Warfare & Tactics

If you dislike fighting linked ships I highly recommend that you hunt them.

I've killed 8 of them in the last 2 days of action in Pavanakka.

Also, if you would like assistance in learning how to kill link ships Gallente Militia is recruiting and willing to teach.

Killing our links! Not cool. How are we supposed to fight the Gals without links?

This is just rolling the argument back and forth like a poorly wrapped joint.

You caught some link ships amongst heavy commotion.

The entire discussion just goes back and forth between the same points
A) Links are nigh uncounterable in small gang/1v1 fights.
B) Links are crucial for small gangs to fight blobs
C) Links are counterable with a highly specialised investment assuming the links owner is occupied and doesn't check D-SCAN
D) Fighting links boils down to who brings a prober or another linking ship.
E) "This is an MMO so bring some pet frands to play the bullshit part of the game, cos frands"
D) Countering link ships in LS involves circumventing the station/gate mechanics.

Each successive post just repeats one or two of these.

Tiring TBH.

I like this. Never underestimate how people will forgo tank because they want the best bang for their buck.

I do not care that links and or "off grid links" exist.

I just want to have the linking char and ship show up on Kill mails so we know who the truly solo pilots are and which ones are not.

I also want a status attribute on KM's to denote whether the pilots were in a fleet or not at the time, to indicate scout and probe/scanning use.

The whiners won, they'll be removing OGB in the next few months. RIP small gang, all hail the blobs. Fozzie talks about it in this stream:

from 1:08:25 (rest is not really important)

And thus the whining will continue until they remove ECM from game. Then the next best anti-blob mechanic... It really just keeps on going until we are only left with n00bships.

Least with ewar alts those KMs will no longer list information as appearing faux "solo" lolololol
Much easier to trade, track, and prove information of who flies with an extra on hand.

I think this year I will be asking the Mall Santa for bulk industrial drum containers for all the tears to come.

I think unsubbing link toons to hit CCP in the pocket and to lower the online player count will also be an option for people who use links.

Interestingly enough, I just resubbed my alt account. Granted she's got CS 5 and max links, but she also has logi 5, Cal/Gal BS 5, Recon 5, and can sit in a Cal/Gal Carrier. I won't be so upset with links moving on grid.

Now, just need to talk to the Chinese government and explain to them why they need to open up their interwebs because dual boxing here is just asking for insta-DC's all day, everyday
