EVE Alliance Tournament Discussion

I think quite alot of difficulties teams faced could be avoided if everybody tried to figure out how would they play on clean eve installation. One of the biggest issues with limited setup time - setting the shortcuts, overview, etc etc - was pretty much expected. We had a short list of essential settings to do which took no more than 2-3 minutes, plus most of them could be done (the shortcut part which is the longest for me) at character selection screen.

However, few things were quite surprising - like absence of +20% ammo (domi, guardian) and 6% implants. Such things may change whole setups or even meta, because e.g. lack of high-damage ammo makes high-damage setups slightly less powerful, and vice versa for compositions which rely on tank. Would be cool to know about such things before tourney starts.

Also people watching the ships you brought - i think people overestimate its impact. You shouldn't care much about it unless enemy team is fielding ECM setup, and given ECM setup were terribad in this format you shouldn't care about it at all.

But these things aside, tourney was good, cheers to the teams we've fought.
