This is funny coming from somebody who didn't know you could fit smaller guns to a BS if you wanted and didn't even spend the 10 seconds it would take to test this before crying on the forums.

How about you dedicate some time and effort to learning how the game works and how to counter frigates instead of begging for CCP to spoonfeed you?


Oddly, on the killboard that was linked earlier, he lost a Maelstrom with 200 MM guns to a battleship. I laughed.

Edit: And he is a 2004 character. Sigh.

when are people going to get it through their heads? more expensive does not equal better. It never should and it never will otherwise why wouldn't everyone just run the best ship?

This is why cost is not an effective balancing factor.



we can blame other games for this mindset.

Won't even go for the usual suspect, WoW. My time in warhammer online way back at uber levels I could run all in one priests/docs ( a very good mix of combat and healz if someone not familiar with the game) or tank classses to swat down even hovering melee class. this common in many games besides eve. While convenient it also fosters lazy/poor game play imo.


In eve....well my melee classes (frigates and cruisers at base level, can be expanded of course) stands much better chances. People like OP will only appreciate this aspect when they decide to take out smaller ships on runs sadly. Usually a few runs as assigned tackler for a crew has you appreciate this aspect real fast.

Because with skills/fit depending on the target and you, tackling is kind of like bull riding. You are hoping for as many seconds as you can get before being thrown off. Ideally backup lands in time so this not a wasted effort. You get a mark who does not go deer in the headlights on you....this can be a real rough ride.
