The problem is 99% of the game isn't intrusion events. So anytime that isn't intrusion light ewars are the best and even during intrusion you want half your force to be in light ewar. Seems unbalanced to me. There are light bots, light ewars, assaults, mechs, ewar mechs and heavy mechs, but 95%+ of the time you should be in a light ewar for pvp. I know we don't have the EP yet to make mechs effective, but the large disparity between light ewars and light bots or assaults is alarming. I can't even catch a sequer in my loaded waspish.

If ewars were half as effective as everyone here is making them out to be, then intrusions would consist of only ewar bots.

That's the bottom line.

I want mechs/heavy mechs to be useful in more situations, not only at Intrusions.

i bet we well see some guys resetting their account, speccing for mech only, and failing big time for the next 6 weeks

And someone who buy the game in 6 month should have 6month of double EP ?
For a competitive specialized Assault combat char you need ~50k EP total. It is less than a month of playing, i think i is balanced for new players

faction have only influance on your primary weapons extension (1 2 point only) , and that's all !

so you can join your friend where you want, join what corporation you want and enjoy the game without limitation.
