Epic game mechanics once again from fozzie.
And thus, the point of these changes is revealed.
Only took 7 pages, but this guy finally gets how this nerf is intended to work. |

Yes, you guys might not be able to warp down to a target at 30km and remained cloaked, and then pre-align your ships before decloaking and bombing.
The horror.
Or actually welcome to how every bombing run worked before the cloak changes. |

Those who argue that bombers are the counter to n+1 . . . really? The big groups are precluded from flying them and I wasn't told? Bombers are a way to make a fleet nervous and allows the little guy to punch above his weight, agreed. But do not try to tell me that the blobs cannot just as easily field the bombers
I've been bombed by a 100 man bomber fleet before. It sucks, we were low sig and armor tanked :(. |

That do a decent summation?

Let me elaborate on my previous post a bit: it's pretty goddam clear both from every page of this thread and the reddit thread that the overwhelming consensus of the player base is that isboxed bombers are the problem, doubly so because regular bombing fleets have been marginalized to near obscurity. This is, overwhelmingly, the position of the player base. On every forum, from Eve-O, to reddit, to failheap and on every news site, from TMC to EN24. Your job is to represent the community, not just to tell ccp what it wants to hear. Do your goddam job, or step aside for someone that will.
The CSM is doing our job, most of these changes were ideas that came directly from the CSM. In reinstatement of the "cloaked ships decloak each other" mechanic is a direct result from last year's winter summit conversation on fleet warfare balance.
Actually, half of these changes were listed in the minutes of last years winter summits I'm pretty sure. If not listed they were at least summarized or hinted at. |
