1st fight. who is the nanogang? 2nd fight. see they had to out blob you 19 to 5 to win this one..
and please please refrain from posting additional kb stats they prove nothing anyway..
1. Us obviously 2. No they didn't blob us...we engaged them. That is what nano gangs are good for...remember. This blob knew what it was doing and had a goof FC.
And yes of course KB stats prove nothing We should just take your work for it.
How about you back up some of your remarks with statistics. So far.."nanos are bad, cause I can't kill every ship in my BS" is the best you got
nanos are bad because there is NO counter available to my ship or any other ship out there (except for the huginn in combination with a tackler) resulting in a nanos destruction.
A rokh would make short notice of any nanoship. Even for my crow, 250 Km is still a bit much to cover... But if you doubt we could certainly show you how it's done

Or NOS..or neuts...or tracking disruptors, or jamming, or a fast ship
You are right....no counter
this does not kill it. you still need to be withing 10k web rang (and have luck that his inertia does not push him out of web range).
all couners you listed just make him move away but dont kill him..

I agree, speed tanking is a balanced and fun part of the game, but snakes might push it a little over the top.
To be fair though, they are amazingly expensive.

Meh- I think Vagas and 0mgfast inties are a typical case where a "slight" nerf is in order without screwing up the entire concept.
Slight "nerf" as in a even steeper curve of diminishing returns after hitting 6k ms. -

Originally by: MITSUK0 ECM drones, heavy neuts, overheated webs, piloting skill, interceptors, remote tanking/logistics, co-ordinated flying, weapons capable of dealing damage out to ~26km, killing drones first.
Those are just a few counters, some work solo, some work for gangs, all of them work when you do it right.
Also if a nano ship attacks you at a gate you allways have the option to de-agress and leave. If a vaga is shooting you then transversal is low and you can shoot back. If an ishtar/curse is orbiting you, kill his drones.
The fight will not allways result in a killmail but saying there are no counters to speed setups is stupid. You suck.
ECM drones: do not kill him (warps off) heavy neuts: dont kill him (warps off) overheated webs: vaga does not need to overload his modules either.. piloting skill: only works if you are fast aswell (thus another vaga) interceptors: vaga does not have to relay on a interceptor either. remote tanking/logistics: does not kill the vaga (warps off) co-ordinated flying: imbalanced because you need at least 2 to kill 1. weapons capable of dealing damage out to ~26km: does not kill a vaga (he warps off).

balance will only ever be achived if they introduce a module forcing a vaga to commit to a fight. as long as such module is not available (or only in form of the combination of 2 other ships) the ship and the idea of flying fast is broken. its not that you would die to every ship everyday.. (lets say a specialized module reaching out far enough to be able to catch up on you) but you wont have granted succes (on form of a killmail or escape) everytime you face a enemy/prey!
no it wouldnt be the end of the nanofag. but you could LOSE your ship.. so eventough you use your cookycutter setup ther could be a mean guy fitting especially just to blow you to pieces..
thats pvp.

That wouldn't be possible, because it detriments all ships, as well as yourself cause now you'll have to have the dang module on.
---------------The Low Sec Issue------------- Gatecamps that kill all who pass with no remorse and in many cases, no possible way of retaliation, is not PVP. |

its not that you only fight nanos he whole day so usualy you wold probably fit a webber instead.. at least it would add some spice to the nano pilots life.

Only to find out the battleship also happened to carry a domi scram that just overheated to 36km.
Quote: overheated webs: vaga does not need to overload his modules either..
Overheating is a TOOL, thats like saying drakes dont need to fit a shield booster and can passive tank is imba because I do on my maelstrom. Really makes a lot of sense.
Quote: piloting skill: only works if you are fast aswell (thus another vaga)
Try formation flying instead of lock primary f1-f8.
Quote: interceptors: vaga does not have to relay on a interceptor either.
And the vaga needs gangmates to break anything remotely tanked. I guess battleships are imba cause they dont need another gangmate to do omgwtfdps.
Quote: remote tanking/logistics: does not kill the vaga (warps off)
You put the remote rep on the huginn.
Quote: co-ordinated flying: imbalanced because you need at least 2 to kill 1.
I guess then every force recon is imba(you need 2 to kill 1), and ecm is imba, I'd like to see you solo a scorpion or a rook/falcon, or an arazu, lachesis.... get my point?
You forgot one, overheated faction webs, webs out to 20km, pretty ******* useful, you only need to be moderately fast. Vaga orbitting you at 17km? Mwd towards him and hit the web, he will NOT be able to get away. signature removed - please email us to find out why (include a link to the image URL) - Jacques([email protected]) |

