I have noticed that CCP seems to be forcing people to play in Corporations, gearing all new content towards that end, pushing those of us who enjoy being solo players into a position where we will not advance or being to engage new content unless we join a corporation and play in mobs.

This has ultimately ruined most 1vs1 combat where groups gank singular players now instead of engaging in combat as it used to be.

It has created massive gate camps where the only way they can be avoided is to fit a Strategic Cruiser with interdiction nullification.

...

...

There are players who enjoy being able to play stealthy, to avoid forced battles and to be able to pick and choose their battles based on their STRATEGIC ability. Who enjoy being solo pirates, or who enjoy being able to enter a system and carefully plot and plan their way around all the offensive positions that attempt to catch them. It's the old game of cat and mouse. And yet, CCP again seems to be ignoring these players, and instead focused on forcing conflicts, forcing fights when this cat and mouse type play is so exhilarating.

If CCP goes through with changing these ships into something they are currently not. If they wish to de-evolve them into just another cruiser, if they are going to ruin solo gameplay or the ability to do combat sights solo, or all the other things the larger sig radius will ruin, the interdiction nullification removal will ruin, the reduction in the distance damage can be applied then there should be an option to recover those skill points so that they can be applied towards other things. Because honestly, these are the exact reasons why many of us have spent years of game play perfecting our skills in regards to strategic cruisers.

If CCPs ultimate goal is to ruin solo gameplay, I think they should come out and state it so, instead of silently removing all options for solo play, and forcing fights where they use to allow an option for a different type of gameplay.

...

TO say the very least I am not happy at all with the new suggested changes. Yet again just as with other ships it seems that CCP's true intent is to force people to join corporations, force people to play in mobs, force people to engage when otherwise they would prefer playing a different way, and to ruin ships that have a place in the game. And to leave wide gaping holes in a universe that if real would never allow them, would naturally fill those gaping holes with ships that excel at solo gameplay.

All new content, ships, changes, nerfs, "re-balancing" seem to be geared towards forcing solo players out of the game. It's been this way for years and it doesn't seem like it's going to change anytime soon. I fear that I am going to be looking for a new MMORPG to play in the very near future.
