knobber Jobbler Holding Inc. 4	Posted - 2011.10.05 09:15:00 - [61] - Quote Sofia Bellard wrote: It is not a troll at all. Let me use an analogy for you: If you have a Ford Pinto and I have a Porsche GT3 RS and we are going to race; how fair is it that because you didn't try hard in life, I am not allowed to put my car into gear while you putter off to the finish line to win? If you've fit your ship for pve and a rupture turns up fitted for pvp then its nothing to do with how much isk you have. It's so unrelated I can't even be bothered to explain, it should be obvious. Your analogy is also way off. It's more like this: A guy challenges you to a race,you accept. you bought a bugatti veyron. The other guy brought an old escort mk 4. What he neglected to tell you or you neglected to find out is the race as on gravel through winding mountain tracks, not flat tarmac. Veyron loses and probably fails to even finish, antique rally car wins by a wide margin.

Skippermonkey Tactical Knightmare 75	Posted - 2011.10.05 12:38:00 - [67] - Quote Renan Ruivo wrote: Now, lets take a look at the RORQUAL. Do you know what a Rorqual role is? Its role is to act as the ultimate mining fleet-command ship. And it is. It is NOT supposed to be able to MINE on its own, and so it doesn't. If you ever try to mine with a rorqual you will see what i am talking about. It also costs 4 billion ISK but in all-out combat (a role for which this ship was NOT designed) it sucks donkey anus. It can tank a lot, and it can dish out damage (with sentries), but that is not is primary role. Could not resist; my personal favorite kill i have ever been involved in
Bohawke 0	Posted - 2011.10.05 12:48:00 - [68] - Quote Dear OP, Here's an analogy for you... Say I walk into a bar and start drinking heavily. Then in walks a bunch of women, you know the type - drop dead gorgeous Asian triplets with giant boobs in schoolgirl uniform hot. Now while every drunk dude in the place is busy "eye-humping" the babes, in walks several other women (namely YOUR avatar, some other train wrecked women, oh and what the hell - Ladie Scarlet's avatar too). So, back to the drinking. I'm pounding down bourbons & beers like there's no tomorrow and soon I'm drunker than all of last years prom queens from New Jersey put together. While I was working on my drinking all the hot babes have left the bar for better places to be. Also, all the "runner-ups" are in dark corners being dry-humped by dirt-bags before they head home to the wife, dog, and 2.3 children. I look around to see what meat is still available at the bar and I see YOU and Ladie Scarlet. I begin to drink more, this time moving up from the well to the back shelf and demand the beer keeps coming. I keep looking over at the two of you after I finish each beer, looking for the eventual change to take place. This carries on until last call. I look over one last time and see what I need to see - one of you has turned into a very hot chick with the body of every tight cheerleader I sexually destroyed back in high school (Sorry for the limp Amanda). I slur at the bartender to get me a cab, I walk over to Ladie Scarlet and offer her my hand and tell her I'm gonna bang her like Ron Jeremy bangs teen wannabe **** stars and we leave together. I pause momentarily to puke on YOUR back before I leave with Ladie Scarlet. So, why did this happen? Was I just being spiteful towards you? Did I really need to drink so much for the two of you to become more beautiful? Am I just a sailor (circa 1900's) with little to no moral standards? Its simple really, I drank until I had the courage to ask Ladie Scarlet to bed (with thanks to beer goggles for her transformation), while you STILL LOOK LIKE A MAN IN A FRIKKIN' WIG! Seriously, what is up with your Avatar? How the heck did you make a male toon with women's hair? Could she be any uglier? Please remake your butt-ugly toon so all of us superficial players will consider taking anything you say seriously... Hugs, Bo-Bo-licious I'm just here for the laughs...
Gerald Taric F-H Schwerindustrie und Sicherheit KRAUTZ-FEDERATION 0	Posted - 2011.10.05 12:58:00 - [69] - Quote Obsidian Hawk wrote: It's not the size that matters, it's how you use it. Exactly that! The reference to the real live also works here. A racing car with interiors made of ivory, gems and other luxury materials (therefore expensive) is not guaranteed to win the race. Also a tank could be beaten by a small, but fast car. The money or size are not the (only) deciding attributes.

Simetraz State War Academy Caldari State 77	Posted - 2011.10.05 15:08:00 - [73] - Quote Freighters getting ganked in high-sec Mac's getting ganked in high-sec Hulk's getting ganked in high-sec The ships used to do the ganking cost a lot less then the ships being destroyed. And then there is the jump freighter Working as intended, get over it. Capitals (Balancing and Roles)

Ratnose Banker Pink Sockers 0	Posted - 2011.10.05 17:25:00 - [78] - Quote I think there should be some reward for flying expensive ships. Or we can all just fly battlecruisers like the goonNOOBs I guess.

Isn't universal celebrity reward enough? Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try.

Ok, Your still underestimating the power of cheaper things, for all you know, that Ford Pinto could be entirely racing fit, and your little Porsche would be disgraced, much like in your previous post of Rupture vs CNR. Please stop posting, your making yourself look stupid.
