Solution to part of the crying is simple. Make it so it actually just affect moonharvesters. People that sit on worthless moons won't care much and people that have moons worth it are at least actually big or at least powerful alliances.

CCP really do not know what they could be unleashing.

The next Goon interdiction will be two-fold.

1st - Capture every Highsec POCO they can & set absurd taxes.

2nd - Drop siphons on every money moon they can find outside of CFC space.

You all talk about Goon tears in this thread, you just wait. If will be everyone else's tears that flow on the forums after this new release.

Then for sh!ts & giggles they will gank freighters & miners in higsec while burning Jita.

Most you you truly do not understand the ways that the Mittani & Goons have helped this game over the years.

This game would be more screwed up if it wasn't for their desire to take advantage of all the wholes that CCP introduces into the game with new releases. They even tell CCP that certain new additions are wrong & then when CCP does not listen, they set out to prove it.

I am not hear to kiss the Goons A$$'s, actually they can kiss mine just because I have such a sweet one.

I think the goons by and large have done a huge amount of good for the game catching issues like this.

However, claims that in response you will spam thousands of these seems a bit silly to me, sorry.

You simply aren't going to find pilots willing to devote the time necessary every day to actually do an activity like that effectively. You need to check these things every, single, day... to collect the goods so that they will continue to siphon.

All jokes aside, I really do think most of your pilots will decide they have better things to do after a few days of that.

I must say i think this implementation and the idea of a goo sucking pos module, is a pretty bad feature.

It promotes afk play, and make pos-work even more bothersome and boring than it already is.


It's almost like you devs want pos's to a feature that slowly but surely gets to be a less and less used feature.



that way you can justify not fixing them because only a small portion of the community uses them!



Sigh. Just my thoughts exactly.

The thought of someone dropping a module, then going afk for a few hours, only to come back and collect goo...wow. what a great an immersive feature! - That sounds like a bunch of fun.

Seriously CCP... wake up!


As opposed to going AFK while your moons print ISK and then just mindlessly going to collect it?

It seems to me that this is the pot calling the kettle black. Moon mining is already a passive feature....

Kiss full yields goodbye, and be prepared to defend your space, actively.

Either that, or cry like the goons. They are crying the most because they are going to lose the most.


People seem to forget that to take a valuable moon requires a large fleet and several hours of time. Lets say 200 man hours. If a fight or two happens, tack on the additional cost of lost ships etc. Some of my favorite times in null have been large fleet fights over moons.

Individuals only reap the benefits of moons in the form of alliance/corporate funds (ie: ship replacement programs, selling the goo to pay for SOV fees, system upgrades etc.).

I like the idea of the siphon .. and am getting my small army of covert cynos together to go play .. but I don't expect any real conflict due to this mechanic change. The writing has been on the wall for a while now regarding moon goo & any alliance paying attention has already found ways to fill the gap.

so pretty much all goons will be drones... cuss defending all those high sec poco's while deploying the shyphons on every non cfc pos and eliminating all the hostile ones in goon space and defending agaisnt any groups who will try to take advantage of the ADHD by attacking your space will be a gigantic task...

honestly if you pull if off good for you...

According to your 1st and 2nd point, the goons will be "unleashed"... to become what they most despise. Industrialists primarily concerned with the time sink that grinding ISK will become.

Monitoring your POCO's to make sure no one replaces them (after killing thousands of them to begin with). LOL
Spending hours each day either spamming siphons or collecting material from the few that survive. Smile

Somehow, I really don't see the Goons becoming slaves to the time sink those activities would become.

Hey, I just resubbed after a bit away from the game. Can you entertain me with crazy stories about how awesome it is to fly around and shoot stationary objects in space that don't shoot back for hours on end? I'm in a nostalgic mood.

Nah, they're cheap enough right now to be the ultimate moon griefing tool. Drop 'em and forget 'em. Billion isk hits every remotely valuable moon in a region.

So even with full they keep siphoning? Seriously, do you have a source for that?

Because if you do, that's a pretty simple thing to change. Smile

it's not about that. Every not-CFC POS we interrupt drives down supply, thus increasing profits on CFC POS-mined minerals. We spent weeks interdicting ice, huge logistical efforts to shut down Jita and we basically frogstomp hostiles starting by cutting their economies out from underneath them before actually fighting for sov. If you think we won't find people to harass lowsec pubbies by stealing and/or choking supply for our own economic beneift, you're sorely misinformed.

They don't look to terribly difficult to take down actually. How long do you estimate for a single BS to remove one?

Let's say, for instance, it's 10 minutes. You can drop at least 2 in that time if you're scanning, let's say 4-5 if you know the planet/moons you're going for. At 10m per module, they're cheap enough to keep battleships busy for as long as they want to stay logged in.

And I can see that working... IF you can drop them en mass and they just keep on siphoning.

However, that's a pretty absurd mechanic and will be the first thing the community demands be changed if that is indeed how they are planned to work. It simply makes no sense to have it keep siphoning if it's full. It serves absolutely no positive game function.

That's why I'd like confirmation from someone that this is how they are currently intended to work.

It should be a bit of a red flag when CCP come up with the cheapest griefing tool in EVE for years, and GoonSwarm are the ones saying "hang on that's a bit much".

What exactly do you lot think this is going to do to the Tech 2 market when virtually no one is getting moon materials without interruption? We are actually in by far the best position, in that we have a bunch of newbies who will run around finding and killing these things for a bounty. Can smaller alliances and corps say that?

The Tech 2 materials market has just been handed back to big alliances. We're going to grief the **** out of everyone if this remains unchanged, and make bank while doing so.


CFC space is not behind some impregnable wall. Anyone can get into CFC systems at anytime, and with the new interceptor changes, people will be able to get in much easier. CFC/GSF will not be able to grief EVE with this feature. In fact the opposite will occur. Random entities will start to grief every CFC/GSF system, and I'm not talking about renter systems.
