Hi,
So all of you probably seen the trailer I was there. After almost three months living in null I can proudly said I was there too. I mean, I participated in some of the big fleet fights. It is great feeling to be part of something that big and something that works like well oiled machine...but. But I think I enjoy more the classic low-sec pirating or small gangs and roams.
Don't take me wrong. I am not saying that those battles aren't epic I am just saying that they aren't exactly my cup of tea. FC tells you what to shoot and you start shooting. Becouse of the lag you can't enjoy the great graphics of EVE and have to have your camera completly zoomed out and that sucks, at least for me. Also there are those famous kill mails. Sometimes you don't get on them becouse target is dead before you can even lock him, but that is ok we are not playing EVE for km's are we? On the other hand it is greeat feeling when you got yellow-boxed, you almost dying and your brave logistic guys save your ass and that expensive piece of junk you flying int he last second. I admire them and I think they deserve more respect then they have.
The other thing about those epic fights is that they are often preceded by long time waiting on titan before anything happens. And then it comes. Bridge is up, you are jumping in, client freezes sometimes, then you are there few light years away and there are 5 battleships against your 50man gang speak about fair game. I know that EVE isn't exactly fair game but this is boring little bit. When you got in fight where nubers on both size are same its something else, but it doesn't happen often, or at least not for me.
What I am saying is that I like roaming small fleets and low-sec pirating far more better then those huge null fights. In small fleet there is usualy better atmosphere on comms, no one is so stressed out (remember that Shadoo video?) and fights usualy last longer then one cycle of your weapons. I think this attitude of mine goes hand in hand with the fact that I preffer to fly small ships (tech 2 Gallente frigates forever!!).
So what is your opinion on this? What kind of fights do you like the best? There is poll on left side and please feel free to comment and share your opinions.
