Changes are going to make the blob worse and the cry for nerf louder. Everyone with half a brain can already see this coming. Whatever.
Can we get an update on minmatar capital changes please. Take silly torp launchers off the nag, give guns a damage boost to compensate. (or give it a neut bonus or something cool, idk)
Give shield capitals (specifically: wyvern, hel) a shield hp increase, make them a bit more in line with the armor tanks. From what I am seeing with new stats, the hel is basically a shield tanked archon with more dps. That is silly. |

There are some very dim lightbulbs on this forum.
Shadowsword wrote:Her's the core of the issue: you don't understand that capital were never meant for solo play, far less supercaps. You already have those effective drones for defense. You'll find them in the "Friends" section.
CCP does NOT want you to be anything but a wreck in the making if you're caught solo. They are enforcing it now. There is far too much solo and small gang pvp in New Eden so let us force the handful of people who use these ships for that purpose to join the blob.
EVE needs more blobs.
Post patch, blobs will be even bigger. Dumb people in supers will still die, intelligent people will abuse the new mechanics to be even more difficult to kill than before.
"The patch made things worse!! :(" Calling it now. |

Shadowsword wrote:You're delluding yourself.
The few players using supercaps for solo pvp do it because they want risk-free pvp. They'll log in their supers only when they expect to fight at most a handfull of subcap, and when there is no risk to be hotdropped. Typical low-sec wannabe pvpers mentality.
Those who do real solo pvp aren't afraid of doing it with subcaps.
The blob argument is ridiculous anyway. Alliances always bring as many people as they can to each and every fight, regardless of ship type. Nerfs will change the ship types used, but not the amount of players who are interested in pvp.
Have you ever seen a fleet leader say to one of his own "Stay home, we have already OP supercaps, we don't need more than XX subcap"? No? Might say a lot about your reasoning...
It is you who is delluded.
Supers that are solo or in small groups are far easier to kill than those with 50 in gang. The upcoming changes will strongly discourage the people who use them in smaller engagements from continuing to do so, and will essentially force them to join a coalition with massive blue lists.
The change, in an attempt to force people into the open arms of the blob, is contrary to the foundation of EVE's sandbox ideology. Due to the HP reduction most will be far more reluctant to engage without overwhelming odds; there will be less supers dying while smaller engagements will continue to diminish. Again. People who are dumb will continue to lose supers, people who are not will be even harder to kill. These changes will simply widen the gap.
Your perception of "stay home we already have enough people" is fundamentally wrong. In reality the statement is "do not engage until we have a 2:1 numerical advantage." But with the cool new adjustments this will likely turn into "Never engage unless we have a 5:1 advantage"

They have carrier battle groups with dps agains submarines, ships and aircraft. If you cant kill a hic with a carrier, then ensure you have enough support in the form of sub-caps to counter that. maybe the era of the "cap-fleet" is dying now, with the start of the era of "carrier batlegroups" or "CAP-battlegroups" where all players can take part in, even the noob with a rifter
Sometimes I truly wonder if people who make posts like these have fetal alcohol syndrome or some other terrible and debilitating handicap.
One thing that I can say for certain though is that you have absolutely no comprehension of the capabilities of a Nimitz class supercarrier and should stop referencing them entirely. |
