Some people still havent realized the intention of these new changes.
Fighting misile ships does only work inbeteen your opponents shipclass when it comes to resistance tanking.
A small gang made of 5 cruiser sized vessels engaging a BS wont work w/o ecm.
The misiles do wicked untankable damage to your gang. And while defenders suck in most cases, especially in close range, the only way of having a chance is a falcon or something similar.
BS vs BS, BC vs BC, Cruiser vs Cruiser, frigate vs frigate. Thats it.
Oversized weapons like heavy turrets on BS can be counteres by tracking/optimal range disrupion. In most cases, they will still hit your smaller vessel if youre webbed by a single ship and his heavy drones melt your eyes like ice in the sun.
There are lots of people, including me, who like to fly small frig sized ships and love to own bigger ones in their fragile, crappy boats. THIS makes PvP interesting. With the current mechanics, you'll never try to engage a BS in a Cruiser/frig, even if you have 10 frigs in your gang. Suicide is an option. but im talking about survivability. And there is none. smaller ships will die a fast death. Theres NO WAY to counter missiles on TQ! Tank it or run.
So, how to counter webs and missiles?
Exactly, nano it.. and become "invincible" (aslong you wont get webbed/neuted).
Your missiles do no damage and you start whining. Nanos being nerfed and your missiles do less damage to your opponent. aaaand you start to whine agaaain. how pathetic..
on SiSi
your small ship gang does have a realistic chance to beat big ships. You can signature tank missiles and outrun oversized turrets tracking, even if webbed.
Webs, neuts, TP and smaller drones are still viable counters. dont even think aout it to hunt a frig with your ogre II or i'll plait your hair and yank 'em out!
Some people do still live in their small world made of "i do solo PvP and my BS has to pwn every smaller ship and misiles have to hit with a devastating damage" .
This is where all these lame BS PvP vids come from.
Allright, some folks have realized that signature is the key. So why dont you use TP? "another med slot for a TP??!!!!1 I need my slots for a web and scrambler!! zomg!!"
flying in small gangs up to 3 ppl aint even worth talking about, because "I R solo PvPr". SO DIE AND STOP ****ING COMPLAINING!
Teamwork is the key. Understanding mechanics and your ganglineup.
My 0.2 isk.
The missiles changes are fine. Like everything else. INCLUDING blasters! 
See you in space and getting spanked by evil frig gangs. your tears taste sweater than carebears'. |
