well ok kublai, if solopwnmobiles are indeed ok, then plz ccp... can we have some cheaper ones thx.
to everyone else who keeps posting about, blah mofo ship is 25bill thats the cost of the fleet needed to take it down... you really think that the value of a ship should dictate the force needed to take it down ?. If so, then I want 500k shield on my rasttlesnake plz. thx

It's not CCP dictating the price, it's the players who run the markets and mineral prices, since you seem to agree that balancing is such a dull thing at last though, perhaps this could be the last of these threads :)

Tbh kublai your viewpoint is just a little too comfortable to be debating this.
You're arguing it so fervently because you want your sensor boosted monster to continue ganking battleships by the hundreds at some low-sec chokepoint. If you'd step away from the bias just a little you may realise that there is no hope of removing said ship from that gate unless it chooses to leave.
That ship, when in empire goes where it pleases, kill what it pleases and there is no price to pay. Lost fighters? Hah! This game isn't about material loss its about overcoming your opponent and basking in the knwledge that you've set about their demise. That ship ignores these points, goes where it wants, does what it pleases and doesn't pay the price.
It has to change.

I am not interested in this discussion, but I need to say that TDG does not use a mothership in combat and we haven't been operating in low sec for months. So Kublai must have other motivations to speak against the desired nerf.

You fail in this thread because you want things balanced with the "trophy" momship killmail as the standard.
It is NOT the appropriate standard for reasons stated in this thread many times.
In fact, NOTHING has to change. Ask MC or MM if they think things should change. Were their recent fights involving moms lacking in any way? Indeed it was the MC mom that had to leave the field and jump out if memory serves after losing two regular carriers. Fleeing the field is hardly the role of the overpowered zomg pwnmobile.

Thats the problem the Mother Ship can ALWAYS take off when things go unfavorably for them in low sec space because dictor bubbles aren't allowed 0.0 is different

Edited by: Moondancee on 03/02/2007 22:55:18 its funny your complaining about this so much, i camp with miz, and i can tell you right now, a mothership can NOT "solopwn" inless your retarded and sit there going "oooooooooooo ahhhhhhhhhhh" in your BS for 12+ seconds, hes not going to lock you, he gets the kills, becuase us with smaller, faster ships, get the lock/scram so... tbh, if you die to a mothership in lowsec, your just stupid, i think he said before he has ALMOST 140? scan res...with 2 sensor boosters, i think there officer boosters, but i cant say if they are 100%, never asked... ya... not locking anything down fast solo in that.. so your "solopwn mobial" statement is horidly wrong, "omg we cant kill it becuase dicters cant drop a bubble in lowsec" and guese waht? 10km officer smart bombs= dicter bubble goes pop in 0.0, cant catch it there, theres a reason why 90% of the mothership/titen pilots fit 10km officer smartbombs

So in all honesty you completely support the role a mothership plays in low-sec?
Some people sit on a low sec gate all day killing ship after ship after ship without having to worry at all, and this is going to become more and more common. If you think 25 billion isk should buy you that luxury than I say you're the one "blinded to reason".
Wake up.

The fight took place in 0.0, seleene damn near died to bumping and no dictor bubble was ever named even a REMOTE solution to destroy this ship.
How in the hell do you people manage to get owned by MS's all the time?
I utterly fail to see how this is different from tillers style of play with his "CCP BETTER permit me to kill everything that moves trough my gate, and damn them to hell and cinders should they make this risky for me and my battleship crew!"
Oh but, you can kill tillers Raven.
How many Ravens would 25billion ISK + what you lose in fighters buy you though...that's alot of ravens right there, i'd wager you could maintain it on fighter losses alone.

Well tiller, since you admittely don't actually argue what I say, rather than arguing my nick, i'll ignore you as i'm debating something here, when you wanto utalize actuall arguments and read before replying and all that stuff, then perhaps we can talk.
Until then, I suggest you stop spamming posts.

Kublai, you must have realized by now that most of the people in this forum know that you flame alot, and throw alot of insults mixed with hostility in your posts.
And most of them take what you say with a grain of salt. Or is this phenomenon not sinking into your head yet?

