To be perfectly honest, when you told me T1 frigs would be getting looked at I assumed you were simply trying to get me to leave your AF thread alone.  I was very happy to hear CCP seeks to keep us competitive.

I very much like hearing this. I've felt for a long time that rebalancing the T1 frigates and cruisers without looking at the Problem With Non-T2 Modules is a waste of effort. One has only to look at the Armor Plate modules to see how completely out of whack things are (i.e., why do we even have anything besides rolled-tungsten?).

Now I'm close to ******* cheering. If you cannot get them out of their little safe hidey-places, would you be willing to propose to CCP a simple 'Pilot was in Gang" yes/no on the killmail? If you're into the solo fighting scene, it really sucks not knowing if you fought well but lost to a boosted opponent, or fought badly. The effects of booster alts is considerable when two ships of the same type face off, and in a semi-crowded system it becomes impossible to tell if someone's boosted.
Same question I asked Seleene: I d-scanned a Rifter in a belt in lowsec, and warped to that belt at range. I aligned for the planet, and after allowing time for the pilot to see where I was going, I warped there. The other Rifter followed and we fought.
Given the circumstances, we both wanted to fight. One of us took a GCC and lost security status. Eventually that pilot will have to start shooting little red crosses or suffer the consequences of 'going pirate'. On this occasion, it was me. Perhaps tomorrow it will be him.
Why are we punished for seeking combat? Is this working as intended or something you feel needs fixing?
