So I want to start a real thread about this. Here are my thoughts from the first topic which was locked indefinitely:
As someone who has lost several well-built tanks to OBs, I don't like being torched by magically placed beams of destruction with imaginary points.
I wouldn't be annoyed if I at least knew the OB came from an EVE ship hanging in orbit 100% of the times I get striked. A little effort and coordination to match what I put into driving tanks.
Right now they seem over used and unrealistic. They literally appear from nowhere, come from nothing, and destroy everything. Gay.

What war barge? EVE did away with most npc crap early on, DUST should too. OBs should be from player ships only, not a made up war barge. Or does it come from an invisible pink unicorn shooting rainbows out its butt? With that said OBs should totally be multicolored and touched up with some sparkles and glitter. Hell, rain down some pixies while your at it. They'll magically heal all troops on the battlefield. |

Okay, here's a question: Do they exist in new eden space and vulnerable to attack?
Just like the npc ran market in 2003, I believe this system should and will be replaced. |

You need to be participating in corp battles/factional warfair, in witch (to my understanding, corecct me I am wrong) all OB's are player originated. What you are suggesting isn't ever going to happen in pub matches, so get over it. Your "real thread" doesn't seem very realistic to me, not even in the slightest.
Well then, lets hope public matches are removed. Right now they're a necessary evil to acquire sufficient sp and isk.

Nobody likes those players anyway. Random blues make the game unplayable half the time. I say good riddance.
I figure pub matches will decline once other types factor into gameplay and take over. Kinda like: "you still play pub matches? N00B" |

This
Is
a
bad
idea.
There's a lot of morons in EVE who are actively wanting DUST to fail because it's not on the PC. Or because they don't want something other than internet spaceships to matter. Or because they're jerks.
There's a lot more who don't see any reason to give a crap about DUST, and thusly will not participate in assisting us in any way.
The few who care are mostly here in beta, and the ones remaining are not enough to insure that there will be good fights to be had for us. DUST will stagnate and die if we have to rely on Podpoppers to do anything.
While I would train warbarges, I think that corps with a warbarge pilot in orbit should get some pretty awesome boosts to their game, and the warbarge pilots be rewarded along with their ground forces for taking the risk of flying a ship that's about as optimized for space combat as a brick covered in sandpaper.
There's also a lot of cool people in EVE who like to help others and jump at chances at new ground breaking content. I'm sorry if your experience was limited to scammers and immature hatemongers in local chat and underhanded wannabe pirate corps who do more mining, ratting, and bitching than something worth going an extra mile for.
Just saying, don't be so pessimistic. Have faith in our EVE brothers. |

Player-based OBs, installations, other tanks, possibly heavy aircraft in the future, and a more than adequate plethora of AV weapons. |

'I hate having my tanks OHK'ed.' I hate losing 55k ISK every time a tanker pulls a trigger on me. OB are fine. We need a way to retaliate against tankers who drive and shoot too well.
I think 'named', paid for with $$, and eventually proto AV takes care of that.
Kinda bugs me there's no $$ counter on vehicles. A little lopsided? |

I've seen first-hand the destructive power of many types of capital ships. From POS bashes to full on multiple Titan fleets. I have no qualms with getting destroyed by that. |

Just to clarify, I am not the same person who posted the original thread that got locked.
I've played EVE since 2003. I know the meaning of loss and unfairness.
I simply desire the realism of getting shot at by something that's ACTUALLY there and not something that only has an interior and unlocateable externally. I'm all for using imagination but c'mon... It's stupid. This isn't a budget game or company, the means are available for things to make sense and be awesome. |

No bitching here. Just discussion. Go QQ about your mediocre perception in your own thread, preferably on a forum you made yourself and no one else belongs to.
