Wyke Mossari Gallente Staner Industries	Posted - 2011.01.26 19:39:00 - [1] Edited by: Wyke Mossari on 26/01/2011 19:59:22 If the new NPC AI is just going do omni-damage and omni-tank all damage types the same what is the point of having different damage types at all? There is none, it negates the whole point of having differences. Incursion rats, Sansha now, whatever in the future, should still retain some semblance of their traditional damage types and tanking weakness variations. /rant.

Ikarus Gaul Gallente Eiffel Initiatives	Posted - 2011.01.26 19:43:00 - [4] Originally by: Wyke Mossari ...rant... Well, reduction to one damage type would certainly save on tanking slots! ;-) á How many humans will CONCORD allow Master Kuvakei and his True Slaves to abduct? How many is too many? Too many have already been lost! 40M citizens on countless planets!

There is none, it negates the whole point of having differences. Incursion rats, Sansha now, whatever in the future, should still retain some semblance of their traditional damage types and tanking variations. /rant. obvious troll is obvious. Since when do you only tank for 1 dmg type for pvp?
Destination SkillQueue Are We There Yet	Posted - 2011.01.26 20:11:00 - [6] I was under the impression that they do retain traditional damage types. As in their lasers do EM/therm and their missiles do kin/expl damage. Also, the omni tank doesn't have to mean every resist is identical. It just means they don't have any obvious holes in their resists, which is the logical way to tank any PvP ship. This has the added benefit of forcing people doing those sites to use fits, that are more viable in PvP. This way no race is gimped doing those sites and doing them doesn't render your fleet so vulnerable to PvP fitted ships as normal PvE fits would. Basicly they seem to be intentionally designed to be efficiently doable in ships, that don't have strong PvP handicaps.
Shintai Gallente Arx Io Orbital Factories Arx Io	Posted - 2011.01.26 20:24:00 - [7] I havent done any incursion. But if Incursion Sanshas omni tank and omni damages. Then its really bugged. They should do like regular sanshas so to say. I could understand the sleeper thing since it was new. But this is just plain wrong. Multiple damage types/resists are good. Hell I might wish we even add one more type. But stay to the storyline so to say. And not just omni everything with insane damage because they cant code a useful AI. -------------------------------------- Abstraction and Transcendence: Nature, Shintai, and Geometry
Beckie Dorne	Posted - 2011.01.26 20:38:00 - [8] but they have been upgraded by the jovians dont forget. they not regular sansha.
Flybiere Gallente Intergalactic Shrimp Emporium	Posted - 2011.01.26 23:10:00 - [9] Originally by: Shintai I havent done any incursion. So don't comment until you have. Also, if you were say, doing a low sec incursion and you only had to tank EM and thermal, whats to stop some caldari bastard warping in and cluster ****ing your fleet with missiles? We had a brutal Vanguard incursion tonight. Took over an hour because we fleeted with noobs who didn't know how to focus fire on a single target. Geeze... /rant

Xituqtra	Posted - 2011.01.27 00:19:00 - [11] if sansha would only deal em/therm damage and there resist hole would be em/therm like normal sansha gues what ships would be used most? Yes correct amarr ships with there em/therm damage and great em/therm tanks. Now would that be good?
Apollo Gabriel Brotherhood Of Fallen Angels Etherium Cartel	Posted - 2011.01.27 00:31:00 - [12] have you ever done pvp with omni incoming damage? Why wouldn't the Sansha adapt, I have no issue if they have frigs which do therm, and some frigs which do exp, etc, model after all the races if you want, but predictable shouldn't be part of it. Best regards, Apollo Gabriel
Saint Lazarus Pwn 'N Play Chaos Theory Alliance	Posted - 2011.01.27 00:41:00 - [13] Whats so unbeliveable about Sansha learning to plug the massive holes in their tank?.... Incursion would be too easy if it was just EM/Therm and another person pointed out it would make Amarr over powered against them so as to make it harder for every other race. Be unfair ----------------- My EvE Comic
Akita T Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2011.01.27 00:43:00 - [14] Originally by: Wyke Mossari If the new NPC AI is just going do omni-damage and omni-tank all damage types the same what is the point of having different damage types at all? There is none, it negates the whole point of having differences. Besides, are you SURE they have absolutely IDENTICAL resistances ? In all four resists ? As opposed to slight variations but without any gaping holes like regular NPCs ? And are you also sure they all deal exactly the same average damage on all resists regardless of your speed or signature size ? Really ? I'm going to guess that the answers are mostly "no". Also, EVEN IF by some miracle the answers would actually be mostly "yes" (which is extremely doubtful, but hey, I've seen stranger things happen): [sarcasm] OBVIOUSLY having the NPCs telegraph their punches and having glowy weakspots is the whole point of having NPCs at all in the first place, so yeah, you're right, there's no point in having any NPCs without obvious weaknesses and without easy ways to defend against them solo. [/sarcasm] A-duuuuh! _ Make ISK\|\|Build\|\|React\|\|1k papercuts _

