It would seem that Moos bs on the forums, pertaining to their apparent conquest of Fountain, as they have enlisted FE as re enforcements.

It would appear what most people say on the forums about NVA members being full of crap is true.
Plans change as you might soon find out, but hey yeah FA are getting better, this morning they killed a m0o scorpion and only lost 5 bships. wh00tle

5 mining ships vs 1 combat ship ? o_O
All I have seen you done today is first mass smack talkage then mass logging when FA forces arrive.

A BS is not and never can be a 'Mining ship' no matter how many Miner2s it has fitted.
Anyone who disagrees should remember what BS stands for.
I personally am all for making Miner2s un*****ble on BSs, or heavily penalizing them.
M0o Own FA. IF you still claim that all m0os kills have been "defenceless miners" then this implys 98% of FA is defenceless miners. In which case, hahahahaha.

what I mean, is while m0o kills miners and such, FA defence forces remain undiminished. Fountain is definitely not overtaken, but agreed, it is currently not a profit heaven.

CA is at war with everyone else so what else is new? Fact remain that Sinister is doing very little to be seen as a non-pirate corporation by constantly riding the M0o bandwagon.

Oh I'm sure people will still care when they find M0o operating safely in Curse again for the 20th time and wonder how come?
One could argue that no-one cares about anything really since EVE is but a dream, I mean it's cool to pretend to not even care when losing a ship or getting killed, some are even too cool to actually log on, being jaded is all the rage...

Its called "humour", something obviously severely lacking in Venal. (or did the entire "yes we considered joining FE" pass you by Gafton? )

Actually I am bored as hell from the moo invasion. All they do is sit in a safe spot, play in chaos, and then send fountain goddess all over the map looking for a lone target to kill.
Dying of boredom is the most terrible thing they are inflicting on us right now.
Seriously...I'd rather mine scordite till I'm blind than fight m00, it sucks that much.
Those 127 ship kills you see are basically Fountain Godddess, l33t Spy, and other scout frigates.
Otherwise, its hours upon hours of boredom, knowing that m00 will only strike when they have overwhelming force.
If the game had a way to determine where their forces were in their little safe spots or behind grids, we would have kicked their ass out of fountain eons ago. Perhaps that particular aspect of the game mechanics needs to change, because the advantage is always with the attacker, regardless of numbers.

My expert opinion is that I've put 50+ hours patrolling FA while you guys sat in system.
I've experienced 4 battles in that time, thats it. BORING.

I guess you guys dont see my point I am trying to make here, I just think if there was some sort of a change to the gameplay mechanics, alot of the "Lame" tactics would not have to happen on both sides and perhaps the flames on the boards could die down a bit.
Say for instance, a long range scanner service in the station for the group who has military superiority which details exactly where an armada is, it would discourage logging, and the guerilla tactics. Let's say the scanner only works on large objects like battleships.
It would make the "ownership" of the regions a little more realistic rather than the guerilla war it has become between both sides currently.
It would put the "Fleet" back into fleet battles.

Otherwise in the fights I've been a part of, they are totally awesome whether we win or lose, its just the 60 hours of stark terrorizing boredom that I can't stand...

Edited by: BobGhengisKhan on 20/01/2004 04:44:47 My point is that you can avoid that boredom if you guys would just have a couple battles with even odds. Very frequently when its 2 to 1 odds and you wont fight we're forced to take an hour or 2 break in the hope that you'll get the needed 4 to 1 and come out.
I don't know if I like that scanner idea, really. Why should you be able to narrow down where a ship is down to 20k when its 70 AU away

oh boy...
I am for real, thanks for your input however.
Whats wrong with the scanner idea? Well its just an idea to bring a little less lameness into the game. I feel that if one side has military superiority, they should be able to effectively kick out whomever, otherwise, we both have to resort to the same lame tactics that have permeated the entire duration of this so called invasion. If I remember correctly, one of m00's reasons came in to effectively demonstrate that nobody can control any region.
How CCP could do code something to that effect I dont know. Player owned stations is probably a great start however.
as for you Miz... *sigh* I am not here to get into a flame war, if you want to start one, you may as well write it to yourself, because I am not listening.

