NIkis Minmatar Hidden Agenda Deep Space Engineering	Posted - 2007.03.21 01:20:00 - [1] Edited by: NIkis on 21/03/2007 01:24:30 "Blockade runners" are a joke as they are now, not true blockade runners, very far from it actually. The least CCP could do is give them one more lowslot across the board and bubble immunity. As it stands now, deep space transports got more cargo space, better resists, more shield and/or armour (even DOUBLE in some cases), more lows (even after fitting 2 lows with WCS to compensate for the so-called 'bonus' the runners got). Their disadvantage would be a slightly higher align time, slightly lower speed, and higher signature (which doesn't matter when we're talking of camps with inty,af's, and any SB ship as tacklers). So blockade runners are BROKEN. Fix them BEFORE adding new content please. But somehow I doubt that will happen Maybe nerf deep space transports instead ?

Since the implementing of Invention (or maybe earlier) WCS II's no longer give a +2 Warp Strength Bonus. They are +1 just like every other WCS. The only difference is the amount it effects your max range and scan resolution. So you'll end up with +4 Warp Strength. You may get through some camps but there are plenty of camps with at least 5 people out there and with a 7+ second align & warp time... likely all 5 people will get their lock before you warp Looks like someone been away from eve since the WCS been nerfed into oblivion. I always thought and said the WCS II should remain +2 but oh well. Now its time to reap the results. Who cares actually since probably only a handful (read rich b*s) would use them. Oh and if you fit a couple WCS on any industrial as they are now, align time would allow even another industrial to lock and scram you by the time you can warp away. Way broken especially for 'blockade runners' (mock term as it is now) with their lows shortage. Oh and blockade runners were broken even before the nano nerf (read the part about what a real blockade runner would be, above), it just taken this little bit to draw them over the edge so people would notice, THEY SUCK NOW.

NIkis Minmatar W33D Corp. O X I D E	Posted - 2007.04.16 16:58:00 - [11] Daily bump back from my mountains trip TBHI didn't expect to see a dev post here yet, but someone will see this thread poking in his eye sooner or later.

NIkis Minmatar W33D Corp. O X I D E	Posted - 2007.05.01 08:49:00 - [13] Edited by: NIkis on 01/05/2007 08:46:00 Originally by: James Lyrus Originally by: kill0rbunny Originally by: kill0rbunny Someone commented earlier that covert ops cloaking would be overpowering. I think they may be right. The people using pilgrim for purpose of blockade running makes this seem a not so overpowering feature. I think 'they' (your 'they') may be wrong. But still there are a lot of different approaches to solving the current blockade runner dilemma. And to the guy who advocated cramming the lows with WCS, you will move like a fat whale if you do that, and probably get ganked anyway (a lot of ships can target a MWDing industrial, not only intys). If you gamble on 'chance' you get screwed like the ECM did. Way to go CCP
NIkis Minmatar W33D Corp. O X I D E	Posted - 2007.05.03 03:12:00 - [14] bump

