Hello my name is Angrathar 'WrathGate' LichKing.
I am here to expose some fairly major issues with the game-play mechanic called PVP.
I've been around for 10 days.
In 10 days scouting for fleet operations I have lost: 74 Reapers 47 Pods (coincidence but a cool one )
I am here to expose that untrained ALTs are INCREDIBLY overpowered.
If I were to train up my skills and get in around a 10m ISK pod, and fly in about 10m isk scout ship my costs would be somewhat significant. Not to mention the impossible logistics of the matter.
740m in ships, 470m in clones.
1.21b in 10 days.
about 4.21b per month... just for basic scouting.
But thankfully I am way to smart to train any skills on a scouting alt or use a non-noob ship.
D-Scan works just as well at 53k SP as it does at 53m skill-points. Clever use of tactical safes and bookmarks work just as well.
And these are the major components of a scout.
Now to answer some questions: ANGRATHAR!!! you have no tank! how could you provide ANY level of Intel with so little ehp? Gate Cloaks (60 seconds) 5k ISK clone relocation. I have a microphone. I have a built-in jump-drive with an unlimited range and no requirement for a cyno.
That last one is the most amazing, I can simply change my clone station, and scout several locations hundreds of jump apart for 5k isk. Its brilliant.
Sure but you don't contribute to any kills, you just die If you strike me down now, I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.
Aggression against me not only prevents the use of stations and gates, but also triggers 400+ dps against my aggressor, then my fleet jumps in gets tackle, and often even in death I can top damage via gate guns.
I get it Angrathar your fcking brilliant why brag about it? Because clone costs are why this character type is so much more powerful than a normal player, not to mention an endless supply of ships with a magical logistics chain to replace my losses.
My suggestion? Limit newbie ships to 1 per hour. Swap the 5k clone relocation cost and the clone replacement costs. Add a timer to clone relocation. And maybe even a LY based distance requirement.
This will prevent Angrathar 'WrathGate" LichKing from being the superior scout, and SP will actually make the scouting profession better, not worse. |
