So you're killing off ninja salvaging and can flipping as a professions how is that not dumbing things down?



Since salvage is not covered by the same rules as everything else, I do not see how this will change.

You can't balance a game around the assumption that people have awful ISPs because that only ever opens the door for new and fun exploits. If you have an outage, do what you would normally do: get back online ASAP.

Awesome job Team Five-0 !!!! o7


Although I still think that salvage should have the same rules as taking things from other people cans... Since it takes parts from the loot. Only because it have "no value" it doesn't means that it is not a crime. You can get arrested in RL for stealing a coin...

I don't see a way to do it, but under these new rules, is there ANY way to extend/reset another player's timer while they're not present or docked? Or can you only affect your own?

Because unexpected timer-extension is bad.

If you can find a way to do this, then I've missed something. You speak the truth about surprise-timers being bad

Now you've made it so that Tech 3 pilots can't abandon ship. It's not a huge deal, most Tech 3 ships go down fighting. But this was something that you originally included as an interesting gameplay choice that you are now removing.

"From time-to-time" is not the same as "In the middle of combat that isn't going your way"
If you were suprise-ganked and weren't shooting, you can eject as you wish. But once you make an attack, you are committing yourself, for good or for bad.

If I remember correctly ships will warp out to a "safe area" if you disconnect, unless you are already pointed.

Though I applaud you for saying so ( Blink ), in fairness, ninja salvaging has always been a gray area fringe profession (more-so than even can-flipping to be honest), and will move forward with this in some form or another. The real nerfs to the profession came more than a year ago with loot drop and salvage price dives, and the community has and will continue to find creative new ways of ruining someones day regardless. I'm honestly not too worried about the effect his may or may not have on ninja-ing as a profession, because if anything, it blows the doors wide open for conflict escalation and tom-foolery. Again though, you're right with can-flipping; without a sizable backup fleet with logi support, this is effectively dead as a new player "profession".

As long as you have assisted drones on someone, and he commands atack, you will atack its target too. And if he have a LE against the targed and you not, you will get a surprise "Concordokken", this is the only passive flag change that i can think...

Ninja salvaging isn't touched in any way, and can flipping gets a nice two-way increase in stakes β€” as the flipper, you are now a free-for-all target, but if he manages to fall for it and steal things back, then so is he.

…now the safety system, on the other hand…

"For bad" here being, "the loss of substantial skillpoints". True, ejecting from a ship as a means of escaping cause and effect and consequences to your actions is in the long-game, bad. But ejecting from a T3 to escape the SP loss still has (had?) its consequences, namely leaving behind a 500mil+ ship. I understand that there are obviously exploits to be looked at with this, but I feel like the choice should be there for a pilot to commit to either losing SP or ISK, especially in the case of piloting a T3 which tends to be heavy on both sides of that coin.

Gah, ninja lootytooty then, I always lump them into the same box because If you've scanned down a mission runner and have been salvaging his wrecks and spot a xmil mod (fair bit for a new player) might as well take it, that now opens you up for universal agression?


so, new players suffer.


It's also gimped the whole dualing thing that so many honor bound 1 vs 1ers go for.


It's definitely a step, I'm just not sure where to and I'm not buying the dev back patting that's going on around here.

There's a mention of kill rights, particularly that you get KR from a Criminal act being done against you, so according to the charts that's pod attacked in lowsec, assistants of a Criminal, or ship or pod attacked in highsec (whether it's destroyed or not).

Apart from the assistance bit, you've correct.

Quote:
Does this mean that kill rights for ship (not pod) destroyed in lowsec without aggressing back to the attacker have gone, or is that still in the new system?

Ship-ship aggression in low-sec will no longer generate a kill right. Super Friends have a blog coming along that goes in to this in more details about how this will work.


Alrighty then, look forward to the details on that.

The rest of the changes look good to me Cool

itt: good news !

now we only need an improved limited engagement system that allows a group of pirate players to fight a group of police players that engages only one of them

Just to clarify some scenarios that we encounter regularly:

1.) A nullsec mining fleet sees a hostile roam coming their direction, they crash the clients to prevent being seen. Right now, all the non-pvp aggressed ships would leave space after 60 seconds. With the changes the ones who had been shot by belt rats recently would remain in space for up to 15 mins where they'll easily be scanned down and killed?

2.) A supercarrier fleet is going around creating sov timers, reinforcing ihubs/stations unopposed, destroying offline towers, attacking POCOs. Their internet fails and their clients DC. Right now they would vanish in 60 seconds. With the changes they would persist in space for 15 mins where they can easily be scanned down and killed?

3.) A super capital fleet is involved in a pvp skirmish while out on operations but they're almost done. They cyno back to their staging system, warp off to their own towers, and log. Right now they'd vanish after 60 seconds. With the changes they'd persist for up to 15 mins with renewable pvp aggression?

Kill rights

Performing an action against another player that gets you a Criminal flag will also award a kill-right to that person. This will happen regardless of whether or not the target ship was destroyed. This will feed in to the revamped bounty system that Team Super Friends will be talking about very shortly, so look for a dev blog coming from them soon.


Currently, Kill Rights are granted under the following conditions:

* As an aggressor, if you attack a ship (Go GCC) and aggression is not returned upon you by the ship you are attacking, the other party gains kill rights on you upon their destruction.

* As above, if the attacked ship does return aggression on you, they do not gain kill rights on you if they are destroyed.

Will this continue to be the case, or is just the mere act of attacking a ship will grant kill rights on you, regardless of the outcome?

Maybe, but people were exploiting this all day long by ejecting and immediately scooping up the ejected ship with another one...

Yes

I'm pretty sure we're going to make shooting structures owned by players give the attacker a PVP flag. So probably yes

They'd persist for 15 minutes after they were last involved in PVP, and that time can be extended after they log
