Perhaps its not the supercaps that "ruin" the game. Perhaps its the cyno is the issue. Yeah it would require the gates to be able to handle every ship size.
Having no cyno would hurt life in non-empire massively but would force the players to work much more together than they do now. Think of Convoys, outmanouvering enemy fleets, the need to produce the most of your stuff in the place you live in. Making your own space worthwile to live in, because you actively don't want to stick to empire rules that someone made up. Basically comitting yourself to that space.
I believe that cynos are a the root of the evil stalemate in 0.0 . Yes, lets make people run MMO escort missions all day every day. It's a game. Trying to turn it into world war one for the sake of making it less fun and more annoying.. why?
this isnt a game. when someone has to work to earn a ship, then work to earn the mods and run the chance of loosing tons of money when it dies is not a game. when BOB fell, there was $16000 worth of cap ships stolen from their hangar...that is not a game.
this is a simulator or sorts. it reflects real life economics, working towards a goal and actually putting real time into generating goods.
a game was xwing vs tie fighter. if u blow up, you get another ship. you push redo.
i have yet to be able to push redo and get a faction fit marauder back or an orca for that matter.
i remember the days when FIX was the king of 300 ship drive-by's. we worked with BOB on numerous occasions but when we wanted something, it was a blob fest even back in 03-04. more ships= more destruction.
the only way to stop the blob would be to limit the amount of bad guys who can target a single ship.
i am in no way an advocate for this, but if only 1 person can attack 1 ship, then it wouldnt matter how many you brought. things would change. it wouldnt be fleet warfare anymore, it would be a bunch of 1v1.
blob warfare is here to stay.
and cyno's arent the root of evil. i dislike cynos because they force me to rely on someone else to come flag me in...i should be able to jump to that system if i choose without relying on another paying account. but thats my opinion. i like caps being able to jump, but i would love for them to be able to use a gate as well. i dont think thats over powered at all.
if i wanna rat 1 system over, its stupid for me to have to get someone to cyno me in 1 system.
having the ability to jump is a good thing, but limiting us to jumping as an ONLY means of transport is dumb.
all one would have to do is open the limit for gates. i would jump 2 systems and rat or jump if i have a cyno. |
