Right, nobody assigns fighters like they do drones either right?

Well you can very easily predict what CCP will do as you have Mynnna on the CSM and before you say NDA there is no way on earth that Mynnna does not tell kittens what is going on behind closed doors.

Anybody who believes that Mynnna does not tell all is stupid in the extreme.

screw the whole pvp thing if i cant assign 12 sentries from my ratting carrier to my tengu im gonna be very annoyed with you ccp :/

your right i'll fit up a 4bil marauder and go bastion in some anoms, what could go wrong right?

As for this CFC and nullsec slowcat thing, who cares? All I hear is nerds bleating back and forth about something.

This is funny because just a few days ago you guys were saying you know you can't win.

As for this CFC and nullsec slowcat thing, who cares? All I hear is nerds bleating back and forth about something.

I must be right about something because a goon is going with their talking points and personal attacks.

lol

"the only way to counter them is to alpha them"

not sure if trolling or serious.

very uncreative. no wonder you are failing in the war.

Perhaps if blobbing isn't working out so well you could consider not blobbing.

That's usually my approach to problems. When something works like ****, I try a different approach.

Different strokes for different folks, I suppose. Some people prefer to do the same thing over and over and hope that one day the outcome is different than all the other times. This kind of person is also known to lose lots of money on slot machines.

What do you want? A hand written instruction set delivered by mail on how to beat your internet-drama-space enemies?

Grow up.

yes please disable drone assignment
And when you are on it please do the same with all the other "anchor" FC (orbit, aproach) stuff.

90% of the players dont even know anymore how to fly their own ship.
It's all about, jump in --> anchor FC --> asisst drones/press F1 --> go afk

EVE is not the hardcore game anymore
its all about 50%logis in fleet, independent of fleetsize or shiptype
running away, unstoppable, ceptor fleets
or the big blop with 10% tidi

And how exactly will a smaller fleet break the tank of a slowcat fleet when the firepower of two full fleets of battleships isnt enough to even scratch them?

So whats the hold up then?

... sooooo, stop poking around in other peoples space and go home, problem solved.

Stop expecting other people to play the game your way. That is all.

That's not really what was being suggested, was it?
Unless the game is "beating your head against the N3 forces, coming out equal or weakened, then whining on forums to get doctrines used by N3 nerfed", you could still log into EVE and play the sandbox.
After all, if you don't like where your circumstances are right now, you can change them!
Such are the powers of the sandbox!

That's just ... not what you're doing. Your ceaseless campaign is akin to the toddler on the beach crying "over there they have one bouncy ball, none of my thirty balls are bouncy, i want a bouncy ball or nobody can have a bouncy ball, mommy fix!"
By all means play the game as you desire, as you find fun. I'll do that too.
But then don't go crying to CCP to get the sandbox changed.

oh the irony....

Which would only be a fair request when you first show how f.e. N3 is doing precisely that.
- Begging not to nerf.
- Possible target of nerf is utterly broken.

See, what you're doing here is begging mommy CCP to hold your hands, and when we point that out you tell us we're crying.
Sorry dude, you'll have to try harder.

Let me help you here Andski, what mittens wants, (drone nerf) he is likely to get, not because he deserves it, but because I have a horrible feeling that CCP may give in to him, as they may confuse what is good for the game overall with the supposed benefit of goon generated publicity for the game.

I sincerely hope I am wrong about this, and that CCP remember that whilst the goons are an important part of the game, they are not, and should not ever be bigger than the game.

Well it seems to be able to wallop you guys

Can't you stay over there, with the kids who don't know what they're talking about?

still no one has explained why you should only need sub capitals to fight a sov war?

the best part is the cfc decided to participate in this war they chose to become members of it... if they wanted they could go home and defend thier space and use boots to do it... but yet they choose to go on the offensive and then complain that the other side is using capitals to defend stuff that takes capitals to kill... FML

So you think 600 rifters should beat 300 megathrons?

I know how it feels to be hated by people who hate you for no other real reason but because you are big, I'm an American.

That's a more interesting outcome than "whoever has the most rifters wins."

You already stated that the amount of skillpoints required to be in a ship should have little bearing.

You stated the ISK cost of a ship should have little bearing.

Because after all... Despite the fact that carriers require much more skillpoints to fly effectively than subcapitals, and much more ISK investment, and more care with logistics...

Despite all this, carriers should actually be weaker than subcaps. Right?

The topic under discussion is Drone Assist.

Specifically, that "We can't break the tank of remote repping Archons.

To which I responded "WTF? You lot can't imagine using E-War?"

Are you trying to argue that Trit costs a different amount depending on what you use it for?

If so, that's incorrect.

Ships cost minerals. Minerals have a cost in ISK. Ships therefore cost ISK. This is hard, advanced stuff.

I can confirm this statement by logging on EVE, checking the markets, and seeing ships for sale that cost ISK.

Interesting. Never seen that myself (at least, it's not common). When CFC got crushed by the giant slowcat fleet a few weeks ago (well, not just slotcats. titans + slowcats + subcaps) the Archons were most definitely repping eachother.

There were no supers repping them.

Maybe I'm being silly. I assumed we were talking about actual fights that actually happen....As opposed to hypothetical fights that have not happened.

Here's an example Archon fit from the massive 2700+ pilot fight in DY-P7Q a few weeks back.

http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=20943717

I happen to see remote reppers fitted to it. Surprise!!!!

Also, it somehow died. I thought that was impossible.

well, I think 800-900 alpha maelstroms will kill them pretty fine. Too many? What do you expect shooting capital fleets of that size, a number game your alliances started by bloating up fleets with thrash. The difference in case of N3 is they arent bloating their fleet with thrash but with proper ships.
