Dont write T3 battlecruiser. First T3 measn TECH 3. Secodsn there is no more TIER 3 either. THey are attack bc. Makes confusiing to read and make peopel think you have no clue .

Because brawlers don't have enough advantages? Being able to disengage comes at a pretty huge price in terms of tank and damage

it lets us be ambitious and aggressive with target selection instead of just blobbing things.

If you must commit to kill something, which is what this suggestion is proposing.

then you will only fight when you know 100% ahead of time that you will win

Sorry, force of habit

Anyways, if CCP really wants to make BCs relevant in today's meta, they need to go back and give them a serious balance pass. When I spoke to Fozzie at fanfest, he said that not enough time has passed to see how BCs are performing, and that the 'metrics' show they are getting used plenty. In practice, however, in PVP I rarely see BCs used seriously, with exceptions being Oracles, Nados, and blob Nagas.

So what's supposed to catch and kill MJD Naga fleets?

actual man-hours were spent implementing this ****** idea. think about that.

He also said that expecting damage from a hurricane at 20km was as absurd as expecting damage from a hurricane at 100km and that trying to kite with minmatar, the race built around speed and agility whose lore is dedicated to harassing the superior but slower amarr empire, was doing it wrong. This is not a man who has a clue.

Haha yeah I prompted that answer by referring to a laser-Cane out-DPSing an AC-Cane at 24km, with which he responded "well so would a mega beam laser Cane." Chessur and I simply hung our heads in disappointment. I believe Fozzie has a very jaded view on today's meta.

do you even brawl bro? eve is a social game, if you can't bring more guys than they have then you don't deserve to win, god


It's actually very reassuring to see that 95% of the responses in this topic are explaining in no uncertain terms why this is an awful idea. Although the implication of that is that Fozzie is now actually less aware of what the **** is going on than the average eve player which is a pretty scary concept for the future of this game.

This is terrible don't do this, you're making it increasingly easy to avoid combat in a game where picking a fight can already be an extreme challenge.

So what's supposed to catch and kill MJD Naga fleets?

I wonder if Fozzie has the courage to go back on this idea at all, given 95% of the feedback is completely negative? Man up, Fozzie.

MJD BC fleets?

I hate admitting that Grath is right, but Grath is right.

How does that catch the nagas? You mjd, they all warp. You need 100km lock range to be able to point stuff upon mjding, and you need a scram if you want to stop them from warping or using their own mjd. So you

The bc mjd is basically either to make it harder to tackle snipers, because people shouldnt lose their ships just because they couldnt bother paying attention, or as a tool to straight up end a fight, and we all know that if there is one thing that people want less of in eve, its fights.

send out tackle, if they warp off then thats no different than now, however if you do get a successful tackle you can now be there for the kill quickly. Either way these modules give you more options when it comes to maneuverability in gangs/fleets. Especially if you are smaller group than your opponent.

It's no longer a gaurunteed "they have disruptors/bubbles, there is no way for me to try and engage this group" It is now "They most likely have disruptors/bubbles lets warp in see what we can do and bug out"

If the FC has more escape options he may be more willing to engage in riskier endeavors. It's no longer a point/bubble = dead kind of world anymore.

People are more likely to take risks if they have ways to offset them.

If you are in, say, a wormhole, you fit am mMJD and the moment you see something on scan, you just light it and voila, you are 100km away from where you were. LOLOL. Fail.

Camping a gate and the gate guns are a bit pesky? Why, just fit an mMJD and sit 60km off the gate. 12s later, and voila, you have shed gate gun aggro and can warp back to 60km. Hello pathetic gate camps, again. Fail.

Or sit at zero on a gate, with a buddy in a linked Vigilant.

Ratting in low or null? Why, just fit an MJD. When you're sick of being at zero in a belt or anomaly, just align somewhere (can take all of 4s!) MJD and laugh at the ceptors trying to catch you. LOLOL. Fail.

The only counter to this is obviously the Mordus ships

A battleship is a large armored warship with a main battery consisting of heavy caliber guns. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries the battleship was the most powerful type of warship, and a fleet of battleships was vital for any nation which desired to maintain command of the sea.

"People take more risks if the risks aren't risky anymore"

Might as well remove all forms of warp disruption from the game so people are more willing to take fights where they might lose their ships.

Honestly the day Riot poach Rise and Fozzie can't come soon enough, we've paid our dues here in EVE, why can't some other gaming community suffer them for a while.
