/whine beginning
It's like this... If i get a hold of a missile speed boat (a boat now, on water, speeding and shooting missiles) I would expect a hell of a challenge if I sped toward the USS Iowa with it to shoot it. Otoh, I could also reasonably expect that the USS Iowa would not be able to pull out a few Tomahawks and expect to hit me with them.
This is what keeps me in this game, as opposed to playing other games. For a long while in Eve it was the fact that the game's variants of the USS Iowa could whip out a few thousand tomahawks and launch them at my speedboat, with a good chance to hit me. Now that's no longer possible. Which is good. Which is logical.
What I like most about Eve is this, and pardon my french here for those of you who have never descended into the moral conundrum of playing Wow, is that even at a high level of skill, you are not able to put a DoT on a noob and know for certain that you will win. You have to work for your kills. You have to find them, and you have to beat them. Yes, a high sp player does have advantages over a new player, and the outcome is mostly not in doubt - but the outcome is not written in stone. A player that has gotten over the initial skilling requirement and have achieved basic game competency can, in this game, leave the battlefield victorious.
That's how it should be.
During the last few days the forum have overflowed with whines from the pvp'ers and the pve'ers alike about how their easy mode have been removed. Good, I say! Good! That's my understanding of Eve, that there is never an easy mode. You now how to work hard for your kills, or for your survival.
Just as it should be.

Yeah, if you speed towards my USS Kylie in your ickle speed boat I won't try and hit you with my missiles, instead I will hit you with a DoT or AoE spell. Oops sorry. I will stick my drones on you or I will smartbomb you.

The first 2 replies to this thread just go to show how poor these forums are nowadays.

yeah I agree, I spent a logn time training many ships, and frigates are still my favorite.
That said it's not just rock beats paper. If paper is packing a heavy nuet and makes rock hollow, it's allllllll over.
It's all about what you have fit and if you know how to fly :) |

I was lead to believe it was better on the forums long long ago. I feel lied to.
(if it was better, what's that guy complaining about in 2003?)

We do. Just not on General Discussion. All the discussion/suggestion forums other than this one are alright. |
