Off grid boosters are the same principle as 'Skynetting', vastly increased combat performance for negligible risk.

I expect it will be nerfed/removed by CCP eventually just as Skynetting was.

Hence all the hype surrounding the Brain-in-a-Box project. Means on-grid boosts will become possible Smile

Boosters are a ******** out of date mechanic that needs addressing far more urgently than anymore ship hull redesign or balance or more overview tweaks.

They along with numerous other ways of using alts to gain a pay to win advantage over a legit solo pilot are a cancer in this game. They have their places on grid in any engagement but in there present state are no more than a joke.

This comes from a person who has done it as well. I used to run with personal booster and multiple accounts in recons/logi. now days I just solo as that encourages more interaction with humans and this is not a Korean grind MMO it's a western player interaction bases MMO (apparently).

Some risk vs reward that CCP always talk about needs to be applied to boosters.

Also add delayed local to all of k-space whilst your at it.

Do you get bored of being the 49th highest damage on a killmail or do you find it fulfilling?

How you suggest killing boosters for solo/small gang players when they can instantly dock or jump gate, or need perfect skill prober with implants to find quickly?

Went back five pages on his killboard until I reached one with more than 3 people on it. (It had 6 people) Then again he doesn't seem to be undocking this toon lately.

No longer need that. if they can have a booster alt. Why do you feel like its such a problem having a prober alt?

His killboard tells another story that's not entirely complimentary.

Whatever happened to Nasranite Watch anyway?

I hate the fact that I always need some crappy alt sitting off grid somewhere with links, which I have to drag around with me just because CCP likes subscriptions from alts. fannoying.

Players who use off-grid boosters have more genes in common with crabs than they do with you and me.

There's absolutely no real evidence for it, but it is scientific fact.

Protect me from knowing what I don't need to know. Protect me from even knowing that there are things to know that I don't know. Protect me from knowing that I decided not to know about the things that I decided not to know about. Amen.

To the ones who based the validity of my argument upon my killboard. When I do decide to play, which I rare now days, I am an FC for the most part and as such usually have more pilots than just myself on the killmail. Usually a mix new bros that have never PvP'd and I try to teach them the ropes in the Amarr Militia and more regular names that just like to fly with me. Granted I rarely manage to pull any meaningful numbers like back in the day when my militia fleets used to get 20-30 fairly regularly, but such is EvEs population decline.

Base your argument on fact of the mechanics impact directly upon each individuals experience of the game not your opinion of the one stating his opinion of the impact on the game. Doing anything other than this is just mindless smack talk.

Don't get me wrong, I love EvE, it's concept is superior to every other game ever made. Alas it has lost it's was in my opinion and needs a lot of changes. Kill2 and Fozzie have made good changes in particular with ship balancing as it has made all races viable at all levels of PvP, bar a few exceptions.

I would love to see 50k+ pilots online at peak times like I did when i first started playing [2010] but rarely see above 25k now.
I used to make tutorial videos on YouTube also to help new pilots learn because CCP did such a god awful job of teaching them everything there is to know in this vast game, granted that is no easy task. Hell I would love to see Eve break 100k pilots online, but in its current state that would not be viable in terms of attracting new players and retaining them and having the hardware capable of running nodes effectively to give people those huge fleet fights that get talked about and actually be a fun minute to minute game play experience.

Anyway this is fast become me writing a love letter to my estranged mistress Ms.Eve Online.

Edit - I should also add that in previous post I used the word "Solo" to indicate just 1 account 1 person 1 PC. Not pure solo PvP.

I hope you have a good day, week, month, year and live.
May your awake hours be full of laughter and joy and dreams full of your most pleasurable desires.

Solo pilots have always been in a stark minority. The game shines at a fleet level. The bulk of people play to get into a good small to medium size slugfest.

The vocal minority of 'soloers' who are supposed to be pro but do nothing more than whine about how unfair the game is are a joke. Balancing the game at the solo level will do nothing for eve subscription numbers imo. Encouraging people to step up and take fleets out and create content is really the way to keep eve going.

Encouraging larger low sec entities to move on to null where they would have some competition would do more for sub levels than a booster change. These monolithic alliances that sit and do nothing all day apart from wait in a single station for a titan bridge to kill low SP toons that they massively outclass, outnumber and out escalate have done more to make people quit than any booster. Thats not just the people who are getting hotdropped either. Larger corps with no competition are a graveyard for higher SP toons who grow bored of the zero challenge and stop logging in.

As per usual, the main problem is the players choices, not the game as such. Its just easier for people to join these large entities than it is for them to build something. Creating a vacuum for new players by making it worthwhile for the higher SP F1 monkeys to move on to null would be a great step.

Fingers crossed for the nullsec changes.

Sadly that player choice is: Dont engage, bring your booster alt or join a fleet.

There should be a real option to do solo PvP. I dont have time to find a fleet to roam with every day, that means i do PvE instead since that is something i can do whenever i feel like it without having to bring an army online (suicide PvP is only fun the first 1-2 times, good fights are fun every time)
