I gotta say, that name is really bad.
Are you sure you didn't mean Bowsprit?

Humpback is way better than Bowhead. Then there's also Narwhal. That's a whale.
Bowhead sounds like someone saying Towelface. It's like two words who never should have been together had a "thing" at EVE Vegas and now have to live with the consequences. |

It's like two words who never should have been together had a "thing" at EVE Vegas and now have to live with the consequences. The bow of a ship is the front. Thus a whale with a head that looks like the front of a ship certainly deserves the name "bowhead", especially when that head is used to break through layers of ice up to 60cm thick. So not "bow" the stringed arrow-launcher, but bow the front of a ship (or bow, the action performed in formal greetings or acceptance of applause)
That is correct, the front of the ship is called the Bow.
It still sounds silly. May as well call it Flipperside. Or Tailend. Or Bellybottom.
Actually, bellybottom sounds kinda cool. |

Doesn't make any sense.
You're missing the joke. |

CCP Rise wrote:Alright, we're talking about it here and think there's probably no good reason not to raise the HP some. Where do you guys think it needs to be to make say, three t2 fit BS, inefficient to gank?
And you're right about afk travel vs active travel, switching to agility to support align time sounds good to me.
This little comment is kind of eye opening. I mean, everyone knows the Devs like to cater to hisec players. But you really want to balance something so that people ganking it wont make any money?
If you really want to make it unprofitable, then don't let it drop anything. There. |

You are correct, the ganker is not responsible for that. What they are responsible for is pulling the trigger. Or are you telling me that victim blaming suddenly became a valid argument and that you believe such things like women are responsible for sexual assault because they didn't dress appropriately?
Hiding behind **** victims because you're afraid of getting ganked in a video game.
That's a whole new low. |

Actually it's the gankers here that have been arguing for "entitlement" i.e. their entitlement to use a bunch of cheap dessies to take down a Billion+ freighter and its goods. You don't see any problems but many of us do i.e. it's pretty straightforward these days to take down a freighter in Uedama by a group of cheap dessies. In fact, there's not much of a challenge taking down a defenseless ship in hi-sec, and I often wonder if the griefers have anything more challenging in life to do. But hey, not my cup of tea.
You just said "I've never done this activity, but I will tell you all about this activity as if i've ever done it" |

Incursion ships die too. Freighters die. Sure titans die - but extremely rarely, and almost always due to gross stupidity. With triage carrier support, they virtually NEVER die. And that's fine. The game doesn't require every ship to be at significant risk of dying whenever it flies. So if Goonswarm titans can mosey around Deklein and NEVER die...that's fine for the game. Same thing if Bowheads would be able to mosey around highsec and NEVER die, the game would be perfectly fine. In no way does Eve require ships to constantly be at risk.
Yes, ships with large EHP buffers supported by triage carriers are nearly unkillable.
That shows more about triage carrier's rep ability than it does anything else. |

That's a rather bad article, Griefing is a bannable offence and is very much not what was described in that site.
Again all true. But given that the distinction between pirate and griefer can be rather grey and confusing to new players, there is a reason that Eve has the rep it does.
Gotta say that you claiming to be on the side of Right on Eve's reputation is pretty laffo considering some things you've posted in the past. |

Oh, I never claimed to be on the side of "Right".
You did not literally type those words, no. But you did say that Eve has a "bad reputation". And you are suggesting things to fix this "bad reputation".
The opposite of Bad, is Good. Or Right. |

Lol, If you think that my suggestion that criminals that gank permanently in high sec should have blinky status permanently is going to fix more than a decade of Eve having a bad rep... well I'm not sure there's anything I could say that would make sense to you. My suggestions were merely to address an imbalance in the games mechanics. Nothing more, nothing less.
Sure thing, Bill "I'm only asking questions" O'Reily.
And I believe you mean a perceived imbalance of game mechanics. |

What do you mean last on topic argument? This guy's stance is that Eve has a bad reputation, and that his answers will fix that. One of them is to make this new ship ungankable, and to support his theory he points out specifically how none of the changes (Concord now untankable, responds faster, doesn't pay out insurance, tripling the EHP of the most ganked ships) have actually done anything because of reasons.
You should accept Valterra Craven on his word alone. |
