But then these supers come in and screw it all up. They belong in hardcore EVE land AKA null. Where you can have hardcore Tech moon incomes and hardcore 1000 man fleet battles using your hardcore 30-60 billion ISK supers.
See, the problem here is that what you have stated is not a fact, but a matter of opinion.
I think we can agree that low-sec should be an area for small-medium sized groups of people doing their thing, and that null-sec is the place for large empire building groups to do their thing.
But that is a completely different matter than whether supers should be allowed to be offensive in low-sec or not.
In a fictional ideal world, only the small to medium sized groups living low-sec could use them in low-sec, but not the huge null sec alliances. But, that is completely unworkable, so obviously not a solution.
I guess what I'm saying is, if that super was just 1 super, you should have been able to either GTFO or kill it. So in that regard, you guys failed for loosing your caps.
But in reality, there were probably more supers waiting from wherever that one jumped from, waiting for him to call for help. Hell, maybe he was even bait for an escalation.
So yea, it sucks, but not a whole lot that can be done about it. I guess, you will have to , well, adapt or something.
edit:
Since you will inevitably ask how you could have done better, let me help.
1) Bring in a carrier at range and try to save the dread. Probably a bad idea, since WN. super prolly has friends.
2) Bring in logistics ships and try to keep the dread alive. You had 3 bs pilots, they should have logistics ships nearby, surely. Or you could carrier them over to a station, etc.
3) Bring a bumping ship. Maybe something with an oversized AB. Bump your dread the **** out of the way.
4) Don't leave your darn cyno up after cynoing in. Use something cheap and blow it up afterwards. No need for you to put a big bright spot on the map showing you had 1 up. You do know that solar system map shows active cyno's, right? If had a super and was bored, I would look for all the stationless systems with cynos up. |
