EVE General Discussion

I thought you were fine with the change because your real strength is your sheer number of players. Without powerful ships these other alliance will not be able to stand in the way of your herds.

But it is sort of funny to read about how you goons seem so concerned about bc gangs getting ganked. I guess you guys do care after all.

How are you making that silly statement from what I said? You have to be EXTRMEMLY narrow reader & gloss over what I said as a whole

Silly reply to be honest, Of course you have to have a cap ship that can kill multiple lower class ships otherwise all those alliances that have 4 or 5 times the number of players that your alliance has just steamroller on in.
TIDI is just a placebo for people to stop complaining about lag, it's still shite being in a large fleet fight. Just another silly little indicator to look at whilst your waiting for you turrets to fire once every 30 mins.

Just seems like people aren't having an easy time of it and aren't happy that having the numbers makes no difference.

Quality over quantity should be your motto.

Why not? happens in Modern warfare every day? I'm sure in the future it would be the same as well. I think what you saying is you don't like the fact that having hundreds upon hundreds of players in your alliance makes no difference?
If anything they should make them easier to kill nothing else.

If only there existed capital hulls that could field up to 15 light/medium/heavy/e-war drones and/or sentries and/or fighters at a time ... oh well it would probably break the game so it's probably for the best that there's not.



10-15B is a pretty negligible amount of isk in this economy. Fitting an officer sebo on your 100B isk hull shouldn't be a thing if you really feel the need to squeeze extra performance out of it.

It's not like Titans actually die in this game so I'd say your investment will remain pretty safe right there in your midslot.

You mean the war in which we took out the nation that had 1950 era tanks and one aircraft that didn't work or the other two with decayed 1970s military?

Brilliant mind at work here.

Why are there so many people that think "Gosh if I only had a ship that would let me defeat the blob, I would has a happy," but they can't seem to look one step further and realize, "Gosh, it would sure suck to have to fight off a blob of those anti-blob ships."

It. Will. Always. Be. About. Numbers.

2 > 1

It's one of those fundamental things about the universe that can't be legislated, coded, whined about or persuaded to change.

At least not until CCP changes combat mechanics in a way where damage / remote reps does not stack infinitely well.

(One theoretical fix might be that as the debris field builds around the ship each tick, incoming damage gets modulated downward in some fashion. But since the server operates on 1-sec ticks that might just make alpha-fleets even more powerful. Especially if they use a mouse/keyboard distribution tool to make all clients on the PC fire their salvos at the exact same instant.)

If you have a numbers problem, better revisit your strategie.
If you don't understand that it's bad for you at the end if you want to grow your alliance populace is not by tax those as a pitch, rent space for astronomic amounts of isk with false promises just to get your beloved minerals.
What for?- to build more caps and titans and then claim your ubber 1000K man fleet can annihilate a 7.5K man fleet?

Now how far is game breaking a 200man fleet of titans is when it can one shot at the exact same time 200 ships with a single shot and without using a single time their DD, more titans to shoot titans...do you really think goons can't align 1K supers/titans?

For those wining about titans tracking nerf all I have to say is: Tell us all too why is normal battleships can't one shot dramiels at 12Km/s nor 200m/s velators orbiting their guns, please go ahead and explain me that, I'd really like to understand why you should be able to hit my cane orbiting your XL guns at 1200m/sec with 800m rad but still 1200m/sec when you're not supposed to hit whatever under capital size?

The point is that this has nothing to do with goons, it's a game breaking problem that had to be solved by someone and seems they get things done some other couldn't.
I don't like some of them more than you do but to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, they're doing some good stuff and this Titan crap is a good thing that I'll support because it's good for the game.

Also:I don't think it's in goons own interest to be blue to everyone just because it can bring numbers, they would get bored and probably collapse (shoot each other they already do that)
Try to fight them in small gangs you'll see, they always come to fights and will always give you a fair and good fight.

If you are going to ignore the real world than why are you arguing about sanity? It may not happen in the internet spaceship universe you imagine but that doesn't mean I’m insane if it happens in the one I dream of.

Also look at the Spanish versus the indigenous people of South America. There are slews of examples throughout history where better technology means one soldier can be worth hundreds.

Also your difficulties about getting hundreds of people in drakes doesn't mean it should be an automatic I win button if you succeed. The herd mentality of eve is hardly something that should be promoted even more.

Finally why bring battlecruisers to fight titans? Because every noob in your alliance wants to feel they are just as powerful as players who have invested years of time in the game? Why does the game have to be such that a battlecruiser fleet can beat a titan fleet and the titans can do nothing but bring herds of battcruisers themselves?
