Every faction has head-to-head type ships, so quite frankly your entire reasoning is moot . For example, the ICC have the AC and AD, quite perfectly apt at attacking within close range.

K'luth hit and run is just how they're designed. We've increased their armour substantially since the last major revision, and they will most deffinately not be receiving another to allow them to go toe-to-toe.

Not to mention that if a faction like UGTO want to jump in and go toe-to-toe, there's nothing stopping you from doing a small 1k~ jump and fighting them.

As with most games the opinion of one player is never enough to effect a change in game. Because this is true, I've decided to post this in order to get more then just my opinion out there in a more effective way.

I spend at least 6 hours in this game a day most days. I've played as all factions at one point or another. I did this in the beging to get a feel for which faction that I like the best. Because of it though I've heard and experanced things in the game that concern me.
It has become more then apparent to myself that the UGTO is the only real head to head faction in the game. Having better armor and weps that do more damage. I've also been told by vets and mods in the game the the best range to be from your target as UGTO is around 1k gu. Putting them right in the face of their opponent.
K'luth are a close range hit and run style faction and ICC is more med to long range style faction. Now if the game was still the way it used to be that might be okay, but the fact of the matter is that the game isn't like it used to be. Head to Head fighting is what PVP is.

Mortal Combat, Soul Edge, Virtual Fighter and the FPS games on systems like Genisess and even before that lead the way in PVP even before online gaming was a reality, and before the internet was a pipe dream. In all of these games and now in MMO games like PWI the person starts at the same lvl and ablities as their opponents, useing upgrades and mods and other things that don't apply to this game the player builds himself to be better (in there opinion) to be better then their opponent.
For example; ICC is more of a long range based faction. Being "Jumped On" renders them mostly ineffective, but putting UGTO ships in their most effective range.
K'Luth are effective at close range but the thing that makes the the most dangerious, also make them vunerable. Aside from their Super Dreads they have to hit and run which leads to one of two out comes. Uncloaking and then cloaking can take to long and cause you to take alot of damage in some cases more then 50% hull damage. Which makes that mostly uneffective, where as the amount of damage you do isn't enough to make E jumping out and cloaking for another pass fast enough that the little damage you did hasn't regenerated most of itself back before you get there again.

Both of these things happen because each of these factions style isn't as effective as head to head fighting. Each faction should have just as good of a chance at a win all alone one on one in space. And not have to need a small fleet to be effective at all.

I will. I dont care if they log. I have a whole system of dictor diployment refined over several years against players better than any here now.

And yeah, I will beacon. I will tranny rush. I will dictor. I will drop troops on ships. I know tactics that nobody starting in the last three years has seen, and I have no problem using them. I will throw frozen monkey crap at you if that's what it takes to kill you.

When I log in, my goal is to kill red things and break their stuff. If I wanted to hold hands I'd play Wow or Eve ffs.

No, the only opinion that matters is mine, just nobody else seems to have realized that yet.

He's kind of right in a way - most of the real fighting takes place head to head, up close, mashing space bars. The dev team has long tried to tweak the game in ways that would theoretically push it toward an ideal, rather than adapting it to fit the play style of some/most/whatever players. (Of course, the ideal is the play style of some players, but my point is that just because everyone seems to default to head-to-head doesn't mean that's how things "should" be. (of course, relatively says there's no "should" and devs are just as guilty, but now I'm just being overly philosophical and undermining my own argument))

Anyway, my point is that ICC need a longer range dictor and kluth need a key lime pie gun. And I need a nap.
