A quick question: should I lose the first finals match and there will be another one, is the 2nd one going to be with frigate hulls as well? |

Yes. If you lose match "I" you will fight again in match "J".
If anyone else loses in "I" its over.

I was on around the agree time and did see him on. It's rather hard to get proper matches set up, especially if you're working.
Generally how I've been trying to set things with my matches is agree to a time to be on at and going from there. But I think Lodestone has been preoccupied by priorities.
Alas, Such is life.
EDIT: Also as a note, I post on the forums a lot, but sometimes I'll post really quick without even logging on. So just because I poke around on the forums doesn't mean I'm active ingame.

Yeah, RL comes first. Just trying to get things moving.
This is likely going to be the last match I host on here. Really thinking of taking an evecation for a few months.

Eh, I feel really bad to have held up our thunderdome at this critical point. When I first signed up I had plenty of spare time, but things have changed a bit since then.
I'm back on track, so we can get this done today or tomorrow (or Friday).
See you on the battlefield Valkin :D |

This was a fight between two of the tankiest BCs of all time. It lasted both longer and shorter than I thought it would. I'll upload the video here in a few hours from now.
I used to believe the drake was a lie, but maybe it had its moment of truth today. |

Losing those nos' and switching an LASB for an XLASB would have effectively doubled your tank. Capless weapons and capless tank doesnt need the nos'.

I'm looking forward to the video.
Also, I'd like to point out that the long-awaited and long-overdue Battlecruiser buffage has just been announced over in F&I. Good lord, I'm thinking we should have a special edition CBC round once they've been released....

Should run a open ended double elimination starting with frigates then working up to battleships, 2 and 3 rounds should be a ccruiser varient of each other 2 nd round being t1 cruiser only the 3rd bringing out the t2 side, battlecruirs in the semi finals and battleships for the main event, its how I'd do it... But its not my show. |

Personally, I have found the cruiser fights seem to have been the most entertaining. They're a good mix of durability, speed, and variety, but I think we should definitely find ways to incorporate different hull sizes.

Awesome. Really looking forward to the vid.

Lodestone, let me know when you are available. I am good all weekend or any time after next Thursday.

Next Thursday would be ideal, if its not too long. I'll also make the necessary preparations so there will be no waiting on me again after that.
Maybe we should set the finish date of this thunderdome to next weekend, if that's okay with everyone.
(alternatively, if people have their hearts set on thunderdome ending this weekend, i'll resign so that's possible.) |

Nah. You have earned your spot. We will finish when we finish.

Gf indeed! I'll post the vid here as soon as I finish processing it. Kill I was really worried about this fight, since the Raven has many predators. It has a very solid tank when not under neut pressure though.
I had wanted to bring a scorpion too, but got dissuaded by its dps. Most active tanked Battleships I've seen (with boosters/shiny mods) take at least 1k dps to break, so I found myself forced into a raven. Props to Leto for coming up with the depot idea though. When I saw it appear I was confused, but after I was permajammed I understood why |

Lets close up this thunderdome in style.
And I was hoping you didn't bring auto targeter missiles. But you did.
Boom.

Is there a way to dislike posts? If there was I really would dislike this rookie ship idea.
Not everyone has a 300mil edition rookie ship they've been waiting to use, and from the crafting I've done so far it seems like the limited edition rookie ships are incredible improvements over the T1s. They are so much better in every respect. (I'm willing to retract this statement if someone wants to step up and prove me wrong)
Of course its possible to lose in one, but clearly the advantage goes to the person(s) who are willing to shell out 300mil on a rookie ship in this bracket. A quick comparison between the taipan vs the ibis, or the violator vs the velator, clearly shows the advantage the limited edition has over the T1. 50% more primary slots, plus massive utility and damage bonuses make faction rookie ships clearly the way to go. Since frigate duels like these end rather fast(usually), the person with 50% more dps/tank from their faction rookie ship is very likely to win unless mistakes are made.
I don't mean to complain because I normally reject the notion that pvp (especially this thunderdome) is pay to win. Eve is a marvelously balanced game and its awesome to see cheap ships beat shinier ones. I don't think that balance exists, or was intended to exist with the special edition ships. I would have mentioned this earlier, but I wasn't considering this bracket since I assumed I would be knocked out long ago.
Anyway, felt I would throw out these thoughts before the match to prevent the possible "hes butthurt he lost". In the name of providing content I'll gladly continue, just wanting to know if anyone else had considered these implications of a rookie ship duel.
tl;dr grr I would prefer to spend 300mil on a more practical endeavor. |
