Hictors are too powerful and spoil my gaming time

That is not a good example of false equivalency. You started with the snidey comments, ships are buffed and nerfed all the time and often due to input from players and their experiences but mostly this convo is really boring, please dont bother replying

lol. You talked a load of absolute ■■■■ and then suddenly came up with this dual prop scenario to mask it

It is useful though I will try it :slight_smile:

This is my very first response…using your speed includes using an afterburner.

I lobe the ‘your’e a noob’ line though, are you 12?

“Noob” and “newbro” do not mean the same thing. Please not not put words in my mouth. I do not fault those who are ignorant, at least not until they have been given a chance to learn. I meerly assumed I was talking to someone who knew that ABs could still operate in a bubble.

Without ever using the term dual prop ‘afterburner’ fit until your 4th post?

But I will. It’s an open forum.

And bro, that’s a nice red herring you tossed out there.

You’re not looking for help, what you want is a ■■■■■ fest. You should have just opened with that.

And I think it’s pretty selfish thinking that only your game time matters and it’s being “spoiled” by something you don’t like. It’s very immature thinking and doesn’t facilitate a discussion. But it’s clear that’s not what you’re looking for.

Anyway it’s clear your basic knowledge of pvp is piss poor at best. So here is a guide that is immensely helpful.

I’ve read it mate. When did I say I didn’t like him? I’ve had a few chats with him in local, he’s a nice guy

You didn’t. And I never said that you didn’t like him.

Are you… high?

Because that came out of left field.

You mean ABs still operate when scrammed I think? Both work in a bubble

Yes.  

It really doesn’t matter though does it. I cant get past the gate and that means I cant really use that toon til he leaves. Spoiled, out played whatever. I just wanted a discussion about Hictors and how they work and how they can lock gates to solo players. But I didnt get that, I just got people showing off and talking crap

I know yes, I was pointing out that he was calling others newbros and then got that wrong

So, you’re going to throw a temper tantrum because you weren’t clear with the intention of your opening post, and somehow that’s our fault and your a victim of that?

Gate camping is normal. It’s rampant in low sec choke points and null sec. Your options are to engage it. Use EvE Gate Check to avoid them. Or get a scout alt.

And this here is where you have crossed the line into willfully ignorant and closed minded. You are unwilling to take in new information and other viewpoints.

You are only stuck because you refuse to listen to advice and then attack those who tried to have a discussion with you. FYI, there is nothing wrong with being wrong, it’s how you react to being wrong that defines the interaction and subsequent growth. Yes I misspoke earlier, it happens, we both knew what I meant though as evident by your response.

If people would just read and then engage with the post (or not and just stay quiet) then that would be fine. I am happy to be proved wrong. But people just want to spout off showing everyone how knowledgeable they think they are.

I literally said in the OP that I know when he is there already! Gate Camps are avoidable, you can fit for them or take a different route. This guy knows where I want to go and he is preventing me from going there for hours on end whilst semi-afk. If he wasn’t in a Hictor it would not have been possible. Right or wrong I was merely suggesting the possibility that that might not be a great mechanic

And?

That’s when you spool up an alt and go do something else. Or you get a fleet together and take him out. Or go play something else. You have options.

These two statements do not agree with each other. You are effectively asking for a change because you don’t want to take efforts to get past the HIC. You know the answer for how to handle it.

Should we just nerf cepters because they can catch and hold a Battleship all day, even though the Battleship refused to take precautions to deal with smaller ships?

Again, exactly what I said in my original post and exactly what I do. I doubt CCP are all that happy about people having to log off and go play something else though
