Wheeeeeeeelp, time to get a new naming convention.

Debating "Come at me bro".... nah, too long. Eh, I'm sure all the major groups have the tags of everyone else already well known.

Good UI improvement is good, nevermind the tears.

EDIT: WH:s are also one of the safest places in eve to put up a POS in. The wormhole mass limits really do a lot. Making it even harder than that to bring in capitals and large fleets would turn us into so pink and fluffy carebears that mirrors would shatter and even highsec mission runners would laugh at our boring lives.

All these changes you rage about are things that I approve of.

I have spent my entire EVE career (it's a short one) in wormholes. Being able to block capitals from systems would be a seriously bad change.

This game is all about player to player interaction and there is no sense in making that any harder.

corp bm didnt made it on your list. why?



The introduction of corp bookmarks was a great addition to the game and it helps everyone in the entire universe of EVE, especially for WH dwellers, bm cans worked, but it was a pain.




It helps the lazy fucks the most.
It is now TOO easy.


There's a difference between challenge and pain in the ass. This issue falls in the latter category for me, therefore it was a good change. Changes that reduces the challenge of W-Space, I'm almost certainly not a fan of.

While I've enjoyed the semi-security afforded by "private" naming conventions, it does make sense that we should be able to copy/paste names visible on scan. After all, we've been able to do it for decades with our PCs, surely our ship computers can do it.

Naming conventions are one of the reasons why we kill so much in wspace even before Inferno and Crucible. It only took few seconds to upload a screenshot of dscan to a site that converts the image text to actual text. Then surprise buttsex.

Your effort was wasted way before CCP improved the UI :P

Honestly, that's simply because people aren't paying attention to their fleets or their systems. In that respect, this won't change much.

Well that's basically what this carebear is arguing, he wants the ability to be lazy with dscan results.

Symbols aren't the only way to distinguish your fleet. Try something like these:

1. Have everyone add a four-digit number, but the first one has to be odd and the rest even.
2. Pick a favorite mythology. Use only half the characters. Send corp list of approved names.
3. All ships have two words in the name. The first word must have a double letter. (green, little, zoom, etc.)

I think that your completely wrong you shouldn't be hiding behind a complicated naming convention hate to break it to you but as hathrul said wayyyy before inferno or cruicible patches we were breaking them in seconds and killing you.

this was always possible to copy tags through other means. this is by far the easiest so thanks for the heads up

Thanks for letting us all know about this handy trick. I'm sure we will do everything to stifle the flow of this information.

Sure it was a pain *snip*
But it was a magnitude larger pain for lazy gankers, and so this is yet another advantage I used to enjoy , now removed.

I've never been a fan of any sort of corp/alliance wide tags on ships.
They're way too easy to replicate since there are hundreds of sites that will do it for you and they make people way lazy on D scan.
Generally all they do is let people know who is coming to attack them off D scan.

Begin mindless disscussion of random additions to wormhole space.



Did you read the OP? Nothing I said wasn't already brought up in that post, Ironically it's your post that is random and mindless.

Basically the unique Character infront is most useful for Class 1-3 wormholes where you might get many HighSec visitors, because many just check out WHs and don't care about ship names.
