NiiKleagh	Posted - 2010.12.20 17:44:00 - [1] Originally by: Kail Storm As the Drake Craze is slowing because Certain ALli`s have shown how easy it is for proper fit and flown BS`s to wipe them out even to 2 to 1 odds this thread is becoming proved more wrong each day. Now we have official Goons fit to be 1400 arty Maels/Pest, PL to be Abby`s, Evoke still using its Arty fleets. Basically the BS was dying not because its huge disadvantages but more because peoples perceptions, Eve is like the stock market where 1 rumor gets out and is heavily talked about perception makes it so. For instance 1 guy loves the drake and gets his Carebears who normally dont PVP to get in proper fits they do well compared to what they used to do, partially because its a great ship but also because they now have a standard fit and are paying attention to what they are fitting, they now thinks its superior and tell everyone, then someone see`s the KB`s and see`s how a normally CareBear alli did very well. 3 weeks later a ton of players new and old have similiar fits and do very well. And it keeps going and going. In Eve if you fit any large group of ships that are decent and fit them all the sameit usually is alot more effective than taking a great ship and fitting them all a differant way. The Drake was easy to fit, purchase and fly and this made it even more effective but was by no means the end all be all. Now that people in Eve fly a ton of them the pilots who fly BS`s that are rigged to fight and beat drakes will get great KB STats and soon we will have a BS`s need to be Nerf`d threads. Eve is about adapting through change of trends, CH for instance was Shield for a while in the begining then Armor and towards the end 50/50 and they did remarkable things using all 3, Ships didnt change but trends did, so they Took things like Hacs and fought BS`s when BS were king, BC`s to fight Hacs when Hacs became king, SC`s to beat Titans etc. The BS is safe IMO, peeps just need to realise they cant fight Solo ,in them unless its a very small number of them like the Tempest, Phoon Etc. This guy has plenty of time in EVE, lol. Well said.
