Missions & Complexes

As long as there is ISK in high-sec exploration, older players with SP and ISK are going to farm the sites. If they can't use T3 ships, they'll just use faction fit T2 or pirate cruisers and you're back where you started, except the problem will be Gilas and Ishtars instead of Tengus.

Banning T3s from high-sec sites is just treating the symptoms instead of the cause.

I agree with the change though, it's silly to put them in the same restriction category as T1 cruisers.

Suggesting that your idea would change "the whole dynamic" of exploration is probably the most arrogant thing I've read today. It would have zero impact on "the dynamic" of anything. It would change which ships older pilots use to blow through these sites at a breakneck pace, but I doubt that would be much comfort to the people trying to clear them in their meta-fit T1 cruisers.

I was feeling disgustipated this morning. It was a brief post more geared towards shock. My apologies if I offended.
Not sure what my age has to do with it however, if I've been scanning for 2 months not much to it...considering im flying. Imicus w/frig 5 and all the scan bells n whistles (no dsp) with my faction geared T1 alt following.
Its become ridiculous lately. If I see a tengu in system, I know to just move on to the next...
something has to change I feel-
since the explore profession has been introduced I am wondering if the scan sites have been added to compliment the now over abundance of scanners.
Also, as it stands I don't feel the mechanics of allowing t3 and t1 into the same site works well or plays fairly for the newer players .
so in closing, more sites geared for particular level of ships...t1,2,3 ...that would be swell.

News flash... EVE is not fair

Also... because I don't have the skills to fly a titan, they should be removed from game.

Discussed in another thread - yes i think it is out of whack when you see what rewards you can pull in, but the problem is not 'tengus', but too easy scanning.

the problem is and, is not overcrowding of hi-sec.
and this is also not a personal problem as someone posted.
I also understand those with t3's resentment of my statements.
the problem is ultimately lack of content for the growth of the explorer profession due to dynamics possible unforeseen when this profession was developed and born.

What I have proposed is simple and quite logical. Perhaps those running systems with their DSP 70% advantages and t3's racing for the overseer, looting and being on their merry way wont agree with me, of course they wont. Just as similarly, me at such a disadvantage will not agree with them.

What is wrong with adding more content geared towards individualized ships?
Its human for those at the top to say everything is just fine as is.
as well as to berate the person, with so few SP who suggests such blasphemy.

I want to explore. I also want to run combat plexes that have a chance at juicy prizes. In the relative safety of hi sec.
Those have become very very rare for me these days.(as luck alone would have it? no, not just luck there are other factors)
As such the lowly player i am, I can scan down 5 sigs to 100 as fast as the best of em. But here I am still at a disadvantage due to other factors.

I personally think I bring truths to the discussion. I see no negative arguments thus far as to why more specialized and individualized content cannot be added to a great dynamic of this game.
I simply see the usual SP ego warriors at work here.

Or how about this- make every damn signature in the game truly random, dynamically so. That would be just as fine with me as well.
As exploration stands now, luck plays less of a roll than what ship you fly. No bueno.

Nulls sec is better off course...but wait u need a s*** load of SP to do some sites in there (combat ones).

U know CCP can always change the ships allowed through acceleration gates...they can make high sec combat site to allow only t1 ships if they wanted...but since 90% of the high sec explorers are ultra carebears with tech 3 or tech 2 who never leave high sec and 10% explorers , like my self, who are restricted to high sec combat sites because of low SP not because we don`t wanna go to low/null.

BTW low sec exploration is way better then high sec...been doing some low sec mag/radar sites ..can`t wait for my skills to get better to start the combat one.

My caracal with T1 light missiles beats tengus through 3/10s 100% of the time. I've literally never been beaten through a 3/10, even when there was two of them and one of me.

4/10s, tengus do do better than a drake, but they should, they cost a lot more, are pimped a lot more, and require a lot more SP.

fail explorers are still fail explorers...this will not fix the "issue" at all. This is an even worse idea than the OP. This would just result in threads from the same people asking "why are the XXX mod i got from my local ded variant worth half what they were?" A change like this would need to either be accompanied by a nerf to the drops or the market will simply autocorrect and we'll end up will more drops that are worth the same total amount anyway.

To address the OP's issue, you need to find a way to attract a good number of HS explorers elsewhere. nerfing ded 3's & 4's would be a good place to start, though I'm disinclined to make changes to a game with the soul purpose of supporting players who do not want to put any work in or make any tradeoffs.

DSP's are a bigger problem then T3's, it's way to easy to jump from system to system and hand pick sites without much scanning. Force people to actually spend time scanning, and let them fly the ships they trained fore.
