Oodles posted:However, it's so easy to just warp to an anom drop drones, and profit. Maybe wormholes might make it more engaging. This doesn't work in wormholes. You'll pop a wave trigger early and then get smashed. You need to actively manage which rats you kill. Also if you're not paying attention you'll get dropped by a cloaky Proteus. This does add a fair bit of tension when you're sitting there in a Rattlesnake or whatever. Some people like it, some hate it. Scanning down holes isn't hard. You do jump through them and bookmark the various holes in the chain. The big thing is actually using d-scan once you're in a new hole to see if its active and if there are any jerks in there waiting to ruin your day (or who aren't paying attention and need to be murdered). To me, POS mapping once you've found a hole is more tedious than finding the holes themselves. Probably the best bit of wormholes for me is sitting in someone else's hole while they go about their business and they have no loving idea that I'm there, just waiting for them to show a vulnerability so I can uncloak, tie them down and then call the cavalry on them.

This, absolutely. The thrill of catching something you can eat on dscan, and the knowledge that they have no idea you're there. There's no local to announce your entrance, you cloak and you're totally invisible. I also like cheap and nasty, like seeing a venture or two on scan, drop combats and munch munch. edit - I didn't start downloading fallout4 before coming to work today gently caress gently caress gently caress gently caress gently caress

froody guy posted:Solution? What was the problem, FCON shooting squidders in fleet? And how booting FCON isn't a better solution anyway? Getting shot by FCON was a problem, but not the only one. Reset FCON Some of the others were that we're still goons (or at least Imperium) and we do enjoy doing joint ops with other squads, but its such a colossal pain in the rear end to coordinate. Another problem is that if we want to do mainfleet stuff, it has to be on alts (and I can't speak for everybody, but I know I've only got one guy really capable of that, and he's in hole squad).

gently caress mainfleet kinda. The FCs are okay. Actually, the fleets out of 3v8 were alright, though mostly because they were basically the Reaver crew.

His choice to make this short piece about Elo Knight, or to be more precise, another alliance than the This piece made it look like we received a good trashing.

There's the issue of calling it the CFC will inadvertently provoke every single person who joined Eve within the last 6 months to ask who the CFC are and what happened to them. The Imperium and the CFC are the same people but those people have evolved a lot to the point where calling it the cluster gently caress coalition seems almost satirical when you look at the degree of organization and the results it brings.

Yeah, Elite is probably better if you just want to play a space game. Hell, or try Rebel Galaxy is you want a single-player experience. EVE is only for addicts. Don't go there.

Couldn't they just use the original name of the CFC: the "Deklein Coalition"? Alternately, use CFC and make up some hand-wavy Eve words for the "CF" portion. Likewise he could imply that TEST was an acronym for something. It could be an interesting to have a back-plot of Mittens scheming to become an, ahem, imperator without it quite coming out. Think "the ending of Shogun", for anyone that's read that excellent novel. That would setup a nice sequel for the Halloween War too.

He could simply use the name imperium and have a character make a reference that it is more a clusterfuck of a coalition than a real empire.
