5 vollies, without being in danger.

I am not saying that Supers shouldn't be able to lock onto subcap ships and attempt to defend themselves, but it should be an attempt, not guarunteed success. No ship regardless of price, mineral cost or build time should be able to engage hostile fleets outnumbered 50:1 and not be in grave danger, being an exceptional pilot is one thing (read: Garmon, Gods Coldblood, Hera Darkthorne) but you shouldn't be able to train for a few months, sit in a ship, and be relatively safe.
