2. you are wrong. Titans are the best ships in eve. A frig is worse than a battleship. Simply look at the statistics and you will notice that battleships kill frigs WAAAAY more often than frigs kill BSs. This is absolutely ok, because frigs are cheap, BSs are expensive. But dont let eve look as if frigs are BS killers in general. They CAN, but its more luck than skill. Most BSs can tank more than a frig could ever do in damage (just one point).
You lost all credibility right about here.
Have you ever been in any PVP situation, ever?
You have the carebear mentality that PVP is all about 1v1 honorduels. And with a comparison like that, you can't argue otherwise. A frigate won't kill a battleship itself, but it will most certainly be responsible for it's death.
You see, battleships have these things called 'warp drives'. And frigates tend to have these weird 'warp disruptor' things. Shockingly, people do not sit around honorably to go down with their ship, unless they are forced to do so.
The person who finds and locks down a target deserves more credit than the people who press f1 and deal lots of damage to it. I suppose a covert ops is useless, too, because it hardly deals damage at all?

Important things the OP fails completely to address:
1) The ships in question get boosted, without any penalty. Their ability to hit smaller ships is substantially boosted. Smaller ships don't tank. Even a small amount of damage hitting them will chase them off or destroy them.
2) If the new weapons need to come pre-nerfed, they do not need to exist. "Because it looks cool" is not a reason to destroy game balance.
3) More lag, no gain.
4) DRONES ALREADY DO THIS. YOU HAVE A VARIABLE SIZED WEAPON WHICH A BIG SHIP CAN USE TO KILL SMALL SHIPS. PROTIP: FIT ONE HEAVY NEUT. FIT WARRIORS. THE OPTIONS ARE THERE FOR YOU. YOU DO NOT GET FREE "I win" CANNONS FOR FLYING A BATTLESHIP.
5) "But they're more expensive!" No. A tech2 cruiser costs significantly more to lose than a battleship. Battleships can be insurance fraud, even.
6) If you want realism in a sci-fi universe, be prepared to accept the fact that a single antimatter charge from a frigate would obliterate your entire ship. Large ships would simply be bigger, easier to hit targets. Hell, simply attaching a warp drive to a rock and pointing it at you would reduce a capital ship to subatomic particles. Defence would be entirely worthless. This is 'realism' in a game with antimatter weapons and ftl velocities.
7) Yes, I am closed minded to ******ed ideas. This means your ideas. |
