If you have solutions, post em. If not, you aint offering much except uninspired trolling that doesnt even antagonize, rather just bores.

One of the answers is to force the attacker to commit to attacking, remove entosis links from anything smaller than a cruiser.

Is this another grrrceptors forum CTA? Did goons already finish the mining and ratting CTAs they had for raising their indices?

I agree. Context of your response here is odd, but nonetheless, as I spent some time delineating in another thread, which I submit here for your consideration: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=5973034#post5973034
Quote:Ive come around to agreeing the Entosis module needs changing. Simplest solution is hard ship class restrictions, second are PG/ CPU/skill restrictions, third and most complicated is a new Entosis specific range of ships, fourth an aggregate of all the above where the efficacy of the link is dependant with all the above.
Parallel changes would be requiring more (numerous and/or efficient) links as a threshold to surpass equivalence to the defence index.
I dont think the interceptor ship class was ever designed or intended for this purpose, with its specific peculiarities. Its arguable whether this is now as intended, because its expected CCP was readily informed by the community beforehand this would happen, but went ahead with it anyways.
One of the stated goals, was making it possible for just about anyone to conflict sov. Inline with this, it means a single player can now challenge sov. Though the intent is interesting, in practice I think its a bit unfair and lowers the bar too far in terms of commitment. It enables any single independant player too far considering how many people that disables in the system in question. The "trolling" aspect comes into effect here, when one player can disrupt the equilibrium of a larger group, with little to no risk to himself. (Which concretely represents what trolling is in any community).
I dont think 1 ship should be enough to do this, unless as in option 3, its a specific Entosis ship class, or as in options 1-2 the ship class is reasonably vulnerable in its invasion attempt. Especially not in a single class of ship which really already has other design specific functions (interceptor) and is effectively immune to reprisal.
The core irony here being that its exactly the interceptor class itself which should be ideal for engaging an Entosing aggressor, rather than vice versa as is now the case. Enganging and tackling an aggressor is what an interceptor does. Its a paradox that an interceptor is in and of itself now effectively un-interceptable as an entosis link.
Ideally, Id like to see a range of Entosis specific class ships, which then form the foothold and "flag carriers" of an invasion attempt, with all the peculiar, diverse and specific ship traits for each race alongside that. This ofc is time consuming, expensive and rife with balance issues. So CCP, expediently, instead went with a generalisation of the module. But this has resulted, as I tried to outline above, in a perversion and abberation of the interceptor classes existing capacity and function (whether intended or not).
See what I mean?
Opinions, bias, enlightened self-interest aside, it just doesnt make sense on an objective level, that a ship class designed for intercepting can now utilise those same capacities to be uninterceptable (except as to force it off), while doing something (Entosing) that has nothing to do with its intercepting impetus."

How is this an answer? If pilots can't bypass gatecamps because their ship is too big you'll be able to protect hundreds of systems 99% of the time with one gatecamp.
He're another answer, stop trying to control everything and unblue some people.

At least they would be putting 400M into attempting to get SOV then.
How about there actually be space where a group can grow large enough to challenge Goons?

That's got nothing to do with the space. As examples: Delve and Fountain are two of the most wealthy regions in the game. What happens to everyone who lives there, even those who have plenty of time to grow up? They get too big for their panties, get fat off the sov riches, challenge The Imperium (CFC at that time) and get curbstomped back into irrelevance. Not to be a bit on the :smugdog: side, since I am relatively new to The Imperium, but goddamn, what's it going to take? That's a serious question. |

Oh come on now. If you want fights and more people in null, you don't make the entry point T3 cruisers that cause skill loss on death.

You assume people are gatecamping at all. Frankly, even if we were what exactly is wrong about having to fight your way through small gangs of bad pilots to attack a system?
The whole point of this new sov is to get us fighting and trollcepters are the exact opposite of that goal.

Confirmed no one gatecamps in 0.0 ever...
Just the top kill systems in 0.0 happen to be null/empire gateway systems. But I am sure it is just massive capital fights happening over all that prime real estate... that of course is never camped.

Made no claims as to whom was camping said gates.
You simply made the claim that "people" weren't
And while most would agree that Goons don't quite qualify as "people", you overreached and generalized to make a completely indefensible claim. |

What's the answer to a gatecamp? FRIENDS! Preferably in BLOPS(Don't do it too often or else you might get counter-dropped). No friends? Too bad the other side wins because they commited more pilots and time than you!
No one ever said taking sov was easy from a group of organized people.

No one ever said taking sov was easy from a group of organized people. It should be, if not we need more sov lasers and fast-aligning, fast-warpspeed, interdiction-nullified platforms for them
EDIT: Actually just go around, in your fast-aligning, fast-warpseed, interdiction-nullfied sovlaser platform it should be easy, though getting through ec- isn't that hard anyway as your platform should be a fast-aligning, fast-warpseed, interdiction-nullfied one

Generally the only gatecamps to be found in our space are in ec- and even then its only around 2-5 ships flown by other people hostile to us. Saying you cant get cruisers into our space is an outright lie.

Now you are going to fabricate a story that I claimed Cruisers couldn't get through your space?
The only thing I am doing here is pointing out how absolutely absurd your post was, and now I get to point out how you are a liar as well.

Great vid. I really enjoyed that.
Didnt completely understand a great deal of the commentary, due to being terrible at pvp, but it taught me a great deal about advanced pvp techniques and concerns I had never considered.
Its a bit dated, but isnt this quite a strong case for trollceptors actually having a place as they are now in EVE?
He's not using Entosis for sov per se, but rather to entice a fight from the occupants. Sure he picks his fights carefully, and there isnt much stopping him from running if necessary, but he seems to be having a ball and is creating content for himself and the defense occupants.
