EVE New Citizens Q&A

10/10

Did you stop to think that the group that jumped you after you attacked their bait was also expecting you to be the bait for another fleet? That is where they were also taking a risk. You speak as if that fleet had any idea of what you had in plan for them. The only issue is that you had no plan.

Just because you were only on step 1 and the others were planning for steps 2-4 doesnt mean they are the ones without a sense of sportsmanship. You simply brought no sport. This is an MMO.

EVE is an MMO. Not a single player game....and while I fly solo alot or with 1 or 2 other guys, the fact is the game rewards you for grouping with other players. Did you even check to see if any of the ruppy pilot's corp/alliance mates were in local? Or play stupid noob and let him agress and take the guns instead of giving him a free limited engagement timer in which to fight you?

As for ECM it is a force multiplier that is sometimes over-done but in several fights Ive been in a couple falcons or scorpions let a smaller fleet dominate a larger fleet who didn't have the ewar capacity to deal with them. And now days I see more ecm than damage drones so either figure out how to fit against being jammed or avoid fights where your probably going to die.

For someone who professes not to care about a loss and even wanted to get blown up you seem to have cried a aweful lot about having successfully completed your wish....

Firstly, the OP's grammar is horrible to the point that I can hardly follow what he was talking about.

Secondly, engaging a red ruppy on a gate without checking thoroughly for his buddies is a great way to die. Flashy reds didn't get that way, typically, by engaging hurricanes solo with their ruppy. If he was actually solo, he would've disengaged somehow unless he thought you were a moron/noob. You died the second you decided to engage him without a backup/escape plan of your own.

Please refrain from complaining about ewar before you've mastered basic tactics here :D

Fighting fair sucks... by definition you give yourself a 50% chance of losing.

Always stack the odds.

Remember the rules of a gun fight:
1. Bring a gun, in fact bring two guns
2. Invite your friends, tell them to bring guns

And in low/null:

4. At least one cyno.

Same here.

At least he wasnt perma jammed if that happened, as there wasnt time to jam him with a proper hot drop.

6. A titan?

7. PL

8. Asakai Part 2.

1. Several ways. The most obvious is bring your own E-War. Another is train the appropriate anti-ECM compensation skills. Drone boats tend to do well vrs ECM since once you get your drone on them they'll keep attacking even if you lose your lock. Finally, understand that in a 4 vrs 1 fight you are going to die anyway.

You can technically fit ECCM but outside of Logis no one actually does that because it's a wasted slot anytime you don't fight ECM.

2. It adds a lot of variety to the game. Without E-war the game would be simplified down to everyone just applying max damage to the primary and seeing who dies first. E-war makes things more tactical and adds advantages and disadvantage to various weapon systems. For example, Energy Neuts completely hose laser boats but projectile turrets don't require cap and just keep on firing. Turrets in general get the advantage of dealing damage instantly but missiles are immume to tracking disruptors. It makes the game deeper.

It also allows for playstyles and fleet concepts that wouldn't normally exist. For example Black Ops would not exist if not for E-war. The primary form of DPS for Black Ops is paper thin bombers kept alive only because E-war prevents them from being targeted.
