Sentry guns will also start with smaller amounts of damage, and ramp up with time. Ideal tuning will be to where triage carriers will die at around 4 1/2 minutes. This way, if you want to use triage carriers in lowsec on gates you can, but you must commit to the cycle for a length of time before starting your reps, if you want to deactivate triage before the sentry guns kill you and jump out. CCP Greyscale also points out that another goal is to make it so that the first couple of hits won't kill an interceptor immediately, enabling a quick tackle, and then a warp out. I've lived in lowsec for quite a while now and gotta tell you - this is probably gonna cause as much "whine 'n' unsub" threads as nex store/greed is good did. For those who don't go to low often - most of fleet/gang fights in low take place at gates. If gateguns are gonna pop carriers 4.5mins into the fight, cruiser/bc fleets going gcc on a gate aren't gonna happen at all. When was the last time you have seen a carrier at a gate? I don't think I've ever seen one. Gatecamps - those aren't the problem, people who won't learn/adapt are. You can easily get through all of them, just do a little research. discuss, lol Good, ***** more, bout time u pirates were forced off gates into actually being pirates instead of popping retrievers on gates in the words of Dianabolic YOU MAD BRO
Yeah, ignore all the ideas and reasons in this thread, make an ignorant comment and then end it all by squirting an overused meme out of your face.
This will kill tons of pvp in low sec, surprisingly many gangs go GCC on gates in order to get a fight, many of these engagements can be extended, or at least more so than a gank, this change will kill this style of fighting by tipping the balance much more heavily in favour of the non-GCC party.
In terms of eve-lore it doesn't make sense to me either, what reasoning is there behind a gun that starts off doing tiny amounts of damage, slowly building up into a **** cannon? Do the factions simply not give a **** if pirates sit on their gates for a little bit? |
