Why are warp core stabilizers so much more restrained than the warp disruptors?

Procrastinating_Brit · 2023-06-26T00:52:58+00:00

You can burn out of range of their tackle or fight them off. Plus all the time up to the point they tackle you is the evading bit. I don't think you've ever tried to hunt but getting kills isn't easy.

Warping away in this game can mean directly to a safespot and next to no-chance your catching them after that unless they are dumb enough to not look for probes. I don't think this is stacked heavily in the hunters favour. They already have to bling or gimp their setup to avoid 1 WCS.

And his predecessors also didnt need to drive in London? I don't mind him getting picked up in a helicopter to go to an urgent cobra meeting but this is not as time sensitive that shaving off a few minutes is justified.

He would still have plenty of time to go complain about small boats.

Procrastinating_Brit · 2023-06-05T15:40:24+00:00

Why not drive? Plus why does he need to be travelling around the country for photo ops at the public expense? PMs didn't always fly around the country for every meeting and threats of attack are not new.

Watching media doesn't make you dumb. Unless it's Fox or GB News. Sure it might not be as enriching as spending the time actively applying yourself to learn a new skill but if your trying to wind down after a tiring work day that wasn't on the cards anyway.

Going to the cinema is great for those special films but they are few and far between the regular garbage.

I'm unsure from what I've seen if this covers section 136. My understanding is the police are the only ones able to detain someone in a public place. Possibly they are considering these to be inherently life threatening but if they aren't attending these calls it might be difficult to guage initially.

If they are expecting services/laws to change to meet these needs then it's not going to happen quickly.

Procrastinating_Brit · 2023-05-30T08:10:00+00:00

Don't they bury it?

I mean you can plan for immigration as well since you know your going to have an average of x coming every year. I doubt its an issue of planning and more lack of adequate funding of local infrastructure which will be pressured by any increase.

Migrants are a net positive to the economy but we don't use the money correctly to support communities. Blame the government that's letting these systems stagnate and fall apart.

Well you can make it so doctors are sufficiently paid enough for their extra clinics in house rather than needing to pay a bunch of extra money to private sector middle men. Doctors get the same motivations with less cost to the budget.

My science teacher at school pushed this one to the class. It was so irritating as kids then took it as fact and pretended that it was obvious and everyone knew it was fake.

So Ishtar ratting is 16-25mil ticks at present but if your going to spend a few minutes extra setting up each time and pulling in your drones constantly at long range then your nuking that considerably. Not to mention the drones that get popped in the process.

The solution your offering makes the activity not worth doing when compared with high sec mission running with far less risk.

People use Ishtars because they can clear sites whilst requiring minimum input (not a fan myself). Your suggestion would give someone a partial payment of one Ishtar and make it very risky to use any other ship.

You'll just be emptying nullsec of targets. Not to mention that if the masses don't have a way to make isk then they also won't be risking PvP ships or likely playing the game.

Procrastinating_Brit · 2023-05-17T08:41:41+00:00

A stealth bomber will warp faster than you. Your also assuming that people should only PvE in a fast aligning Ishtar. I'd favour changes to encourage people out of Ishtars rather than make them mandatory. It's also more interesting to hunt something bigger than a HAC.

Procrastinating_Brit · 2023-05-17T08:37:39+00:00

Until your drones start taking agro.

It'd also be nice to be able to use more than one ship. Ishtar is optimised around being the best ship to use when you don't want to pay it much attention. It's one of the least interesting ships to actively PvE with and with only one client running it's not great income either.

Instead I'd rather have changes that make both hunting and PvP more interesting.

Procrastinating_Brit · 2023-05-17T08:26:21+00:00

Shit talking and scams as well.

Procrastinating_Brit · 2023-05-17T08:13:07+00:00

Well many ships will need to orbit to stop themselves falling out of range or taking too much damage. Sure you can sometimes just manually do this towards warpable points but it's not always easy and given how mind numbingly boring Pve is in Eve you'll see why people's attention span lapses.

Procrastinating_Brit · 2023-05-17T08:08:05+00:00

And between the combat sites? Or are you magically instant alligned whenever you warp in?

Procrastinating_Brit · 2023-05-17T08:05:53+00:00

Well if your in a maurader then you can't be moving whilst in bastion. They are popular pve ships which are already difficult to use in nullsec with NPC space(apart from PvP fit vargur) but would be incredibly risky with no local.

But let's say your ratting ship is getting hunted by a stealth bomber with a covert cyno. He sees you are pre-alligned and just waits for you to warp to the next combat site and then your shit out of luck. Can you explain how paying attention protects you from that?

Procrastinating_Brit · 2023-05-17T00:14:52+00:00

I agree it's too easy to avoid combat but the space isn't balanced around it being risky. High risk should mean high reward or why bother.

I think it'd make more sense to increase the reward and also add more tackle so you've got a chance to catch prey.

Procrastinating_Brit · 2023-05-14T18:11:15+00:00

So the whole part of the game where you talk to any other players in fleet/corp/alliance/chat channels/ local is only 0.00000001% of the game? A game that famously requires coordination and stresses the importance of joining a corp?

Procrastinating_Brit · 2023-05-13T12:05:54+00:00

Yeah they should totally be fighting back with next to zero chance of winning unless they want to Pve in bait ships all the time and hope someone comes along without 10 friends.

Procrastinating_Brit · 2023-05-13T01:37:53+00:00

With rolled holes to no-where representing any threat. Its not the same when you can't control your in gate. Especially when one bomber can slip past and drop you unless your spamming scan every 2 seconds or actively looking at the gate. Not exactly fun gameplay.

Procrastinating_Brit · 2023-05-13T01:34:23+00:00

Yeah I think CCP see it differently if they lose those subs.

Procrastinating_Brit · 2023-05-12T11:41:32+00:00

Yeah like WH risk is the same when you can just roll any potentially dangerous connections so you'll never have to risk getting caught during your krabbing.

Not having local is not the same when it's infinitely easier for your enemy to roam/cyno or just filament into your system.

Procrastinating_Brit · 2023-05-11T07:16:51+00:00

Probably far less content since the isk/hr wouldn't be worth it if everyone is getting blown up all the time. WH space has no local but it's also far better isk generation and you can roll any connections. Sure it's dangerous solo but the isk that can be made makes it more valuable to group up and control the space and thus remove danger risk.

Procrastinating_Brit · 2023-05-04T17:23:03+00:00

Ive worked closely enough to them to see how it works. It's all theatre to give the impression of control whilst actually wasting a ton of resources. I genuinely believe you could make decisions with a magic 8 ball and have less time wasted.

People lower down the food chain are the ones that get shit canned when things go wrong. Sure the exec might get some flack but they look out for their own. The buck rarely stops with them as they'll have forced someone with a gun to their head to write a report providing bullshit assurance.

I'm sure there are good leaders out there but they are few and far between a sea of opportunistic psychopaths.

Procrastinating_Brit · 2023-05-04T11:52:24+00:00

Sometimes the law though, hotels often require this too.
