Want to kill Burn Jita and Hulkageddon?

IdeaIt's simple!! Fix the Orca so it cannot jettison ships in space for -10 status pirates to jump into from their pods..

This has got me thinking, you can easily fix this exploit BUT do you want to?
Do you want these events to take place and why?

And it amazes me how delusional people are, thinking they are making a difference in eve.. and can ransom CCP etc..
Above line mainly aimed at the goons..


HmmhHHHMMMmmmm...

I did!
Orca is meant for mining not killing miners..

I heard stations are a major factor of this exploit as well. CCP should get that fixed at the same time.

CCP doesn't want to kill Burn Jita or Hulkageddon. Hulkageddon is an almost yearly promise of news coverage, without them needing to take any actions. And Burn Jita was nothing short of a goldmine for CCP.. Good PR, lots of coverage, and even a whole bunch of data of TiDi in highsec and the like under real-world conditions.

CCP would be nuts if they were trying to kill it..

Making Eve a peaceful playground might be nice for some of the players.. But it would end Eve's "field", kill their regular news, and in the end, lead to the downfall of the game. It would end up just being WoW, or Starwars Online, or whatever.. and Eve will never be better at being WoW, than WoW..

…in other words, it's not an exploit. Dumping ships into space for other pilots to enter is pretty much exactly what the Orca is for. Granted, being able to do so also makes roughly zero difference for -10s, but why on earth shouldn't they be able to us this core functionality of the ship?

…and why on earth would anyone (least of all CCP) want to kill Burna Jita and Hulkageddon?

The Orca is meant for supporting fleets in highsec, like all command ships, with a special treat for mining fleets. It's not actually meant for mining itself. It's also meant to transport smaller ships. This is how it's being used in this case, so what made you think that one of its primary functions was suddenly an exploit?

Where in the ship description does it say ship can be used to dump ships in space for players to use..

The ships core functionality is to provide bonuses and store ore..

CCP was lazy on this one, create a new ship model and used an existing function in the code that are used for carriers cargo space. Is the Orca a miniature carrier? I think not!

I don't see CCP stepping in supporting you. CCP designed the orca for support roles in high sec. They also knew about the combat support it provided for pirates for years but did nothing about it. What does tell you, moron?

thats the way a non-station hangar works in eve

same as a pos, it kicks out a ship on command and you get in

Orca is just a mobile hangar array with some other goodies thrown in for bears

So the guy who used a hulk to lure canflippers and then kill them with that hulk was wrong too?
Because a hulk isn't designed to be a ganker according to the general consensus.

Pretty much, yes. Well, apart from providing command bonuses instead of logi support.

It does provide news, but it is also a vicious cycle for suscriptions.

Players will leave, players will join and then those players will leave.. They will never truly build a solid subscription base at this rate.

So it's a miniature Titan (ofc the two bits of Titan functionality that nobody used, but...)

During Burn Jita the Orca was the best way to keep goods moving despite of the Goons. Nerf the ability of it to hold things in its hanger and it would suit the pirates more....
