Originally by: TheG2 There is safety in numbers, and hell, if it works, fun be damned, this game is about serious gaining of sovereignty right and precious moon minerals right?
Yes, fun be damned this is serious business not just a game

Originally by: Synapse Archae So what I'm getting from thus thread so far is this:
Old 'n busted: fighting outnumbered
New hotness: running from blobs
In nanos you could at least try to pick off stragglers from a blob, or even harrass them knowing that you were relatively safe. Now your going to need to make sure that you are either sniping them fully aligned to warp out, or several jumps away.
The issue really isn't nanos (yes, they were broken at the extreme) but blobs. This round of nerfs just removed the one element that could fight the blobs. Expect ECM whines/nerfs next.
But always remember blob = more players = good for CCP

They do. Nano removed the tactics part of the equasion, since distance in the battlefield became a non issue thus forcing people to blob up. Nano nerf will result in anti-blob tactics from 2 years ago returning. Expect to see more 20 bs beating off 100bs clumsey blobs in the near future as tactics return to eve.
I would consider 20BSes to be a blob just as 100 BSes are. Of course only buffoons aren't going to bring inities to warp to close distance, or someone in gang with sniper BMs for every gate they use.
We are certainly going to see a lot more BSes, that might be good as the fights will last longer.

Originally by: Nova Fox Edited by: Nova Fox on 30/07/2008 19:18:08 Didnt nano caused blobbing to get worse? because you know... its not safe to go out in small groups espeically those not toteing a nuter battleship or the other not able to contribute enough damage strike groups. Running into any nano ship can spell doom for the whole group easily
No group safety causes blobs, it did with nanos and will even more without them.
To counter a small nano gang you really only needed 1 neut BS.
Everyone is focused on which side of the nano nerf side, while the real issue remains no effective way to fight the more is actually better mentality.

Only bad thing with blob is lag. 20BS do not cause lag. 100bs blob causes lag is someone tries to bring another 100 to take them out.
I would rather see small fleets of 10-20 bs movign about space like they used to 2 years ago insted of 1,000man blobs that we get today (See MAX campaign superblob)
you bring 10, i bring 20, you bring 50, i bring 100, you bring 200, etc.......
Without any limitations to the effectiveness of ships in huge groups the escalation cycle never ends