Why wouldn't the Sansha adapt, I have no issue if they have frigs which do therm, and some frigs which do exp, etc, model after all the races if you want, but predictable shouldn't be part of it. Show me a fit for a frigate, bomber, cruiser and battleship that can: - Omnitank with epic resists - Omnidamage with epic DPS - Oh, and they all fit RR too I don't have a problem with rats being harder as long as it makes sense. Like instead of omnidamage, omnitank. Half of them do EM/Thermal, the other half Exp/Kin. Also, you can omnitank at the cost of resists or DPS but sleepers and incursion sanshas don't seem to have that problem Also, pvp dudes: have you ever been in a battle where you primary a frig or bomber you can't blowup because of RR? btw: i still can't figure out a battleship fit that can one-shot a drone from 100km away like sleepers do -- I take offense on people feeling offended by me

Like instead of omnidamage, omnitank. Half of them do EM/Thermal, the other half Exp/Kin. AFAIK, you can omnitank at the cost of buffer or DPS but sleepers and incursion sanshas don't seem to have that problem Also, pvp dudes: have you ever been in a battle where you primary a frig or bomber you can't blowup because of RR? btw: i still can't figure out a battleship fit that can one-shot a drone from 100km away like sleepers do Don't forget about the Neuts, ECM, Webs, and Scrams.

Incursions are group-PvE-content to give you a glimpse of the needs and options how to engage other podpilots. Fly, Die, Adapt, Learn and then BeatTheCrapOutOfOthers.

Batolemaeus Caldari Free-Space-Ranger Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2011.01.27 06:18:00 - [22] Op should pay more attention to the damage sansha are actually doing. Hint: They're using more than one weapon system. They do different damagetypes. This is not unheard of in pvp either. Also, guy above me, a 08/15 dominix pvp fit does that too. I, for one, am relieved that this is the first time in Eve history that a pvp fleet can run pve content with minimal to no changes to the setup at all. Even the strategies are similar.
jowming	Posted - 2011.01.27 06:34:00 - [23] Edited by: jowming on 27/01/2011 06:39:57 i joined a incursion on the first day they really do to much damage and are way overtanked a frig can hit you for over 600+ damage in the small incursions and tank pretty much any damage your group tosses at it and i made it out fine i left and went back to what i do normaly never lost a ship but i can see why there not going to be done much a normal 6 man group would not have any chance at killing them if your forced to rep everyone and not able to get a shot off oh and that 600+ damage was in a domi with 80 resists across the board
Kyra Felann Gallente The Scope	Posted - 2011.01.27 06:57:00 - [24] Originally by: Batolemaeus I, for one, am relieved that this is the first time in Eve history that a pvp fleet can run pve content with minimal to no changes to the setup at all. Even the strategies are similar. I really like this also. Further, I think all PvE content should move toward being basically like PvP. Having "PvE fits" and "PvP fits" is silly--there should just be "combat fits". -----WARNING SIGNATURE BELOW----- Originally by: CCP Ginger Ships have crews, most pod controlled frigates do not, above that they have crews of varying sizes. Hope that helps.

These sansha iirc were designed to mirror pod pilots a lot closer. Ergo they plug thier res holes and use real guns. Your way to use to missions where a room of 15 battleships put out 600dps.... Your could tank any bs nicely wiht smaller large guns have RR and ewar and still put out 300+ dps per Bs which stands to reason a group of 10 of you puts out 3k dps. Why wouldnt the Sansha be able to do the same?
Ocih Amarr The Program Controlled Chaos	Posted - 2011.01.27 07:10:00 - [27] So you can hot drop the sansha, crash the node and pick them off as they log back in?
Takashi X2	Posted - 2011.01.27 07:21:00 - [28] Originally by: Ocih So you can hot drop the sansha, crash the node and pick them off as they log back in? They load with the server first therefore will pick you off as you log back in. And yes thats what they would do.

With thier omni tanked, Omni Dps, Omni lock, Omni speed tanked, omni ranged, multi platform, full bonus frigates that we can make for PvP. Gotcha.
Batolemaeus Caldari Free-Space-Ranger Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2011.01.27 07:24:00 - [30] Originally by: jowming i joined a incursion on the first day they really do to much damage and are way overtanked a frig can hit you for over 600+ damage in the small incursions and tank pretty much any damage your group tosses at it Webifiers. They work. What doesn't work is flinging cruise missiles or heavy drones at them. With some minimal thought about proper synergy between the ships in fleet the frigates pop before receiving even one rr cycle. With a modicum of planning the cruisers melt in seconds without getting repped one bit. When a rag-tag band of people who have for the most part never flown together can rush through vanguard sites after a few lines of coordination, like I did earlier with some random people I know only from irc and forums, incursions can't be too hard. We completed them with no losses. With too few people in fleet so we got less payout even. And we weren't in trouble even once. It's not the sites that are too hard, it's the highsec population that is too weak tbh.
