Oh take a hike!

The youtube videos are a valuable insight into the development process and the vision of the future.

If you weren't such a fool in my opinion you would log in to see that patch after patch has addressed the overview issues and they are still working on it.

So instead of taking a dump on the topic how about getting edumacated eh?

When a company ignores clients, the clients end up speaking in places that may seem inappropriate, but the lesson in this is to maintain a two way feedback channel, because clients don't shut up when you ignore them, they get even more irritated.


You may think this sort of thing helps CCP, but it doesn't. It just turns off clients who are trying to get answers to technical changes. Your behavior compounds the damage CCP incurs when it doesn't respond to feedback. What you're promoting is a "sit down and shut up" atmosphere which never ends well for anyone.

Minmatar aren't overpowered, either.

Hello? McFly?

Very unforgiving of pilot-error?
Less tank in most cases, much less in some (Vagabond = giant interceptor, basically)?
Tracking + range needed to be taken into account whilst piloting?
Micro-management of cap + tank if you use the ships that are active shield-tanked/bonussed for same?
Can be perma-jammed by a flight of light ECM drones?

(Want me to go on? Because I can.)

Just because you don't know how to fly a ship/counter it's strengths with strengths of your own is no reason to scream it's OP, either.

Though I'm sure you will anyway.

You forgot the best example of minmatar ships not being overpowered which was when arty became semi usable it was fitted on abaddons since you still get the same alpha as a mael but with easier fitting and far more hitpoints and a few other advantages.

Can't be bothered digging the link to the regularly updated top20 up again as nothing has really changed in the past six plus months .. well over half of all ships used/lost in PvP are Matari and they take well over half the slots of used ships on the top20 ..

But you are right of course, all is well when a 25% highly specialised (speed, rapid dps) faction accounts for that large a portion .. hybrid buff changed it a little though but was barely a dent in the overall picture.

On topic: When/where are you (CCP) going to give us all the promised info on plans for FW? I have lost track of all the deadlines of broken promises to date, the FF blue-ball last year seems to have become the modus operandi when it comes to FW as you consistently and constantly conveniently forget promises made.

Throwing us a bone is no longer on the table, we need a whole bloody cow (or whale if easier for you northerners) at this point!

Oh right, hey devs any attempts to reintroduce non-consensual PvP into highsec (which I'm getting is your vaguely alluded to goal) is pointless as long as things like NPC corps and decshields are allowed to remain for people to put their industry/logistics alts in.

Jump clone. Or, fly in lowsec and don't get podded.

I'm a huge proponent of fixing high sec (non-consensual) war decs. The NPC corps are not a problem at all, however. If people want to carebear it up there is a penalty in place, namely NPC corp tax and the lack of shared resources, POSes, corp hangers, etc. That's fine. If they want to take that hit in order to not be vulnerable to high sec war than fine. If you are in a small corp start-up and have a power of 2 logistics alt... well that's just par for the course. Everyone has those... especially nullsec'ers and pirates. However, if you are in a larger corp doing serious space industry business, a major corp or even a marginal alliance, having your logistics guys in an NPC corp becomes a very big hassle. Again, with regards to NPC logi alts, the appropriate penalties are already in place. It's expensive to live in a box. I could get into a freighter docking fee if you are in an NPC corp though...

Decshields, corp/alliance hopping, or other methods of evading a legitimate dec on a player corp, on the other hand, are not OK and make war decs untenable/completely f****** pointless. That is part of what they need to fix. Also, the stacking penalty for multiple decs needs to be looked at and reduced in my opinion. They nerfed the hell out of it by creating that terrible stacking penalty because of the Privateers... but I think they went way too far. Decs have since been 1) too expensive to wage at a sustainable rate if war is your business (lower the maintenance of a dec cost, reduce stacking penalty to 10%) and 2) pointless because target corps just hop alliances (looking at you ISK Six) leaving you paying for the dec without having a war. Additionally, it's rendered highsec POS's virtually invulnerable (extend 24 hour 'cooldown' for dropping corp to 2 weeks while at war. Likewise, create a 2 week transfer delay for dropping/changing alliances while a war dec is active).

I for one am really looking forward to Inferno. I really hope they make good on the war fixes. The only reason I don't care that I'm -10 is that war decs are pointless.

You want to be back in EVE...Come on, you know you want to!

Popular =/= overpowered.

And there are many, many counters to Minmatar ships. (Curse? Ever heard of it?)
