Niraia Nocturnal Romance Cynosural Field Theory. 381	Posted - 2015.12.28 16:07:38 - [1] - Quote I don't know what's with you guys adding stuff that reduces the amount of conflict in the game, seems to me like a good way to kill it, but since we're stuck with this un-EVE design philosophy, could you at least make MJD field generators require a little bit of skill? Either make it jump whoever the user has targeted at the time of activation, or jump whatever is in a narrow (5-10 degree) cone? Or, you know, add a counter <3 GÖÑ

No it's not dead but it can still happen and while you might realise what being in a BS imply, some people don't. There is a scan resolution threshold that a ship must pass for "well just scram it" to be an effective counter just like you need certain parameters for "just fly 6k away" to work also. The battleship is still left with less effective options than any other ship affected by the jump field generator to counter it. Kagura Nikon wrote: align on opposite direction and MJD back... You might get scrammed in your own spool-up. The destroyer will lock you fast enough that's for sure.

Of course due to lower numbers, it's rare to see more than 2-4 of them in a Fleetfight, however what are you doing if 1. your subcaps get MJDg away from your Triage? 2. your logis get MJDg away from your fleet? Wspace doesn't have that much Pilots to have anti-CD-Interceptors on standby, in fact there were people saying a single hic might do the job .... a single Jammgu disagreed (Failcons work great too!). in lower Numbers they're incredible difficult to counter, but also such an awesome toy to use against the blob :/ So yes in Theory in a perfect world you have scrambchains, anti-tackle on standby etc, but that's kinda difficult to setup in wspace, we use way too much neuting and ecm there to hunt our prey (unlike 00 with their high DPS in Fleets of >150), which is the counter to counter CDs, so now we have to bring the counter for CDs, together with the counter of hostiles counter to our counter?! starts recruiting again, sigh

What if there is more than one of them! What then! This is in response to part about CDs and solo bigger ships. The problem is not the CDs per se as they can't kill you solo. But the gang that follows them can. It means you have to counter it like you would with every blop. A) Bring something fast to kite them, this would also help to avoid being jumped or B) Bring support. Concerning the daisy chaining a newer corp mate in a navy maulus with double scram, would actually be able to hold two CDs, at least you can fight were you want to then. or C) watchlist pilots who does this and avoid them. It is not every gagn that runs with a CD so pick your fights or D) accept you chose to solo in a ship that is vulnerable solo, and go down like a hero smiling (because you know your courage will send you directly to Valhalla) when you inevitable explode Another point you touched on is the lack of skill required for CDs. I don't see how using the CD requires less skil than a normal blop, a normal blop with a griffin, falcon, keres etc.? Lets be honest in EVE a lot of the group pvp is low skill based, which is also fine. Instead of being annoyed you can't solo a gang with a CD, think about what shenanigangs you could do with it.

Either make it jump whoever the user has targeted at the time of activation, or jump whatever is in a narrow (5-10 degree) cone? Or, you know, add a counter <3 what happened to your HAC/lachesis/T3 support? A HAC/Lachesis/T3/HIC cannot lock and scram a command destroyer doing its MJD from 105km away bringing a 2nd command destroyer that lands on you with 1s left on its timer. I do not have 105km scrams. I also dont have the alpha in my small gangs to kill a 25-30k EHP ship with a small sig within 5 seconds at 105km. 5 Seconds is not long when you factor in you need to spot the ship on overview, lock it, broadcast and kill its EHP all within 5s. Also if someone drops several command destroyers we cant lock and scram them all perfectly, we are not supercomputers that have the ability to make sure we have all scrammed different guys within 5s. There is a very high chance we will miss one and this is all that is needed. We have used scram chains within our fleet, but as this means we are all scramming each other, we are giving up ALOT of mid slots to counter one ship that the enemy can field. No other ship has this power. Also the scram chain can easily be broken by neuts and jams, so its a fairly crap counter in my opinion. The only counter i have currently which actually works is for every ship in my fleets to drop a cyno. Which is ridiculous. So, we can drop cynos and anchor ourselves in place, only fly fast nano kiting ships or fly 100% capital gangs.

Locking a destroyer and activating a module on it under 6 seconds is not small feat for a battleship... Is the concept of 'bring support' dead then? With diminishing returns on fleets appearing soon, certainly seems that way I'm not syaing the idea of bringing support is dead, but I think we might see some more solo BS soon whether that's good or bad, i don't know so if you use solo bs then how command destroyer can prevent you soloing? or did you ment that you can not deagro anymore and run like little girls do?

Not sure, I was kinda drunk when I posted that but I think I read something about larger fleets being penalised with diminishing returns on greater numbers. I can't remember where I saw it though or if I understood it correctly. Oh god.

Having a handful of people to agree on how to proceed is much easier than telling 3485702566563815 people to press FONE at the same time on the same target - wait what are we shooting again??? No matter, it's toast now.. Eve Minions is recruiting. Learn from about pvp, learn about ships and how to fly them correctly. Small gang and solo action in high, low and nullsec and w-space alike. We will teach you everything you need and want to know.

No it's not dead but it can still happen and while you might realise what being in a BS imply, some people don't. There is a scan resolution threshold that a ship must pass for "well just scram it" to be an effective counter just like you need certain parameters for "just fly 6k away" to work also. The battleship is still left with less effective options than any other ship affected by the jump field generator to counter it. Kagura Nikon wrote: align on opposite direction and MJD back... You might get scrammed in your own spool-up. The destroyer will lock you fast enough that's for sure. If its a group fight some will escape, the destroyer will not scram several. If it is 1v1.. a Battleship with a half a brain can force a CD to its knees... Having a counters does nto mean somethign that works 100% of time, that would be to make the ship useles.. "If brute force does not solve your problem.... then you are surely not using enough!"
Serendipity Lost Repo Industries 1727	Posted - 2015.12.30 15:18:36 - [49] - Quote These jump bubble ships are a lot of fun. Three thumbs up. Instead of debating their tweeks and merits - go buy one, fit it out and do something unfair with it. I did a lot of "UGH" during this ship class' spool up to introduction. I was not pleased with the idea or with all the possible evil they could initiate. I WAS WRONG!!!! All I can say about these ships is "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" TL/DR WEEEEEEEEEEEEE
