PvP is only as relevant as you make it. You can view it as an activity on its own or a means to an end. If you experience it as boring you are doing something wrong unless boring is what you are after ofcourse. But considering its a game, fun would be the goal I’d imagine.
Penarth is nice. Just don’t pick up any pebbles on the beach. Especially the brown ones.

Herzog’s Magical Fix PVP Ointment™
New and improved with extra dose of Hoppean Snek
- Make it so that only so many ships can lock onto a given ship, depending on both hull size of the target and tracking power used by the targeters. This prevents primarying, F1 monkeying, and will encourage actual wings and squads to fly like wings and squads instead of this idiotic “bait ball” crap.
- Give ship explosions AOE damage. The mechanics exist for it. We all know that L4 mission.
- Let ships that are jammed or damped - or too many locking on to a given target - “strafe forward”. Meaning, you can still fire your turrets forward just like stealth bombers launch their bombs forward. Yes the mechanic exists.
- Bring back mines and let there also be cloaked mines for extra lols. You know you all want it.
- Make capsules indestructable! How dare I? I’m such a carebear! HURF BLURF!!!
Make them also incapable of scanning and can only see gates, citadels, and stations. No more POD Express. No more “Clone vat as instant respawn”. You lose your ship, you gotta slowboat home. Tough cookies. But make all ship explosions damage and/or destroy implants randomly. This will encourage more implant use as PVP won’t garuntee all implant loss, but also cost more implant attrition for those who don’t PVP but are careless or bad at the game. It also gets them used to actually having implants at risk instead of becoming more risk averse. - Give faction warfare players faction-only ships issued to them that only faction members can fly, and as they improve in rank - rank based on time in service AND PVP KILLS - give them better ships. If you are going to fight for an empire, let them equip you. This allows those with an eye solely for PVP “World of Tanks” style to find a place in Eve.
- Include “incident reports” as a form or PVP record for non-combatant pilots so logi does not have to field one shooty drone just to get on a KM.
- Make scramming based on ship size and power. There is no way in hell a small ship should be able to tackle a larger one. It’s just plain dumb. Maybe we the players might rationalize it as not dumb, but it looks dumb to the rest of the world.
I don’t expect things to change. Back on your heads.

The one thing I really hate about PVP is Vamp/NOS you go in ready to fight it out and the cap is sucked dry nothing works guns don’t fire ship is dead in the water, if it was me I would get rid of these from the game and just let the guns do the talking,imho.

What are cap boosters?
What are cap batteries?
But, sure, why not remove things from the game based solely on your inability to fit a ship.

I’ve read these before and they don’t really work. This can be a real off putting pvp and is most likely the main thing I shy away from pvp. Don’t get me wrong I use them I just dont like them.
Have you considered the possibility that they work fine, and it’s actually you who isn’t working?
I mean if everyone else can apply counterplay to something, but you can’t, it would seem that the mystery factor is likely to be your own inability.

That’s not what I’m saying I just dont think it a good feature for pvp. I dont like them.i can see it as a big irritation for new players.
Yeah, I bet new players would love it if any and all tactics aside from a straight up DPS Vs. EHP slugfest were removed from the game.
Cap warfare is so unfair, I can’t even turn my modules on!
Being kited is so unfair, I can’t even hit him!
Sensor damps are so unfair, I can’t even target the other guy!
Friends are so unfair, what am I supposed to do by myself against 12 people?
Ugh, drone ships!
Missiles? They don’t even have to worry about tracking, it’s so irritating!
