What the Delta fight showed: Capital & Group Fights being ruined by...

[Sombs]

Sombra, I don't think this discussion is meant to be about the finer points of last night's fight, about Sairs/Order vs Core and others, or about base siege mechanics.
It's about tactics that are "cheap", pretty much impossible to counter in a real world scenario, and pretty unfun for the people involved, regardless of which side uses them. The issue is that these tactics take away from traditional fleet engagement strategy and turn these fights into a race to be the first to press the gimmick button that allows individuals to influence or more accurately ruin a group fight to an extent that individual ships probably shouldn't be able to.

Karst, you had plenty of ships with CDs around. Don't tell me you weren't able to counter it. NEMPs are used on large battlegroups and those was one. Snubs and up to battlecruisers can CD them and at least reduce the possible damage by having it explode in the distance. In most cases I've witnessed the NEMPs being launched from a distance. People can cruise out. If enemy snubs are around to CD, they are likely to get hit by the NEMP as well. Usually you launch NEMPs not into your own groups.
