My opinion on the PvP aspect

[Guest]

We all live in a ever changing world and i must say that some things need to be reminded for the sake of premature hair loss.




Yes...now Ill take your time to explain things how i see it.

In my opinion there are two pvp sections in the game as such. Fighter and Capital ship areas. Neither of which should interfear with the other, nor which should be specilized to counter the other. Fighters are fast and should not be given weapons big enough to harm caps, caps are powerful enough and should not be given weapons fast enough to counter fighters.


Only things i can see are the Specilized craft, which are Bombers and Gunboats. Gunboats are caps, that are the utter hatred to fighters, while bombers make every cap person squirm.

Ill return to that opinion later on, but first a small recap.




Noone likes to lose, noone likes the game unbalanced and unfair...but lets face it, if you lose to someone who, after the encounter will have no bbs and maybe 3% hull, youll be thinking his ship is better.

That is balance...as i see it. aka- When you win...barely. Problem is everyone wants to win, so the fight for BALANCE is the fight for those +/- 2% of hull, thus, there is no such thing as balance.

There is some other things BOTH sides of the field should remember (something I should learn as well) is that not only big bad ships have no need to fire on small fighters, but ...well allright.


I am biased sometimes, we all are. I use the term lawful/unlawful and explain from the unlawful's side of view since i have no lawful characters as such. But, i keep inmind the other side. I can bitch about my VHF shot at by two BCs, but ill remember that those guys are shot every day by indie OC lolwutdessies and Dragonflyboats.


In my opinion, no, a BC doesent need to engage that lone pirate on sigh, which had knocked him out of the lane...

But..in return, those fifteen bombers dont need to paste that cruiser they knocked out of the lane.



Unless either of them fires first.

While this is an RP server, all due respect, lawfuls should kill unlawfuls and vise wersa, but we are here to have fun, both sides and those in between.

It is only up to us to stop ourselfs from pressing Rmouse and pew pew and judge the situation from a moral point of view.





Before someone says it, yes, I have learned by trial and error, some may recall my [Merc]Sindroms 2x dragonfly GB who was shooting up CR vipers and Corsair titans with a gleeful grin. And surely i have complained a lot about things, sometimes and MANY times complaining my own mistakes, like attacking a LNS gunboat and then meeping, that he missled my weapons off. Yes, we do many stupid things, yet this is where we should sit down and think twice.


Caps and Fighters are two different areas, leave the fighter fights to fighters and gunboats, leave the cap fights to bombers and caps. Got a problem with gunboats? Kill it with a Cruiser. Got a problem with a bomber? Kill it with a LF. Everything has it's weakness and mounting or demanding weapons that are good against ANY ship class is not only unreal but a sign of weakness and the fact you cant cope to thefact you are wounerable...
