The mothership -
Designed AFAIK to be a captial ship at the heart of fleets, with it's immunity to all EW has now become something the rich fly around low sec without a care in the world. (I know of several doing just this)
I spoke at some length with the pilot of a 'pvp mothership' and he basically said he had no real worries just moving around low sec killing who he wished solo. He spoke of a bump fleet that had tried to kill him, but after a few attempts to warp he got away no problem.
CCP removed stabs from combat, and at the same time allow a ship with 'infinite' built in stabs to be flown.
The question is I guess, should the fabled 'solopwnmobile' be available for isk ?, 25bill is a price, that with current inflation, more and more will be able to afford in the future.
Don't get me wrong, I would LOVE one but will never be able to afford it. Yes, I'm jealous as hell of those that do fly them... it just seems that CCP have indeed created the 'solopwnmobile', and IMHO it need fixing before more pilots can use them in combat.
Leave the NERF too late and a riot will ensue from the existing pilots who bought them for this very purpose.

I wouldnt like this, I like the differences, and thats just another step to making low sec the same as 0.0
Would be better, IMO, to simply make motherships, and titans ;), 0.0 only, with carriers and dreads in low sec and 0.0 only.

Depends, if you could get lucky and he didn't initiate warp as soon as the dictor uncloaks/enters grid, and somehow got a bubble off 15km off and then you put ships in the mothership's way so he can't move then it's viable but that's about it

Well Dictors AFAIK unless CCP fixed it are about the only thing that could stop a mothership/titan from warping and would be the only way to currently lock one down and destroy it 
considering you can't use em in low sec a mothership is nearly invincible unless say you get a nanophoon/domi fleet to bump and nos it to death while you cyno in some dreads to take it down

I didn't thing bubbles worked on mothership/titans cos they have a jam strength which theose ships are immune to.
But I agree with tiller here, as soon as people can afford them they'll buy them, becouse their impossible to lock down. Makeing a no risk solopwn mobile. ----------------------------------------------- EECC recuitment thread.

for one mothership you can buy n fit 10 dreads. 10 dreads is more than enough to take it down with a bump or two.

Edited by: Skywalker on 24/01/2007 15:12:36 Hmm, i don't agree with you on this one Tiller.
I think a 25 bill ship should be as hard as this to kill.
Still its doable, if you bump him with bs's and use neutralizers to get his cap down below cyno jump ability. Don't know how many bs's it would take, but my guess is 5-10 BS's with mwd's and 4 Neutralizers each would do the trick along with a dread or 2. If you fit the BS's with smartbombs then you can probably handle ogre drones or similar that the mothership probably is using in low sec empire. This would ofcourse be hard to pull off, but killing one would be nice.
Buying a mothership is atm out of my league, but it is my next goal ingame so hopefully i will be there someday. Until that pirating in a dread works pretty well also.

i know mate. just saying from what shamis and other have said it doesn't matter how lucky you are with a bubble as they don't seem to stop a mothership cyno'ing out and anyone who isn't a complete noob will always have a cyno on standby if they're flying a mothership

A ship thats only affected by warp bubbles should not be allowed to enter space where warp bubbles are unable to be used.
25bill should be hard to kill, but not impossible, in low sec killing one is impossible!

The bumping idea will not work. the Mothership is too damn big, a large amount of neuts and NOS BS are needed. and dictor bubbles are next to useless considering most pilots fit their moms with smartbombs. dreads/carrier would be the only realistic ships to be able to deny a mom alignment for warp. you would have to distract a mom enough to get a fleet in to destroy its cap and therefore its ability to jump, and then cyno in about 10 dreads directly ontop of it or something.

The unthinking mobs that usually gather in these threads?
OR
Those who really think mom's and titans fly around solo and don't require support.
Or both. who knows. It's a miracle any of these ships are actually made in the first place given how easy it is to take down posses. Not gonna restate what I've said in other threads, but the sooner the "mob" in threads like these decides to make the goal "nullifying" mom's and titan's, the sooner they'll start registering "wins" against these ships and sending their pilots to other areas to try and find victims with lesser skills.

I do pirate in a Nyx.
I do keep a cyno alt in gang at all times.
I also have a full rack of 10k smartbombs fitted, so interdictor bubbles woudnt stop me for any longer than it takes me to hit F1 - F6.
To be clear, this ship retails at 25 - 30 billion, only my own and the establishments are currently common knowledge as pirate ships operating in low sec. As such they are an elitist ship. Of all the thousands upon thousands of pilots, only a number of pilots which you can count on one hand fly them in this manner. As such we represent an individual and unique challenge to those with the willpower to attempt to bring us down.
I know how I would go about bringing down my ship, so instead of whining to Devs, get your acts together and do somthing for yourselves.
Pathetic whining, empire bears like yourself are the very reason iam driven to gutting so many pilots like pigs in empire.
I hate empire dwelling scum with all my heart and will continue to slaughter them in thier hundreds until a group of pirate hunters grow the balls stop me.

kill his, 20m isk each, fighters ? Actually he can carry a billion in fighters, and has 340m (without drone mods) flying in space for you to destroy. After that it's just 25b (+ loot) in space for you to ransom. 
Not really a solo pwnmobile, just an expensive toy to kill nubs.

The fact that the 'solopwnmobile' does exist, even though there was never intended to be any in game.. is that not a problem ?
Should a price be put on the purchase of a I WIN button ?
Maybe 25bill is a worthy price for such a thing, I don't think so though.
If CCP occasionally played through there own game a little more they would see things such as this before they became major problems in the future. And it currently is a problem that will need addressing.....
If your argument is that there are very few being used, then that is weak. How many is ok ? 5 ? 20 ? 100 ? Should every low sec system have a immune guy in a nyx at a gate ?
Kudos for Miz, he truly is a ground breaker, and deserves his place in eve history more than most. However, he is always going to get upset if someone suggests nerfing his expensive toy.
IMHO the solution would be give it a built in warp strength of say 30. Then at least a average blob would stand a chance of pinning him down in low sec and he would require some support from other ships to operate. (as was intended by design)
Just some thoughts...

