Warfare & Tactics

why anybody should care about 10-man BC gang being dropped by super-puper-cap-fleet? You organized gang, you went for fights, you got it. I would care about ganking solo pilot (miner, ratter, mission runner, traveler) by this 10-man BC gang instead. Which happens a lot more often.....

I think CCP is on the way to nerf the supa.

While we are on the subject, surely a Dread is small enough to use gates to get into 0.7 systems to POS bash, it is only the size of a Freighter after all.

haha, good one.

Also, as to the topic of thread. I get this feeling that you feel abuse and the poor oh little pirates of lowsec can't have anymore fun cause the big bad supers come in with an "i win" button.

Hmm interesting philosophy but false. No one said you had to fight the super, and as for a pos fight situation. poses aren't that expensive. and neither are triage carriers.

Eve isn't easy. Let's keep it that way.

There is always a counter to any fight.

"250 Hellcats inbound sir! They have us outmanned and outgunned. What are we going to do?" "catnip of course......."

The tec II drake, with citadel torps looks cool, but I'm thinking tec II raven, with more citadel torps, cov ops cloak and a huge bomb launcher, with bombs eight times a destructive area and power.

A small squad of these should be enough to cause mass log-off, within the ranks of the supa pilots, and arty hurricanes would have to be deployed to insta-pop them.

But then, what would be the point in getting a supa

FML, a double post. Not used to having "Quote" on the left and "edit" on the right.

I kind of like this.

I mean... many of us in lowsec chose lowsec to avoid the blobs, overshipping, and massive capital fleets that infest 0.0.

Imbecile:

When did I ever say I thought ganking/blobbing is "good PvP?" The idea is to find a fight, not murder some lonely carebear.

Methinks the projection is strong in your ****-post

Post with your main, you coward, and then you can criticise others for a perceived (wrongly, I might add) lack of balls.

What's the matter, mate? The possibility--or bu now, maybe/hopefully I should say, near-certainity--of an SC nerf going to make all your grand botting efforts moot?

Whinging little punk, **** off.

My answer to this is simply buff Dreadnoughts. Already mentioned by several others on several other threads.
Just repeating.

The seige-cycle/mechanic would have to be totally re-invented, for starters--10min is way too long!

(Oh, and just by the bye, where are the capital-size neuts/NOS', smart-bombs, shield extenders, armour-plates, and prop-mods?)

That aside, though, the dreadnought class is baaaaaadly in need of some love, we all can agree there, I think.

Hmmmm....maybe it's just because I don't like BS' much, except as mission- and/or suicide-gank ships--I have terrible luck with them in PvP, always freakin' lose 'em, plus, the biggest thing for me, they're just no fun to fly--but I think the BC's mobility and lower signature radius would make that chassis better for this, whilst its' lower EHP would ensure it's not O/P, and also ensure that it would have to work as one part of a team (no solo pwn-mobiles here!).

In any case, the tier 2 BS chassis' tech II variant already has an explicit role, the Marauder, whereas the Tier 3 chassis--Rohk in the Caldari race's case--doesn't.

Also, either:

A) The new hull would need the ability to field an infini-point (scripted only in Empire, 'natch) to tackle the SC

or,

B) The existing HICTORs would need to get the ability to transit the covert jump-bridge to tackle the SCs

or yet,

C) With no other changes, the SC would have to be made "tackle-able" by standard warp-jamming modules.

I'd lean towards (B) or (C), as this would--theoretically, at least--keep the size of the gang needed lower (ca. 15 men, maximum).
