Uhm yea, great, increased demand on a ship that still is sub-par for actual PvP.
Am I supposed to celebrate?
It's only sub-par for actual PVP if you fail to employ the proper tactics to leverage its higher Alpha.
This brings back a lot of techniques that haven't been used in awhile. Very nice.
Agreed. I trained up for using all the other races just in case it was snipe BS fleets instead of RR (for which I still think the Phoon is superb) I would be in. Now I will just go back to my old Pest setup and start being the top damage dealer or at least near the top on fleet op KM's if and when I get in a fleet like the old days.
31 damage modifier with 3 Gyros and no implants is going to make them the FC's ship of choice again.

When you KNOW exactly how much you will loose its not a risk, its a cost.
Suicide ganking is NOT free. But is RISKLESS and those are different things.,

actually, they risk the chance of screwing up their gank. losing sec status (which they WILL need to grind back), losing their ship but not gaining any of the loot they wanted.
see, hunting players is much, much more difficult than hunting NPCs that spawn in the same missions time after time. You can go read a guide on how to do your mission before you do a mission!!
This is not how it is when you are hunting another person. It is unpredictable and by it's nature a risky venture. This is not to mention Eve is above and beyond everything a PVP GAME! That means everywhere ladies, even late at night and on holidays.
If you guys would stop playing the victim in your own heads you'd be able to realize how easy you really have it. Keep in mind, Your talking to a person who has a CNR w/ gisti booster and caldari hards/bcus for doing level 4's for isk. I know both sides of the aisle here, your just not acknowledging the one simple fact:
CCP likes ganking. It makes for a healthy sandbox. The fact they have let us have lvl 4s in high sec in their current state is a godsend alone. No, you think YOU have the tough hand of cards and are asking for a handout to make it even less risky AND YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW STUPID IT SOUNDS.
What a poor poor derail for a Tempest thread. I apologize.
You don't risk security standing, you lose it! Therefore it is a cost to be factored in just like knowing how much much losing a ship with mods to Concord is.
The only risk is maybe good mods/loot don't drop and maybe someone else will scoop anything decent before you or your gang or alt does and to me that doesn't count as risk in any way anymore than it's a big risk to shoot an officer rat and get crap loot!
BTW I'm not against suicide ganking at all and have taken part in it so don't say I'm playing a victim here! I'm just honest enough to admit there is no risk at all and it's profitable because the cost is easily worked out.
Also what ^^ said this was about how the Alphastrike on Howies have made them great again.