Edited by: Jovius Marginus on 24/01/2007 20:52:47 Tiller your very right. I also hate it when people sit on station with Phoenix Dreads insta popping BS. That would qulify as a "solo pwnmobile" just as much since you cant keep them from docking. Mabe you can help me remember someone who I saw doing that in the Ama area that started with a 't'.
*edit* Btw if you didn't catch the sarcasm Motherships are fine. The only real premotivated attempt to kill one was Outbreak and even they admitted with a force that equals the investment of a Mothership they are killable. Tiller tbh sounds like your just jeulous someone has a better solo pwn mobile than a dread on station. If you want a nerf than start with a docking delay for all capitals in low sec.

So what your saying is bumping is the best way to kill a dread (which btw wont happen if the dread pilot has a brain/alt scout but w/e). Get 25b worth of nano phoons and take on a Mothership. Guess who wins.

Only thing I agree with you on this Tiller is the built in stab limit but I think even 30 is to low, 50 built in stab would be better. It is 25 billion isk that some one has spent alot of time to get and should not lose so easyly, I can only dream of having such a ship, I'm way to lazy to get one at this time.

Yup i think 30 is too low on 2nd thoughts. I know for one I'll never have the patience to mine such a ship or the luck to win the t2 lottery.
Good luck to anyone who is aiming for one however, it's a hell of a target to set yourself... no doubt.

How is it just as killable as a dread, you can't really pin a mothership down. Sure cap drain it so it can't cyno or try and bump it, as you say with like 100 nanophoons (lol)
I have a feeling you don't actually understand the game mechs fully. No offence.

The only way to kill both a Mothership and station Dread is bumping which will never work if either pilot is smart. Therefore a smart Dread or Mothership pilot will never die. If you want to nerf one than you have to nerf the other as well. Also you seem to warn of a Mothership epidemic yet I see Dreads on station all over lowsec. Seems to be the new way to pirate.

You bump a dread so it cant dock, then web. nos and kill
You bump a mothership (it cant dock btw), it just moves a little (it's mass is MASSIVE) then it warps away.
I'm not saying it shouldn't be like this, hell it cost like 15 dreads, but it should have a weakness, or at least be banished to 0.0 where it was intended for.

Edited by: Jovius Marginus on 24/01/2007 21:51:08 Well seeing as how a blob of light drones can stop my carrier from warping I fail to see how 25b worth of ships cant stop a mothership. If mass is really a problem just set 25 carriers around it so it keeps getting little bumps. Undock at Jita 4-4 in a BS and try to warp. You'll see what I mean. In the end with enough Dreads and carriers you can melt the thing like butter. Outbreak only used BS and got it to half armor. Imagine 25 carriers all attacking it with BS support and you have a Mothership kill.
Also you wont kill a station Dread if he has scouts or he just pops the nano BS first.

Quote: The fact that the 'solopwnmobile' does exist, even though there was never intended to be any in game.. is that not a problem ?
This is simply unsubstantiated nonsense.
Unless:
1) My momship can use jump gates.
2) Somehow I can monitor\scout adjacent systems and probe out targets. Maybe tiller is aware of fighters that can jump through the gate and probe\scout the next system over? :p
3) My scan resolution is 5 times what it appears to be even after my sensor boosters are figured in. I recall a thread on "Gate camping by Tiller" that says you need 500 to lock anything down. How can I be a "solopwnmobile" if I cannot achieve that standard? Could there be killmail after killmail after killmail on the EST killboard that unequivocally shows that the killing effectiveness of a momship is greatly enhanced by the presence of SUPPORT in the form of fast locking tacklers?????
4) All battleships are prohibited from using nano's. Same for haulers. I might be able to get a lock on them then.
5) The sentries won't target my fighters\drones. Wow, what a wonderful world that would be. My 350k+ shields hardened to almost 90% across the board can tank forever those pesky sentries in this world Tiller paints for us where my Wyvern is a solopwnmobile. On the other hand, if sentries target fighters\drones then having support present is useful along with some good timing in terms of when to utilize fighters\drones. But again, under that scheme, the momship is no longer a solopwnmobile, right?
Well every point listed above is clearly not the way things are in Eve with Momships. The fact is they require a fair amount of support to efficiently kill(or kill at all in many cases dealing with pilots who have a pulse and both lobes of their brain functioning) a majority of the stuff that runs through low sec gates near you.
Once upon a time people stalked the Establishment's Nyx not only for the chance to combat that formidable ship but also because of rumors that it carried in it's belly, Demundus' vindicator or Rawthorn's CNR. One wonders why such formidable hardware is carried around within the bowels of such a beast of a "solopwnmobile"? Was it just extravagance or perhaps just necessary support that greatly enhanced the killing power of that magnificent Nyx????

Valid points, but maybe it carried around those ships as the owners knew they were 99% safe to leave them there. A Vindi and CNR is no protection at all in the grand scheme of things....

Slightly off-topic here but I've been wondering:
Two to three years from now, when our Captial Ship population has exploded, what will the game be like? 40 vs. 40 Dread wars on a consistent basis?
What happens when every fourth pilot in the game is Cap ship capable?

What data or factual basis are people using to suggest that this "explosion" in capship population will take place? And what is this talk of "capships" as some amorphous entity? They are not all equal to be sure. Traditional carriers and even dreads are ridiculously easy for regular fleets and even smallish groups to get rid of.
I lost a regular carrier before the HP boost and in retrospect I would have never engaged in the first place under the circumstances unless my setup would have been radically different and the location of the battle could have been elsewhere(ie, not at a gate). (but sometimes the best lessons in Eve are taught when you are at the wrong end of a killmail :) )
Are people worried about more carriers\dreads? Or is this just a momships\titan thing?
And if it's a momship\titan concern in regards to some idea that their numbers will greatly increase, then tell me how that occurs in light of their cost, the amount of support required during the build process, etc? Even the grandest of industrial alliances(D2) are not turning them out THAT rapidly. And aside from them, who are building in significant numbers?

Well I'm asking a very general question. Would you agree to the following statements:
1. As time goes on, the number of pilots capable of flying a Capital ship increases.
2. As time goes on, the number of Capital Ships encountered in the game increases (related to #1).
Since the inception of these ships, more and more pilots are obtaining and piloting them.
So in theory, a couple years from now, are you saying we will be seeing the same number of Cap ships in combat as we do now?
The same thing happened in SWG. As time went on, more and more people began to unlock Jedi status. In time, instead of being rare (as they were intended to be) you reguarly saw 20 vs. 20 Jedi battles which ruined the game for some. This never happened early on in the game's career, only after a couple of years.

