If they're actually taking sov in small ships, without a fight, that should tell you something.

If you actually LIVE in your space, it's not a problem.

Again I shall point to the (much maligned on here) CFC and their lack of space loss or timers. Because they LIVE there.



I think the question you OUGHT to be asking is if one guy in his interceptor is taking space from you, what the hell are you doing with it in the first place?



They aren't, they're merely causing timers. They are being allowed to disrupt with no intention to follow through. It's not a case of blue balling, it's simply trolling alliance level play because they can now.

Playing chase the ceptor isn't fun content and the number of people willing to do such a thing are few and far between no matter the alliance you're a part of. It's much easier to let them do it and take back the timer you know they wont show up for. Maybe then you can actually see a fight or catch the ceptors since you know exactly where they'll be going. At least then it's not 4+ hours of standby duty EVERY DAY, it's just however long it takes to recapture nodes when something does get hit just like when a POS gets hit. You typically go to fight the RF, not try to flash form for the initial attack.

Same exact logic, similar game play, just now being kicked off by an individual who can zip around and through your defenses rather than an entire fleet.


Exactly trolling now is just too easy. And when you give power to one extreme (see ceptors now or supers before) the balance is just gone. But when you give power to something in the mid like BCs than everything around it can be viable, bot the ceptors and capitals.

Just make Battlecruiser hulls (Command ships also) the only viable for entosising and most of the problems would be solved. Leave frigates-cruisers to be a support force for taking sov and not the main one.

I know CCP doesnt want to limit number of tactics but like it is now there is only one tactic and it is the trollceptors. Playing with the battlecruiser fits ppl can still get a pretty fast ship to roam around and entosis stuff but it surely wont be this insane. There will still be lots of frigates-cruisers around supporting the BCS if there is no significant oposition.

But the situation that is now is just too easy for attackers to troll. If you want to defend your sov from trolling a simple gate camp can do it or a fast reaction to catch a BC which is a much slower ship than a ceptor.

We would suddenly see much more small gangs escorting the BCs to entosis stuff which is really good.


+1.

Additionally, if EvE is ever to grow as a game -- really grow, they need to stop advertising as a great burger shop, that also sells salads to vegans. This will take courage, but it must be done.
