Which is the right way to run sites. Probe them down, spot the BPC/T2 salvage and cloak a bit above, wait a couple minutes, you'll see another T3 nullified dude cherrypicker on top go straight for those cans, let it start his thing, uncloak target point shoot loot and salvage his wreck, you'll get more out of its cargo/salvage/modules loot than running the site yourself.

Plus keeps your space clean of vermin for your true friends.

Loot bukkake!


I love the bukkake if you know what to grab it's easy to get the good stuff. They should add this mechanic to asteroid mining and I would probably like 'roid bukkake too.


Congratulations sir! You have solved the AFK mining problem/issue. Strip miners strip all the minerals off the astroids and they go flying into space roid-kkake style.


That's the idea. No more morons with 50 ISboxed barges (NOT) playing a game to make isk.

2) I like this ejection thing - should be applied to ship losses and POS bashing as well.


So, when you bash a CHA and 100Km3 comes out, you're supposed to lose most of it because your fleet might have 20Km3 free space. Brilliant.

The spew mechanic is not bad, but can't say I enjoy it. Its like when my GF cooks something she's proud of and says is really good but it's not and I just have to sit and smile to make her happy wishing I could have ordered a pizza instead. Definitely not an experience I want to pay for in a game.


Well we are all entitled to our opinion. I cannot speak as to why you would not reorganize your fleet to be in a position to collect the loot created. That is your problem.

All I can say is that the idea of scattering loot is more immersive to an exploding ship than a can full of everything just sitting there.

Welp, after playing a few times and getting quite a few decryptors in low-sec I've figured out the pattern.

Use a cargo scanner, always use a cargo scanner.

Decryptors in there? Click on Parts boxes.

Datacores & Blue Prints? Data boxes.

Cables & Cords? Material Boxes.

Relic Sites only really have rig things, which you should be clicking on parts I believe.

It seems to work, yeah you'll get some coal etc. but the decryptors were 100% in the boxes I mentioned.

Skillbooks are always in data. Got a couple.

Avoid scraps boxes at all times.

Dude don't mislead people like this. All the boxes contain carbon. The new game sucks, the loss of rats sucks. exploration is dead. everyone should go do something else Twisted

Money at its root is a form of rationing. When the richest 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion (50% of humanity) it is clear where the source of poverty is. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/20/trickle-down-economics-broken-promise-richest-85

Yes, if I want to play mini-games there's no shortage of choices outside EVE, but I don't, hate them, and now EVE has it's very own.

How about a multiplayer version of hacking?

Make it so that there are multiple cores, each with a different loot reward. Accessing all of them should be very hard/impossible for a single player, but by cooperating with one or two others they could get all the loot.

The game should require some coordination between the players. And now there is no more reason to have loot spew.

No need, since the system is at least partly self regulating. The value of that loot has already dropped to a fraction of what it was before the expansion.

You realise you can use a cargo scanner on them sites right and figure whats in them before you hack?

EDIT: I really couldn't be bothered to scroll through 4 pages just to see if someone had already mentioned it...so if someone has, many apologies...

It's human nature to want to explore. To find your line and go beyond it. The only limit, is the one you set yourself.

This was done to get explorers spending more time uncloaked and on site longer, to increase the chance of getting pointed and shot by someone. While you are hacking a site you can't be cloaked. While dicking around with can spew you arent cloaked. AND with the added bonus of getting you to bring a buddy along to get shot also (to grab all the drops).





One interesting note: Unlike the old system, where a sig would remain in system until you opened a can AND left grid, in the new system, the sig pops after you unlock the first can, which means that the window for hunting people without combat probes is actually kind of narrow (unless they pre-scan the sites and use them as bait).

I tend to blitz the closest of the easy-mode cans in a new site just to get my sig off the grid.

I thought they said they fixed that a while ago. Will have to test somehow.

Also yes loot can spew is terrible. Exploration is no fun and unprofitable. The game would be much better if all of you moved on to other professions.

Sounds like someone is bitter because all the newbies have caused a price crash.


Smart players are letting their pawns do all the hard work, snapping up things at a low price now, and then sell stuff for a profit later when prices go back up. I wouldn't be surprised that half of the price drop was intentionally caused by people screwing with the markets.

So, it started as Spew, then became **** in a cup, and now its Scat.......

No matter what name you pin on it, the destination remains the same.... the toilet bowl!

But hey, CCP arent known for listening to criticism of theur New Features so I guess this horse apple of a system is here to stay, bad smell and all.

Think I'll let someone else deal with the Scat and I'll focus on popping them and taking everything from one single convenient container, you know, the way it SHOULD be ......
