If you have a booster (Orca or Rorq) sitting in POS you can warp to them.

The booster would be on the outside of the POS shield though, so it would be kindof dangerous to warp your no-propmod mining ships there.
Unless your POS has teeth that is, in which case it's less dangerous but still a risk.

From what I have heard boosts, inc mining, will soon be on-grid, no?

Good luck getting re-elected.

My point is that "Warping yourself or warping to Wwwww's in fleet" is not a replacement for fleet warp, as it does not synchronize the arrival of your ships. It's so unhelpful for the task that I'm grinning at the absurdity of him suggesting it.

Funny how CCP Larrikin mentioned Corbexx by name in post #104 as if he's defending him. (maybe CCP Larrikin is actually GSF Larrikin)

the same rhetoric was vomited when Phoebe was announced. The game is better and people didn't run out and buy more accounts.

What you need is a bandaid for a few hedge cases of large fleet encounters, and you instead order a brain surgery.

This change would be horrible. You should encourage the smashing of fleets onto each other more; half the problem of big fleet fights is the ease of disengagement because every damn thing out there worth flying doesn't brawl. Higher body count encounters where fleets can't just wisp away from each other easily is a GOOD THING, and this change more or less helps fleets be really picky about engagements. It continually amazes me how little ISK in ships is lost in fights in null compared to what is fielded; the meta does enough work to keep fleets alive, why would you exacerbate this more and take one of the few tools that lets kiting fleets be punished?

Fix bombers separately. Jesus.

+1 this is a excellent change that will help to open up combat/fleet tactics. I supported and pushed hard for this.

You should try to get on your own command comms sometime ;)

Nope. Not gonna happen. Too much at risk.

Also, Ken, I'm sorry you had to leave the TGRAD cause goons were being such a **** cause they liked Wusti more. Loved your PL application material though.

CCP, you are nerfing competent FCs by directly attacking the impact of their player skills. All this does is equal the playing field between the great FCs and the mediocre FCs. In effect, it dumbs the game down, and caters to the unskilled players getting smeared by the truly talented players. And all while masquerading as a change that will get fleet members more involved in fights.





Why slow down the game? Who was so mad at getting outplayed that they lobbied this ridiculous change through? Whose ego is being catered to with this change? Whoever you are, HTFU you whiny space nerd. Those who are best at playing the game SHOULD win.

I've said the same thing in the past. When gameplay is this deep, you begin to lose touch as a developer. At the same time it's odd that EVE has managed to iterate on itself so little.