Edited by: Dekiri on 24/01/2007 23:16:40 Tiller is 100% right on this one. Motherships should not be able to enter lowsec if you ask me.
I also think that titan and mothership killing needs a fix. They should introduce bubbles you can deploy from dictors that can stop them from jumping and warping and that cost like 1-2bil each shot for motherships and like 5bil for titans.
The ship carrying it could be destroyed and loose it so they would have to be used carefully, but that would make it a lot more interesting. And of course your fleet would still have to kill it and the support around.
If it stays like it is now we will sooner or later have so many motherships and titans around that regular fights without them can't even really happen anymore on alliance level.

Just for the record though, I do have some upstanding fellow highwaymen who partake in the bloodletting with me.
A few tacklers and a few providing dread/carrier support, which kinda invalidates the argument that a mothership is a stand alone "I win button".
Without these guys/and a girl I woudnt manage to tackle much and/or fight off large fleets.

I think it's happening now if we separate "capships" into two groups, "tier 1" and "tier 2" caps. With tier 1 being basic carriers and dreads and tier 2 being moms and titans.
I think tier 1 capships will continue to become plentiful and I would expect some really ingenious configurations involving multiple carriers in a mutually supporting tactical arrangement being brought to bare against their opposition.
However, I just don't see any tangible data or other information to suggest tier 2 caps will negligably expand in numbers. Cost, needs for support, amazing difficulties associated with building them, etc, will keep numbers down.

MAFIA is not saying anything. I just think there should not be solopwnmobiles in game....
If im a 'carebear' (do you know what one is ?), that makes you what ?

The problem isnt with the ship. Its the fact that something designed to be the pinical of alliance based warfare in 0.0 can be picked up and used by any rich chump in low sec. Want a pirate MS? fine come pirate 0.0.
They do need to move through low sec they have ****ty jump range as is and nerfing their ability to enter is a slight griefing of the pilots. However like dictor bubbles I dont see any reason why you cant have a little message "concord legislation prevents the use of warp core reinforcement in empire space. Do you still wish to jump to this location?" move it, fight back with it but no immunity in low sec gets my vote.

I think its a pointless thread. Even if you could put a bubble up how long before something that the MotherShip deloys destroys the dictor, you would need a neverending supply of dictors. You would never do near enough damage to the mothership before it was able to cyno away anyway at a some stage. Just because CYVOK went AWOL in his Titan don't think that the same mistake would be made again and that for the near future anyway you would get any sort of chance to kill one. Like was said The Est Nyx was hunted for long enough to no avail.
Best chance to kill a Nyx- Warp in a Titan....

I didn't see any thread saying eve is 100% perfect so there must be things that people want changed. Asking for a change is natural when something just doesn't add up. Ex: the price of invincibility is 30 billion? I'd think the price of invincibility would be much much much higher to be completely honest so kindly go away and stfu all because we pew pew doesn't mean that we feel every thing is 100% ok with the game

I also have a full rack of 10k smartbombs fitted, so interdictor bubbles woudnt stop me for any longer than it takes me to hit F1 - F6.
To be clear, this ship retails at 25 - 30 billion, only my own and the establishments are currently common knowledge as pirate ships operating in low sec. As such they are an elitist ship. Of all the thousands upon thousands of pilots, only a number of pilots which you can count on one hand fly them in this manner. As such we represent an individual and unique challenge to those with the willpower to attempt to bring us down.
I know how I would go about bringing down my ship, so instead of whining to Devs, get your acts together and do somthing for yourselves.
Pathetic whining, empire bears like yourself are the very reason iam driven to gutting so many pilots like pigs in empire.
I hate empire dwelling scum with all my heart and will continue to slaughter them in thier hundreds until a group of pirate hunters grow the balls stop me.
All my love, Miz. xxx
If use a mothership to pirate in low sec then you are more of a carebear than the ones you claim to hate in high sec. What challange is there when you are almost immune to destruction.

Motherships don't need nerfed, they should have a built-in 10 stabs strength, and bubbles given a strength, as well as being usable in lowsec.
Then you can have a ton of scramblers manage to lock down a mothership, or bubbles.
Also, smartbombs may need tweaked. I doubt highly that CCP intended large smartbombs to be put onto capital ships, thus given an absurdly large sphere of influence.

I have to try real hard not to cover the room in my excrement everytime I murder a piece of filth with minning lasers on.
You dont even wanna hear me on TS when I get some idiot raging back at me in local.

Pathetic whining, empire bears like yourself are the very reason iam driven to gutting so many pilots like pigs in empire.
I hate empire dwelling scum with all my heart and will continue to slaughter them in thier hundreds until a group of pirate hunters grow the balls stop me.
All my love, Miz. xxx
and people wonder why carebears don't dare to enter lowsec....
Nothing wrong with that. Less people in lowsec more $$$ for those who actually dare to.
Yes because pirates make a ton of ISK when there's no players for them to ransom or kill for loot...

Once upon a time I started smartbombing Jita, 6 or 7 times a night in suicide geddons, people complained, petitioned, that particular forum thead reached over 7k reads. Devs made me stop that.
After this empire bears became narked off with people like Ginger, sniping hundreds of em ina day, petitioned, complained, forum *****d. Sentry guns got beefed up.
Now we have warp to 0.
The carebears of this game have a long long history of not doing for themselves but rather whining/petitioning/forum whoring to initiate changes.
Grow a backbone Empire scum, do something for yourselves.
Us pirates/murderers/griefers have been the victims of the nerf bat one too many times, let us say "NO MORE", go forth and gut scum like has posted here today, let us exact upon them our righeous anger.
Last night, so inflamed was I by the empire inbreds on this forum that I and my buddies were FORCED to murder an innocent frieghter.
So go ahead and flame, whine to your devs, it will only fuel my raging hatred of all things empire.

What you did was nerfed because you were griefing noobies. It was your stupid actions that cause this to happen. People like you are incapable of taking the blame for anything you do. Do something stupid and then blame others for your actions. You want to kill people in empire, I hear Privateers is hiring. You'll get plenty of legit war targets. Killing helpless noobs just shows you're a coward at heart.

