Well, the Urobouros site does require at minimum what 40, 60 pilots to do at minimum influence? You can't tell me that is risk free, especially in nullsec. When was the last time you did an incursion? They are if anything risk free, especially in null sec. There's a reason that the big incursion groups offer an SRP. You still have to grind the influence down just to get the Mom to spawn from what I remember, and until you do, you are suffering from resistance, repping and damage penalties.
...
I thought people wanted more risk for their rewards. If want to go do pve with my shiny, and you want to pop me? Come get me. I'll make you work for it.
I never said incursions were unbalanced, I said doing them with carriers would be. Using a fleet of carriers to run them would be exponentially faster and safer. With carrier reps on field they aren't going to die. Not to mention cyno jammer constellation wide. Panther X wrote:
Let's address that issue directly;
How many low slots does a thanny have? Six. Ok lets fit one for ratting; Damage Control? Check, Race specific hardener? Check. Capital repper? Check. DDA? I'll take 2. Plus an i-stab...that leaves me with....oh wait. I can't fit a warp core stab now. So my fast warp? Not so fast. Wait I'm switching targets...where did that ceptor come...oh im warp scrambled. Oh great ok, mobile depot, mobile depot, ok lets put those warp stabs...oh crap here's his buddies.
On paper yes that sounds great, but not so great in practice.
A ceptor can't tackle a super but a hictor can. You don't hunt carriers or supers with one ship, you hunt them in gangs. If you are looking for small pvp leave the carrier alone, find an easier target.
Your argument doesn't address what is happening now with carriers and supers in anomolies, so why bother? Carriers and supers get tackled all the time in anoms.
I did say mobile depot did I not? *Checks own post* Yup, I did. Now let's address your bigotry directly. Let's fit for rating (The way that a smart person would, if he could do it with a carrier)
- Damage Control? Don't need it.
- Race specific hardener? Don't need that either.
- Capital Repper? Barely need that but throw it on just in case.
- DDA? Yea sure we can take 2 of those.
- Inertia Stabilizers for quick warp? Take 2 of those (Can now warp in 1 MWD cycle)
- Hyperspacial Accelertor? Oh we still have space for that wow.
- Mobile depot I can rep with a capital remote repair and 6 warp stabs in the cargo hold? Check
- Directional Scanner and Emergency Cyno Alt? Depends how smart you are I guess.
Looks like the armchair quarterback, whom lost his carrier, https://zkillboard.com/kill/31721166/ did not follow his own advice of using a mobile depot..... or have any understanding of its mechanics.... and limitations.... but he did forget to put on his DCU, as he does not think its needed, nor did he bother with having bulkheads and spare bulkhead rigs in his cargo. The DCU not only gives a bonus to shields and armor, it conveys a 60% bonus to STRUCTURE across the board, allowing the pilot to tank effectively 2x the damage more. Races specific hardeners? seriously, you think you can tank with your resists so low that a curse could give you a very bad day.... and your Istabs.... work real well (sarcasm) against a pilot that is bumping you.... oh, and you think your just going to sit still for the 60 seconds it takes for your MD to online? and remain in range of it?.... guess you forgot about that idiot who scrammed you, and is bumping you..... while calling for reinforcements...... oh... you thought you could simply jump?.... aw.... to bad, not enough cap to make the jump cause your to busy repping the damage that is still incoming while your in a site with no resists mods, your cap is way below 71% and then there is the nice and quiet guy sneaking in a quiet recon, whom spots you, and lights a cyno right underneath your hull while he points you. There are a thousand ways to die in a cap/supercap.... and if you ever get caught with your pants down with no tank and you don't even have the proper mods in cargo/fleethanger, don;t be surprised at the massive trolling you are in for. |
