I have had several encounters via frig holes.
Example the first.
Example the second.
Now, that is after a good 2 months. Whee? Also there was a connection into a C5 we found where dudes were running cap escalations and literally gave no crap about a frig hole. This has happened twice, and yeah, i can see why they might be a bit confident about their ability to shrug off a horde of frigates with a triage Archon and 2 Moros. But there's ways and means, especially now with the new bombs.
So, we can see there is actually a way to kill people via frigate holes. Ergo, not useless. it just challenges you all to get out of your cruisers and #YOLO. Spend the time on PYFA or EFT, and look at what the onyx and Broadsword can achieve. Train the skills. Grind the ISK to afford the fits, spend the time to get them in your hole. They might sit around gathering dust, but then again, as above, if you don't actually have the skills and materials you might miss out bombing to death an escalation quad.
All of that said, I agree that these 25 new holes are stupid if it's only C6 W-R effects. It's like Fozzie is saying "helloo, i know that you know that i know that you've worked out that in a W-R frigates and dessies are ZOMG, so here's a playground for you."
Yeah, yeah, Fozzie. Genius level, as usual. *golf clap*
But, mate, it's one-dimensional. It's not challenging. We went through the whole frigate hole doctrine wargaming and PYFA-thon when we heard about the original frig hole connectors and the results are the same;
No efficient, effective and tanky logi frigates. Too weak, so ineffectual, not enough rep range, not enough resists, somewhat clunky to fit MWD's and reps. You can do a ***** logi Devoter, but it's far too slow and clunky and....yeah, no.
Destroyers are naff. I've resorted to secret and classified mechanisms to make them not naff. But even then, considering the place you can push them with enough madness and ISK and effort, and where the Enyo sits bog standard T2 fit...you struggle to justify Destroyers. Full stop.
T3 Tactical Destroyers will change this. But do you really need C6 W-R to make us want to take them in? I mean, the Amarr and Gallente ones, because #LOL if you think that anyone's going to put the Caldari one on the line in a C6 W-R.
Noobs won't bother. The only thing noobs do in wormholes these days is die to smartbombing Proteii and Lokis while hacking relic and data sites. After enough of them get podded and lose 250M Asteros and 250M implants, they'll stop. Why would they bother coming into a frig hole for a fight?
it is pointless. C6 W-R frig vs frig is something everyone will avoid. I know I will. I would only do frigs in a C6 W-R if it was dropping 80 Enyos on an escalation. Because then you are killing people and have an advantage. If it's even for you and your opponents, it comes down to preparedness and just plain luck with server pings. Get your sho off 28ms faster than the other guy, you win. WOW GUYS LETS DO THAT. No thanks, yours truly, Australian internet.
J's before K's.
Prolapse. Turning holes inside out with pew pew.