Ohm my god Miz, don't you think CounterStrike would be more fun for you? Oh damn it, I forgot, in CS you need real skill at the keybord wheras in eve you just have to be older to be able to kill newcomers....
But seriously, the sighting and usage of motherships for lowsec pirating is just an indication of inflation imho. Interesting part is: will the rules of eve generate a natural balance of fun/risk/reward/destruction for using motherships in lowsec. I mean in 0.0, its organized alliances/corps which fight for territory. In low sec there are usually much smaller groups/less organized/solo players. So, will they be able to counteract, or will they just hace to duck and cover till the MS is back to where it belongs?

naah, if you put 25-30bill of hardware against it you will be able to kill it. thats because it costs around 25-30bill to get so it would be somewhat even fight. if you really want to make sure you kill it then you bring 60bill of hardware to the fight.
but you will never kill one with a couple of BS and some BC's it is just a damn big carrier with EW immunity.
and if you start banning ships from entering lowsec at all then we need a ban on shuttles and noobships atleast from entering lowsec and 0.0. and that wont work.

80 built in stab strenght imo, that would be 5 scorps each fitted with 7.5km scramblers or something like a big blob of ships and that imo would be perfectly fair. As they could still get away if they killed enough ships that had them scrambled, also a mothership should not be without support.

Eh, I dunno, I took my Wyvern to Syndicate and all I got was a t-shirt that said "Will the last person in Syndicate please turn out the lights" and then an entire days worth of smalls groups of ships running from me. Not exactly fun, at least in that case.
But hey, I'm less than a month in my mom, so I'll eventually find my spots, both 0,0 and continuing with the low sec thing. Both areas can be made equally "safe" camps with the correct tactics in place. I mean c'mon, if someone can put their titan in the middle of a bubble and camp in 0,0, than anyone else with a similar "tier 2" capship should be able to do the same thing :)

You missed my point entirely. If you play the game smart, and use "immune to death" strategies it infuriates people to the point where they don't even realize how stupid they sound. Look, a pirate's job is to make isk. We do that. And do it well. A pirate's job IS NOT to placate stupid people by engaging their blobs or fighting them on their terms. This apparantly makes Ginger a "noob."
We had a group of BS try to fight us while we were heavily outnumbered, they lost a Raven (we lost nothing) and they all docked and sat in the station and accused Ginger of fighting in docking range. Hilarious.

Well, I see, but you must see that good ole ginger joining the chorus retards on the nerfbat for moms\titan's isn't gonna do anything for anyone except those who want to see their jealous streaks catered to by CCP. "They", in my view, simply want to continue to have their blobtastic, tacticless, tendencies hold sway in every single instance. God forbid their gang of nos heavy, EW heavy, mouth breathers at the keyboard can't kill EVERYTHING when they have nothing other than "more of them than there are of the attacker."
How pathetically uninteresting Eve would be if MORE always means a "W"...... speaking of W's, I would like to direct that crowd to World of Warcraft. There, the blobbing of mindless npcs via mind numbing raids is KING. Go for it fellas!

Ofc they are invisible! Cloaks are mandatory modules for all those who share my view that the most important strategy in Eve is to make sure always that you have a plan to provide for unmolested time to take a crap on the toilet anytime you need to.
TBH, the ability to take a crap unmolested is what drives 95% of my Eve decisionmaking. The other 5% is how to free up at least one computer for pron

I'm saying he's a smart man because he makes money and nobody can stop him.
Originally by: Pesadel0 Isn¦t that a carebear?
Carebear is a general term, to me it's one who does not kill people for profit, or kill people at all. And then there are the really zealous carebears who don't want non-consentual PvP in the game at all. But simply being smart about combat does not make you a carebear. Everyone is going to have there own opinion. My philosophy is that people need to be more careful how they use these general terms like PvP, piracy, griefing, carebear and what not.
I stopped judging the tactics of others a long time ago and weighed their success in the game by how well they accomplished their own goals. Most people do not do this. Most people judge others by how well they cater to, or match, whatever they see as an ideal play style. Ridiculous.

Since when have ships needed equal value to destroy? You can kill a 100+mil ISK BS with a couple mil worth of frigs and cruisers. You can kill a dread with a couple properly fitted BS, yet you need an omgwtfhuge fleet for a MS or titan because they're damn near impossible to tackle (with them being impossible to tackle in lowsec).

I'm saying he's a smart man because he makes money and nobody can stop him.
So anyone with a MS is smart?
Your logic is horribly flawed on this. What people are pointing at in Miz's case, is that he constantly says how he hates carebears, likely due to their 'no risk' way of playing the game. Yet Miz sits in a ship which is nearly invincible in lowsec due to an oversight in designs, giving it an edge that it should not have. Problems like the inability to tackle a MS or Titan in lowsec are no different than the problems CCP had with the ability to use accel gates on carriers and dreads.
I have very little doubt that CCP will let the situation remain forever, mainly due to the mention that they are considering the use of bubbles in lowsec. That, along with perhaps AOE ignoring bubble emitters, would fix the problem. No more unstoppable MS with a full rack of officer smartbombs, no more tackle immunity in lowsec, and no more "oh just use a nano-carrier/dread along with a dozen NOS boats" arguement to justify an oversight and flaw.
Or they could simply disallow MS and Titans to enter lowsec, claim it's due to empire regulations or whatever, just like the inability to make a cyno in highsec.
However simply allowing bubbles into lowsec will likely fix the problem, and if not, then make bubbles ignore AOE so that a single officer smartbomb doesn't offset the one thing that can lock them down.

15 of our battleships bumping a mothership worked for half a minute or so, until he was somehow bumped towards his warp out point and insta-warped. I suppose it could be done with enough patience and luck, which probably outweighs the advantage of blowing up 25 billion isk.

Originally by: Lord Violent The problem isnt with the ship. Its the fact that something designed to be the pinical of alliance based warfare in 0.0 can be picked up and used by any rich chump in low sec. Want a pirate MS? fine come pirate 0.0.
They do need to move through low sec they have ****ty jump range as is and nerfing their ability to enter is a slight griefing of the pilots. However like dictor bubbles I dont see any reason why you cant have a little message "concord legislation prevents the use of warp core reinforcement in empire space. Do you still wish to jump to this location?" move it, fight back with it but no immunity in low sec gets my vote.

I do pirate in a Nyx.

