Originally by: Vile rat I don't think that any of you really play it. There's no damn way. You don't build a system where you can put 90 supercapitals on the field at once and say that the game isn't horribly broken and also say you play it. I'm calling every single ccp employee a liar and a fool at this point because you simply have lost the plot. You've let rampant power inflation destroy your game.
Dear CCP,
Your game is pretty unstable with anything over (a *very* charitable) 1200-1400 people in system. In this particular battle, the other side put hundreds of people in system early, hoping to lag the system too much for the 90 supercaps to jump in [this right here is already a testament to awful game design. Why the hell would you design a system capturing mechanic that's based around jumping into a system your servers cannot handle the strain of? But I digress.]
The other side jumped in anyway and loaded grid with 90 supercaps. If your game were not horribly broken, a theoretical 1,110 people on the other side could do something about that. Because it is stupendously, horrifically, outrageously broken, the 90 supercaps did not even need a single supporting pilot. They did of course have a few hundred extras, but that's just filler. Even if every single possible pilot you could fit into that system was on the opposing side, and even if every single one of them were in a carrier or dread, those ships would simply die to fighter bombers in seconds each while the motherships easily spidertanked the damage. Short of every titan pilot in the game deciding to join Atlas, the fight was over when those 90 supercaps loaded grid. There is no way to fight enough supercapitals in a blob because the server crashes far before that can happen.
Prior to Dominion, you correctly looked at 20-odd titans DDing a carrier and freaked out. You then replaced the old broken doomsday mechanic with the new, infinitely more broken supercap blob mechanic. Your game is broken. Mudflation is running more rampant than it once did in Everquest. Fix it or else.
They should make motherships dockable, that would solve quite a few problems and, of course, create new ones but who cares, right?
