Tsukino Stareine Art Of Explosions 404 Hole Not Found 1501	Posted - 2016.05.30 23:55:56 - [1] - Quote So one of my corpmates just got killed by a fortizar anchored on a gate with a stop bubble. Please fix the damn grids already.
Tau Cabalander Retirement Retreat Working Stiffs 6161	Posted - 2016.05.31 01:36:04 - [2] - Quote Don't warp to an un-scouted gate. Use perch bookmarks. EDIT: It is probably safer to warp at range to the citadel in a cloaky from a celestial not inline with the gate, than warp direct to the gate with the bubble, in order to create bookmarks, as the citadel is a great distance from the gate. You can even repeatedly activate & de-activate a MWD before warping to burn capacitor to limit the warp distance.

Tsukino Stareine Art Of Explosions 404 Hole Not Found 1502	Posted - 2016.05.31 03:03:59 - [4] - Quote The fact that you can have just one person piloting the fortizar and then pressing one button to kill anything bc sized and below does not seem remotely broken to you?

Yeah, a warship firing a tomahawk can kill an entire village of people a hundred miles away. What a broken system. We should complain to the US navy that they are using a broken system.

He is sitting in a several billion structure, you are flying a couple hundred mill ship. Seems fair enough to me and nobody is forcing you to use that gate. You are complaining about something big and powerfull, being well.... big and powerfull.... A life is best lived, to not step into your grave in a well preserved body. Instead, to slide in side ways, all battered and bruised, screamming, "Holy SH**! What a ride!"

No, not even if I was the unfortunate ship in that scenario. I do not try to impose my rules or ideals, like what I consider to be fair, upon the EvE universe, nor upon others. I do try to adapt, and find it much more enjoyable and productive than ranting to make changes in only my favour, especially when there are counters or alternatives currently available. For what it is worth, I can cite two (minor) game games that I believe I was responsible for (one was later reversed, oh well), and in all cases I try to present a convincing argument, weighing both the pros and cons (when I can think of any cons), present it in the correct channels, and accept criticisms graciously (maybe even use some of those ideas, as I can't be expected to have thought of everything myself). If you are serious about your idea(s) being accepted by CCP, I recommend you consider taking a similar tack.

Elenahina Agony Unleashed Agony Empire 883	Posted - 2016.05.31 10:14:30 - [11] - Quote Your corpmate flew directly to an unscouted gate. How would the result have been any different if there had been a dozen ships there waiting instead? I get that he's salty about being blown up, but put the blame where it belongs - on the person too lazy to make sure their out gate is actually clear.

Tsukino Stareine Art Of Explosions 404 Hole Not Found 1502	Posted - 2016.05.31 10:39:53 - [12] - Quote I have never complained about bubbled gates and traps set in them. At least those require some input from one ore multiple people and you have a chance to break tackle and get away. There is some counterplay to it, this? 1 button pop, done.

The counter is don't warp to an unscouted gate. Especially where bubbles are allowed. That's like one of the first lessons every nullsec player learns (sometimes painfully amid fire and death).

Citadels specifically aren't allowed to anchor near gates in order to stop invulnerable fortresses being used to gate camp. The problem is that now grids are thousands of KM wide, the way CCP has allowed drag bubbles to work allows people to break that restriction by pulling you miles away from the gate directly into the citadels arms. When the grid was only 200-300km without major grid fu, you couldn't be pulled that far away from your intended destination so anchoring limits worked. Now they don't work.

Actually, you don't. There are several ways to determine what's near a gate without even being on grid with it (barring cloaking, of course). And even if you do have to be on grid, on grid doesn't mean in line with the stop or drag bubble and in range of that massive castle's defenses. I mean, assuming I can still do math, the maximum range of a citadel's launchers is around 1,000 km A grid is...8,000 km across? Seems like you have plenty of room to maneuver without getting shot.

That might be or become a problem. But scouting a gate, even if bubbled in such a way as to bring you in range of a Citadels defences, is still quite easy. insert lengthy expose on scouting techniques, Cov-opps ships, Cloaking devices, Bookmarks, etcetera... Well, you know how it works. Here I used to have a sig of our old Camper in space. Now it is disregarded as being the wrong format. Looking out the window I see one thing: Nothing wrong with the format of our Camper! Silly CCP......
Tsukino Stareine Art Of Explosions 404 Hole Not Found 1503	Posted - 2016.05.31 15:17:05 - [17] - Quote You're all missing out the fact (conveniently) that many gates in null sec are out of scan range of any celestials, so unless you've been at that gate before and made a bookmark, it's impossible to scan unless you have combat probes. Again, the above is not my problem, mystery gates are a common occurrence and are a staple of null and the risks involved, however there has always been counterplay to these camps, an invincible structure that can oneshot you without even needing to target you has no counterplay.

Of course there is counterplay, if what's camping it is not strong enough to hold you, then you can get out.

You must have not read my post above. You are missing the fact that you can warp (cloaked) to a citadel that is near a gate with a bubble Also you can do a short warp between celestials by burning capacitor prior to entering warp, so you can warp to a location from an unexpected direction (i.e. not from another gate).
Tsukino Stareine Art Of Explosions 404 Hole Not Found 1505	Posted - 2016.05.31 19:45:08 - [22] - Quote you cannot warp to a citadel unless you can dscan it ;) capacitor burning is possible I guess, but how would you calculate how much cap you need to get within dscan range of the gate? And all of this is redundant if you don't have a covert ops cloak

Probably don't understand the concept as all you fly are interceptors reading comprehension... i just told you how to NOT land in the bubble. i know very well that with this method you can not dscan a gate. All you complain about is that you warped to the gate and landed in the bubble near the citadel... you know when you warp at 100 to a gate from a celestial NOT IN LINE WITH GATE TO GATE you will land at the desired spot except the gate is also bubbled in the line of the celestial but even then you wouldn't land near the citadel i suppose. AND i also fly lots of svipuls!
W33b3l Conquest and Kittens 102	Posted - 2016.05.31 20:57:47 - [25] - Quote The only thing i dont like about the new grid sizes is that all my insta warp bookmarks are now well on grid. More then far enough to warp out before they burn to you but now they know where it is and ya have to redo them all. Oh and a cluster fudge of anchored pos stuff that now within the same grid if every station in system lol.

Please fix the damn grids already. So what is the range of the Fortizar anyway? Also, a citadel positioned to be a gaping maw of death on a gate bubble is rather funny. Bring back DEEEEP Space!
Tsukino Stareine Art Of Explosions 404 Hole Not Found 1505	Posted - 2016.05.31 23:15:24 - [27] - Quote doesn't matter what the range is when the bubble drags you inside it XD

Tsukino Stareine Art Of Explosions 404 Hole Not Found 1506	Posted - 2016.05.31 23:43:15 - [29] - Quote I see that now, the capping out warp trick seems to be a good one. Warping from another celestial, often does not work since the gate is so far away the bubble(s) are still in line with that alignment.
