quick question for solo pilots in megas, but has anyone else thought about a 'get back to gate' scenario. i tend to employ this tactic alot in my solo megathron due to the increasing number of players in eve and the increasing size of 'small gangs'.
During a 'get back to gate lol' manuver one would try to hammer it back to gate as quickly as possible. counting on the whether the hostiles have a huggin/rapier or are too stupid to not agro and jump through and fight on the other side this tactic has varied effect.
now imagine this but with your MWD shut off after one cycle = death.
so in my eyes solo BS pvp is pretty much fubar amirte?

That's what it looks like right now... that's why everybody's complaining.
I like nano-ships because they allow you to escape gate-camps and superior numbers, not because they're vastly superior to other ships. Heck, I'd fly a battleship IF I had the ability to disengage when outnumbered.
I like to play alone, and I like the fact that I'm able to do so with nano-HACS. Nerf speed and people will die to the first gate camp or blob they run into in pretty much any ship. It's already hard enough as it is... tons of gate camps have ships that can lock you in a matter of seconds even if you're in a frigate. Popping a frigate that has no speed/agility is already very easy. Popping a nano-HAC is harder because it can quickly MWD away and warp. Battleships are pretty much screwed if they run into a good gate camp. With the new changes, all you'll need for a good gatecamp is a webber or two and a dedicated warp scrammer with the range bonus and you won't be able to escape no matter what ship you're in.
