On that day, I shall have my mop and bucket ready to collect the flood of tears from "elite solo pvp'ers" who are trash without their little friend. Or two - give my regards to CAANON.

Do you even realise that you guys only discuss of OGBs in low sec ? Do you even realise that in null they are just fine and the only way for small gangs to compete with home defense blob?

So ok maybe OBG are worse than aids in low sec, i don't know, i don't play there and i hate that place.

But if bringing them on grid is the way to fix them in lowsec, it totaly fucks up null secs small gangs.
I'll just copy paste here what i already said somewhere else.
I you don't speak french just use google traduction or anything, it's 2AM and i'm to lazy to traduce sry

You realise that people cry more about being perma jammed than they do when they lose to someone who is boosted?

Interestingly enough, I just resubbed my alt account. Granted she's got CS 5 and max links, but she also has logi 5, Cal/Gal BS 5, Recon 5, and can sit in a Cal/Gal Carrier. I won't be so upset with links moving on grid.

Now, just need to talk to the Chinese government and explain to them why they need to open up their interwebs because dual boxing here is just asking for insta-DC's all day, everyday

Wow, what a thread. OGB are a horribly abused mechanic, however moving them on-grid is not a fix. All this will do is encourage the larger side in fleet fights and raise the bar to fighting to "if I cannot alpha a linked, boosted, CS off the field, I cannot fight". If one side doesn't meet this criteria, there will be no fights because this means the side that can alpha a CS (the more powerful side) gets to use links while the other side does not. This tips the balance of power even more towards the larger fleet.

What we have today is FAR better as the barrier to entry to get a cloaky T3 booster is fairly low. If CCP doesn't like the way links work, they should just flat out delete them from the game. Moving them on-grid with no other changes is a knee-jerk reaction that is actually worse than what we have now.

Honestly you are whining more than just about anyone I know. If you are willing to back up that whine I have a proposal.

Ten arranged 1 v 1 fights between you and me. You pick the hull classes you want to fight with. I will place 1 billion isk on it that I win 7 or more of our fights.

My only ground rules are:
1) no links and we must be in in the same fleet with just us two
2) we use a Gall Mill controlled station system so you can reship
3) T2 and meta fittings only...no faction, ded, or officer
4) no implants because I will pod you
5) BS hulls and down
6) we each must front the 1 billion to be held by a 3rd party before the first fight begins
7) spectators welcome as long as they don't interfere....interference means the fight is voided and does not count toward the 10


What say you?

"here have some 30% blanket stat boost cos you were so good at this game that you got an alt".

and in a fleet of 251 your links have a apparent overpowered 750% investment.


It's not on grid or off grid that was the problems but we will have to see what CCP are doing with all the inbound changes to decide whether they are getting some balance.

As "on grid" means many many kilometres, probing will still be required. LOL at all the whine complaining about whine.

The real balancing that is required will be missed, as usual. So T3C boosters in low sec will continue to only die from silly mistakes (sorry Thanatos but that is what I think).

. Brawling is for chumps.
