EVE General Discussion

One of the cool things about EVE that has fallen by the wayside like many emergent things was the ability to 'blockade' and lockdown an area or station. Colloquially known as the hellcamp.

I feel like npc 0.0 is too safe and theres little to no risk involved these days. It used to be that if someone was in your space and up in your grill basing out of npc you could go in there with a freighter full of bubbles and camp that **** for 30 days until they die and give up, leave.

The interdiction nullified tech 3's kinda eased that strain because they could still undock a fleet and run around doing things. They still werent gonna do much sov stuff without dreads and supers so it was sort of ok.

The interdiction nullified interceptor is one of the worst changes in recent years given there vast utility and even now the ability to capture, reinforce and influence sov events. Coupled with npc 0.0 the trollceptor is just awful and unbalanced gameplay.

There needs to be a better way to sit on somebody who bases out of npc 0.0 and interceptors need to lose their nullification, or keep them nullified but they need to lose all combat and entosis viability. Thanks.

Nobody tells us to do anything. There are no CTA's in my alliance.

As for me or my fellow alliance members 'showing up in an interceptor' we almost always have a cruiser as our entosis ship with frig and dessy support.

We entosis stuff in the hope you will bring a fleet to fight us. Goons never disappoint on that front but because your whole tactic is blob warfare you bring 2-3 fleets (harpys, ferox and cerb fleets normally with numbers of 120-160 usually) to take us on. Obviously we can't take that on with a 20-25 man gang so we usually blueball and try and pick off stragglers when you leave - typical asymetrical tactics.

Now if Goons really wanted a fight they would bring a roughly equal force to fight (you always have the big guns to call in later if things aren't going according to plan) but you NEVER do, so obviously your not really looking for a 'fight' just a massacre and complain when we won't play willing victims.

If you really wanted a fight, you would attack someone who can't flash form 3 fleet at the drop of a hat... Your whole "they form too big so we blueball them" argument falls flat on it's head when you only ring the bell on the imperium. Go poke some smaller entity and you will get a form up to defend around your own size.

The real issue is that you are not looking for fights. You have a completely different agenda but try to mask it with excuses.

Whats boring about the tears of thousands of alts in coalition about a single frigate stepping on their lawn?

I think you may have, in your complacency, lost the picture here of what EVE is about.
As you can see, plenty of people see thisnfor what it really is.

The change may not have fixed Sov entirely, but its a step in the right direction.
If your bosses were to hire me instead of you as spindoctor (im open for negotiation) thats the tact I would take.
You wont win this one. Best you can do is mitigate future impending changes that will make one interceptor on your lawn seem like a fond memory.

If you cant HTFU and adapt with changes, perhaps that is exactly the reason for someone else who can, to step up.
Historically all empires fall invariably due to complacency, luxury, self-entitlement and decadence, even if no external force is strong enough to engage them directly.

Also:
"If you've read other thread, blogs, reddit, etc, "
Please, you cant be serious...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Yes there are. You get toldd what to do all the time, we see it in your comms. You got told to come to this thread. Even your leader gets steered by Gevlon.

lol, and yet whenever a single player shows up you scatter. Again we know that you're being instructed to troll, you can eve buy packs of fitted troll ships from your alliance contracts.

You guys really are terrible at this.

I get the impression you are the 'kings hand' to your overlord Mittens. Proof that I get told to post on this thread or we'll just assume you are full of ****.

Occasionally, they tell us to upvote threads and all but I never do it because I just keep pressing F1 and it doesn't do anything.

We are not allowed to post the mails that are available on eve skunk that mention entosis troll ship being on contract or a call to the alliance to come post positive stuff about the sov change to be sure CCP don't see to large of a majority in support of changing some of it.

For all I know, I'm about to be forum banned now...

Welp...

Well, I for one hope you are not and think you walked the line just fine on candour.

But, subversion and deception are part and parcel of this game, and this forum is an extension.

A forum CTA for alliance members is perfectly valid, whether it did or did not happen.

Lets not be naive here, you and I.
We both know that all interested parties (for whichever reason) are arguing en-force and deliberately to pursue their own agenda.
Lets all not try to take this all too seriously, its a game that we all share afterall, and remember also that CCP has to read through all the politics for the core points of feedback.

I for one, and still hoping for someone to post itemized and numbered list of suggestions, especially as supported by experience with sov change.
Ive seen them in other threads and some were quite good. I miss them here.
Gives structure to the discussion.

The core point of feedback is pretty visible through all the politics and shiptoasting.

It's boring

People who like it only like it because it's boring the people they don't like =p