I'm not reading the entire thread to see if this was pointed out, but most of the "good" ceptors can outrun a vaga setup like this. I can fit a claw to outdo that for 1/3 the price of a vaga hull alone. In fact that's not even "that" fast for a vaga, I've seen several going faster than that. Just accept that certain minmatar ships are going to go insanely fast and counter it appropriately. See what happens if a huginn pops up nearby, that vaga will run the opposite direction as fast as possible because he knows he would be toast against it. Of course a vaga can outrun your lol ratting raven, that's the point of the ship.
Also of note, the claw and the sabre can both track and hit with autocannons at maximum speed, some people seem to think otherwise. Not sure about the vaga because I don't fly one (yet), but those two can definitely hit while orbitting with a MWD on. ----------------

WRONG. Lets say you fit 2 ECCM(the most paranoid setup ever that gimps u against everything else), you can kick a muninn's sensor str to 50. On a rook you have around 13.5 jam str/racial, with just 3 racials the rook has a a 62% chance to jam you, more if he wants to toss more racials on or had some multispecs. signature removed - please email us to find out why (include a link to the image URL) - Jacques([email protected]) |

Edited by: Chr0nosX on 29/10/2007 22:03:00 I <3 my nano ishtar though. It's called a Huginn or Rapier - one or two mixed in with other ships will kill a nano gang, dead. Another counter is being introduced soon - the mini EW frigate and neuts also can kill easily a nano ships cap.

Ok, then in this debate from now you are forbidden from talking about 10km vagas, since those requires snakes/faction mods.
Quote:

Says who? Anybody can overheat if they have the skill for it. 
Quote:

Rook, solo it with a hac, just try.
And you can solo a vaga with many ships. Nano-huginn, or another hac with a faction web that surprised it.
I've seen a macheriel solo a vaga that didnt realize it had a faction web. Overheated to 20km, got webbed and neuted instantly, dead vaga.

Dude, a counter is to avoid dying....
As was stated, you will not die in decent BS to a solo Vaga...he cant hit you hard enough.
Hence the nano gangs I can't kill a 3 month old guy in a T1 fitted drake if he trained right, despite the fact I trained for a year solid to fly vaga.
It's not always about the killing...the drake lived...he countered me 
You seem to want to be able to KILL everything, but without looking at your history, I am sure you understand the game a bit better than that.
Yes we fly nano gangs, but when it comes down to it..we still need BS to dish out the damage. Speed hacs are great but can only kill, badly tanked, badly skilled ships.
So what if they run away....that is a counter, you made it go away, you defended your system or whatever

You still havent proven how you can kill a rook yet, lets start with that first before you get ahead of yourself.

Edited by: Flinx Evenstar on 29/10/2007 22:15:49 I agree with the BOB guy...snakes do indeed need to be nerfed...they need a price nerf 
So...like around 2bil to fly a fully fitted snaked up vaga...and you wonder why it is good Thats around 8BS worth of ship, it doesn't do the dps of 8BS, it doesn't tank like 8BS
It doesn't even go 8 times faster than a MWD mega....but the pilot is putting his isk where is mouth is. Your job is to kill him. And yes it can be done with around 300mil solo

Boring nano life they allow us to fight against stupid odds
You are the one that thinks that all ships should do the same speed and slug it out on a gate. Get an imagination, and you just might be able to kill a nano ship.
You chose your char and skills. Sometimes I would love the ability to ALWAYS hit, but I dont begrudge those pilots that trained for missile specialization.
Jesus, you want everyone to sit and activate tank while pressing F1-8
Nano ships require a lot of attention to fly. Drunk nano gangs get slaughtered Drunk tanking ships...well it dont matter, they can go afk to the fridge, and the tank still works

There is no way a vaga can kill a deimos unless the deimos is ratting. It can simply wait out the agro timer and dock/jump.

Vague handwavium. Give me a setup or stfu. Damps and lots of eccm? What ship are you flying that has so many mids? You mentioned the muninn and the deimos, those have THREE mids. Thats 1 eccm, 1 mwd, and 1 disruptor, thats assuming you dont use a web.

Ive been playing MMORPG's since UO's launch too now and have tried many different games since then. When People get this worked up over a Nerf X thread trying too defend whatever the OP wants nerfed it usually ends up in a Nerf'd because it is in fact Imbalanced in someway. The Vaga needs too either be nerfed, Cruisers speeds have diminishing returns as they get faster or something. From a Game design its a bit much, however Im going too hold off on the Nerf Nano's bit and wait until the expansion comes out and see if thiers Long Range Web'r before I decide this games broke and move on.

i agree seems quite difficult to put a setup togetter that works 100%. on the other hand how many soloing rooks do you see compared to vagas?
