Isn't that the point of a high damage, small area Orbital?

I've seen HAVs escape. Not easy, but they are small AOE.

It also takes 5000 War Points to use which is no small task. It requires a squad working together and not using other orbitals in order to generate enough WP in order to obtain it. I consider this another side of teamwork used to kill vehicles. I see no issue with how Laser Orbitals work.

Well, why should I be forced to lose a 235k Isk dropsuit instantly? It doesn't make sense! Its an effing suit of shielded power armor!!

Wahhhh, stomp, stomp, stomp, rabble, rabble, rabble

If shotguns weren't enough of an IWIN button, now warbarges?

::flips desk, sulks off::

Run a proto Logi suit. 230k ISK is pretty normal.

If that's true, then your pretty bad. I use sica's from time to time when I'm not using my proto missiles, and I dont even lose them except maybe 1 out of 5 matches. If your using adv, you should barely ever lose the tank unless facing multiple(more than 2) AV'ers, and even then, you can still get away most of the time if you know what your doing. Please stop being like Spkr and acting like tanks are UP, you make the rest of us look bad.

Oh yeah, stroke that ePeen. Mmmmm. I love it when people cry with their ePeen out.

I mean really "you'll have no other choice than accept death." Sounds like something out of a 14 year old anime fanfic. Totes adorbs.

Yep.

If a squad does exceptionally well, towards the end of the match the squad lead can decide to pop your tank, or destroy a squad or two of infantry.

A good OB can destroy more ISK in dropsuits than your tank is worth.

If you're worried about OBs then get scarce or recall your tank once the enemy team passes the likely warpoint threshold.

Honestly though if you'er getting OBed constantly, chances are you're reckless and are also dying to the first semi-competent pair of AVers that see you.

I have a problem because I started off responding to this thread with a reason for why this is not a broken mechanic and you responded by freaking out, screaming, and cussing everyone out. So it turned into a troll thread you keep coming back to because you lack the self control to disengage.

Secondly, this to New Eden. You are never, at any given point, 100% safe from anything instantly kicking your ass into next week. This is a fact. At any given moment, under the right circumstances and given the coordination and setup of the enemy, someone will **** the living **** out of you. This is the nature of the New Eden universe. You may not like it, and that's fine, but welcome to New Eden and if you don't like it, the airlock is right over there.

Why does a sniper shoot me in the head when I stand still when they could just run up and kill me with a knife? Because they can't...

Lol I mean really dude? Your logic is so abohorrently biased that it's clear you basically don't want anything to kill you, "because it's a freaking tank." It's people like you that make me ashamed to admit that my main specialty is into vehicles because when I tell people that, they just assume I'm another biased, self entitled player like you, interested more in feeling like a badass than actually a properly balanced game.

I will admit that AV vs vehicles needs some work, but the mechanics of the Laser Strikes is completely reasonable, you really need to just get over yourself.

No, I'm just not an idiot and I understand how checks and balances work. You simply don't like the fact that I don't agree with you, so you've convinced yourself that I have no idea what I'm talking about so you can just simply assume I'm incorrect.

Again I repeat, you are never, at any point, 100% safe from being blapped into oblivion without any warning. There are COUNTLESS situations in EVE which will instantly kill you, without warning, and without any way to avoid it if you don't know it's coming.

HTFU.

Decloak delay nerfs shotgun scouts, just as it is difficult to hit a moving target with a warbarge.

Geeze I guess I'm just really good at dodging Orbitals then. I'm sorry you have so much difficulty.

EDIT: But hey, I'll hear you out. How about you stop complaining for a couple seconds, and tell us all what you feel the appropriate amount of damage the Laser Orbital Strike should do. I want to see some hard number suggestions.

Dukey, quit slandering our name.

For fucks sake, just stop complaining all over the forums.



But to reply to your OP: The major laser warbarge strikes cost 5000, and is used by a ship that makes a Python look like a fly. You don't think, you know, maybe a spaceship of that magnitude carry some firepower? Even if it's a minute laser beam on their end, it would look like a fireworks barrage on our end.
