Angelique, two things:

One, go to Groon. Pandemic Horde is the merely the latest fashionable gaggle of retards in space. Groon is a fun, cool place with filled with fun, cool people. Horde is not.

Two, put up or shut up, because I'm tired of hearing serious allegations with no supporting evidence. If you accuse someone, have something to back it up.

At the risk of ruining a fun dogpile, he was pointing out that it's not hard to get into Waffles vs PL, so the surprise he was "in PL" wasn't warranted.

say an army is composed of footmen and knights. there is a big battle where the footmen are just in a grindfest while the knights get easy kills running down archers. Afterwards the knights post about how good their k/d ratio is why the rest of their army or coalition lost. Historically this was mainly NC. with everyone else in N3 being their serfs. Any victory was NC.'s victory, where as any loss that member of N3's loss alone.

It's happening now with one sec PL crowing about panfam but the second any other entity takes losses its "lol gj its just horde". It's not nearly as bad though as NC.

Horde is almost a mirror of karmafleet. Except instead of SRP the ships were handed out for free to begin with.

And sometimes they just suicide the whole fleet into hostiles and try to take as many expensive ships with them as possible. Because the Horde ships were cheap anyway and taking 10 gates home is :effort:

are you really trying to like convince me to join horde or something also unless they're handing out actual doctrine ships like ferox's its not an actual improvement over goonswarm reimbursement.

I think JFs are hard to nerf enough to appease those that only want to gank them without killing their usefulness. Yeah, you could make it so that they can only jump out of HS that border a LS/NS, but that just delays things until the market moves to Isikano or whatever that system is that's next to pakkonen. Then they will jump off the undock of that station and you've solved nothing.

A spool up timer would be interesting for all jump capable ships, but I wouldn't apply it to only JFs. In fact, a spool up timer of equal length for going into siege or triage would be interesting too. Then you've got a race to jump out as three phoenixes undock with you, will your jump timer finish first or their siege timer?

I wouldn't change anything about how JFs work right now. Fully bulkhead fit, they hold less than two fully skilled DSTs. Fully expanded, with a few hundred million in faction expanders, you still top out at 385k m3. When you're talking null logistics, that's not a lot of space. 77k fuel blocks, 128k units of stront, 15 battleships (packaged).

I love killing JFs as much as anyone, but of all the balancing issues that exist in Eve right now, JFs don't seem to be the glaring issue.

dude its not even just gankers, trying to hunt down hostile logistics in 0.0 is literally impossible unless they jump to a loving cyno beacon

What in the gently caress is this abomination? A half a billion isk guardian that will cap itself out in less than 3 minutes? Haha holy poo poo dude.

What are you on about, any logi fit over 3 minutes and mwd fit is cap stable enough. On my phone so the rest of the fit be garbage but if you get a mwd logi fit to fully cap stable then you're making tank sacrifices.

You don't loving perma run everything. After he's caught reps and healed up you loving turn reps off and get ready for the next primary. In between you'll regen enough cap. And if not, there is always Minndflood.

Each successive act of aggression restarts the 15min timer. CCP got sick of people just logging off Titans to avoid fights. Supercap brawls stopped happening because you'll be stuck until downtime. Them being expensive isn't the reason they don't happen, we'd drop Dreadnoughts on each other back in 2006 when they were stupidly expensive relative to the size of an average player's income. They just changed a bunch of mechanics related to Capitals and Supers that may make a fight more likely since they've become more glass cannon than before.

The game has taken a weird twist. There are more people in nullsec than ever before but active player count is down. There has been a shift from one person with 12 alts to 8 players, most of which are newbies. A lot of stupid poo poo being done by these new players who are beginning to strike out on their own. The sov map is actually beginning to look like the balkans since the old empires are getting zerged apart.

That plus time dilation means that a supercap escalation has the potential to take forever. Time dilation slows down time to give servers the time to handle the load which means fights last 10x as long which has the compounding effect in allowing people to burn to the fight and dogpile in continuing the fight even more.

Part of it too is that citadels have eliminated two of the four classic benefits (alliance markets, better refining than NPC stations) that existed to hold space. i.e. red outposts are of questionable value given the absurd refines you can get with a 0.0 medium citadel that costs only 1.5b to drop.

Unrelated: rip pooki

Yeah, rip. Funny enough it was the far rear end aeons that got us hosed as they got caught on the In gate. We WERE fighting aligned out and at range which is why I jumped in a shield hel alongside armor supers to begin with.

Gila costs another 100m though and the end result will be the same.

EDIT: There's also an argument that you want a scram to prevent MJD but that's for hunting the big fish and probably not recommended solo in any ship

a phantasm can't clear (long range) tackle the way a gila can. A solo AB ship in 0.0 just means you're gonna die slowly as a ship with a long point and mwd holds you down.

What the actual heck is this?! One of the ccp employees in Band of Brothers was cheating?? See I knew there was something to my gut feeling! That goes against the whole of CCPs desire to have the game run itself!

CCP devs were heavily invested into their own game with the older devs being weird try hard Icelandic spergs. Due to the highly competitive nature of eve its hard for the devs to play eve enough to fully understand it yet at the same time remain 100% impartial. I lot of ships in balance passes in eve have in my opinion been the result of some CCP devs thinking small gang pvp to be the true merit of skill. Specifically the Orthrus is some sort of wet dream fozzie had where he solos frigate fleets.
