EVE General Discussion

Many people believe the reason people do not go into LoSec or NullSec is because they are too scared to lose their shiny ship. That is not the case[ EDIT: IN MY OPINION.]

Here's the real reason: [EDIT: AS I SEE IT ]


1) Lets say you were brave enough to see someone in local and decided to do your thing anyway. Your only defense is D-scan. You may have few seconds of warning when the probes show up to warp out (and you have to pray whatever youre doing doesn't have warp scram NPCs or whatever). But the PROBLEM with D-scan is the mind numbing stupid "feature" of clicking it every 2 seconds. I can't think of a worse gameplay feature than clicking a button every 2 seconds. Its ANNOYING, and not worth it when you can earn money in Hi-Sec without having to use this stupid D-scan.

2) Otherwise if you do not D-scan, All work stops when there is someone in local, and your ISK gain potential goes down by a HUGEATON because you are sitting waiting for the person to leave. You can never trust ANYONE to not attack you. In NullSec you can get lucky and have the system to yourself or with friendlies for a few hours. LoSec usually has at least one person, and you are forced to cease ISK gains even if its a 2 week alt.

Give a more reasonable way and advance warning to know you are being scanned. Then you'll see the population spread out.

Thanks for listening.

No local but an auto repeating D-scan feature would be an amazing improvement.

Just removing local doesn't do anything to solve this feature. Without local It may give you a false sense of security to hit D-scan every 10 seconds instead of every 3 seconds, but that would not be a very wise decision.

i agree wholehartedly to the op if it comes to zhe button. it stinks. it makes my braincells die.

i do think there are other reasons why ppl dont go to low though.

Because assholes like me try to kill them. I fully know why people avoid low sec. Send more miners, i enjoy those.

Yeah, once you figure out which ones have gate camps - people are uncreative, they really are - it's pretty much a breeze.

Would you say the same if they took auto-repeat off modules? It's annoying/repetitive and either in the way or on the other side of the screen.



I can't recall any lowsec examples offhand, but scramming triggers aren't uncommon in wormhole sites.

Not ~botting~ i hope

but it IS easy. there is not hing as easy as hitting that button.

also, even if d-scan would autoupdate, ppl would fail to pay attention. just because its about as hard to pay attention as hitting said button.

What if your car had a throttle cut off if you didn't hit a button every 2 seconds? It would be easy to press. And if it was on the steering wheel it would not interfere with paying attention to the road. BUT WOULD YOU BUY A CAR LIKE THAT, if there are so many cars that perform nearly equally as well?

I feel that in a game, it matters less that a feature is balanced and matters more that it's entertaining. If it can't be even mildly interesting, it shouldn't be tedious. This is why I think Dscan can be improved.
