guess you like the pvp to be the same all over eve then if you disagree with the rest then :P

but ehh im not here to argue CCP will **** over whatever they want to as usual and we'll all have to adapt or have a winter of rage with the only 3 guys that live in lowsec

Wha...?

He is helping you to reach for the block button.

you will be amazed op, but essential element of PVP are human players and for some reason, they happen to pass gates from time to time.

Not everyone can skip past gates without jumping through.

The problem is not so much the players, it's the game design. Sadly, fighting on gates is the most effective and fastest way to get kills, so you find all players there obviously. I had this mindset to get "good pvp" earlier as well, but after half a year of pirating in lowsec I just realized that it is a huge waste of time, so I just used my smartbomb BS and instalocking Mach on sniperspots until I got bored of it.

Eve just looks like it was a space game but lacks everything that lets you feel like you would actually travel through space. It is just moving from one fixed point to another, those fixed points are belts, stations, gates and another objects that you warp to. In between there is nothing and this is the problem.

If you would actually need to travel between those fixed points at varios speeds and if you had the ability to search and intercept ships mid- travel, then we would have more exciting and credible space combat. Also, the ability to warp away after couple of seconds of picking up speed kills various forms of PvP. It would be better if it would take more time to accelerate and the warp disrupting ability would be greatly reduced, this way ships would need to maneuver around way more and one would get more possibilities to intercept ships on other locations than just gates.

But then again this would mean a total redesign of the game so it's not gonna happen. I personally hope that some day there will be another space game that gets the space combat thing better than Eve.

Because you just click your fingers and you've destroyed a POS... Oh wait, i have to come back in 1 day 16 hours only to be hot dropped by 5 random corps?

I do shoot structures now and again but it's boring as **** most of the time and i'd pick unpredictable gate fights anytime.

Oh wait, i have to come back in 1 day 16 hours only to be hot dropped by 5 random corps?

5 random corps instead of three fleets and supercaps from 1 alliance?

Whose structure are you shooting?

If this is your only gripe then I say you lack tactical flexibility.

The act of reinforcing a tower pretty much guarantees a fight if the corp who owns it is willing to defend it. Is there a chance they bring more than you bargained on? Yes, it is warfare afterall and he'll want to win as badly as you do. No plan survives contact with the enemy.

In that case then maybe you need to pick your targets more carefully. To win fights you need to know what you're capabilities are as well as those of your opponent. And if you bring your entire assembled force to kill the tower, leaving nothing in reserve to deal with drops or to give you a chance to manage an extract if it goes to hell on you then I just don't know what to tell you.

All I'm saying is that if you want a fight (win or lose) going after something someone would like to keep is the quickest way to get one. The surest way to get an enemy to commit to battle to is to attack something he values. In EVE that happens to be structures and ships. Ships can run away, Structures cannot.

Also, look closely at the last sentence in my first post. I would classify your post as whining about grinding structures, ergo HTFU.

That may be how it is in Null sec with the Sov wars. But in low sec stuff turns into a cluster **** real fast.

Of course, it's a lot harder to tackle those supercaps, they can drop in and jump out pretty fast if they're good at it.

Too bad you don't have bubbles there.

If you turds would just get off gates and hunt like REAL pirates, ... DERP

Yeah!

Everybody knows that REAL pirates went deep out to sea to find their victims. They didn't lurk in commonly used trade lanes or near lucrative seaports.

No Sir, they stayed away from where all the traffic and valuable cargo was.

Did they also attack in places where magical police would teleport in and blow them up?

Holy crap, I think we just discovered the fool proof way to stop the Somali pirate problem. Add sentries that "ramp up" and magical police to the ocean.

Don't the somali use small ships though? The current sentries that instapop frigates would be better than ones that ramp up, allowing those small ships to survive for a while.

If you turds would just get off gates and hunt like REAL pirates, there wouldn't be a need to change the way gates work in low. Stop hugging gates to gain an advantage (because your 93843 million ISK ship going after that cheaply fit Rifter wasn't good enough) and get your asses out there and destroy ships in SPACE. Get off your front porch, you whiny pussies.

I'm a goddamn new player that immediately went to lowsec space to carve out my niche. Even I'M not ***** enough to sit at a gate. I hunt when I'm feeling froggy. You veterans sitting around at the gates make my teeth itch. Get off the gates and join the rest of the world.
