Oh dear... where to start...
(and yes, I know this could very well be a troll... but, unless properly countered, actual new-ish players will not even try)

Splitting hairs here aren't we?

Okay... two things...
1. I may strongly dislike "instancing"... but class-limited plexes do serve their purpose: it brings vets down the the level of younger players who may be limited to only to T1 ships.
2. If you are at all serious about Faction Warfare, you keep you ships in low-sec in an easy to access station (which is going to be quite difficult now thanks to the station lockout mechanisms  ).
Desimus Maximus wrote:Second, who the hell is going to go in and out of lowsec constantly in T1 crap knowing full well that there is a good chance that there are pirate faction, T2 fit ships of the largest order on the other side of that gate??
Good news... you won't be seeing any T2 ships on the other side of that acceleration gate... because no T2 ship can go through. If you are limited to T1 ships... so are your enemies.
Also... getting into "occupied" plexes is a bit of a "fine art" (ex. bum rush with what you have, go in with lots of ewar, and/or lots of numbers).
Desimus Maximus wrote:If I can fly a ship that fits my skills so be it, but to be forced into a low-end pile of ****, that is just ridiculous.
Pro-tip: T1 ships are not "low-end trash." In fact... my rather large assortment of Catalysts, Thrashers, and Vexors are offended by that statement.
T2 ships only offer a specialty and "edge" over T1 ships (like, a 20% edge at most). That's it. It is perfectly within the realm of possibility for a Rifter to kill an Enyo, or a gank-fit Coercer to kill an Ishkur... it's even possible for a Vigil to kill a Thrasher (that one was embarrassing).
Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective. |
