Evelgrivion Calamitous-Intent Feign Disorder 351	Posted - 2015.09.11 20:03:50 - [1] - Quote You guys realize that the entire reason Interceptors came to dominate the Entosis meta was their combination of survivability and expandability, right? They would never have enjoyed the level of popularity they achieved if fitting and using Entosis links wasn't an unqualified de-buff in every respect.

That their ability to take sov is being written out is the removal of the cherry on the cake, but they're still dumb and broken. So your entire complaint is that gatecamps don't work against them, which meant that you couldn't dominate a constellation and prevent all entosis from taking place by holding onto the first choke point you come across with one big blob? The subsequent skirmish warfare that Entosis contests required were my favorite thing about the new sov system. Granted, you can still do the same thing by using a Titan bridge, but the threshold for bypassing gatecamps is going up.

MOA would come along in 15 cormorants and try to catch stragglers. The problem with those seeking to harass the CFC is that there are no peer adversaries with the throw weight to seriously contest you, which is probably why you've never seen anything more than reinforcement timers that go uncontested. I can't imagine it's any fun, but on the plus side, uncontested timers will fix themselves soon.

You couldn't find anyone who could catch them?

It was honestly starting to feel too big thanks to the jump fatigue changes. Dialing down the impacts of fatigue right now is, imo, a step in the right direction.

Why would you use Tech 3s for Entosis? Any Entosis ship caught during the module cycle is basically doomed.

Why would you use Tech 3s for Entosis? Any Entosis ship caught during the module cycle is basically doomed. Alone, sure. You may need to bring a support fleet, or ante up to T2 entosis links to limit your exposure. This is a direction that is highly favorable to Goonswarm's established modus operendi; bring as big of a death ball as possible and take advantage of superior throw weight to ensure that each objective is achieved. If that's the direction Entosis is going to go, we might as well just throw the sov wands out completely and just go back to Dominion or POS Sov. If someone doesn't have the CFC's mass, skirmish warfare is the only viable option.
