Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Can you explain why its bad game design ? Lets rethink the question, why is it bad that they can do it? What do they hurt in the game? You havent actually presented that other then you simply dont get easy kills.

That's the sole reason, honestly.

Interceptors, specifically the travel fit ones they really want to stop, are extremely squishy and often are carrying high value pods. Sometimes they're often caught carrying blueprints, sleeper loot out of wormholes, even PLEX. The fact that they can't catch these and pad their killboards/wallets really irks them, so it must end.

because moving with 99.9% safety doesnt seem to fit into the philosophy of dark and dangerous place called w-space or 0.0, where you should be able to move from A to B just by pressing the jump button x times and ignoring pretty much everything in your way. You dont even need to watch your screen properly, just click jump, jump, jump... etc



no, its just not an argument, its a statement. A bad one.


I many regions, interceptors make 90% of all traffic, next to noob ships or pods - solely for their safety characteristics - people wanna move safely in supposed to be dangerous environment.

I think on a more mature tac.....


It's not really in the spirit of the risk reward concept that travelling through 'dangerous' space poses no real danger to someone utilizing a properly fit inty. It's not about an inty getting past me or anyone else specifically. It's about eve losing it's core ethos. When I first started eve null and LS were dangerous. If you lived and SURVIVED in null / LS you could conduct your eve life with a certain earned swagger.

Part of the game as a noob was logging in quickly after DT just as the servers came online and making that run through the entryway into null and hoping you make it past that first barrier to your new home. You did it then because it wasn't really possible during prime time for a noob to make it. Now anyone can pretty much go anywhere anytime. I can recall noobs on their first trip out
having their new corp/alliance mates coaching them and routing for them on comms. I want that sense of accomplishing something back in the game.

It's ANOTHER drop in the risk that goes with the greater rewards of living in lawless space. Focus on the concept, not 1 dude slipping past a gate camp. This is big picture stuff.

remove bubbles? How are you supposed to catch cloakers and fast warpers then?
How to keep a whole fleet of dudes in place, or even supercapitals? Bubbles have their purpose.
Its just more and more ships being added to the game, which circumvent these fundamental mechanics and
making them kinda worthless.

You can still use interdiction nullified T3 for getting past bubbles and tackle. no need for an interceptor.
This argument is used a lot as excuse for keeping safe travel mobile for zero and WH space.

Other way would be interceptors being immune to anchorable bubbles only and not against interdictor or HIC bubbles;
possibly by introduction of interdiction strength attribute or smth alike, with strength of 1 for mobile bubbles and 2-3 for interdictor and hic deployed spheres, coupled with some warp drive attribute given to ship types.

so basically, not at all?!? You must be f... kidding. Your posts might actually qualify as trolling by now.

In a thread about nullification nerf you simply request exact the opposite and giving this ability to basically any other ship in game by removing bubbles all together - so not only interceptors can be uncatchable but basically any other fast aligning ship and most cloakers too??!

tell you what, go look at my alliance killboard and check out the amount of stuff that gets killed on the gates without bubbles then have a think to yourself are these ships really uncatchable.

1 character has 27 interceptor kills since 15th of May, thats just interceptors jumping through rancer, thats not even smart bombs he flies a svipul

you're just sounding entitled now and trying to pick an argument when the killboard of 1 alliance shows multiple kills of these cloaky ships and ceptors, so we can confirm you are just looking for them to be nerfed so you can get the kills easier with your bubbler? if you done resbo camps then why are telling us there is no counter to them?

beceuse thats not working for 80-90% of them




so what you're saying is that dark and dangerous place in eve shouldnt be all too dark and dangerous, because noone would go there?

And, in a way yes, I'd prefer to have an important area of the game more populated and lived in then an area that is not because of an absolute usage of the idea of risk reward, nullsec is arguably more risky then ever with the super coalitions now gone and the map is slowly turning into small nullsec empires warring with each other
