You're in SMA, you can't be suicide ganked in nullsec where your alliance owns space, silly.

Nagas, Nagas.

It's possible.

I don't care if the finer points aren't yet set in stone. Even if it isn't implemented, it's indicative of CCP trying to convince themselves that they are not "Trammelizing" the game because you "can still technically engage somebody in hisec but we want to discourage it as much as possible."



It takes more than a few Catalysts to gank a mining ship in 0.7 space and above. In 0.8 and above, you will need alpha.

As opposed to miners being told "bring RR" and flat-out refusing to invest any more effort into their gameplay?

2 Rail Nagas at 250km cannot Suicide Gank any reasonably fit Scimitar.

It's possible.

Typical Scimi has 14k EHP against kin/therm.

Not to mention that the dudes shooting you can bring all the RR and ships they want, and you literally won't be able to RR yourself at all.

Piracy will still be possible, but it will simply be a full-time job that nobody will bother with. Or they'll figure something out and CCP will nerf that. vOv

Actually to make this thing even clearer to you dear Richard Desturned. Every single argument you come up is garbage, you know why ? Because the alliance you are part of, goonswarm whined so long and hard that blapper titans got nerfed, just because you couldn't adapt to it.

You opened this can of whining worms, live with it.

Cap stable Scimi + Mack... Have to think about that...

Hi, my name is Alpha.

i see your glass is half empty

thank you for your opinion, faceless npc alt



I always think folk will stop posting with faceless alts, around the same time alliances stop using faceless alts to move goods in and out of hi-sec.

Achieving what? Besides being easily flagged as a bot.

You can't log in a faceless alt because you have to create a portrait. Duh.

For some reason I've seen a lot of faceless characters lately.

we tested setups 100 ways from sunday to counter "blapper titans," you know, the 20-30 dudes that decided coalition-level engagements at every turn

you know, the ewar-immune ships with millions upon millions of EHP and better tracking than arty battleships?

yeah, those "blapper titans"

every "counter" we tested was either overhyped, unrealistic in TQ conditions or simply useless

in addition, the growing number of titans was making other ships absolutely irrelevant. if titans were in the same state as they were before Crucible, our line members' entire gameplay in fleets would involve sitting on a titan just in case our own titan blob was in danger. how fun is that?

so yes, compare this to the titan nerf - catalysts are, after all, just

Hi, my name is staggered Reps on a tanked Mack. And an Alpha gank (even of a Mack) is unprofitable (massively so), so who cares?

Achieving those unwasted harvester cycles because your cargo only holds enough for 1.5 cycles from 2 harvesters. Stagger by 30 seconds, don't mine afk & there's no problem with wasted cycles.

You whined because you got killed. Miners whined because they got killed.

The thing is, Titans had to be nerfed because they weren't being killed, but could kill subcaps in 1 shot regardless of using a DD or not. There's a difference between lobbying for a change that is to the betterment of everyone involved & lobbying for a change that makes the game easier for you so you don't get blown up because you were too lazy or stupid to fit a tank.

Not if you DD'd wrong ship.
