The hunters have plenty of chances to get me, at gates, with interdiction bubbles, with smartbombs, lets not act like they’re being shorted here.
Hunting down a ship is the fun part. I think gate camps are lazy.
You are worried about Sisters? Wait until you get combat probed by the Satori-Horigu probes.
I suppose being self centered actually is on brand for this game, but trying to get the devs to change things to make them less tedious for you and more tedious for others, doesn’t fly.
I don’t often engage in PvP but when I do, I want to have the option to go for someone who has the hacking mini-game screen open, or who is chipping away at a structure with loot inside.
In that situation I don’t even want the loot, I want your pod.
I didn’t realize eve was the perfect game, I’ll never suggest another improvement.
EVE most definitely isn’t perfect, but suggestions of the type “nerf my enemies, buff me” in a competitive game are rarely improvements to the game.
I regularly see good improvement suggestions, but almost none of them come from the point of view of a player who got outplayed and attempts to change the part of the game they didn’t fully understand yet. Usually those suggestions are bad, selfish and more like rants disguised as ‘suggestions’.
Suggestions that aren’t fully self serving, are well thought out using different perspectives and try to improve or add balance are always welcome.
So you’re saying that the dscan/combat probes combo is balanced …
everyone can read the comments and understand your bias, you don’t need to comment anymore, go out site and eat some grass.
Indeed it is!
It’s pretty balanced with all sorts of counterplay present from hiding in warp, in safes, with bookmarks, cloaks, dscan immune ships, sensor boosters, etc.
You tried nothing but went straight to the forums to ask for nerfs.
You’ve made a ton of assumptions throughout this thread, please stop commenting if all you’re going to do is keep making assumptions. Please nerf the Sisters Combat probes - #36 by John_Aurthur
My bias is that Eve is a competitive PvP sandbox where effort and preparation is rewarded, and laziness is punished.
Funnily enough most of the ideas posted on these forums are a variation of “make things easier/safer to benefit me personally”. Yours is just another one of those and until you come up with a well thought out idea that comes from actual understanding and tries to improve the game (so not just your game) you’re going to get the reactions as you got here.
Who knew, HTFU, git gud.
Due to a lack of context given by you, like a list of things you did try, I indeed assumed you didn’t try those things.
Apparently that is wrong?
So, which things did you try and what were your experiences?
He tried nothing, that would take effort and would require him to acknowledge that others play this game who might affect his game and be better than him. If he had he’d have mentioned it.
The usual main character stuff.
Yes the dscan/probes combo is well balanced, absolutely it is.
As the belligerent, I can stalk my enemies while they’re unaware of my presence beyond my name in local.
As the non-belligerent I can counter easily using cloaking, dropping yellow probes (to make them think I’m looking for sites), I can decloak and fly to a moon then cloak and fly away, let them scan me down enough to be entering warp licking their lips and then I turn up on a different moon of the same gas giant etc.
I like getting them to swear in the chat cos I slipped away, the ol’ unexpected interdiction nullifier after a 10 minute chase around a system 
Endless fun for both sides imho.

There was a guy a while back who seems to really love the idea that if you didn’t agree with him you shalt not comment, but that again smacks of incredible entitlement. You believe you should only have to observe opinions that agree with yours, and no other opinions have the right to enter your brain, which is just fantastic.
Please understand that these requests are zero sum, and if you get what you want - a free win - other people (who are also paying customers) get a free loss, enforced upon them. You get hostility for asking for that.
You clearly don’t understand. You can’t just cloak up when you’re locked by rat. The only counter play to the specific situation I’ve described is warp out of the site anytime anyone else is in the system. Everyone who has commented conveniently ignores this and/or makes assumptions about my play-style.
I have in this thread specifically told you about efforts I’ve taken and you attacked me for it.
If you had put in effort you’d not need a reason to create this thread. QED.
None of these protect you from the dscan/probe trick except flying a dscan immune ship. which is just trading one kind of tedium for another. Several times I have warped out of the site when people entered the system, and it works, but I am really tired of traversing empty rooms.
