Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Like most obvious solutions, its obvious because its overly simplistic and wrong. Bubbles only work in nullsec; this would leave the problem untouched in lowsec, and any other time there is no bubble present. Escaping gate camps reliably isnt a problem; evading return fire while effortlessly maintaining point because weapons cant reach you, cant track you, or get all their explosion damage speed tanked, especially in ceptor gangs, was out of control.

80% of people in losec and hisec are not in inties.

That suggests to me the problem lies with SOV or maybe bubble mechanics.

Perhaps the fact that 80% of null use inties now suggests bubbles are too good ? Maybe even more ships need to be interdiction nullified BUT bubbles get some sort of other buff like an inherent effect on all ships align time in compensation?

The issue is a lot more complex than "boost inties/nerf inties"

You're terrible and here's why:

• Scan resolution is hard capped by CCP now under 3K
• The scan resolution isn't about a *chance* to lock the target
• The server operates on ticks and tocks, but your latency still matters. Lower latency means a more favorable response from the servers so if you're on dial-up still...get better internet service.
• People use inties because they are still squishy enough where people will engage them instead of hiding in their POS shield or docked inside their outposts.
• I don't understand how you lose anything ratting in null sec unless awox'd. Local chat is the most powerful intelligence tool in game. If it were delayed I could understand it...but this just means you're bad and should go back to high sec and learn to play eve again.
• Inties are also used because they can warp through bubbles and make great shuttles or just good for killing silly mining groups with no protection. You 10+ account isboxers know who you are and you should get ganked every once in a while. It isj't wrong to use the ship...it is simply the natural counter to the ridiculous number of systems locked down by spammed bubbles. Or have you never been to any of the drone regions?
• One web on a ceptor an its nearly done for if it engages...you can also use ECM, target painters, smartbombs, rapid light missile launchers, quad light beam lasers, 75mm gatling rails, 125mm light ac's, warrior II drones, remote sensor boosters, cheap t1 frigates with nearly the same speed and ehp that you can blob with, electronic attack frigates...the sentinel can insta-incap a ceptor from 30K.

I don't understand your crying. If you rat in a domi all you need is some energy neuts and to align and have a MJD ready. If he's long pointing from 30K+ he can't stop you from MJDing off and if he's in scram range you can neut the **** out of him and still warp or MJD. This is even more true for the armageddon. Other BS like the raven might not have quite the heavy neut power of the domi but you can figure it out can't you?

Most of all watch local chat...if its not blue align and warp out. Oh and don't rat like 20,000K from the gate...you are asking for it. By the way we bookmark your sites so if you come back to them and start on the same ones (as you do) we can just warp to a wreck that you're likely to be next to. Stop being bad...or keep it up so we can farm you harder. Either way ceptors aren't broken...they are just marginally better than they used to be for travel. You bears brought this on yourselves by walling up every system in Malpais.

you are terrible and no you shouldn't catch every single interceptor, nor even the majority because you want to. They are fast and agile. That means they can engage and disengage from a fight. Stop relying on bubbles for your pvp and camping like a retread. Just HTFU and go for a roam.

People fly them because getting caught in bubbles suck and you should at least have to try hard to point them. Jeeze you need everything served on a silver platter don'tcha my little snowflake?

The fastest ships on a grid should never have been given interdiction as a hull feature. Interdictors maybe so that you aren't bubbling yourself everytime you drop a bubble.

interceptors agility has been nerfed because they were "impossible to catch" and yet there are still covop frigs that take less than a second to decloak and cloak again while warping away from gate
well done, well done

you're wrong

Shut up sov bear. Something fast and hard to catch will almost always be multi-purpose. It doesn't substitute assault frigs or EAS, or any other t2 frigate. It doesn't supplant T3's for a myriad of reasons the least of which your tiny brain cannot comprehend.

You are clearly relying on bubbles for primary tackle even if you have remote boosted everything on the gate. Transport ships do not have bubble immunity and no one is using inties instead of them for critical hauling. You giant null bears have jump bridges to get around critical areas and people roaming in your space don't have that advantage. Nevermind the cyno beacons for your cap movements.

yes I do get caught in bubbles as I don't have a complete set of tacticals for all the null sec systems in EVE thank you very much. I have some for popularly camped systems...but W-space openings are fairly random so going out to solo roam can often lead to me getting ganked by your 3 man crew with insta-locking long web everything from 50K.

OMG webs from 47K! *dies*. Also I am glad you are mad. I will drink those tears like fine scotch.