So what you want is that if one group has 50 battleships and the other 49 then those 49 are either forced to leave by game mechanics or thier ships will just explode as soon as they jump to the system?
Sometimes invading forces have more peaple online, does that mean all FA forces should be forced to undock or leave the region?
This is EVE, PVP is based on tactics, not numbers.
I used an alt and made a corp with few of my friends and declared war on Dark Empire (about 157 members at the time) many months ago, we attacked them in Penirgman and keept on attacking until they were forced to relocate to a new home system, sure we lost few cruisers but killed alot with hit and run tactics so we basicly won the war, they were forced to move and my old corp Tycho heavy got a bigger share of the market in Domain.
According to your theory we would never had been able to declare the war and would never have been able to attack them, because they had more ships every time.
Thus wars are useless since you will loose if you dont have more numbers than your enemy.

This is another flaw imo, characters with low skills and cruisers have no problems killing battleships. Thus by engaging in a war with cruisers, only one side can actually lose anything. Look at the nubbies.

It is what i predicted some weeks ago: As soon as the NVA would fall and the claim of the region was taken over by FE, the FE would march right towards another region.
Starting the board flaming and catfights from the start.
And here we are now, not one week since NVA has fallen FE forces marched into Fountain to claim yet another region?
Makes you wonder why most of eve community don't give a damn about the boards eh? __________________________

I think alot of ppl are spoiled by other games they have played,this attitude that "were the bigger alliance,with more ships, therefore > u and therefore we should win" is gotten from them and when they play eve they are shocked at how much more open/risky it is then anything they have played before.
Its similar to the crying we had widespread when eve was 1st released, ppl been used to DAOC type's where "omg im lvl 25 ur only 21 therefore I win" and when they came to eve "omg im in an apoc with 8 guns doing ubber dmg per second, im gonna smoke you, lol, then 2 crusiers come out (a fraction of its cost) with tactics and solid loadouts and blow it up and they cry its not fair", in eve if your stupid you can loose the lot in minutes, ppl like the above, they want safety nets so they can fall too far,they want fixed things to hold an area, and the bigger force should win.
BOLLOX, this is what i love about eve, you can engage a force at 2-1 odds against and still come out on top. You can use tactics and bring an alliance which taught it was unbreakable only a week before to its knees.crusiers and frigs been able to take out BS. Where tactics can win a battle or war not just numbers.

Paddyman, there are no n00bs in this war, so no need to make the old "tactics over numbers" point...
Let's address the real problem instead shall we, namely that even with your "superior" tactics and our "superior" numbers, there's over half a day of idle waiting between any engagement of importance. This isn't due to any of the parties involved being more or less "chicken", "cowards", "uber" or "l33t", but more due to the fact that finding eachother is close to impossible.
So, in conclusion to this, a tool that would make it possible to both find and warp to the proximity of an enemy anywhere in a system, would be a good way to start in the process of enabling players to actually control space.
The way things work now is just boring.
Oh, and:

I don't see any allaince being on it's knees atm, and furthermore, the only ones having claimed to be unbreakable as far as i can recall are... well... m0o.

Alkad i never mentioned n00bs, and this post is not just directed at FA, and its a very important point that tactics should win over larger numbers, and if one day the FA goes to war with a number of regional allaicnes at once you will be glad of it aswell.
This may seem as a dig but the truth is alot of the times you complain about been waiting and waiting for 1 few minute battle IS because the FA has been waiting for a good numerical advantage before attacking, your members have already stated this and of course you's are going to use it, its your best tactical advantage.When m0o have been too badly outnumbered we use hit and run tactics. That is the disadvantage of having so many numbers, straglers get picked off.
The problem of not been able to find someone at a safe spot is been addressed, Tomb has already told us that he is bringing a recon frigate class ship in that will have the ability. but It aint going top change much imo, if the recon warps in, gank it and warp elsewhere, by the time the fleet gets to you, you will be at another location.
And ok the part about been on ur knees was a little much soz.

