Querns GBS Logistics and Fives Support Goonswarm Federation 1012	Posted - 2014.11.14 17:20:30 - [1442] - Quote The disconnect here is that the calls for seven digit EHP and other forms of invincibility assume a position where attempting to evade or out-think the gankers in question is never broached. In a pure PvP game such as Eve: Online, you must keep death in mind at all times. There is no safety. You are prey at all times until you choose to become a predator, and even then you're only not prey if you are at the top of your game.

By far the most use these ships will see will be outside of high sec where the demand for moving large numbers of fitted ships is very high. Okay Baltec, you know i enjoy your usual sense of crazy, and you have given me some of your nut ball fits when i asked nicely. But if i might be so bold, How do you know what they were thinking? I assume the person who typed the post, and presumably had some impact on the design of the ship, might know what he was thinking when he typed the text, and maybe actually remembered what the internal discussions were like. I should expect Rise to have a functional memory at the very least...

Funny how in nullsec they have these ships called "titans" that are unkillable by pretty much anything except other titans and dreads. And when they are part of a large fleet with triage carriers, run by lets just say, Goonswarm Federation, they are virtually unkillable at all. So we already have virtually invincible ships in nullsec, and the game somehow seems to be surviving. If incursion runners get a very tough to gank ship in highsec (replicating the virtual impossibility of ganking cloak + mwd + travel fit incursion battletships currently), that seems unlikely to somehow break the game.

I should buy an Ishtar.

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.

Daichi Yamato Xero Security and Technologies 1989	Posted - 2014.11.14 17:33:29 - [1452] - Quote its not just incursion runners that are going to be using these. this makes moving assembled ships easier for everyone. but it should not make it free and easy. if you want to load it up with everything at once, then accept some risk or get some help FFS. If you dislike risk and friends as much as veers, then sure, keep putting in the work cloaky-mwd-ing about. Ppl will use these, even if not every incursion runner will.

It was just to establish the fact that CCP visited hisec crime mechanics recently. You can argue that all you like about whether it is a nerf or not until you're blue in the face - it is not my point, as I've stated a few times now. Ok, so if the main point of your post was just to establish that CCP made changes to a system and didn't make everyone completely safe in the process, then why not just say that changes were made? What purpose does it serve to make statements that you can't back up with actual data to support your main point? I understand why you think this is just me arguing, but I'm honestly trying to show you that as it relates to ganking and the bowhead that there is still a problem even after those changes were made. Put another way, had those changes had any real affect then the amount of people in here asking for more HP on the bowhead would be drastically reduced. It would make no sense for someone to ask for a ship to be made safer to fly if the environment was already safe enough. The problem is that code/goons/etc have basically industrialized ganking. Put another way, the goons have a habit about discovering things that aren't balanced and abusing those mechanics in order to get CCP to change them. I'm not saying this is a bad thing, I see the ganking mechanics as no different. People are abusing game mechanics and its created a lot of frustration from enough people that its going to keep coming up until real changes happen. I don't agree with the mentality that hi sec should be %100 safe, but on the other hand I don't think people should be allowed to gank others to the degree in which they are currently. Very specific targeted attacks for hampering logistics is one thing, but to the degree that ganks occur now and the seemingly indiscriminate nature of the attacks suggest that this is not what is actually happening in practice.

There's no better way to express this. It's objective truth; no amount of wordsmithery will change this indisputable fact. Wrong. As has been pointed out repeatedly properly set up fleets with capital triage logi are essentially unkillable by weaker fleets. The fights are little more than one sided massacres. The titans of the stronger side have absolutely no risk of blowing up. And the yet the game survives - because there is no requirement that every time a ship undocks it faces material chance of destruction. Example - thousands of hours of flying and I have never lost an incursion battleship. Why? Because even a minimal level of precaution makes them virtually unkillable. Same for Goon titans in Deklein - even a minimal level of precaution and they are close to unkillable. This bowhead was created in response to repeated and frequent requests from incursion runners to be able to move multiple ships around highsec....they currently can be moved individually with essentially complete safety. This ship was created to meet that need - not to now create a new risk of freighter ganking similar to that faced in Uedama and Niarja.

Investing a month of training time? The bulk of the training time for the Bowhead is Advanced Spaceship Command 5, a skill which has significant overlap with Freighters, Jump Freighters, and is a gateway to all capital ships. Pretending that it's some sort of burden shouldered only by the Bowhead aspirant is disingenuous. Also, 1b is hardly a large amount of money. PLEX are a doghair from this value right now. And if you use a little bit of brainpower to limit your exposure, you can safely move around the universe while fearing no gank bogey man. As for use cases, here's some: Mercenaries transporting large numbers of ships-of-the-line to stage towards a new target. A common way for corporations and alliances to provide ships for their members is to pre-fit them and put them up on contracts. The Bowhead allows them to move the ships easily should the staging point for the corporation/alliance change. Consolidation of personal assets.

You get a 450k ehp tank with a very basic fit. This is 2.6 times larger than a cargo expanded obelisk and is 83k more ehp than a bulkhead fitted obelisk. If you are in the ship building business then it is going to be safer to transport your products in a bowhead than a t1 freighter.

Case in point: B-RB saw the death of 75 titans, despite significant numbers of triage and supercarriers supporting these titans. Titans just don't have the sort of invincibility that you think they do. You're talking about a thing whose domain knowledge you increasingly prove that you lack. For your own sake, please discontinue. You're making things up based on a story you've told yourself, and anyone with any real domain knowledge in the matter can instantly tell you're out of your element. Also, the game does not provide this difficulty to its players by dint of the existence of the hull GÇö-áit's the efforts of players that have made the difficulty increase. Trying to discount the hundreds of thousands of manhours of work that has gone into building our empire as mere inevitability is, frankly, insulting. You do not get to enjoy the fruits of our labors just because we've made them theoretically possible inside of your own myopic worldview. No ship currently enjoys invincibility-áGÇö not even the mighty titan. Bowheads do not get special treatment just because the one use case brought about by official communications was due to a certain group.
