EVE General Discussion

So let me get this straight, you're complaining about T3 pilots ninjaing sites from you yet instead of doing something about it you're posting on the forums in the hopes that CCP changes the game to suit you better as though your opinion matters?

Sounds like you're the one acting all "uber hard core". EVE is a PvP game, deal with it.

Also, I'm pretty sure I'm in love with Tippia. Says everything I want to say but without getting banned.

But but but, what else am I supposed to do with a maxed out officer Tengu??

This thread accomplish anything yet?


We know who the real carebears are.

It is not a question of overpowering with the Tengu but why take 15mins to do something when you can take 8 minutes to do it?

Nobody is going to take twice as long doing something just to make someone else feel better???

Ok, you are right, my central notion is wrong.

I got blind to my own actions in a vain attempt to defend nubs. Like mentioned I also negated the SP cap in my own way as a noob by going to lowsec and not contesting at all, and later when I did a stint of hs GSO harvesting I used a purpose-built Ishtar that guaranteed win every time.

So, I lol at myself.

Also, ban T2 and T3 ships from hisec!

I agree with you 100% that they are specifically designed to make plexing easier and more efficient. With that said, they should be restricted to doing it in low sec.

Also you're quite wrong about me thinking its "not worthwhile." Im a high sec Tengu explorer hipster. I've been doing it long before you nerds realized it was cool.

I like how people howling about the notion of putting keys in plexes are apparently unaware that several of the current plexes already have keys of one sort or another.

I have read this whole thread and a lot has been said.


I believe the "KEY" question to all those crying (Tel Airuta, etc) is:

At which point is someone a "veteran" (or 30mil SP supercarebear) versus being a "noob" (you);
Who makes that call and at which point?

Since this would be your mechanic to "limit" the plexes; If they are a noob, let them have it, if not get out.

Think deeply about this and you will realize there is no way to determine this, thus CCP have implemented realistic limitations based on ship class.



To address your original concerns, it seems you are just misinformed, you need to learn a few things about plexes:

the 1/10 plexes do not allow anything bigger than a frigate (assault ships `the best`)
the 2/10 plexes do not allow anything bigger than a destroyer (interdictor; sabre `the best`)
the 3/10 plexes do not allow anything bigger than a cruiser (strategic cruiser `the best`)
the 4/10 plexes do not allow anything bigger than a battlecruiser (at this point strat cruisers are generally best)

These are the restrictions currently in place, and they work quite well.

For example they protect newbies in the 1/10 plexes, as they don't allow Thrashers in who would murder them.

Many plexes do currently have Mechanisms and systems to protect "blitz" looting, it has changed very much over the past several years. Many of them need to be cleared before entering the next room as well as many of them REQUIRING keys that drop from overseer structures.

Several years ago, the 1/10 "intended for n00b" plexes were open & keyless, this led to constant farming by seasoned players in dramiels / interceptors with afterburners. The n00bs were never able to get the keys and farming was done at a higher rate. After keys were introduced, farming the plexes got tougher and the modules recovered a bit, and are now on the rise.





About High Sec:
It is not a free for all 100% safe zone; there are various mechanics at play as the security status lowers.
For example, the concord response is much slower in a 0.5 versus a 1.0 system.

Thus newbies should be and are safer (from ganking) in higher sec areas, due to faster Concord response.

Even though 0.5 is high sec, it is considerably more dangerous than 1.0 if you have something expensive in your cargo hold.



Instances:
Seems that what you want to do is enter a "dungeon" and take your time killing every little ship and collecting every module. There is nothing wrong with that, and that is your thing. Unfortunately EVE has no instancing, and everyone shares the game with everyone.

Eventually people get over the novelty factor of getting random mods and simply want the CHANCE of getting a high end module, which more often than not, does not come at all.

You have to scan down that 3/10 plex, and the faster you can scan it down, the quicker you can get in and get the juicy loot.



let me know if you've got any other questions :)

Explain why.
