Let me tell you about last night. Last night I was logged in to my home in lowsec that is factwar space, And I was having lots of fun chasing and being chased in my frig and destroyer ships. I would use my d-scan and see if facwar pilots was in one of the complex sites. I would then reship in to a ship that I could enter the site in and hope to have a fight. I was on my own and the only thing I had was my wits and skill at flying the ships I took. I was doing this all night. Sometime I would win, sometimes I had to run due to the target having friends that was coming to save the target (and that is cool). I was flying t1 frigs like Fed navy comets or Svipul or my wonderful hull tanked Eris. All the time I was solo. No links, I don't have link alt. Then about 11PM. I see that on one of the stations is a Damnation just idle on the undock. And then I knew my fun was over. Why? Becasue now all my targets can scram/web me before I can scram/web them. They can do it for longer ranges. Now all my skill in flying means jack ****. My weapons are now 50% less effective to any targets I now go for as they have a lower sig radius. Now all my targets are so much faster than me. I will not be able to catch them or out run them. Oh and I can not go and kill the links. As there is no why I can kill a Damnation before it docks. Oh and have to tank the gate guns too. So guess what I did. I LOGGED OFF. I QUIT PLAYING because now the locals have OFF GRID BOOSTING. All my my skill at flying spaceships was in one swoop just wiped away because now they have an off grid booster.

5 years ago CCP Soundwave said it was going to be removed (or words to that effect). 5 DAM YEARS. CCP WHY YOU SO DAM SLOW?

EDIT., As some have said. There is no point bitaching about it unless you can fix it. Well I can't fix it. But I can give "BAND AID" style ideas.

Step one = add a weapons activation timer for using link module. This will force OFF GRID BOOSTING ships to go back to using safe spots. or sitting on a POS or haven forbid, STAY WITH THE FLEET.
Step two = Change the rig calibration stats for the t2 Gravity Capacitor Upgrade II rig. Make it so that a CovOps ship can fit 2 of them.

Why do I wish to change to the above? Well right now. Only a fool puts his t3 links in a safe spot in Lowsec or hisec (W-Space has no gates or stations). The safest place to put your links is on a station or a gate. In LowSec this is a very big issue as if you wish to shoot the OFF GRID BOOSTER ship. You will in 99% of cases have to go and tank the gate/station guns. And the OFF GRID BOOSTER can just dock or jump gate at any time it likes. Now in lowsec. Most PVP is done at the Frig Dessy and cruiser level. And Gate guns will eat you in the end if you have no logi. If I am going to have to put up with fighting links all the time, I want a way to kill them. Right now they can just dock or jump and run away. Can't stop them.

So now if they have a they have weapons activation timer for using link module. They can't just sit on gates. They will go back to POS or safe spots. And if they are in a safe spot. I have a chance of killing them. All be it a ******* very low one. You see, I still need to spend 3bil of ISK on Virtue implants. Anybody that tells you you don't need implants to scan down a prober fit OFF GRID BOOSTING t3 that has the right ECCM implants and ECCM mods fitted is telling you lies. You still need Virtues.

So there is my BAND AID FIXES. How hard is that I wonder?
