The peasants look forward to looting your wreck.
Also, your concept of the fair fight is hilarious, please expand on it.
Apparently its now Dodgeball in Spaceships... Do we all get trophies when we're done here?
OP; If its a fair fight you're doing it wrong....

3. The deployment of Super-capitals and Titans was envisaged to be a show of power in addition to large sub-capital fleets, and
4. Super-capitals and Titans were planned as anti capital platforms.
Because the Super-capital class were essentially immune to the sub-cap class only the very dumb (and alone) Super-capital pilots suffered losses. This led to a proliferation of Super-Capitals that has reduced sov warfare to being:
N Super Caps < N+1 Super Caps
The argument that Super-capital pilots will congeal into large blobs is a laughable.
H-W; 2 biggest Super-Capital blobs in the game
UMI: 2 biggest Super-Capital blobs in the game
LXQ2: 2 biggest Super-Capital blobs in the game
VFK: 1 Biggest Super-Capital blob in the game
You can argue that these blobs were not permanent - however due to the nature of Super-capital mechanics, every alliance NAP since the fall of IT has been about Super-capital dominance.
Actually, that is MY point. What you fail to extrapolate from your own data is that this trend will be EVEN FURTHER MAGNIFIED by the new nerf -- as super pilots will have more reason than ever to be in the N+1 blob rather than the N blob. Do you understand? Yes / No 1. There is no way you can extrapolate from data that does not exist.  2. The logic you present as new has has been in the back of every Super-Capitals pilots mind since they boarded their coffins. Why did the NC fail to defend its space. Cause they were worried they couldn't be N+1. The nerf won't make the blobbing worse, as the nerf couldn't make the blobbing worse than it is. It will just make the blob easier to kill.
This is the first valid counter argument that I have seen. That is, the hypothesis that the NC vs DRF blob represented the maximum possible concentration of supers in EVE at that time. You might be right about that point.
The nerfs to supercaps will cause more super pilots to join the largest alliances who can properly "support" their deployment, further concentrating firepower/wealth in EVE. The end result will be fewer "fun" fights, and will hurt EVE in the long run. |

OP
I understand your point, but I think you are missing something. I think we'll see MANY more fights and smaller fights. You don't want to deploy your supers? well get ready to defend cause the hits are still coming!
let me put it this way, Eve now has consequences for bringing big ships if you cant afford to lose them.
Repair Drones should be able to repair anyone ... really, they should. -áThink of them as the first targetable subsystem if you're worried about PvP and for missions if someone wants Rep drones over a flight of Hobs, who cares. -áThere is no reasonable objection here other than it's always been that way (so was RR until recently). |
