Amantus Gallente Murientor Tribe	Posted - 2007.08.28 15:02:00 - [1] Edited by: Amantus on 28/08/2007 15:04:12 Edited by: Amantus on 28/08/2007 15:03:29 Having been unable to get onto Sisi to test the changes, I've just tried my Blockade Runner on Tranquility with the agility boost. And what a difference it's made! While not quite at the somewhat imbalanced interceptor-level aligning speeds they were before the nano nerf, They get to warp very speedily now. I, as I'm sure many other people as well, will be dusting off my blockade runner and using it as often as I used to. Thanks again, CCP! Edited for typo eradication ------------

Ismern GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2007.08.28 20:14:00 - [9] Blockade runners are still catchable, they're just harder to capture than other ships. They're designed to not be caught by a single frigate, and to have a decent chance at escaping from bubbles (especially with the new bubble mechanics). A blockade runner jumping into a bubble camp can either try to burn out of the bubble, risking getting webbed and/or having a second bubble dropped on them or try to make it back to the gate, risking getting webbed by fast locking frigates and/or Huginns/Rapiers. Anchored bubbles, however, will still probably spell certain death for a blockade runner (i.e. warps into the anchored bubble). These ships were designed for 0.0 transport. The main tactics against it are, of course, only available in 0.0 space. However, a few fast locking ships with disruptors can still catch it. ----------------------------------------------------------- The winners of EVE have spoken. Let's all quit GoonSwarm and go to Empire while we still have some ISK left.

Then it would be better (in the bubble camp scenario) for the blockade runner (in this case, a Crane) to be able to fit a T2 MWD without having to put in reactor controls in the lows. So boost the power grid on the Crane, for example. Yes, I see your point - in low sec camps, if there aren't at least a few tacklers, and more shooters, the blockade runner is going to turn and warp before anyone can blow it up. ------------------ "Don't be afraid to take advantage of your enemy's weaknesses.

trivit Caldari Shadow Command	Posted - 2007.08.29 14:50:00 - [12] Me likey. I think I'll have to finish that industrail v skill now. This babies sound nearly impervious to all but the slickest camps in low sec (not 0.0). Looking forward to using one of these!!!
gordon861 Minmatar Head Insurance Services	Posted - 2007.08.29 15:16:00 - [13] Edited by: gordon861 on 29/08/2007 15:16:14 Let us have Blockade Runners with a bonus to MWD per level, something like 5% less penalty on the fitting of a MWD per level. That would let us really run a blockade. Originally by: CCP Arkanon I frown on employees being power players to the extent that their gameplay results in any sort of domination over others. I donÆt believe CCP employees should run the EVE universe.
Ismern GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2007.08.29 15:21:00 - [14] Hmm, I fly a Viator so I have no issue fitting a T2 10mn MWD. Not sure what it's like for the other races. ----------------------------------------------------------- The winners of EVE have spoken.

Corphus Aliastra	Posted - 2007.08.29 16:19:00 - [15] Edited by: Corphus on 29/08/2007 16:19:52 i never set a foot inside a blockade runner before. so how do those ships behave? -what are ur chances if u land inside a bubble after jump or warp in a bubble camp. -how fast do u get out of the bubble or how fast do u reach the gate ? -is it likeley to survive if u have a dictor bubbled camp to pass or will u get bbqed in the face ?

A corp mate was reporting last night that it's nearly impossible to get a lock on the blockade runner he was testing with (a Prowler, I believe) before it got back to the gate. Obviously lag, bouncing off the gate, the gatecamp having the presence of mind to have a dictor jump back through with you could all screw you up. Seems that if you're smart about how you fly, you're pretty safe, even in 0.0. ----- "I like to loot, especially going to the can of the battleship, sometimes there is a surprise inside, sometimes there is only carp..."

Seems that if you're smart about how you fly, you're pretty safe, even in 0.0. In low sec, before this agility buff, if I had two beta i-stabs, I could jump, align and warp before most small camps (2 to 3 bs/bc) could do anything. Most low sec camps aren't alert for someone who jumps in and immediately cloaks, then aligns, uncloaks, and warps. Even when they have more ships. Now, that said, every once in a while, you run into a well run camp (like last week) - where there are about 10 ships, and they immediately spot the flicker of you cloaking, converge on you, and have more than enough to scram, web, and blow you up before you can say anything. ------------------ "Don't be afraid to take advantage of your enemy's weaknesses.

Kazuma Saruwatari	Posted - 2007.08.29 16:58:00 - [18] I was hoping the blockade runners would get their boost, and so I planned ahead in EVEmon. Now that blockade runners are useful again, looks like I wont have to drastically change half my plan. Thank you CCP :D - Odd Pod Out, a blog of EVE Online
Electric Fox	Posted - 2007.08.29 18:34:00 - [19] would be nice to have a roof rack module to squeeze a litte extra cargo on board. Guess that would be hi slot.
Yanjul Slagenhoffen NovaeDyne Industries Frontier Trade League	Posted - 2007.08.29 19:02:00 - [20] Originally by: Ismern Edited by: Ismern on 29/08/2007 15:30:29 Edited by: Ismern on 29/08/2007 15:28:43 Hmm, I fly a Viator so I have no issue fitting a T2 10mn MWD. Not sure what it's like for the other races. EDIT: Ok, took a look at EFT. It seems you Crane pilots are screwed. :P You can field a better tank, but you have to fit a Reactor control even to fit a Named MWD and anything else. The rest of the races are fine. Minmatar can't fit a T2 MWD, but it doesn't need to. However, regarding the Crane, it should probably get another few grid, but not enough to fit a T2. If it gets enough to fit a T2, then you get the benefits of the T2 MWD AND the added ability to tank which makes it unbalanced. However, it should be able to fit a named MWD and its tank as well. While this is true, we can at least fit an RCU instead of an inertia due to the boost now. But with MWD you cant fit the Crane for HP buffer. Can't have it all I guess. This was a good change though much appreciated CCP.
Imperator Jora'h	Posted - 2007.08.29 19:09:00 - [21] Agreed. Thanks CCP! Glad these got a bit of their life back. Now I just need to remember where I stashed my Viator.

Infact I think it's even better then the good old shuttle. To top it off it has a ****load of more cargo hold for you to carry your stuff in. Just a small side note though, the Sabre does have 4 med slots. Have a nice flight gentleman to the deepspace cookies'

James Lyrus Lyrus Associates Betrayal Under Mayhem	Posted - 2007.08.29 21:28:00 - [25] Just ... please please please. 4 more powergrid on the Crane. MWDs are nice, and having to use grid mods, because otherwise you can fit nothing else, is just pain.
