I saw this mentioned in some of the "speed" threads and it looks like a pretty good idea. Everyone knows actions speak louder than words. So why cant the devs make a "guerilla" gang on Sisi (could be really small sized) and try to do the usual stuff with it in cooperation with few experienced players who will play the "other side". Actually show us how this is supposed to work. Show us you actually have some reasoning and arguments for this and not just "it felt like a good idea".

impossible! that means the dev's would need to know how this game is actually played to select a team to help investigate the play style... its sorta sad but hilariously ironic that the very people put in charge of protecting the integretity of the game have no clue and are about to destroy it

I'm glad I'm not a dev. Because people who kept insulting my intelligence on these forums, especially the one's who make wholesale assumptions, would find themselves in tough spots. You can only insult someone's job so many times.
Its like telling a waitress that your meal sucks and you want a new order. You might feel like it's the 'right' thing to do, but when your food comes from that kitchen, you don't know what the hell happened to it.
Some people don't know when to hold their tongue, though. Oh, well. I'm almost hoping that this nerf hits live harder than it is on SiSi, simply because of all the smart*sses throwing insults on these boards. Won't teach you a lesson, no. Some people won't learn.

By the way, isn't Guerrilla warfare about assaulting a force in a weak spot, in a manner that will guarantee victory while cause the utmost impact?
Practical example would be swooping in, destroying a battleship, then leaving. Seems that you can't test the 'fairness and balance' of the unfair fighting tactics of a hit-and-run assault group.

So you're saying we shouldn't be allowed to express an opinion on whether or not we like a change CCP is making to a game that only exists because we continue to pay for it, incase they spunk in our lunch?

I'd be happy to either proof fast ships can still work or nano ships no longer work (red, blue, i'm colour impaired anyways, drop me in any team) if this will be done.
As for the other side of this, this is obviously made to show nano ships are now broken beyond use, sadly the nano***s (and use the term to indicate the group that actually are nano***s, not just anyone going fast) don't see the damage they do. So while you might be able to show the devs what you want them to see, you will never see what the rest of us have seen.
Vagabonds doing 8km/s on a basic cheap set up is not balanced, they can now do 5km/s, deal with it.

Remember the "Guerillas" are the ones using top of the line equipment here like real world elite troops. Their "Regular Army" opponents will be using poor weapons like actual guerillas do.
But it sounds cool and gives you the felling of being the underdog. |

This isn't the thread for this discussion, but I won't let this exaggeration go without being called out. Basic t2 RIGGED vagabonds (not cheap if you are using polys) fit sensibly on tq hit 5-6km/s depending on number of damage mods and which implants you have. Now they go ~3.5km/s on sisi (even adjusting for new optimal speed fit).

actually this senario is like going to your favorite restaurant to see they hired some ret3rd who dumped hot coffee, stabbed you with dirty silverware, and tried to bum 20 bucks off you before even seating your party...
If they nerf the game to the point of it not being fun for a vast majority of players, the joke will be on them, its their job and hopefully people will go hungry when thinking about "the giveth and taketh" comments next time.

I failed the part where the "vast majority" of the game are nanopilots.
Infact, I think maybe the vast majority of the vocal minority are, but otherwise? No.
The -vast- majority of this game burn l4 missions and mine/refine/shoot npcs. 0.0 doesn't even equate to around 20% of the active playerbase i'd make a bet.
And with CCP reeling in over 1m a month USD from sub's I dont' think they overly care about 100 people leaving in protest. Go play wow or something, whine more.
Actually, on a side note, i was out ganking earlier today and Outbreak is already changing their gang setups to use less nano's. Why can't you?

I like this idea...
I am a near perfected Gallente Gankthron pilot but also have near perfect long range (220km) railgun Sniperthron abilities.
I would be very interested in testing the gankthron aspect specifically as it appears there could be a major shift in the tactics required to make this an effective tool of war.
I am particularly interested in examining the MWD accelerate / top speed / decelerate effects in gangwar. Specifically when it involved getting bumped by smaller ships which is troublesome enough as it currently stands but could be much worse with these changes...
I will bookmark this thread and follow it frequently.
Great idea. "Hell hath no fury like 3 women scorned... or mine."

i just canceled 4 accounts and set long skills training. if they get a grip before sisi changes go into tq i might renew. if not i ll just do some thing else for a couple of months and check back later.
i really cant be arsed to do any more testing.

