Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Hi Pot, my name's Kettle.



So there is never tidi when like 100 subcaps do something outrageous like... undock? And there's never any tidi with 2k people as long as there's no slowcats there?

You're deluded at worst, mentally challenged at best if you genuinely think that.

I mean carrier using only 5 drones(for example), while having additional bonuses to sentry ehp/dps

What don't you like about that?

Create a stacking penalty for Drone Link Augmenters.

Being able to fight from Close to Super Long Range with one ship is game-breaking for null-sec fights.

Despite what people think we simply use whatever ship comp we need to use to be able to handle the task at hand. When you are fighting a foe that brings Domis , Phoons , Tengus , Ishtars , Bombers , Ceptors & other fleet comps at the same time and outnumbers you on average 4:1 you need a durable fleet comp. Slowcats & Wrecking Ball provide that . The hostiles knowing we are going to bring slowcats have a multitude of options on how to deal with us. The most obvious one is using there own capitals and supercapitals. The gist is there is counterplay to slowcats and wreckingball. Which is the definition of balanced gameplay in a sandbox.


Now drones are entities much like missiles once were. The same missiles AAA & Stainwagon used with wild abandon despite the fact that using a missile based concept caused massive lag. They didn't use missile base ships to intentionally cause lag they used them because it was the best tool they had at their disposal. Do drones need to be reworked so they don't create excessive server load? Maybe so maybe not only CCP can answer that. As CCP stated in regards to the last few node crashes they had nothing to do with server load and everything to do with a error in the code.



I think the discussion CCP is having about drone assign is the correct approach. Its not a question of is this or that overpowered . Instead they are looking at it from the pov of : How much control should of your ship should you give over to another person. So things like fleet warps are part of that question. I personally think bombers are way overpowered. In heavy TIDI there is near 0 counterplay to stopping bombers. Since bombers can warp cloaked together you have 0 warning till they decloak and launch bombs and tidi removes the problem of having fast reactions. So bombers are already prepared to drop their bombs and warp off.

As a member of the most spacerelevant alliance in this game i approve of the rusrus / CFC tears

we now speak not about number and about lags from use of a large number of drones

this thread is nothing but "WE CANT KILL THEM; CCP PLS HALP"

@RUS RUS: maybe you should go fight goons 1000 megathrons, I guess you would come to forums and whine again, right?

1500 domis vs 250 carriers......

hmmmmm

I wonder what creates more "centry" drone lag......

Fix centry drones!

If anyone is wondering what this thread is about:

In two months of bloody SOV warfare and countless nights spent alarm clocking, they have flipped one station in exchange for 200 dead dreads and 40 massacred supercarriers. They can't win on TQ so they pinged their own jabber channels to bump and spam this thread with the assistance of google translate
