Well to be fair. There were a few people having this problem after the release rollback. I think Gargaj sorted it for those that reported it.

Really strange if it's still happening though.

Mechs costs about 4x the price of a EW bot. And I'm quite sure a competent mech driver could solo (or atleast escape) four enemy EW bots? Might get hairy if there is 3 or more charmelons perhaps? Someone have some experience in this field?

nope. the four ew bots will field at least two sensor supressors, 2x demob and eventually 2 ecms, and 8 small weapons -> the mech pilot will be pinned down, unable to lock something and slowly die.

a skilled Tyrannos with 2x sensor amp, 1x t4 eccm and no lwf could eventually stand a chance.

Well more players should win over a single player with the same cost invested. But let's look at this further.

Unless something changed. Maximum debuffs from supressors is 2. You can't be debuffed further. A double amplified mech should still be able to lock at 300m after debuffs.

ECM is the tricky part. Especially combined with the locking speed reduction from the suppressors. If you are up igainst 2 intakts/2charmelon your goal is killing one of the charms. If you can do that the rest should be easy (on paper).

ECM has short range. If a mech starts locking outside 300m (before he get slowed from the supressors) he may be able to snipe a bot before they get in ECM range.

There is just too many factors that have not been investigated properly.

I think the other assualts need a range bonus similar to the waspish. They should have the anti-bot role in a group.

But I don't necessarily agree on nerfing EW bots. They are mainly used for their speed. There is just no other way to gank targets when they are all centered in a 3km radius from a safespot.

Mechs costs about 4x the price of a EW bot. And I'm quite sure a competent mech driver could solo (or atleast escape) four enemy EW bots? Might get hairy if there is 3 or more charmelons perhaps? Someone have some experience in this field?

Now if there is a gang of 20 EW bots, sure you will loose. But those 20 could have been in arkhes (or lairds) and still kill you.

Could 5 mechs solo 20 ew bots though hmm? Or should they even be able too?

Adding drains/neuts into the ewar category would actually be a big nerf. They would then be affected by the sensor strength (Which sounds wrong to begin with).

Honestly I think they need to rethink how ewar is balanced.

How about spending all your EP into mining. Then join a noob corp to get access to epi. Get a *** of it and and store it on a safe place on alpha.

After 44 days you say *** off to your corp. Sell the epi to the highest bidder. Send the cash to a GOOD friend (or just spend 3$ on a 4day account). Remember to raid the corp hangars before you leave.

Then respecc your main account. Create a new character with a different name. Transfer the money from the alt account etc etc.

You are now free to join the same noob corp or find yourself a better one.

Group of 10-12 ewars, each fitted with 2 fittings max can pretty much stand for a 4 FULL fitted ewars, but they are 3 times more effective if cooperating correctly due to their amazing speed if they have 2 fittings only per each player.

This is something what is OP and I dont like fight to tbh.

Personally I don't like how mass affects speed. A fully fitted EW Intakt looses 14kmh when you compare it to a 2laser/lwf/demob. In groups this doesn't matter, but you need the extra speed to run solo.

Most important Fit a Demob. Intakts may seem like there op but they have very low DPS and once demobbed they are slow.  a skilled assault should be able to tank there DPS. Other then that dont suck

You will never get in range to demob a good intakt pilot. Fit an extra sensor amplifier instead.

Now who can tell me the meaning of the word "distribute"....

Anyone?

We also just need more pvp islands in general.  The 3 we have is not nearly enough room.

Give me 5 good combat pilots with about 50m cash and I will claim ownership of a non-spesific station in ANY island. Might loose the intrusion event, but those are not the deciding factor.

Adding more island will change nothing. The megablobs will place a scout on each porter and leave the rest undefended.

You talk like getting 5 good pilots is something you can just hand around to anyone.  And no, you wouldnt.  You might make it past the scouts, but you'd never be able to make a home on an island with another alliance there.

As long as 95% of the alliance are on alpha. Yes, I'm pretty sure I could. There is only a couple corps I've seen make a proper attemt at "living" on the beta island and only a handful of those have the same patience as myself. Gerilja tactics ftw smile

In the end it would become detrimental for them to continue camping us inside, when there is plenty of unmined epi fields near other stations.

I find it hard to believe that anyone makes a profit (or even a living) from PvP- the benefits would lie in the abundant resources and superior facilities that PvP provide, wouldn't they?

Maybe if resources and facilities were scarce. But currently it's accessible to every member of a medium+ corp.

You can mine epi solo with a sequer alt.

I wish I could concede this point to you, but it is obviously not the case for several of the posters above. But you may be one of those for whom this is true- if so, then you make a good and arguable point- which children such as Postman have not done.

Why not argue on those terms? You'll get more out of it.

Uhm I'm confused. You have no counter arguments, so it's impossible to arque it any further.

No, my argument is quite sound, and your attempt to turn it around is ham-fisted.

You assume that I wish to deny you your loot: please quote where I have made such an implication, because I would like to improve my writing if that is the case. I'm not on either side of the argument, as it seems silly to me- but I had not considered the point you made above, which makes the issue a bit more relevant, so thank you for pointing it out.

Now, as for the rest, how does denying you the loot deny you the reward? Does it erase the victory from the leaderboards? Does it stop having potential implications regarding the influence of your alliance? As far as I know, these are the rewards of victory, and they appear not to be going away.

You wish to deny the loot from the victor. Your only arguments is based around the other artificial rewards. That's wouldn't even work in counterstrike. Mhat if the Terrorist team could delete all their weapons before they die to prevent the CTs from getting them?

The quality of the kill is either the challenge of the fight or the economic impact/reward of the loss/loot. There is no persistent leaderboard atm. And it DOES affect your alliance when less players are willing to do PVP when the risk vs reward is stacked soo rediculously igainst you.

Spending 40min on tracking down a couple arganos is actually detrimental to your own progress. You get maybe 50k worth of cargo when you could have made 1m from farming kernels.

A simple victory, with a corresponding loss of mech, is not enough punishment: you want a defeat so devastating, so horrible, that the loser instantly quits, leaving you, the victor alone on top of the heap, trophy in one hand, d1ck in the other.

In other words, you're a child.

It takes two to camp a teleporter.

The camper and the bot that gets killed if he moves outside.

Maybe the CampCorps should place their defence around their mining ops instead of relying on 3 ubersafe chokes? Then, MAYBE you can get some proper pvp fun.
