I really don't see what the issue with one ship being better at some tasks than others is. Would you have come back to post here if a assault frigate had jumped through a gate you were perched on and you one shot him? Arty tornados are a pretty binary ship to choose for pvp- they either let you win in certain situations or they lose, but what they do they do very, very well and with specialization comes drawbacks, which points back to the binary nature of the arty tornado.
In any event I don't think that the changes you propose would not help encourage fights; they'd probably make it easier for people to avoid them. I think that encouraging fights really boils down to getting people that want to fight to get together and there isn't a lot that CCP can do that they haven't already done on this front. They've already added what basically amounts to a thunderdome for WH players, increased the number of K-K wormholes, given us t3 destroyers with a cpu reduction to scan probe launchers, reduced the ability of powerblocks to escalate with capitals, improved scanning, added rewards for lowsec players, improved the expedition system, improved the smaller subcaps to the point where theres a reason to fly almost all of them, and given us industry improvements allowing us to produce the ships we love to blow up.
Everything else boils down to metagaming and what people want out of their sandbox experience. People who want to fight do, and create organizations based on it. RvB is a good example of this. Brave newbies moved to nullsec and people have flocked to catch to help them or blow them up. CODE and highsec wardec corps are shaking things up in high, E-Uni still has a fantastic presense, NC. and BL have been trying to poke the bear with CFC. If you want to fight, find a group of like minded people and just do it.
I'm not trying to say everything is balanced or perfect, there are some problems out there, but you can still go out and have fun right now without imposing artificial systems on players. |
