Wanted clarification on something.

I was told by someone that CCP was creating a "probe scanner" that will be able to scan down cloaked ships. Now it won't tell you exactly where the ship is, but the area of where the ship is cloak in.

Did anyone hear anything about this coming out next year? This would be huge if true.

Thanks for any help on this.

They are getting rid of cloaking altogether I heard from a guy.

I heard from CCP Guard's next door neighbor's second cousin-in-law's former dogwalker's niece's college roommate's exboyfriend's mother that highsec was being removed.



It was either 'highsec is being removed' or 'I just bought a new vacuum.'

Pretty sure it was the highsec thing.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Don't worry about it too much, I heard from another guy that the guy that guy talked to was full of ****.

Is that niece a red head with a big pair of rocket launchers majoring in biology but only cos you cannot major in Kittens ? If so I think I met her once at a Stones concert a while back.

Yeah. The new 'Hidden Dragon' launcher. It's a COSMOS only item.

Get those skills trained before the skillbooks all get bought up by the speculators. They'll easily cost 10x what they do now by the time the BP is introduced early next year.

I know for a fact that they are getting rid of clones. Also they have been thinking about perma-death.

Thus I can conclude come Rhea, we will all have only one clone and when we get podded we will have to start over. Better join a corporation lest your assets have no inheritor.

Next up: Wills will be items for trade favored by ransomers and pods will be insurable with life insurance.

Brave new age, I say.

Wow that would be a thing, I might not ever dock. This game would become so empty, you would log on and have 7000 systems practically to yourself.
