There are a couple options I see that can make the ewar more balanced.

1. reduce the speed of ewar back down to the average speed of that bot type (Light, mech etc..). they dont need it because they have the longer locking range already, and since
they are specialized ewar modes can increase with skills.

or

2. remove guns from ewar so they can be used as intended.

3. I think light ewar bots should have a harder time ewaring a mech for example, since there are ewar mechs. I think light ewar should recieve penalties in trying to ewar mechs or bigger.

thats my 2 nic.

thanks for reading

A large part of the skill involved in this game is preparation. Knowing how to fit out a robot for the situation your going into. But I do understand how you wouldn't have figured this out yet considering your corp still doesn't know how to fit out robots.

And stop pulling numbers out of your *** concerning who had what equipped when you weren't even there.

Like even being there would let me know which accounts where EA or T4 equipped, so like maybe I was generalizing to make a point, or is that concept too difficult to grasp for you.

Your point about fitting is spot on though, so add that as another non-tactical issue that would have also resulted in 2.5-1 odds resulting in a different outcome.

Your're going to have to put more points into trolling though, your starting to lose your EA advantage.

the only thing i would amend to that is that you guys definitely had a range advantage that we couldn't take.
I know for myself, i hardly got a shot off at all because the blobs didnt ever get that close..

Nothing like having a 1 or 2 T4 sensor boosters and an extra 2-3 skill points in long range... or wait, those don't matter.

Its not like having even 10 meters of extra range would allow you to just run backwards and kill bots like the first 30 minutes of the video showed; I hope that tactic isn't what you're calling superior, because any idiot can run backwards and keep a target just out of range.

This piece-meal whittling of game mechanics is getting old.

First deleting cargo, now containers.

Just list everything you need to make pirating fun and let the dev's change it all at one time; so they can get back to programming the fun stuff like artillary and tanks.

I'm serious, if you catch someone afk mining or undefended you should get the stuff, just get all of your issues organized and submitted in one place to get it over with.

So scouts can still scout after they are dead?

But now they would be invisible scouts!.... Awesome....

Really?  I am aware of the 10% chance-to-miss for missiles which can be reduced with the Missile Guidance skill, but I could have sworn I read somewhere that mechs generally have a built-in chance-to-miss against smaller bots (something to do with their surface hit size).

Huh?  When I look at the stats for missles it shows x amount of some damage type.  Are you saying that medium weapons have a built-in negative damage modifier towards smaller bots?  Or does it have something to do with their larger "explosion size"?

Hmm.  The huge range advantage still sounds like a significant advantage but I guess I'll see.

If that was true then.......few or none would do it.

Sorry but what he said was completely true, farming light/assaults in a Mech is a horrible idea. You will do more damage A LOT quicker with cheaper ammo if you stick to assaults. PvE wise Mechs are only good against large mech spawns if you have the proper skills(seismics/precision firing 7). If you don't have your respective skill to 7 then you might as well just use assaults for farming mechs as well.

Here I'll throw an argument at you using the same logic. Mechs suck because my corp has hundreds of them and has had them for weeks, but still we use our assaults for PvP and PvE.

Was not arguing that it was a good idea, just there are a fair amount of people doing it......go out there and pay attention a bit and you will see people doing it.....did not say they were right, or smart, just that if it was that bad there would be less or none doing it.
