Regardless of how much you might disagree, you're all mental if you think CCP will remove off-grid boosters. "I know, let's make it so lots of people unsub their second account!" :eye roll:

@LCO: The falcon nerf was in no way comparable to removing off grid boosting and you know it. 0/10. Deuce.

I wouldn't object so much to making boosting occur on grid only if it wasn't for the fact that command ships are so ******* boring to fly. If you're kiting in a claymore you've got no ability to project damage and if you're brawling in a damnation you've got no damage at all.

My main has CS V tqvm. And unless you're FCing, CS are bad to fly and i can tell you that from extensive experience. You are essentially following people around and whoring killmails. Scimitars (dude above) are awesome fun to fly.

Oh ho ho ho, you are so funny and clever.

Don't try to pretend that people didn't whine about OGBs because they are too bad to train a prober alt.

And even if you aren't whining, you are still too lazy to probe OGBs so you are happy that the game is being simplified for you.

You can make up all the stories you want, but nobody uses OGBs in RvB fleets. Seeing as all the fights are pre-arranged between the FCs. But that just shows how much you know... not much.


Also, post with your main or gtfo.

Simple really eve is so dumbed now the nubs dont know how good they got it

With my terrible math skills, I calculate 8,960,000 Skill points for a character with "no proper skilling" to sit in a 6-link T3.

Well I tend to disagree that 4-5 months is nothing. To a long-term, established player, sure another account is not THAT big of a deal, but running another account for 4-5 months before it's able to serve its purpose does not in any way seem like a noob friendly endeavor. You ever read new player posts? People can't even convince them to rack up a few million SP's before they want to try undocking a battleship.

It's old-player alt friendly to skill one up, but there's still the lost potential of that account that could be used more effectively as a DPS or E-war alt. How much "risk" is involved in using a falcon alt every time a person engages 1-2 players? Meta gaming is always going to give you some advantage vs the true solo player, nerfing OGB will just mark the return of the infamous falcon alt.

That's right, but the whole point is in having to make trade-offs. At the moment should you start assemling a fixed-number gang of, say, 3-5 ships, you always have to evaluate pros and cons of any particular ship, that's including the boosting one. Are 3 skirmish links really more usefull than increasing your DPS by 25-50% or RR power by 1/3? That's a tough choice. Now it's all entirely different for blobs, they can easily remove one of their 50 Drakes and take a booster instead.

And that's just wrong.

I'd say that this particular thing is one of the most terrible flaws in current EVE mechanics, along with instantenious risk-free hot-dropping.