I also have a full rack of 10k smartbombs fitted, so interdictor bubbles woudnt stop me for any longer than it takes me to hit F1 - F6.
To be clear, this ship retails at 25 - 30 billion, only my own and the establishments are currently common knowledge as pirate ships operating in low sec. As such they are an elitist ship. Of all the thousands upon thousands of pilots, only a number of pilots which you can count on one hand fly them in this manner. As such we represent an individual and unique challenge to those with the willpower to attempt to bring us down.
I know how I would go about bringing down my ship, so instead of whining to Devs, get your acts together and do somthing for yourselves.
Pathetic whining, empire bears like yourself are the very reason iam driven to gutting so many pilots like pigs in empire.
I hate empire dwelling scum with all my heart and will continue to slaughter them in thier hundreds until a group of pirate hunters grow the balls stop me.

Seriously, why are you still allowed to post?
I think the general consensus of this thread agrees with my original post. As much as I hate piewats and Miz is using his Nyx as he sees fit I see no reason for more Nerfs. Like he said... find his cyno scout take him out, at the same time try and get his cloaked safespotted Nyx... which will be near impossible. So Nerfbat is pointless.

Capital ships are needed to take out other Capital ships optimally. I dont see why a group of 20 Dreads couldn't gank a mothership...with the right support ships (covert ops, etc).

Hey Miz,
Have you stopped using the officer/faction smartbombs on that Nyx? Sitting in range of the deceleration point (for both Warp to Zero and idiot autopiloters) between gates and using them to instapop frigates and pods doesn't sound like an intentional game mechanic, and I was wondering if the lack of them showing up on your killmails as of late means you were contacted by a GM about it.
I've got no problem with someone using a mothership to pirate - especially against people stupid enough to autopilot nowadays. But (if you are indeed doing this) if you're sitting on the deceleration point of gates (where ships come out of warp) and activating smartbombs so even the Warp to Zero pilots (specifically frigates) can't initiate a jump before they're toast, that sounds like a blatant perversion of game mechanics to me.
I don't really give a damn - you don't play 24/7, I've never been killed by you, and when you're online and I see multiple kills inside the last hour in Crielere I just don't have to go to Jita from Heimatar that badly. A pirate's worst enemy is a guy who just isn't in a rush. :)
But...if you're not using them anymore - disregard this whole post.

Well, I think its obvious that any oversight or abuse of game mechanics isn't "smart" or particularly intelligent - its just a bug that requires fixing. In this case, it appears the bug is the Mothership.

Yeh, I try to get even the warp to 0 guys mid warp but it aint as easy as it sed to be.
On the bright side though, warp to 0, as we all know doesnt actually warp to 0. More often than not, it leaves the stupid little bears sat 2k off the gate, wondering WTF is hapening and what are all those pretty fireworks around that big ship over there.
That will be me, as might right hand hits F1 - F6 and my left hand beats frantically inside my flight suit as yet another STD infested inbred empire bear gets lit up.
Whatever it takes, an invulnerable ship, mid warp smart bombing, the carebear filth in empire deserves everything they get.

Edited by: Princess ****o on 30/01/2007 09:06:22 ummm... How many here have tried to fight a mothership in low-sec?
A very bored mothership pilot decided to try his out in our area, locals mounted up against it. I think he had 11 bs kills as they tried to nos/neut and kill fighters. They failed. The mothership pilot even said in local he wanted to give a good run in low-sec as he was able to warp out, didn't risk being ewar-*****d to death, and could always cyno out whenever he wanted -and with a cloaking device.
Eventually the pilot got bored as the local said "screw trying to kill you, we'll just frigate pwn your fighters." They actually killed about 8 in all -not just the frig squad, but the unfortunate group that got raped.
Yes, Motherships and Titans need to be 0.0 only, carriers and dreads limited to low-sec and 0.0.
No, Interdictor Spheres do not need to be usable in low-sec. If they become low-sec capable, it's going to **** off a lot of gankers and gankees alike.
-side note, dictor spheres aren't going to do jack against a 4000+ m/s battleship or battlecruisers, not even matari recon ships are going to slow it up due to the mofo's sheer velocity and momentum. When a BS can outrun an interceptor, something in the game is royally screwed up.
And Miz, you are a muppet. Go play Space Cowboy.

Originally by: Jovius Marginus Edited by: Jovius Marginus on 24/01/2007 21:51:08 Well seeing as how a blob of light drones can stop my carrier from warping I fail to see how 25b worth of ships cant stop a mothership. If mass is really a problem just set 25 carriers around it so it keeps getting little bumps. Undock at Jita 4-4 in a BS and try to warp. You'll see what I mean. In the end with enough Dreads and carriers you can melt the thing like butter. Outbreak only used BS and got it to half armor. Imagine 25 carriers all attacking it with BS support and you have a Mothership kill.
Also you wont kill a station Dread if he has scouts or he just pops the nano BS first.
As has been stated many times, a ship can not be balanced based purely off of how much ISK it costs to build, or how many ships of X isk value can take it down... motherships are prohibitively expensive because they are meant for alliances to use in fleet battles. It is OBVIOUS that CCP did not put these ships ingame for people to run rampant in lowsec slaughtering people who are completely unable to defend themselves in any reliable manner.
For anyone to suggest that this is an intended use for these ships is idiocy.

Motherships and Titans need a warp strength, say 10-12 for mofos and 18-20 for titans.
edit: I've seen some suggestions along the line of 50 points required to scramble a mothership. Think for a second what that actually means, that means that if for whatever reason 1 or 2 points dropped then only 49 points would be on it and *BOOM* off it goes in warp. Think about the course of an average battle, I'd estimate that to keep 50 points on one ship is going to require a fleet of at least 2 times the required number of points, so 100 ships, all fitted with with a scrambler.
By this time the matter has become largely irrelevant anyway, a Blob of support like that is almost impossible to amass along with firepower for anyone but the very largest of corps/alliances. Now factor in planning for these ops, not really possible is it? You can't rely on the mothership to be sat in the right place at the right time so your 150 man blob can descend on them without being scouted and/or crashing the system.
No more than 20 points should be required in my opinion.
As you said yourself tiller, isk should not be the sole factor in deciding whether or not a ship is practically invulnerable.
edit edit: Another viable solution is capital level warp scramblers, make the ship vulnerable but only if the opposition are willing to put billions of isk on the line also.

Having lost ships to that EST Nyx I have to agree with welsh wizard. The problem with motherships is not that they can't be jammed or webbed. It's that it's impossible to keep them at the same spot to kill them. As it is now it's almost impossible to kill a good mothership pilot. It should be hard but not impossible.

i dont think its impossible but you will have to put atleast 25bill in the right spot at the right time to do it.

