You say that larger groups should not have an advantage over smaller groups by virtue of their size. First of all, this is not something you can just change because it's basic tactics that larger groups generally overpower smaller ones. This is not some variable CCP developers can go into the code and set "smallerFleetsHaveAdvantage=1;".
Furthermore, even if they could somehow force a mechanic to nullify the advantage that larger groups have over smaller ones in combat, why SHOULD they? That's basically sending a message that "we don't want you to cooperate in large groups, smaller groups are better." Where would they draw the line, anyway? Who's to decide what size of a group is "good" and what size is "bad"?
I often have a chuckle at the people who scream "omg blobs". They woulda been the poor extra on TV or in a movie like Battlestar Galactica/Star Trek/Babylon 5/Star Wars battle screaming "Effing Blobbers" right before they got their dumb ass vaporized.
The truth is some people can't deal with their own failures (in this case, their failure to make friends and generate a following) in an MMO. |

Come to null if you want to be a part of a player run empire.
Leaen to use diplomacy if you want your corp to be a part of an emprie. Blobbers, blue lists and being a pet. Same feeling as climbing the rope in gym class.
I hated that rope and now hate you for reminding me of it. i'm coming to VFK in a Rifer with 1 gun and some fireworks to teach you a lesson goonboy. Just D-scan for a ship named "NerdRage" and you'll find me.
