Warfare & Tactics

I trained and started to use a boost module on grid but now CCP are taking the utility slot away from T1 BC's.

So now they will all be offgrid. Opposite of what everyone wants.

CCP say one thing but do another.

no, it does not serve anything, it is just one more thread about this issue and it is on wrong forum section so ccp could just lock this now.

Try that fight again, without reducing your sig radius by an enormous amount, or increasing your AB speed by an enormous amount. You may notice you have to do more than push F1-F4 and orbit 500 to win.

DCM may have fail fit and been bad at Eve, but I don't think you can brag about "skill" when your piloting was basic enough a newbie straight out of the SoE arc could do it.

THIS ONE!!!
Wouldn´t usally happen without boosts.
Why? Because the coercer melts you before you are close enough.
But with boosts you were so fast that you got under his guns before you melted. Probably some 6k m/s???
Simple.
So don´t tell me sh....

I forget the name of the player who pointed this out, and I forget exactly how the quote goes, but something about:

"Any mechanic designed to benefit newbies will just end up benefiting veterans much more."

Thank you, yes I don't claim to be a good solo PVPer my point was exactly that it required no skill for me to engage a fit like that when the fight started at 0, yet still people use boosts as an excuse, when evidently anyone who was fresh out of SoE arc could have done the same, boosts or otherwise.


Edit: if anyone disputes the numbers the firetail has a 2X tracking advantage over a coercer in this case, before the TD is even activated, with TD it is 3X, Without boosts. I probably had x-instinct in the cargo as well, although I doubt I would have used it in this case which would have improved that even further.

Will be removed as soon as it can be done without breaking the server.

Botters use that same logic. They grind up that isk and put effort into botting, why shouldn't they be safe while in high-sec? If you want to compete with botters, then you should bot, see, perfectly fair.

Get ******, that accounts for a good 10 kills a day for me...

One thing I have noticed in the majority of 'OMG NERF OGB's!" threads is the lack of willingness to actually try and engage the boosting alt.
This lack of willingness stems from two reason that I have experienced
1. Lack of ability to fly ships that can gank the alt on gates etc.
2. Lack of ability/desire to form a fleet to remove that annoying small pos in system that holds the boosting toon.

Now some of this is down to size/experience of people's corps/factions/alliances or whatever but I also think it may have a lot to do with a big amount of apathy among players who have just accepted boosts as a 'norm' in eve.
We need more people who are willing to try and disrupt the OGB'ing toon whever they may be. After all if the booster is on station and you force them to dock up then boosts are no longer applied. Same if you force them to jump to adjacent systems.
The hardest to combat is POS boosting toons. Well if a system is important enough to fight over then remove the pos. Easy said but alot harder to get done given the apathy that has seemingly set in with the average pvp'er (FW pvp'ers in particular)


If we start smashing boosting alts at every opportunity it make them much less attractive. And once we smash the booster if you turn off/dock up/jump out your own boosting toons you also show that you are willing to engage unboosted so you engender a mentality that boosts are not 'required' or 'necessary' and people will leave them out more often.

There is nothing in eve to stop us changing peoples perceptions and thought patterns....it is after all a sandbox and way too many people are letting other players dictate how they play it.


Hmmm I might have found a new hobby.... ......How successful I'll be however is up for debate but it'll be fun along the way.
