what i see here is a bunch of people with vested interest in slow blobed up pvp, crying that more talented pilots are avoiding blobs/lag/death buy using a LEGITIMATE and INTENDED tool in the game. Being velocity and transversal.
Just like to point out at this juncture that nanoships generally don't have the firepower to kill anything if they AREN'T blobbed, so as a matter of necessity they are forced to blob. Unless you're flying an officer/faction fitted mach you're not soloing anything tanked in a nanoship unless it's tanking rats too (NPCers).
Whereas tanked ships have plenty of damage to break another tanked ship solo.
Not that I'm arguing against nanos, I'm just saying you're wrong about nano being the only option left to soloers today. I do nothing but solo and when I tried nanoships I couldn't get ANY kills. People just laughed at me and waited for me to leave when I started shooting em.
EDIT: Fixed minigins colors o7

"unless they blob"?  
Reading comprehension? Why are you repeating what I just said to refute me?

CCP please nerf nanos and everything else remotely useful for small gang and solo pvp. Then we can get back to complaining only about laggy fleet battles and carebears refusing to leave high sec.
Nanoships (nanohacs leastways, the few BS still nanoable are an exception) are not the combat to the blob. They do crappy DPS solo cept the ishtar whose drones can easily be killed. The only people they kill solo are ratters not tanked to their damagetypes or untanked ships. They are, in fact, the blob that can run away from the bigger blob. They encourage blobbing both because they are useless alone and also because when they are around you need a 3-1 ratio just to kill a few of em. All the strategies I've seen on taking them out involve 2-3 ships to take out the one nanoed ship. In fact one thread over Rells just proposed a strategy to take out a single Vagabond with 10 ships to support his hypothesis that they are balanced.

Best players in tactical FPS's tend to be military people working together as a team.
Yeah, right. In all my years of following competitive shooters I've never seen anybody from the military win 1st at any big money national tourney. What game/team are you talking about? I guess I don't follow many teams below top 16-32 in any given league, so if you didn't really mean best players, just decent ones...
