Dudes Hello...
I have been holding this post off for sometime as its something I feel strongly about but also wanted to see how well ceptors did in there current state. As you can tell from this post me and a lot of other pvpers are not very happy with the out come of ceptors and how they have changed the 0.0 landscape.
Interceptors are sadly breaking the game for a lot of solid pvp groups that like to fly in HACs, Recons and other not very cheap stuff. Often these people are old vets that have been playing Eve for years. Eve has lost its epic small gang and solo aspect in 0.0 and that is down to interceptors and is very worrying as small gang pvpers and soloers are the core of eve. even in huge alliances the corps that do well are the ones that do a lot of solo and small gang stuff along side the larger fleets. almost all the people I have talked to really dislike the changes that have been made on ceptors ( I have talked to people in TRI, B2K, BL,-A-, Exodus & a lot of solo pvpers.
Things I think CCP could do to help out solo/small gang pvp people that wants to fly in 0.0 with shiny ships
Remove interceptor bubble immunity. This will make it harder but not impossible to move 50 man fleets of interceptors around and bring back the fleet welps with smartbombs (giving ceptors something to think about).
They need less tinfoil and more paper! idk something a long the lines of bigger sig or less EHP
They also ceptors put out to much dps if we are going to have 50 / 100 man gangs of them around its just silly...
Things CCP have fixed. captor warp speed and speeds are very nice, they are a keeper
Things I don't see any more. soloers; talos, cyna, vaga, SFI Or small gang fleets of HACs and alike. (This truly is a crying shame for eve)
My point is, This kind of pvp the shiny small gang pvp is dying its a bit like giving eve heart disease. The fact of the matter is high value, high dps, high speed, small numbers & an epic FC is the most fun eve has to offer and that kind of fun you don't get in other games or other kinds of activities in eve.
Taking on a 60 man gang with 10 dudes and not losing a ship, killing over half of them that's the most fun in pvp. There will be people that disagree with me and others that agree the ones that agree will be players with experience in pvp and there others that disagree will people that have limited pvp XP and likely only ever done blob wars, lag fests, and other skill-less mindless activities so its no wonder they like to fly ceptors. small gang / solo in 0.0 is part of the eve web it breaks and the hole structure fails apart
Kind Regards
