Sensor boosted Maulus is like 3 mil bro. If it can damp an Orthrus, it can damp a Garmur.

No worries. I will agree that some of the boosters I've killed have had plenty of opportunities to cloak/move/use a different fit. Some of them though the mistake boils down to not seeing the Tornadoes move or the single pass of the combat probes before they are toast, not much of a mistake imo, just bad luck and/or trying to do to much.
Also, I've seen that the drop is crucially timed to probe and pounce as the engagement begins, when a pilots attention is at its most vulnerable to distraction. Do not completely reduce the difficulty it is to catch some links to dumb luck or lack of attention.

Hiding ones true strength is a critical tactic in any form of combat. What you are decrying as unfair because you have uncertainty about opponent strength is no different than any of the following:
Cyno ships bringing in the fleet
Un cloaking e-war
Keeping a combat Recon in a plex
Bait tanking the tackle and the pounding the **** out of someone with a fleet jumping in from next door
Faction mods
Implants
Drugs
Any ad all of those hide true strength. Should we then do away with them as well?
My opinion on various things has changed throughout the course of this thread. The result of good argument. I think we need to be fair to recognize the differences in the bonus each of these apply though and how effective they are -- or how many one can affect -- when brought on field.
Cyno pops, everyone can see it and warp to it. Even if it's limited, you have time to react to it.
Uncloaked e-war. Only in wormholes can they take you by surprise, but in known space you can only laugh it off. You have local and the information of how many pilots are in system. If one is missing and 'suddenly spaceships'! you can walk it off without too much hurt, telling yourself, Well that's where it was.
Recon in a plex. Same argument as above. You want to avoid this, open virgin plexes. These can surprise anyone by not coming up on dscan anymore anyway. Be vigilant.
Obvious bait tanking is often done with obvious ships that have high natural resists. If someone can pull it off with an unconventional fit, good on them. Trap well done. Local is again instrumental in knowing when something is usually a bait tackler. Timing is everything.
Faction mods drop. Pays for the trouble and the difficulty of the fight if you win and the loot fairy is kind. Mods are expensive. Only one ship can have any respective mod on.
Implants can be destroyed. Bring a smart bombing cruiser or high sensor tackle ready for when the enemy ejects or blows up. Can also only be used by a single ship. Implants are expensive.
Drugs have drawbacks. One or many or all of five side-effects completely lopsided the benefits. They are limited in their time for application and could become expensive when used frequently. And you must be one lucky bastard if you do not get hit with ANY side-effects on anything standard and above. The risk is leveled out. Single use, single pilot.
Links:
Equally affect 1 pilot to an entire wing of pilots at
no addition cost
no side-effect
a safe distance
a reusable and infinite amount of times until you make a mistake

Osoka's link is about making links spread by squad and not hierarchically trickle down to an entire wing, when you have skilled squad commanders. It's an interesting idea. It may be a solution, but you will only have five off grid boosters instead of one. It would be strange and I would rather see one ship boosting on-grid than encourage the already prevalent mindset that you must have additional accounts to be fully effective. Multiple accounts lead to burn out, imo.

lol.. Anchor on links!
Well, I just hope that they will add ...100) - 250 - 500 - 1000, etc. to grid warp selections.

I personally would love to see more command ships on the field. The MJD generator needs a slightly longer spool up time (1+ second for sure) and higher fitting PG to at least 20-25, imo.
Gangs, boosted or not, would probably turn a fight in their favor with more numbers anyway. Bring a rapier and increase your obit ranges to minimize the number of relocated pilots. Have more anchor pilots.

That's already in the game. It's called Alliance Tournament. It's not around all the time. It has a point value system and a limited number of participants. Prizes. Every year.

It was never meant to be realistic. Ever since the trial elder invasion of Amarr for their people, she the ever increasing friction between the Federation and State, Concord was stressed to allow an unofficial war by proxy through the capsuleers, as it has always since been. I used to ***** about sec hits and becoming a pirate, about my missing 2nd medal! and so looked into some back story to see wth is exactly going on and expected outcome of all this.
Well, it turns out everything is fine and the medal thing, our lack of official recognition, makes sense, along with the criminal status.
So, bludgeoning each other over and over within this intended arena (lowsec), is working as intended. Put as much effort or meaning into it as you want until CCP makes us more official with the ties we have with the sleeper tech Dusties.
