Warfare & Tactics

Capitals in FW has never been an issue, but the stagnated null theatre and the resulting bored/restless blobs that spawned from said stagnation brought supers into play .. to which there is zero counter if living in low/FW other than having a batphone.

Jammer is a bad idea. It will take Goddess how many Dev hours to make work and will only be applicable for at most one hour every month or so .. kind of hard to justify development time on that if you ask me.

Better to roll the solution into the inevitable Super tweak #umpteen and strip them of their eWar invulnerability and "specials" (Titans have already done sans DD for a while) when operating outside of null. Still nothing to do about massive blobs of the damn things, but the handful or less that are in my experience the most commonly number dropped, jump in while taking a lot of risk with everyone and their mother being able to **** them up in ships readily available anywhere in Eve.
The sub-capital support fleet would become outright mandatory to avoid humiliating mails and subsequent forum posts from being generated .. as it should be.

Here's my question:

Why are people suddenly assuming that if you can't bring supercaps and caps into FW space that pirates will magically descend from the sky with their caps and sueprcaps and chew up all the FW space?

It doesn't even make sense.

EDIT: BTW IHubs, as far as structures go, have ridiculously low HP. I don't know why you would need to deploy anything bigger than a few tier3's and maybe a couple of battleships to drop one. It only takes about 15-20 minutes.

So we're assuming that the cynojammer would only affect militia pilots. That's a bit of a leap, but I can see why people would be scared of the idea.

It was mentioned that they could be temporary and affect everyone.

It was also mentioned that null entities could barter with militias to disable a permanent option on a schedule or w/e.

A lot of ideas were thrown around.

That is fine for solo & small gang of less than 5, but you know as well as anyone else that larger fights almost never happen inside plexes for obvious reasons of no one wants to be the guys entering the plex second. Honestly as bad as you Gals are about being scared to jump into Caldari gangs on normal star gates or going & reshipping at the drop of a hat and you really expect anyone will think you guys will ever come into a plex when you don't have the upper hand?

You could take your capitals out to nullsec, where they belong... but oh, then you'd actually be fighting other people with capitals.

Ick. I can see how that'd go for you.

Honestly I can't say why the larger fights don't happen more often in plexes on our war front. There is usually a lot of smaller gang and solo pvp to be had in plexes around Placid, Black Rise ect.. but when the bigger gangs are fighting each other, it's almost never in a plex unless it's a systems that both sides are fighting for heavily.. (the last I can recall for this was prior to the plex changes when we fought like mad over Rak & Aiv)

Far as the risk aversion it comes in the way of no one ever wants to fight unless they have the perfect counter for what the other side brings and I've it's a constant battle of trying to see who is gonna jump in to who on gates. Granted most Gal & Cal gangs are nanno stuff, so if it's not a BS fleet, jumping in to the other side can be problematic.

Post with your main.

Nowhere did I or anyone else state we wanted lowsec to be like nullsec in anyway. If you think that capital warfare belongs only in nullsec you're sorely mistaken at best, deluded or outright delusional at worst.

The point is, we want players in FW to be able to behave and fly the same ships as everyone else in lowsec!

Try at least to read my post and the responses to it before responding, or you'll just risk embarrassing yourself further.
Oh, right, is that why you don't post with your main?

Why are you putting words in my mouth?

Obviously a good subcap fleet with a smaller number of caps can **** a larger capital gang under the right circumstances. Especially when that fleet consists of Rooks and Kings who make it something of an art to kill capitals.

I'm simply trying to say we should be allowed to use caps in FW. For example, 1 Triage Archon.

Not sure why you replied with that

Was wondering the same thing......
