Rape caging super towers is very nearly a complete waste of time, over the last 5-6 years and at least a good dozen rapecages I've seen exactly one super die in such a setup. GSF could cascade, you could blue up the rest of Eve for all time and spend the next several years popping Adderall for 48 hour hellcamp marathon vigils like the sad autists you are -- you're still not catching poo poo because people are either going to DT trick their poo poo out, clear bubbles and wait for you to snooze, or remain logged off until it's safe.

Except, you don't need to rape cage the towers anymore, especially when your towers aren't there anymore and our towers are- you know, that whole thing where Supers and Titans can now be tackled by a POS now (thanks :ccp:).

Line members that don't have trillions in assets from 5+ years of farming with dozens of carriers/ishtars can continue rat in the space we still have. Failing or in addition to that, they can continue to engage in the myriad of exciting PVE opportunities your ankle hugging blues have claimed as reasons they didn't really need sov when we chain evicted virtually all of them over the last several years.

I very much doubt there are more than a handful of people in GSF that have a trillion in assets.

I'm not super knowledgable about ratting in general or how ihub upgrades work- but I imagine that upgrading systems isn't very high on anyone's priority list at the moment.

With capital shield extenders and capital propulsion-mods, you could also just use shield-dreads and loving move a little bit to the side when the FC sees bombers dropping bombs. Even with dreads being slow-moving capitals, 15 seconds should be enough time to mitigate much of the damage. Then, welp, no sacrificed damage modules on a shield-dread.

'Dread bombing' is dropping a shitload of suicide dreads on a super, and has nothing to do with stealth bombers.

Think 1 or 2 of the dreads was self-destructing for that insurance money (because build price is going down quite a bit), but I'm not certain on that.

I guess you can brag about that if you want?

Libluini posted:

Thinking about this, people complained about shield-battleships getting hosed over by bombers, my bad.

But still, I also remember people claiming shield-capitals were bad for some reason. Was that just the Phoenix because of it using capital missiles?


Phoenix mostly has application issues, and that whole flight time thing is pretty poo poo too.

Most people rallied behind the 'shield supers' are poo poo banner because there wasn't a shield buffer set of implants (as most super groups were armor, simply because of Slaves), but shield buffer implants are coming Soon™.

I ran the numbers pre-patch on suicide frauding dreads, and it def. wasn't worth it, unless it was already insured from a previous scrapped dreadbomb

I didn't run the numbers, but avoided doing it as I imagine the demand for cheap dreads would be pretty high and having one sooner than later would be more valuable than whatever I would theoretically "save" anyway.

Like, the instant you make "having enough friends" not a valid win condition, the game becomes who can get the most expensive toys and old pilots, which means that PL literally wins forever.

excuse me as I word this poorly as gently caress because I'm eating korean bbq, but :justpost:

I'm mostly on the fence with the new capital changes- for a laundry list of reasons. I'm okay with Titans shredding fleets as long as those doomsdays also kill friendlies (which they do) and they lose a mega portion of buffer (which they have)- but I'm still of the belief that Titans existing is a mistake. It's not a HUGE issue right now because there isn't a market to meet the demand, the build costs for some of the capital items are broken (T2 Shield Boosters requiring a T2 Booster to build) and the materials to build the faction items are quite literally DroneRat Poop 2.0 (which is doubly hilarious because NPC Dreads/Supers are obliterating ratters everywhere).

It will probably be 2-3 months before the more organized capital groups are fitted and ready for glorious space battle (read: shooting towers/citadels) and Titans will mostly likely serve as meat bazookas until they're properly fitted.

ChickenWing posted:

Also yes numerical superiority should absolutely beat SP and ISK past a certain threshold. 100 machs should beat 100 maelstroms. 100 machs should probably beat 150 maelstroms if the machs have a good FC. 100 machs should not beat 200 maelstroms.


Or, a more apt comparison - one battleship should not be able to kill 250 frigates. one dread should not be able to kill 250 cruisers. Extrapolate as necessary.

100 Machs will probably poo poo on 150 Maels as long as you fit them properly (i.e. not whatever that poor yacht fleet fit was).

Although this was probably more of sourcing the necessary fittings for 500+ dudes than a cost issue. There's a reason rank and file infantry doesn't share the same kit as Navy Seals/SOGs.

N3 had more pilots as a whole but PL could field more fire power at a specific location on a shorter notice.

It's hard to "Hit PL more" because they base out of low sec. If they are not taking your fight then you won't be getting one.

I think it's more to do with bringing PL a fight has no downsides for PL, as more often than not- we'd absolutely take the fight.

Also- it's pretty easy to back out of a coalition we were never really formally a part of (N3) and continue the Tech/Rental Cartel isk printing (B0TLRD).
