Hakuriu Blue Sun Security Blue Sun Trust	Posted - 2007.10.15 17:52:00 - [1] As time passes, we are seeing more and more motherships in lowsec, a disturbing development in and of itself, concerning how close to impossible they are to combat. In recent weeks, there have been more and more instances of multiple motherships camping together... culminating in a battle yesterday that pretty much takes the cake, as far as I'm aware. 4 Red Alliance motherships and a TITAN took out a myrmidon in the Heild system of Molden Heath yesterday. Linkage Pretty hilarious overkill, and the target was a well known local pirate, so no tears shed there. But I do find the presence of a titan in low sec very disturbing, especially so close to home. It's been said many times before that lowsec is already out of balance from a risk vs. reward perspective in relation to 0.0, but the increasing presence of supercaps, if it continues to become more prevalent, makes it even less likely that corps will choose to set up operations in lowsec. If you're taking that level of risk anyway, why not just move to 0.0 and get the rewards as well? The main question (to get to the point) is what is CCP doing to fix the balance of lowsec in order to ensure further population of these areas? Should supercaps (especially titans) be able to fly freely just a jump away from Concord patrolled Empire space? Will viceroyalties ever come into the game and allow some level of protection or mitigation from these risks?

Dahin Maza Nostra oooh Shiny	Posted - 2007.10.15 17:57:00 - [3] Edited by: Dahin on 15/10/2007 17:58:12 you're complaining about the imbalance between hisec and losec? People keep telling me "I gotta go to empire to make some money. I'll be back in a week". Even tho they are sitting in a quite rich and relatevely peacefull portion of 0.0 Hell, the only reason my corp resides in 0.0 is to shoot people, the money we make in empire. So yeah... The problem are the ridiculously ludicrous opportunities in empire that slowly became such by endless years of carebear whining.

Sadayiel Caldari Dragon Highlords THE R0NIN	Posted - 2007.10.15 17:58:00 - [5] the only trouble is that ppl dare to risk a capital on low sec due the tank can easily hold the gates dmg, it would be funny if ccp decide to add some Capital turrets as empire defense against hostile capitals. would be quite fun face a gate pwn a capital ship

No, I'm basically pointing out that with warp bubbles being the only main difference between lowsec and 0.0 from a risk perspective... what's the value of lowsec?

The problem are the ridiculously ludicrous opportunities in empire that slowly became such by endless years of carebear whining. You see, the reasons for the Quote: ridiculously ludicrous opportunities in empire is exactly Quote: my corp resides in 0.0 is to shoot peopl . Your first idea of 0.0 is "Let's kill anything that move". That include killing any option of a economically rewarding 0.0. He is mining: kill him He is ratting: kill him He is hauling: kill him So you hope to make isk from Player against Player combat, but that kind of activity is always a negative sum activity. Indipendently from who whin, at the end between all the partecipants there is a lesser isk worth of items than before. Your choice, so don't whine about the results.
Paulo Damarr	Posted - 2007.10.15 18:18:00 - [9] Being ganked by 4 motherships and a titan would be strangely epic but horribly frustrating. But the OP is right it just makes people less likely to brave low sec. /sig --->Enter at your own risk<---

Carriers provide a vital logistical link between Empire and 0.0 bases, and dreads and carriers both are vital to low sec POS security. I just don't feel that supercaps make sense in lowsec.

I just don't feel that supercaps make sense in lowsec. about logicstic, when they add this jumpdrive freighters, its use will be gone, as for security, you dont need cariers and dreads to protect your pos in low sec because you wont be attacked by cariers and dreads in low sec if they are not allowed there ( just like high sec;)) ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- BB

Curryzia Kinwurry	Posted - 2007.10.15 19:00:00 - [19] I lol'd. I spend quite a bit of time in 0.4-3 systems, so this could make the future quite interesting.
Hakuriu Blue Sun Security Blue Sun Trust	Posted - 2007.10.15 19:07:00 - [20] Originally by: iiOs about logicstic, when they add this jumpdrive freighters, its use will be gone, as for security, you dont need cariers and dreads to protect your pos in low sec because you wont be attacked by cariers and dreads in low sec if they are not allowed there ( just like high sec;)) Valid arguments, and the jump freighters do change the dynamic a bit. However, I personally don't see carriers and dreads as necessarily being overpowered in lowsec and I feel they do play well into the risk/reward equation. It makes sense to have a few more ship choices (caps) as a tradeoff to risking lowsec, and a few more (supercaps/interdictors) for braving 0.0. The majority of PvPers dream of flying a carrier or dread someday, which is a good incentive for moving into lowsec.

Vladimir Norkoff Income Redistribution Service The Gurlstas Associates	Posted - 2007.10.15 19:31:00 - [23] Supercaps have no place in low sec if the tools necessary to stop them are not permitted there. Personally, I think allowing dictor bubbles into low sec would be a mistake. So getting rid of supercaps is probably the best solution. While it is true that a mothership can be killed in lowsec without a bubble, it doesn't necessarily make it balanced. The amount of planning required by x13 to pull off that kill was (by all reports) quite large, the target was rather predictable, and it took a few tries. One kill doesn't prove the point that motherships are balanced in lowsec, it only proves that somebody went to extreme lengths to kill one. Taxman III: Attack of the Blob

Hakuriu Blue Sun Security Blue Sun Trust	Posted - 2007.10.15 20:10:00 - [27] Originally by: Alski - have fun trying to repair the tower and all its guns without carrier support before it comes out of reinforced Exactly. Originally by: Alski Btw, capitals are currentley restricted from highsec due to the inability of being able to deploy a cyno field there, if you ban capitals from lowsec you ban jump-freighters too. This does beg the question of what game mechanic and/or RP/storyline device updates would be necessary to ban supercaps from lowsec. Side question: so can doomsday devices be fired in lowsec?
waferzankko Bears Inc	Posted - 2007.10.15 20:13:00 - [28] they have alot of risk man, what 35b per super cap? the risk maybe small but it is still there.

It's not about the risk/reward for the supercap pilots, it's about the other 99.99% of current or prospective inhabitants who don't have the capability to defend against them. It's not like the motherships and titans are there for the minerals or lvl 5 agents.

I just don't feel that supercaps make sense in lowsec. supercaps er vital to logistics as well, escpecially for corps with lots of sec status > -5 members. The only one whining about supercaps, are the one's without em. The many engagement in lowsec we did in carriers, we didnt loose the carriers lowsec is lowsec for a reason. learn to adapt. In a few months, you wont be able to engage a 5 man camp, with 3 people, without 25 blackops bs spawning right on top of you.. If you guys really think supercaps in lowsec is a problem, you will be in for a surprise shortly. it's about to get even worse. and the 20ish scaps in lowsec wont be the problem. and... there's no such thing as balance and/or fairness in eve. dosnt exist. period.

Kerfira	Posted - 2007.10.31 23:41:00 - [42] Easy fix... Just disable the mommyship EW immunity in low-sec..... The Titan in the described RA camp is a bit puzzling though as it afaik is not allowed to use its DDD in low-sec. Most likely they were doing a jump-bridge hauling op and wanted to lockdown the system while doing so.