A cheap Vagabond does not do 8km/s. Polys, T2 MWD, T2 Overdrives will do 5.xkm/s. All of EVE does not have snakes.

This is an excellent idea and Im glad to see a dev expressing interest in it. The only thing that dissapoints me is that dev test runs of this kind should have been made standard practice long ago.
Id like to see the devs set up and run several test scenarios with players for every major change they make.
I can fly quite a few of the ships impacted by this nerf so I will definitely be there if able.

Originally by: Xofii This is being tested in small scale at sisi atm, need moar ppl though. First try, hac gang won. Second run with the groups reversed will soon commense.
I was in both tests. First fight ended with HACs holding the field. Few remarks though, in the first minute about 5 HACs got killed while trying to get out of the bubble, and the HAC gang was significantly outgunning the defence gang. Once the HACs got out of the bubble they could take on the defence gang which was pretty light on firepower.
Second test, HACs jumped into a sniper BS gang. HACs were sniper fitted. HACs made it through the bubbles reasonably well because there was only 1 huginn (who was primary) and little else for support. HACs then engaged at 80km and basically got slaughtered by the snipers. Also a few extra remarks on that: HAC gang had only 1 scimitar which made repairing difficult and the sniper BS gang was heavy on Amarr, which have better tracking on average already. Sniper BS gang also seriously outgunned HAC gang.
Overall I would still say that the nerf has been too much. If HACs get 1, maybe 1.5kms more topspeed and better acceleration they will be able to maneuver better, but I think without making them as invulnerable to heavy guns as they are now. Currently I'd estimate that HACs are 2 to 2.5kms slower than on TQ, if you halve that for the normal HACs (so the HACs that go 4 to 5kms on TQ go 3-4kms after the patch, the situation is salveagable for nanofleets, but they will certainly take more losses in any case unless the enemy are totally unprepared.

So when you say "HACs won", do you mean in terms of ISK lost?
If the defenders lose a couple of insured BS and BC, that costs a lot less than losing several HACs.
Can you provide some more details about the tests, like how many were on each side, what ships they were in, and what got blown up on each side?

I dont have exact fleet make-ups.
But the first fight was about 12 defenders vs 12-14 HAC. Defenders had 2 rapiers, 1 or 2 BS, think 2 BCs, 1 or 2 CBCs, maybe a ceptor or two. Something like that. HAC gang was heavy. At least 3 muninns, some zealots, ishtars, 2* cerberus. On jumpin, the cerberuses died fast after getting tackled (there was a big bubble on the gate and the rapiers got some of the nanoships). In terms of shiplosses, the HACs won and practically wiped out the defensive gang. If you had to do it by isk, it was probably closer to a draw, if you estimate that 5 nano-HACs cost 200m each. On the other hand the CBCs and rapiers were not cheap either.
Second fight there was about 15 in the HAC gang and same in the sniper gang. HAC gang had a claymore, a ceptor a scimitar and mostly snipery HACs. Defensive gang was about 15 as well, with a Huginn, Lachesis and the rest I think BS, I'd estimate about 7-9 Amarr BS and 1 or 2 of each other race. That fight started with the HACs jumping in and MWD aligning to the sun out to 80-100km and primarying the huginn and then the lachesis. Huginn died fast, not sure if the HAC gang took many losses at the start, didn't seem that way. Once the snipers got to focusfiring, the HAC gang was dead meat. Too little repping and heavy sniper DPS. Speedtanking didn't work and the HACs got slaughtered.

In the three first tests the gang that won all fights were the same gang.
First gang, all range fitted hacs 100km engagement area, enough got out of range from defenders and hacs won. Equal numbers
2nd gang: Defenders had 4-5 locus apocs and some bs + support and 5 bubbles, a proper tq anti nano gang. Nanos were slaughtered. Eual numbers.
3d gang: nano vs nano. Not equal numbers and unfair advantage for engagement, pretty much tq like. Team 1 slaughtered basically. Was never a fair fight, noteworthy was that range was more advantageous and also that hac vs hac gangs are still fun to fight.
4th test: Hacs vs bc camp. Hacs are close range nanos, bc's with dual logistics and recon support. Hacs were mauled. Team 1 lost.
5th test: Team 1 decides to hotdrop defenders, caps are jumped right on top of pervious bc gang, forgone conclusion and not really relevant for speed testing, allbeight fun.

I have snakes. But they still don't make much of a difference because I probably won't be able to have my +5% to speed and Shaqil's speed enhancer and my damn Snake Omega in at the same time. I like pie. |
