Wait, really? Did FA mercilessly slaughter their own miners for being shitfit despite being told repeatedly otherwise? If so they were more metal than I thought.

More like, "FA leadership would often insist that some ships had to be fitted a specific way and no other" which was/is and will always be really pathetic.
Outside of strat ops, let people be fit the way they want to. If they lose their precious ships because they were idiots, it's on them. Do the proper thing and laugh at them, but blowing them up preemptively is really lame. Not if 'You weren't fitted right" is the only reason.

Sometimes that means blowing them up and booting them out. It's a tragedy, nobody wants to see it, but if it saves the ships of innocents, well, it's our responsibility to make those hard choices.

:laffo:

CCP has made rescuing people harder, so in order for us to have an actual shot at saving people getting dropped on, the ships have to be fitted to a certain standard. Since goons (and allies, lets not forget those) are space lawyers at heart, the only way to realistically do this is to say "use this fit, or better - or else".

FA demanding ships be fit this or that way was dumb because there was no real reason for it. We actually have a good reason, and it loving works. So feel free to hold whatever opinions you want, I'll keep shooting idiots who break the rules until we run out of idiots. Which is to say never :sun:

I'm not sure where you got the whole "you think you know better" so I'm gonna stick to my guns here and still consider you to be the most dumbass of us both. It's almost as if you can read words, but you can't quite understand what they mean and therefore you must assign a completely different meaning to them. Some people call it strawmanning.

The idea is that every rorq is a bait rorq with at least 1.5 million EHP. You can modify the fit to have more tank, but not less tank. I just got my first rorq and it's not an onerous requirement.

In practice it means you need a tank with:
    EM Ward Field II
    Capital Shield Booster I
    Shield Boost Amplifier II
    Adaptive Invulnerability Field II
    Adaptive Invulnerability Field II

Plus the cap and fitting stuff to actually run the tank, obviously. It's easy.

Oh I have no doubt. Back when I played there was this awesome fit someone posted (Not sure if it's still good) which was great and definitely saved my rear end long enough for Theta to murder my attackers. Believe me I'm not trashing the fit.. I'm just laughing at the "Do this or we'll kill you ourselves" attitude.

That being said, I'm glad it's giving Wibla much needed blues to shoot at.
