If eve had PvP which isn't "more skillpoints always win" I would've tried it.

How come dev blog isn't enough evidence?

Of course. After a single Proteus blew the whole Rifter gang, the truth became quite obvoius.

More ships = more pilots = more skillpoints = win.

My predictions are way more optimistic than what this evidence supports.

Demand is gonna be dead

God I hate that name. What the hell was I thinking.

That is an overoptimistic prediction as it looks to me.

Except there were no miners. Alloys. Shuttles. Meta x stuff reprocessing. No need to mine.
I remember the times too, you know.

Now what do we have in odyssey? Screwed demand. Values shifted. Getting my drift?

I abstain from "good vs bad" analysis, it's just a fact it's going to die.

i still think demand is going to drop harder than supply.

Well, like i said, if eve had pvp not bound to "SP = win", gates could really open both sides.

And that nice shiny bubble camp of higher SP characters en masse.

This year I've only been out in lowsec in a party wishing to close the escalation.
We never achieved a single kill on other players, and never went above 50% survival rate.
Not enough skillpoints for pvp yet.

fixd.

[Waiting for SP to accumulate won't work because everyone's SP is accumulating.

So, at which gate do you usually camp while tricking newbies into setting themself back by trying PvP?

Broken due to ignorance, inexperience, and lack of actually sitting down to see what SP do.

It is quite obvious that everyone who engages in pvp maxed out his pvp skills in years of playing.

Until you're maxed out like they are

Better I cannot, because i lack SP to be better.

Smarter won't work against stroner (due to SP diff).

More numbers = more SP => fits within "more SP to win" formula.

Which doesn't cancel the fact that in the same frigate you lose to 10% of his SP, because those 10% is still greater than your 100%.

Your tactics won't work if you don't have enough SP to back it up.

Same reason for smarter. No matter how smart you are, you can't do anything about it if you deal 20% less damage and have 20% less tank.

> Take all the PvP SP from that pile, and that will be how much SP you need to make tactics and being smart matter.

Mining belts ain't gonna be worth it, so every ice field will be camped.

Which would be about 3x of PvP SP I got.
So I don't have to worry about PvP for a few more years after all.

Just looking at Tippia, maybe 2mill to beat, tops. From a quick glance, her most effective combat ship would be some version of T3 cruiser. You don't need a whole lot to tear down a T3, just some intelligence about game mechanics.

My assertions are all over this thread.

You're gonna increase your SP as well

I'm confused.

How is increasing SP, which makes all the difference, won't make any difference?

And it's based on devblog entry on odyssey mining changes.
