Katamari On The Swing

Yesterday we killed 3 rolling battleships, each with their own peculiar fitting.

There is not a standard rolling fit or a standard rolling ship, though there kind of used to be back when the Victorieux Luxury Yacht was still cloaky and nullified, and the same for the rolling T3's when cloak + nullification + higgs rig was still a thing.

Now, aside from C1's and C5's, it's basically the job of a trashy Alpha in a shit fit higgsed BS, or just a higgsed BS, maybe a Devoter if you can't maths.

But there are some innovations yet in this hotly contested phere of PYFA warrioring.

First up, it's the 100MN Sigil. For the price of only 5.5M ISK you can have a rolling Industrial which essentially does the job as fast as that 200M ISK BS hull.

If you really want to be fancy or lame, fit a cloak and a probe to actually save 5M ISK if your maths are bad or the roll goes badly. But seriously, your shittiest third alt on your second account can have this and lose three in a day and you won't even notice!

We know that CCP is aware of the need to roll holes, and that people contort shit and try bizarre fits in order to achieve it. Hence the higgs rig, and the no nullification + higgs rig change, and they are now expressing concern, if that's the right word, over HICs and bubbles as a mechanism for adjusting mass.

Hopefully they won't go down the same route as the Monitor FC ship with this. Whilst there's no go-to rolling meta anymore, putting one back in does tend to make the game stale and boring. I remember the Yachting days with a burning feeling in my urethra because it wasn't about skill or a novel fit or anything. it was just fucking yachts rolling a hole with utter impunity in 5 minutes for the risk of 60M ISK + pods.

That said, a module that adjusts mass downward for BS, though not to the level needed to get into C1's, might be a quirky innovation to allow the bigger coalitions to blob more arty machs in to their next eviction.
