Love how everyone's all like "GOONS DON'T HAVE SUPERCAPS SO THIS IS BLATANTLY TO HELP THEM"

http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=11911041 - Yes, they DO have supercaps.

This is hardly "kowtowing" to them - this affects EVERYONE for the better. It gives smaller alliances a chance to get more space and get bigger, and it brings down the mega war-machine of the big alliances.

I do find it interesting that Andski wrote this about the upcoming nerf allready on february 24th:

At this point the only information given by CCP was that tracking titans were looked into. And Andski has been vehemently opposed to Titans tracking anything smaller than a battleship. The tracking nerf is one thing, but it is the scanres nerf that is the real beauty of this nerf. It makes it impractical to lock smaller ships than battleships (and even battleships is streching it). Andski certainly seems to allready know this, 3 weeks ago.

I do not fly a titan or any cap ship.

More like the Titan nerf is trying to do something about average 0.0 battles looking like this: http://i.imgur.com/CY6x4.jpg

Or would you rather see Rifters Maelstroms and Drakes?

Actually, there is a better solution, just nobody has mentioned it.

If they want to "nerf" titans, multiply Sig rad on all drag bubble to thier bubble rad and add a 0 to the Remote ECM burst. Every nerf should come with a buff. That's how balancing is supposed to work if it's truly about roles and functions, not about breaking stalemates.

I thought you were fine with the change because your real strength is your sheer number of players. Without powerful ships these other alliance will not be able to stand in the way of your herds.

But it is sort of funny to read about how you goons seem so concerned about bc gangs getting ganked. I guess you guys do care after all.

Why not? happens in Modern warfare every day? I'm sure in the future it would be the same as well. I think what you saying is you don't like the fact that having hundreds upon hundreds of players in your alliance makes no difference?

Quality over quantity should be your motto.

All CCP will do will make it as usual quantity over quality, so if you want to hold the SOV you have just managed to get you have to Blue up/Suck off the local "large" alliance because they have taken away/made it pointless the only thing that makes it awkward for a large fleet to engage.

If you are going to ignore the real world than why are you arguing about sanity? It may not happen in the internet spaceship universe you imagine but that doesn't mean IGÇÖm insane if it happens in the one I dream of.

Also look at the Spanish versus the indigenous people of South America. There are slews of examples throughout history where better technology means one soldier can be worth hundreds.

Also your difficulties about getting hundreds of people in drakes doesn't mean it should be an automatic I win button if you succeed. The herd mentality of eve is hardly something that should be promoted even more.

Finally why bring battlecruisers to fight titans? Because every noob in your alliance wants to feel they are just as powerful as players who have invested years of time in the game? Why does the game have to be such that a battlecruiser fleet can beat a titan fleet and the titans can do nothing but bring herds of battcruisers themselves?

Your the one crying to ccp to change the rules. Hell I am not even in null sec nor do I have any desire to ever own a titan. I just think its funny that you guys don't want to risk your supercap fleet so ccp is going to change the rules for you.

Now your argument is that I am a "hisec incursion runner." Ok thats false, but it is another example of how you just keep trying to change the topic each time you get shot down.

I find it funny that Goons who go around laughing because miners canGÇÖt do anything to stop getting ganked by goons, are supposedly so concerned that drakes are getting ganked by titans.

The reason your upset is because its *goon* drakes getting ganked. And so instead of fighting with your own cap fleet you just get ccp to make it stop.

You are pushing for this change because it will give you an in game edge against raiden. Plenty of goons have been gloating about this all over the internet, so its pretty late to deny it.

If the roles were reversed and raiden had vast hordes of newbs that goons were staving off with the use of titans you would likely not want this change.

Why do you say I am dumb? I wasn't one of the people piloting a mwd drake against a group of 20 titans and sticking around until I popped.

If this was a cfc drake fleet why didn't they bring thier own titans? Tippia says you can bring them with no risk. It sounds like you guys know this group always drops titans. So why not fight them? Is it some sort of code of e-honor?

Super Capital ships were poorly thought out in the first place. Created from complaints about regular Capital Ships.

Now people are complaining about Super Capital Ships.