So is there a reason presented in this thread that says why you shouldn't be able to scramble an MS aside from the "You can kill its fighters" argument. Because I mean sure you can throw out money figures and all but think about it proportionately
Going to use gallente ships for this example
Vexor you can kill its drones and scramble (not that expensive of a ship and maybe 14 mill in drones)
Ishkur 20 mill + Drones and it results in the kill its drones scramble it and let it die
Dominix 60 mill + Drones resulting in kill the drones and watch it die
Ishtar 200 mill + Drones still resulting in kill the drones (a lot more drones) and watch it die
Thantanos 1-2 billion + Fighters but the same rules apply
Nyx 14 - 30 billion + Fighters and officer mods but the rules change.
The price of invulnerability is that cheap? (as in invulnerability should be priceless)
I have never seen or fought a mother ship but I still don't get what was the theory behind making what was designed as a support ship able to run away all the time if that is the case make the Guardian, Onieros, Scimitar, and Basilisk immune to warp scrambling

I have to agree that there should be a nerfbat coming down the line for motherships.
Seems to me that this is just a variation of the warp core stabilizer debate which was already resolved with Revelations. The problem was pilots fitting stabs and then fleeing during a fight. After the nerf pilots now have to make a choice. Either fit to fight or fit to run. However the mothership seems to have been overlooked in this regard as in low sec it can both fight and then flee at the same time. This seems completely contrary to the reasoning behind the stab nerf so I believe it needs to be addressed.

Tiller, if my Nyx is a solopwnmobile, as you say it is...
Why then did it FAIL to catch an OCTOBER SNOW indy just 2 days ago? (we all know it wasnt because the indy was multi WCS/nano fitted, because October Snow are the leet and surley dont need to stoop to fitting WCS/nanos...)
No, it was infact because at the time I had NO support and at such times my 25 billion ISK ship is good for F all.
I rely upon the lads and ladies who hunt with me in order to get any kills.
Allow interdictors into low sec. PLEASE. My 10k officer smartbombs remove that threat and then one of my gang can launch spehere to get US even more kills!
INTERDICTORS in low sec 4tw !

Its a simple question of balance. The fact a Mothership can enter Low Sec means there should be a way to remove it. If there is no way to remove it (& none has been proffered so far) then it shouldn't be there.
It is worth noting that the judgement of Davlin Lotze is hardly a basis for any decision; since he spends most of his time, in a Mothership, desroying Noobs in Low Sec. After he lost a carrier doing exactly the same thing!
If you would like to see the Bestower Crushing Power of Mothership Pirates visit Teshkat, it an awesome display of imbalance. There is 2 of them there now!

Anything can be blobbed, -anything-
If we enable warp scrambling of motherships we will stop seing them in combat.
at the current market rates they cost about 20-25billion ISK to build.
Their presence in combat is not so impressive that it warrants risking that kind of ISK to put it there, they can be killed, but non have so far, as they can escape people now risk them in combat, and combat becomes more interesting as a result.
This is not about low sec or 0.0, it is about motherships in general, the argument is they cannot be killed in low sec (read op and original replies) due to dictor bubbles.
It has been clearly state that dictor bubbles are NOT a viable tactic to lock down an MS due to smartbombs.
This then means they are as vulnerable in low sec as in 0.0.
We now look at a full nerf of motherships, if you can cough up 1bill for some nber warp scram then people will, as a result we will see motherships transformed from the pinnacle of many a combat fleet and corporation, to a logistics ship never seen anywhere NEAR combat as NOBODY will risk a 25billion ISK investment to put an oversized carrier into combat if it is so easilly lost.
I have written several replies on a MS's ability in combat, please read these to see my viewpoints on wether or not its combat ability is overpowered or not (my conclusion is, no it is not).
If you are to change motherships, don't nerf them, but give them increased logistic capabilties (make it a MOTHERSHIP in letting it hold vast amounts of ships in it's hold) and decrease it's combat capability, but for the love of god people, e-war immunity is a MUST on these giant ships.
Can you imagine an ecm'd mothership?
Please, I beg you all, don't whine CCP into creating another World of Warcraft, this game is the only game online in where I can play without being choked by the game designs of an overzealous marketing deptartement.