DeckardIRL, that's no defense for the ship or him. If he had a bunch of mates run with him, then he'll have to coordinate a group attack and have everybody online at the same time. That's fine. Right now, the problem is that he's a solowtfpwnmobile and we have the entire weight of coordinating against him.

LOL!! Yeah, I did get a bit nervous near the end when I was the ONLY ship left and half the North seemed to be shooting me. In retrospect, my tank was holding just fine and it would have taken quite a bit to chew through it all. Motherships are monsters. Now I know why the Establishment Nyx hasn't been killed yet. I wonder if they've ever jumped thier ship into something like this?
I will say this - officer smartbombs 4TW. Saved my ass for sure. Nothing says, "GET OFF ME!!" like almost a thousand points of damage every 5-10 seconds.

18 dreads are significantly easier to combat in empire than 1 mothership. You think isk equates to low risk pvp, it shouldn't. You want to fly the ship? Fine, but you accept the risk that goes with using it, just as a 2 week old character with a shiny Caracal does.

The MC battle thread referenced above says it all. "End of story" type stuff tbh..... The calls for nerfs are mere crys for help from those who can't be arsed to solve the puzzle of NULLIFYING mom's versus getting the almighty killmail.
In light of that thread in fact, I'm pretty sure I'm done commenting in this one. There is nothing more to say of value. The choice is clear, keep things like they are and we might be on the "eve"(pardon) the pun of an expansion in the numbers of tremendously entertaining fights like that which happened in the MC thread referenced above.
OR, we can listen to the whiners and proponent of nerf in this thread and once again step down the wrong road of catering to balance changes to solve ingame tactical problems faced by certain entities.

And what's so scary about that? The DDD can only be fired in 0.0 space, and they lack the wtfpwnage fighters a MS has and can give to friends pirating at belts and other areas.
And you have tested this I assume? There is not stat on any doomsday device that indicates that it can only be used in 0.0
Warp Disrupt Probes have a stat called "disallowInEmpireSpace = 1", doomsday devices do not.

Edited by: Doktor Soet on 02/02/2007 10:59:05 Edited by: Doktor Soet on 02/02/2007 10:57:17 well something strange has happend. i`m the same opinion as tiller 
i really think motherships shouldn`t be allowed in low sec. they should be 0.0 ships like titans. i mean i heard lots of things bout how it would work in theory to kill one in low sec with some dreads and blabla... but honestly, how many corps that live in low sec r able to bring 5-10 dreads at the same time or the numbers of bss to try to get a ms down + the know how to kill one? correct me if there r more then i know. but its been long time since i`ve payed attention to the live in low sec areas.
even in 0.0 (as far as i know) no ms was killed until now. and thats ok. a multi billion isks ship is supposed to a though nut to *****. but it should only be seen in 0.0 space. ms r no toys for low sec
just my opinion!!

So far, Ive had 2 large corps and 1 major alliance make attacks upon Battlestar MiZ.
All three attacks came with multi Nueting BS's and caps.
But as i've said earlier in this thread, I DONT camp alone and anyone who wants to take a pop at a mothership better bank on taking on several dreads and support as well.
Iam a mighty pirate and no low life empire gutter scum can get the drop on me.
Stop with the the "Miz has a ship that I cant affford, lets nerf it" threads and just bring it you gutless forum whining *****s, I'll tear out you gibbards, gubbins and those pathetic excuses for balls.

What can miz do to harm YOU in his ONE ship? What can miz's one ship do to harm YOU that I can't with 10 battleships on my tail?
If you kill miz's drones he loses nearly half a billion isk, and killing fighter drones is NOT hard, after that it's just a fancy smartbomb, hardly an impressive ship.
Miz can camp a gate REALLY REALLY well, you know what, a few bs will be just as efficient camping that same gate.
What imbalance does he cause? You can't kill him?
Is this the same as you can't inflict losses on him?
Killing his drones loses him half a billion isk..that is ALOT to risk, that is putting a very great amount of money on the line.
And considering how much damage this ship can do to an entity in low sec (a laughable amount, it's a toy and tool, not a solo empire) i'd say he stands to lose more tham most.
And no, my corporation does not camp gates in a nyx, we don't own one, miz has it, and again, before anyone brings it up, he paid VERY handsomly to fly it.
Considering what miz has paid to fly it, and how easy it is to cause him hundreds of million isk in losses, considering the limitations that will ALWAYS apply to one man and one ship, I really fail to see the imbalance, I do however, see a great deal of jealousy.
I hope one day to fly a Nyx myself, not as a gate camping solo ship, but as a tool in war, it wont win any battles on it's own, but it is a nice addition to a combat fleet, that's it, a nice addition.

Marcus, the same could be said of you and tiller. But besides the nasty personal attacks, this is what this thread boils down to.
Instead of realizing what a great challenge this is to your skill as a PvPer, all you want to do is nerf it so it is easier. Time and time again I hear how carebears want the game easier and all they do is cry for nerf so it can be.
Is this sounding familar? It seems to be that you want to take out such a large ship at little risk to yourself. That it should be easy to take out a mothership.
Miz already admitted he is not doing this alone. So we've established it is not a solopwnmobile. End of story.
Honestly, several people in this thread have disappointed. And btw Marcus, you know you've lost when you utter words like that. Go back to COAD and flame BoB somemore.

Marcus, do you know:
1. What a fighter drone is 2. What a fighter drone costs 3. How many fighter drones a mothership deploys in combat 4. How easy/hard fighter drones are to come by 5. How difficult it is to kill a fighter drone 6. How many fighter drones have been killed to date in eve
If no to one or more of these questsion, visit a random wiki and get a clue before you reply.

1.Yes 2. 17-25 mill last time I checked 3. Depends on the Setup and the mothership pilots carrier skill 4. Depends on what rescources are available to the pilot but market wise they are a ***** to get from there so it would be best to have a contact that sells them in bulk 5. Not very 6. You can't be a cheater and ask a question that no one knows thats not playing fair

So we conclude it is easy to render him useless and inflict hundreds of millions, if not billions over time in losses on him, but this is not enough.
Sure, you can inflict billions of losses on an MS pilot, yes you can render him useless in battle forcing him to fleet quite easy, but this is not enough, so what if he paid 25b for his ship (miz's was not so cheap, I may add), we should be able to blow him up for the killmail!
Absolute rubbish, a mothership is a corporate utility box, if you really think a mothership is going to solo own your corporation, you're outta luck
If you think YOU should be immune or able to defeat a large scale corporate war effort amounting in over 20billion ISK + support...
www.wow-europe.com World of Warcraft - land of elves and magic, where balance is to be found everywhere (except shamans, damn shamans, I heard they could walk on water!11).
There are no motherships in wow, if you die you get ressed at the GY with all your gear and no matter how pimped someones gear is, you can be pretty sure a very poor hunter can one shot him anyway.
Who needs eve, where things arent balanced, with its variety, with it's griefing and demmand of tactics and challenges, we want light entertainment, not a damn challenge!
or...well I think everyone but the dumbest would realise this is sarcasm, which is why i'll end it with the following. SARCASM!
This is Crime and Punishment after all.

