thats just the game maturing to the level it was intended to… this game is suppose to end in super powers battling it out for dominance… economic power is just as strong as military capability. there are so many titans because the game is old, ppl are rich and they want titans… so they pay 10s of billions of isk for them… this game was inevitably going o end in massive capital battles… im sorry some of you can only fly subs… maybe you should train for caps like I did, a cruiser has no business ■■■■■■■ with a capital PERIOD

it used to, it used to take out just about everything that wasn’t a super. then came the whines. I was there I saw it. the titan was feared, you didn’t need huge numbers of them to control a battle, you only needed one. and that was that.

Cap’s can only cyno so far, they would be stretching their super cap umbrella to wide leaving lots of weak spot’s.

Having to defend a greater area of space mean’s gorilla tactics have much greater effect, one of the biggest reasons goon’s are so strong is because of how concentrated they are allowed to be because of current eve mechanic’s go look at how their space is set up, its really strong in some place’s.

There are many blingy active dread fits that can soak a DD, and buffer fits can do it easily , without the hull energizer

I’d settle for making buffing targeted DD damage so they can take out the average _un slaved_ rev fit  
and nerf bosons a bit

I dont like that either, just saying there are ways of fixing the game against bots that dont involve screwing the player base.

I didn’t suggest any fix to the solution, I just argued against his solution. Idk how to fix botting, but that’s a discussion for a different forum post.

> Question is do we want the rest of nullsec to look like Delve? Is that really going to be good for the game? Zero roaming PVP going on, nobody wanting to start a war because the thought of grinding through dozens of ADM 5 systems with 10 citadels each is worse than death?

Roams come into Delve all the time. Roams also go _out_ of Delve all the time. Like, half a dozen pings for them a day, easily.

As for the sov grind… _nobody wants to do it **now** _. Nobody. Why do you think there really haven’t been any major wars going on? XIX is about to start one, sure (I mean, let’s face it, Vily confirmed it on Reddit), but that’s because he’s been on TEST’s couch. Look at the last big war that _wasn’t_ the RUS trying to carve some space out for themselves… did we actually take any space?

Nope.

We didn’t fight that war for territory. We didn’t fight it for resources. We fought it for _hate_.

Is it? EVE’s a game where your choices matter, where you can _accomplish_ things and have a lasting impact. It’s a game where you can build and develop your space. You know what that means?

It means it’s a game where eventually, the frontier _gets settled_. That’s what happens to frontiers. In 1860, the population of San Francisco was 56,802. 10 years later, it was 149,473. 10 years after that, 233,959.

And that’s in the real world, where wars take years to play out, where population shifts happen over decades. Online, all of those trends accelerate. We’re _fifteen years in_. You can’t expect the frontier to still be cattle rustlers and gunslingers forever. That’s not how _human beings_ work. And as much as I despise human beings, EVE is _stuffed_ with 'em.

It’s a matter of getting right application:scan res ratio, they are gonna max it. Don’t forget that they’re just gonna get a little bit more of alts and voila - the same amount of isk.

if your brave enough to use the nsa there won’t be a huge difference, _maybe_ a bit longer to kill the frigs or cruisers but thats it.
