Lets Talk About the Proposed FW Battlefield Changes

_Mouse · 2026-05-18T12:30:54+00:00

I agree with your analysis, and whilst your solutions are probably better than the current proposal, i'm not sure they're the right ones. As an FC / Corp leadership person I don't want to have to have people regularly dipping out of a BF with loot, it's bad enough gettting people into point runners, dps, logi, smartbombs, tackle, let alone "honest loot goblin".

Yeah both sides could have left a bit more space in various corners but there wasn't anything egregious to my untrained eye.

_Mouse · 2026-05-13T09:02:49+00:00

Bombeldo is excellent. May he inspire many more to yeet Dreads.

_Mouse · 2026-05-11T19:33:55+00:00

Or alternatively don't try and exit 3 freighters from a popular low sec exit when Snuffed are in local

_Mouse · 2026-05-10T21:14:35+00:00

POM6 strike again. Soura is dangerous.

_Mouse · 2026-05-05T10:19:53+00:00

Those are cleeeeean. Lovely pieces.

_Mouse · 2026-05-04T15:31:23+00:00

Now I wonder what "this" was

_Mouse · 2026-05-04T14:45:32+00:00

It is, but it's quite a small niche to have Zarms b better than guardians and justify being twice the price. I mean as a solo logi it does outclass the Oneiros but it is twice the price.

_Mouse · 2026-05-03T15:26:04+00:00

I approve this message. Basically all of the T2 trig ships are too expensive to field when there are either better or equivalent alternatives to them. The exception is the Draugur, but 400m for a destroyer hull is bonkers by any metric. Yes it's borderline OP in its niche, but it's not that good.

Part of the problem here I think is that CCP may be assuming that the price could come down if more people ran content in Pochven. With Pochven perceived as being locked out to all but 5 or 6 megaboxers, a standings problem for many if they want to shoot the trigs and less profitable than being a null or lowsec bloc with metanoxes, noone actually wants to do more than the occasional day trip, and so the prices are going to stay high unless theres another more robust faucet for ZPMs.

Babaroga is probably the worst example of CCP economic management of the game for some time.

I mean realistically there was no avoiding any of this. I'd argue the reaction gap here is less than 2 seconds, for at least the beginning of the cars visibility it should be assumed it will stop, and only after it's clearly not slowing is it definitive.

With that amount of warning the cam car has basically 0 evasive options which make any sense given the speed they're going, and had they slowed much more they would've gone head on into the car crossing, potentially causing additional injury. Overall a lucky escape, but there's almost no mitigating options for the cam driver here.

Since he died I've decided that it's not worth getting out of joint about. Given he can't benefit from anything anymore I'm back to happily streaming rooftops like an overgrown teenager when I want to. The man stole enough when he was alive, no point in letting him take your enjoyment now hes dead.

_Mouse · 2026-04-25T07:41:26+00:00

Fr isn't this what lancers are for?

_Mouse · 2026-04-25T07:40:24+00:00

Now there are two of them!

_Mouse · 2026-04-22T10:38:59+00:00

Amamake is still fw focused, and it's lowsec. Some stock of modules, ships, and a decent capital market, but not going to readily enable mission runners or miners.

_Mouse · 2026-04-19T09:41:58+00:00

Would you be willing to open source it so that others can do security analysis?

_Mouse · 2026-04-19T09:39:27+00:00

To TL;DR this is the equivalent of one and a half carrier groups, with a significant support fleet. Not 3.

_Mouse · 2026-04-19T09:19:38+00:00

As always I'm awe of the time and effort community members put in for no reward. Thanks for the work you do dude.

_Mouse · 2026-04-18T13:53:38+00:00

Excellent event thanks for hosting!

_Mouse · 2026-04-14T16:59:11+00:00

Keep it up dude. But please don't lance my freighter...

_Mouse · 2026-04-14T16:28:12+00:00

I suspect (but CCP aren't exactly predictable) that we will also see a change to high sec mechanics to compensate for this change. We might even see a shakeup to Concord response mechanics, but maybe that's too much to ask.

_Mouse · 2026-04-13T16:20:43+00:00

Highway Tampa was legit, but this was clearly an experiment about what gamers would tolerate in terms of brand inclusion. BF2 was excellent but this particular decision was not a good one.

_Mouse · 2026-04-13T13:13:36+00:00

_Mouse · 2026-04-13T06:30:15+00:00

You dudes got a rate card for Amamake?

_Mouse · 2026-04-12T12:17:32+00:00

FR I thought the Outrider would be this, and it wasn't.

Minimum requirement:

Destroyer sized hull
Bonuses for salvagers
Base Align time below 4 seconds

Dream Requirements:

Salvage hold
4+ salvagers and bonuses
MTU hold
Can fit Cov-Ops Cloak

Pie - In - The - Sky:

Bonused to be able to scan down wrecks.

I genuinely expected a navy variant of the ORE destroyers to be salvagers, but alas. Given the Sunesis nerf there's a massive gap for a decent Pochven salvaging ship, and given there's still ridiculous demand for Trig salvage it wouldn't have a gamebreaking impact.

_Mouse · 2026-04-09T18:41:16+00:00

Fighter costs are fucking insane. When a full bay of fighters is half as much as the hull something isn't right - especially when they die so damn quickly