Pretty sure your corp has been owned by alot of other things too marcus.
Let's start nerfing them all, it's unfair that your 1 man corp shouldnt be able to compete with all the other corps, you pay too!

Then why don't you try argumenting, rather than insulting?
I'm sure you can see how excluding thousands of players from pvp without a single argument can be percieved as slightly..insulting, rather than argumentative and thus warrant the same form of retort.

Motherships and Titans need a warp strength, say 10-12 for mofos and 18-20 for titans.
edit: I've seen some suggestions along the line of 50 points required to scramble a mothership. Think for a second what that actually means, that means that if for whatever reason 1 or 2 points dropped then only 49 points would be on it and *BOOM* off it goes in warp. Think about the course of an average battle, I'd estimate that to keep 50 points on one ship is going to require a fleet of at least 2 times the required number of points, so 100 ships, all fitted with with a scrambler.
By this time the matter has become largely irrelevant anyway, a Blob of support like that is almost impossible to amass along with firepower for anyone but the very largest of corps/alliances. Now factor in planning for these ops, not really possible is it? You can't rely on the mothership to be sat in the right place at the right time so your 150 man blob can descend on them without being scouted and/or crashing the system.
No more than 20 points should be required in my opinion.
As you said yourself tiller, isk should not be the sole factor in deciding whether or not a ship is practically invulnerable.
edit edit: Another viable solution is capital level warp scramblers, make the ship vulnerable but only if the opposition are willing to put billions of isk on the line also.

This may come as something of a revelation to you Deckard but some people actually prefer an enjoyable balanced game despite their background. Winning at all costs isn't on everyones agenda.
So 4 6pt minnie ceptors and you're golden right? To kill a 25billion isk ship??????
Why not spend your time in figuring out how to kill 23 fighters in two\three minutes? Nullify me. How many people could repeatedly take a roughly 450 million isk loss in fighters\drones in a single engagement?
I can think of any number of ways to *****the fighters a mom would pop out. But I'm not going to do your thinking for you.
This only works if you launch fighters and not a swarm of t1 heavy drones.

If his using tech I drones how dangerous is this ship really?
I mean come on, if we speak 25billion wallets we talk corps that can easilly mount 10 battleships at any given time, 10 battleships will do ALOT more damage than some guy with a ton of t1 drones.
If you pay 25B isk to launch 25 t1 ogre's at once with impunity, have fun, by all means, personally I think you've wasted alot of ISK, but yeah you'll own most disorganiced newbies, no doubt about it.
Just like an officer fitted rattlesnake will, however against a serious opponent (and a nyx pilot IS a serious opponent, so it takes one to match him) you're nothing but a punchline if you start spitting out t1 drones from a mothership.

There are any number of scenarios I can relate where t1 drones are preferable to either t2 drones and\or fighters in low sec. And tech 1 heavies are more than lethal in the numbers that a mom can deploy. Offensively mom's are still carriers in that they are drone boats. Anyone who thinks that offensive use of carriers in low sec boils down to "launch fighter, engage target" will be in for a very very rude awakening when a force comes along that is:
A) adept at kill fighters B) adept at letting the sentries kill fighters C) finds a way to warp out with your fighters in tow
"Which drones to launch when" is part of the tactical fun of carrier\momship warfare. If you have the skills to fly carriers jump on SISI and try it out.

I know, i'm merely pointing out that MS's really arent that imbalanced, which is what this thread is about, it is a powerfull ship, but not some great behemoth able to spew out 25 fighter drones in any fight with impunity and pwn any number of hostile battleships and dreads.
It's a great ship, but perfectly balanced.

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.

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.

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.

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?
The same could be said of Tiller and his attention whoring.
If that is true Gix, Tiller's threads wouldnt expand to 8 pages worth of discussion.
You don't bombard a thread for a week or 2 weeks straight unless you're interested in what they have to say, regardless if you agree with it or not.

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.

This is exactly why you don't see carriers in combat, they can be scrambled...
Seems the idea that carriers are supposed be with the fleet and motherships is supposed to stick in the back is assbackwards because of this.

Carriers can actually be seen quite often in the front lines, they're great for remote repping/shield boosting etc and truly a good addition to a close range fleet, however, these arent such a great loss factoring in insurance, and while they do die now and then, a carrier is not something you kill with ease.
That said, losing a carrier is a grave loss, but not so grave one wont risk it.
Now a mothership...nobody will pay 25bill for a ship that's really not much more powerfull than two or three carriers if you risk losing it to a blobtrap.
They will rather invest in reserve carriers causing near extinction of these very cool ships.
As far as I know, there is not a single mothership that has me as +blue in eve, but who cares, this isn't about me, it's about EvE-Online staying unique.

How about this: Create more money sinks to funnel money out of the economy, and reduce inflation.
Institute some market changes to reduce the tech 2 monopolies.
Make ships like a mothership more viable, in otherwords, more affordable. Allow them to be killed (i.e. scrambled) like any other ship in the game.
Obviouslly, this requires a number of tweaks, and it isn't as simple as I've laid down here. However, more important than anything else is the game economy. It is one of the grossest, most inflated (and thus prohibative to new players) I've ever seen in an MMO.

Hah! He wants a ship that doesn't die.
If not concentrated scrambling to hold them down then capital ship level scramblers. Anything to make killing them in low-sec possible. Do you in all honestly, think someone will lose a mothership in low-sec with current mechanics? Can you see it from that point of view? If someone does lose one then I'll apologise officially.
It's not nice to see people screaming for your ship of choice' blood but its only going to get worse. Why? Because more and more motherships are going to be ganking defenceless people in low-sec and they'll have no chance of returning the favour. You honestly think Eve players are going to stand for that for any length of time?
Anyway this has become akin to headbutting a wall so I'll just let time do the healing. I'm confident the problem will become evident a few months down the line.