Even though hiding spots in mid-space were mentioned, let's not forget that many forces tend to be just docked at the station, waiting for their reinforcements to arrive so they can undock?
With the ability of players being online throughout the 23-hour EVE day, whether it's a.m. your time or p.m. my time, it's rather remarkable to see that pirate forces have limited the 'safe' FA space to less than a few hours (10% if you wish) per day.
The problem seems to be one of CONTROL ("influence", "manipulate", "dominate", "oppress", "have a hold over") or lack thereof. Thus, no need to cry foul or blame game mechanics in that department.

I agree, it remains to be seen wether this will be useful at all, but at least it's a step in the right direction. Removing the very concept of being secure in hostile space (wether you're attacker or defender) can only add to the dynamics of EVE warfare - i can't wait :-)

That's fine my friend, if your stance is that of a PVP'er with no other goals than to, well... PVP :-)
However, the issue of territorial control is one of importance for anyone aspiring to secure a chunk of space for their alliance, or to effectively errr... relieve another alliance the burden of controlling theirs.
And that's where your definition of control fails, from your wiewpoint, it doesn't really matter who "controls" space, as long as you can stay there and do your fighting - which under the current scheme of things you can.
I'm not suggesting they make it harder for you PVP'ers to get your kicks, i'm merely asking for tools to make PVP and warfare more interesting in general. Surely, you can agree that sitting at your BM for hours every night isn't that much of a kick? :-)
Btw, who's crying foul? ________________________________________________

One way to solve this problem is to make it where your ship will stay in space if you log off unless you are docked in a station. I mean, what kind of technology allows a ship in space to totally vanish from space besides cloaking? If you cannot dock at a station, you float in space regardless or not if you are logged on. Problem solved.
Also, we should have the ability to place sentry guns.

Edited by: Aerick Dawn on 20/01/2004 18:42:04 I can see the flaws in my arguement. I do agree tactics should win the day, I just wish that there was an "easier" and "quicker" way to have contact.
A battleship in a solar system should be detectable "anywhere" say by a recon class ship, considering we have the technology currently to detect large objects, you would think 10000 years later or whatever the tech should be better..
I dont mind an hour of boredom for 20 seconds of terror, but hours upon hours sort of takes the fun out of the pvp aspect of the game.
Otherwise, dont fret m00, I'm not slammin ya, we are doing the same thing to you, and your frustration is becoming evident as well.
/sidenote on I kick butt at thread hijacking.

This is EVE, PVP is based on tactics, not numbers.
I used an alt and made a corp with few of my friends and declared war on Dark Empire (about 157 members at the time) many months ago, we attacked them in Penirgman and keept on attacking until they were forced to relocate to a new home system, sure we lost few cruisers but killed alot with hit and run tactics so we basicly won the war, they were forced to move and my old corp Tycho heavy got a bigger share of the market in Domain.
According to your theory we would never had been able to declare the war and would never have been able to attack them, because they had more ships every time.
Thus wars are useless since you will loose if you dont have more numbers than your enemy.
Think it through.
As a historical note, I don't think your alt corp attacks 'forced' DE to move from Penirgman. The corp dropped out of marketing primarily because the margins stunk and the players that ran the manufacturing operations in high sec empire quit . Not to downplay the annoyance factor, you definately killed miners and shut down AFK mining in that area(yay).
Fighting alt corps is a huge pain, your only chance to catch them is when they attack you. They have no operations of their own to go after, and you can't camp them. It's possible to beat them militarily, but it is dead simple to create an alt war to make someone's mining/hauling operations much less efficient. One of the many questionable war tactics which promted TomB to shake up that system.

If there is a frigate available to scan there should always be a counter for that scan. The whole cloaking thing is not going to do it. From what I have heard the cloaked ship is basicly useless for fighting because of the power needed for the cloak. But just a long range sensor electronic counter-measure wouldn't need to be a cloak. Slots are valuable on ships and one taken up by another piece of electronic warefare is an even trade. |