NIkis Minmatar W33D Corp. O X I D E	Posted - 2007.05.09 12:18:00 - [16] no worries I don't let this one sink
NIkis Minmatar W33D Corp. O X I D E	Posted - 2007.05.09 14:10:00 - [17] Originally by: max bygraves you can fit MWD, Case closed. wow that was smart Almost any ship can do that .. so what ?
NIkis Minmatar W33D Corp. O X I D E	Posted - 2007.05.13 12:40:00 - [18] BUMPPPPP
NIkis Minmatar W33D Corp. O X I D E	Posted - 2007.05.15 05:02:00 - [19] getting in warp faster is a good start bump
NIkis Minmatar W33D Corp. O X I D E	Posted - 2007.05.22 19:56:00 - [20] bump un-nerf blockade runners pls, and make the transport skill do something more useful (a tanking bonus isn't exactly a bright idea on BR.. maaaaybe on DST but not on BR) and more PG or more lowslots on crane, its ridiculous having to fit a PG module just to be able to add a shield booster (they get bonus from transport skill remember ? )together with mwd, thus leaving only one measly lowslot free.. dumb dumb dumb
NIkis Minmatar W33D Corp. O X I D E	Posted - 2007.05.24 02:21:00 - [21] up we go someone will notice us eventually
NIkis Minmatar W33D Corp. O X I D E	Posted - 2007.05.25 15:37:00 - [22] Originally by: Augeas Edited by: Augeas on 25/05/2007 13:46:40 Quote: The actual cycle continues as it would if you had disabled a module manually however the speed boost ceases instantly, at least this is what I thought This is correct - activating a T2 improved cloak on a Prowler immediately cancels the speed boost from the MWD. It's been like this since January, at least, so I don't know why people keep saying that the speed boost remains. If only it did... lol there goes the MWD argument out the window.. in your face (to whoever advocated BRs as being ok due to possibility to fit MWD ... PWNTTTTT ) becomes obvious they made some stealth nerfs but didnt even realise they would utterly gimp BR's who relied on some disparate elements (like un-nerfed nanos, MWD in cloak and a little more natural agility it seems) to be able to barely survive a small gatecamp
NIkis Minmatar W33D Corp. O X I D E	Posted - 2007.05.26 18:03:00 - [23] And another day goes by .. just seen a BR around so they are not extinct (yet)
NIkis Minmatar W33D Corp. O X I D E	Posted - 2007.06.03 18:34:00 - [24] up we go main issue here is not mwd anyway, the mwd thing is a workaround developed by players blockade runners are TOO SLOW
NIkis Minmatar W33D Corp. O X I D E	Posted - 2007.06.06 11:24:00 - [25] they must be busy nerfing stuff bumporz
NIkis Minmatar W33D Corp. O X I D E	Posted - 2007.06.09 14:01:00 - [26] Le bump strikes again Now really .. these ships need a helping hand
NIkis Minmatar W33D Corp. O X I D E	Posted - 2007.06.11 23:16:00 - [27] Le bump .. again Blockade runners are brrroken!
NIkis Minmatar W33D Corp. O X I D E	Posted - 2007.06.13 15:49:00 - [28] I'm curious if there is ONE character on the whole server with Transport skill leveled to 5. Really doubt it.
NIkis Minmatar W33D Corp. O X I D E	Posted - 2007.06.16 08:46:00 - [29] Lame. Bump.
NIkis Minmatar W33D Corp. O X I D E	Posted - 2007.06.18 18:33:00 - [30] still wanna hear about someone who trained transport ships to 5
NIkis Minmatar W33D Corp. O X I D E	Posted - 2007.07.02 02:13:00 - [31] yawn Back from a long mountains trip... nice to see the thread going Changes that make it more difficult to catch a ship umm let me think about that :) maybe the introduction of agility/mass reduction rigs ? even heat .. with its +50% bonus on MWD/AB speeds (well provided you are lucky and don't fry the said module in the process) And this ship's role is exactly that .. escaping camps (be they 3-man or 50=man camps, it should have a better chance than usual ships do. and the +2 WCS bonus isn't exactly providing much considering the best warp scramblers can reach that on one module alone, and the BRs have crap lows (compared even to their tech 1 counterparts). Yes other ships have high resists too (and BRs resists are rather low anyway compared even to DSTs), they have some decent cargo holds (consider the 'hauler' pilgrims case), and the transport ships skill is so great that 90% (?) of the people don't even bother training it past level 1.. so what exactly do the BRs have to make them useable for their purpose ?
NIkis Minmatar W33D Corp. O X I D E	Posted - 2007.07.03 12:05:00 - [32] BRs are just fine (read overpowered) .. move along
NIkis Minmatar W33D Corp. O X I D E	Posted - 2007.07.06 11:21:00 - [33] Originally by: NIkis BRs are just fine (read overpowered) .. move along looks like some people took that for real BR .. need some help