These forums should not become a point of ceaseless "head banging" against a wall. I've tried to consider what you've said and your arguments in general. To a degree I understand your concerns. However, in point of fact, alot of people that die to me aren't defenseless and there are alot more than cruise right by my camps without a degree of worry because they have the skills and situational awareness to operate safely in 0,0 AND low sec.
What I will add here is that there are ALOT of corps\individuals who want or think they deserve the right to run around low sec like they do in empire, ie, "free from risk" or at least free from the responsibility or requirement that everyone who has ever lived in 0,0 meets everyday they hop into their pods.
You have to watch your back. You have to decide before you move from point A to point B, "Am I traveling or am I traveling but also making myself ready to fight if necessary?" I guarantee you without support, there is no way I can tackle a BS with 3 stabs or more OR a couple nano's\i-stabs. They are fitted purely for travel and I can't touch them alone in low sec.
So I guess I'm gonna turn this thing around and ask whether it is your intent to make life easier for those who just aren't thinking and preparing themselves for what they might face in low sec, or what? Because it's the careless that I'm catching right now. The prepared person survives.
If every person in low sec in a battleship paid attention to what I just said in the last couple paragraphs, I dare say my kill total would plummet in low sec and I'd be forced to get support or get out to 0,0 and implement some of the existing ways to catch people, dictor bubbles, deployable bubbles, etc.
So, let's summarize to this point. I've told you how to avoid me, and I've told you how to give me repeatedly an effective kicking in the balls by fashioning a way to take 1/2 billion from me in fighters each time we meet. Yet balance for you still hinges on the trophy kill mail? A legitimate question that I'm not sure you've answered to this point.
I know you think you guys tried every which way to bump the EST's Nyx when you met. You think that's a fruitless endeavor or approach. Get a mom of your own and do your own tests. I think what you will learn will surprise you.
But you know, you're still gonna have to bring more than what your used to fighting with to take down either a mom or a titan.
I've always had the highest level of respect for Outbreak(being ex-FIX myself long long ago when the first SA wars made 9cg a fun place to be) and I know you all pride yourselves on rolling with less and accomplishing more. But it's not enough and shouldn't be enough to take down these top tier capships.
I'm thinking the real party starts somewhere around 8 to 10 dreads and a half dozen carriers. Look at what BoB brought to the table for an UNPILOTED titan. They had at least one mom of their own there.
These are just some thoughts. Sorry if some of my spirited replies felt as though they were directed to you or Outbreak when their true targets were the mouth breathing Wow population in this thread.
P.S. Tiller et al, please direct all recruiting inquires to me ingame. It is true I am looking for the right kind of alliance to join. Shooty of CVA is a PLUS for potential alliances\corps hehe :D

AFAIK, just for your edification, a 100+ man CVA fleet dispatched two death star POS's I was operating in Keshirou and Ordat respectively. They attacked initially whilst I was sleeping. Still, they were proficient in their work and since WoW has reclaimed the gaming attentions of the family member and other active member of Raging, I didn't exactly have the wherewithall to counter their moves in any manner.
You will see true "Fleets" in low sec, especially in low sec Amarrian space.

Excellent post Davlin!
I just think practically immune, remote sensor boosted motherships sat on low-sec choke points farming passers by is a step in the wrong direction for this game.
I think the prospect of trying to kill one in empire is essentially hopeless. I think Eve players will just start to avoid them and find a way round rather than trying to kill them. As they become more and more common in empire with pirate corps owning 4 or 5 we'll see low-sec stagnate further. Gangs of indestructable pirate capital ships floating about doing as they please with no real fears.
I understand your points about losing lots of isks worth of fighters but I don't play this game to inflict financial damage on people. I play it to reap the satisfaction that is destroying their ship and sometimes their pod. You're a pvp'er yourself, can you honestly say that destroying a carriers fighters is as satisfying as blowing up a battleship? Isk just doesn't come into it as far as I'm concerned.
When a player is introduced to pvp for the first time they learn that the single most important thing to do is fit a scrambler. You don't kill anything unless you can make it stay. This ideology seems to have flown out the window with the introduction of motherships to low-sec.
In theory they can be destroyed in empire but as far as I'm concerned it's putting a price on immortality.
It's early days, I guess we'll just have to see what happens. I don't see how further argument will change anything or convince either party otherwise.
I will comment no further on the matter.

Originally by: welsh wizard I understand your points about losing lots of isks worth of fighters but I don't play this game to inflict financial damage on people. I play it to reap the satisfaction that is destroying their ship and sometimes their pod. You're a pvp'er yourself, can you honestly say that destroying a carriers fighters is as satisfying as blowing up a battleship? Isk just doesn't come into it as far as I'm concerned.
Well , Mr Outbreak man, I totally agree with you on the isk point. I want to see exploding ships..not virtual money loss. On a grumpy side note, I have the opportunity to make a bil in a day playing silly kosmos stuff, but I get more pleasure from jumping in a rupture and taking down a cruiser in a belt.
As for mother ships..hmmm, I would like to see them excluded from low sec, OR dictors being allowed in low sec. At the moment, MS are just way overpowered, regardless of the cost. I have been in fleet trying to kill pirate MS in low sec, fleet is worth around 50bil with dreads and carriers...but it still cant get the Nyx...and thats not right 
Edit..counting it up..I guess more like 50..not 80 Tears will stream down your face, when you lose something you can not replace

Its a crazy expensive ship I don't think the players of eve really need to worry about an epidemic of solo mothership pvpers.

Ok just one more comment :P
Thats the other problem, the isk has devalued so drastically that actually 25billion isn't that much.
Theres probably 100+ players out there who could afford their own titan if someone were to build it for them.

Warp stabs were removed for a reason.
There should be a risk of "loss of ship" when flying any ship. Titans, and Motherships should not have infinite warp scram strength.
The end.

IBTL (which is sad.)
Yes, two MoMs were destroyed... in 0.0. Meaning that their destruction has nothing to do with the issue of them being in low sec.

They also died to massive blobs and mean a small time corp of 30 or less members has utterly no chance of ever killing them.
Way to make the game about blobs.

And, my understanding is, a large amount of bubbles and spheres were used to hold the MoMs in place. Meaning, it has no bearing on low sec empire (since bubbles and spheres can't be used.)
