I apologies for believing the ESS was a completely useless piece of crap with no sensible use. Credit to whichever smart bastard figured this one out.

There was a 100 page treadnaught where we all tried to tell CCP that this ESS thing was stupid, unwanted and just plain broken. Of couse they didn't listen.

Protect me from knowing what I don't need to know. Protect me from even knowing that there are things to know that I don't know. Protect me from knowing that I decided not to know about the things that I decided not to know about. Amen.

keep this crap in null and get it off my wormholes!

these kinds of things make me think CCP hates us wormholers


We need MORE pvp in wormholes.... not less

So we should presume you cannot get PvP in W space if you can't catch unsuspecting people?Lol

Just think of it as the horn of the apocalypse heralding your arrival. Let the locals hear the sound of their impending doom!

At least the ESS has 'one' use now.

It can be used to your advantage in low class WH's.

Just warp to it and set it off every 15 mins or so. It forces the locals to flee to their POS and remain there. Meanwhile they are batphoning their hermit friends.

Do it in the middle of the "night" for their primary timezone.

Makes a great trolling method. Use multiple accounts. It will go off over and over making them think you are moving in or staging an invasion. Then shoot down the stupid thing after you had some fun with it.

Once you scout a few pilots logging into their POS, leave.

Crime, it is not a "career", it is a lifestyle.

Hey! It's almost like nearly every large null-sec alliance overwhelmingly said the ESS was pointless, poorly designed, and would hurt the gameplay it proposed to encourage. Oh wait, that did happen, and all we got was a trivial change to the bullshit mechanics that plagued it.

Mad props to whoever figured out the anchoring distance thing though.

So if it can only have one per system, then it's not like you can cover every wormhole in your system.

Look on the bright side!

Now you can PvP in something without a cloak! Isn't that liberating? Cool

This is wonderful. I hope we have many years of whine threads just like the margin trading skill!

Now all we need is to allow these in highsec. I would be happy to fund the placement of them in all the popular highsec mission hubs. Just remember guys, gank their blinged mission ships after they have worked a few hours to pile isk into the pool.

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

Nice work on this CCP, ignored 100 pages of players saying don't introduce crappy module that was rushed into development.

For something to cause this much gnashing of teeth and wormholer tears makes me believe it's an awesome thing!!

Big ups, CCP!! Twisted

Like every other bit of truly emergent gameplay, CCP will probably nerf this ingenious use of the ESS into the ground. Pity as this use makes the ESS actually worth something.
