They could care less that it is the nonshiny fleet types that are suffering the most from these interdiction and extortion. They wont be able to complete many sites being without being contested by shiny fleet after shiny fleet. Then again that is pure joy for some of those fools.
Yep, this has been my experience. Our fleet is mostly newer players in T1s with some Basilisks and a Loki thrown in. Yesterday we managed to do only three sites uncontested. The rest of the time we got out DPSed by shiny fleets who got the ISK and moved on.
Oh well, back to wormholes I go. Let me know when you guys get bored of taking down the mother ships. By then I might have the skills to allow me to carebear more competitively.  |

I joined a toon to a null corp. I fly a drake while most fly T2's. We got hotdropped by PL in capitals.. I can't fly one. That's not fair, let me whine on the forums how i am going back to HS. Nothing wrong with T1 ships in incursions if they fitted properly and the fleet is FC'd well. maelstrom's, abbadon's and hyperions can put out decent dps. Its knowing the mechanics that wins the contest, not always the shiny ship.
Not sure what your point is? I was agreeing with the previous poster that now the number of available incursion sites has been cut, mostly T1 fleets can't out-DPS the shiny fleets. Before this we were doing totally OK without the shiny. Not raking in some of the ISK that's been reported on the forum but we weren't losing ships and it was better ISK than missioning. Plus it was good to have 10+ players doing something together as a team. Yesterday on the other hand we only got about three sites where we didn't have another fleet warp in and grab the ISK because they killed more Sansha than we could. The incursion interdiction is largely going unnoticed by the shiny fleets right now.
For me as a mostly carebear player the best option is to go back to doing wormholes. That's not whining, it's a factual statement. |

I want EVERYONE to enjoy Eve online. This includes hisec. Everyone must make money. I only want the ISK vs Work/Risk equation to be more balanced. I dont think that's an unfair request, but is being a pirate and attacking defenseless transports and helpless miners really that risky? I dont think it is. I havnt once been killed by a griefer that I posed any conceivable threat too. In fact, every time I've ever lost a ship it's been to someone far more skilled, equipped, and powerful then myself. What risk?!?!?!?!
I guess something like this could always happen. |
