Thank you thank you thank you.

No more capitals logging off in sites when a new wormhole opens up to the system.

<3 you CCP

When you log with aggression u do warp but you just dont disappear for the aggression timer. So you will still warp out of the mission you just wont disappear from space.

Question:

At fanfest you guys said that ship killing (but not pod killing) in low sec would only drop your sec status to -5, not -10, and that you'd change high sec so that you can still go anywhere at -5, unlike the gradual system of exclusion that currently exists. Essentially, this would allow people to be low sec pirates without locking themselves out of high sec, provided they don't podkill.

Is this still happening? (please say yes!)

How does ejecting help you escape from bubbles?

Current system does not allow you to pod player with GCC in high-sec without concord interdiction. It also leads to security status hit.
Question: How is it going to work with CW2? will players be allowed to legally attack and kill pods with C/S flags? Will it result in security status reduction?

oh so you read it as no change.

I took it as remains in current space location due the comments about ship destruction under NPC flags. But I can see now that might mean probing and destruction by PVP.

Still pretty annoying flags given the NPC/PVP flags stay with you for 15 minutes -- even if you won (finished) or escaped prior combat.

Now its 15 minutes of enforced idleness to be safe from probes...even if severe storms or its now time to go to work. Can't really mine because rats might attack even in hi sec.

15 minute PVP flag alone wouldn't be quite so burdensome in most system. although if you can evade for 6-10 minutes you can probably evade indefinitely...unless that 15 minutes is for really slow combat probe operator or badly organized fleet slowly flooding system.

Maybe a robotic arm could extend from your ship and slap the other ship with a dueling glove.

Low sec means just that, Low security. Not no security.

If you want to freely attack targets, move to Nul sec, No security.

Having thought about these changes I think that on the whole they are going to be good for Eve.

So as a T3 pilot I need to de-aggress for 60 seconds before I can eject. That seems fine to me. If I'm attacked and want to avoid the skill penalty then I just need to plan for the ejection rather than use it at the last minute to escape.

I have a concern over the use of the suspect flag in HiSec for newer players though. Lower skill level pilots have always been able to be selective in whom they give aggression rights too by choosing who to steal from. A 1 month old pilot may be happen to give a 6 month old pilot the option to fight but not want to go near a 2 year+ player.
So I do think that this might limit the PVP possibilities for them. Of course it may turn out that lots of other new players get flagged as suspects and the newer players can just hunt each other, but being open to attack and podding from all those older players feels like it may be bad for the newer players.

Personally now I've got a few more skills trained I'll be happy to see who wants to come after me.

Podding in HiSec will probably reduce the number of players willing to even get involved in a fight, as many HiSec dwellers will want to protect their learning and missioning implants. I think if the pods were still more protected in HiSec then we may actually have seen a much larger increase in HiSec pvp.
For me it will just mean 24 hrs planning before changing between pvp & pve.

The only thing that I think might be bad news is the use of the suspect flag with sec hits in LowSec. If the flag is global does that mean that a pirate (or gang) can use an alt sitting at a safe spot to get themselves flagged as suspects out of sight of the gate guns and then as long as they maintain that suspect flag just sit at the gates attacking anything that comes through without the gate guns ever getting involved?
Its sounds to me as if the gate guns need to open fire every time the suspect flag is reset by attacking someone. But at the moment the gate guns seem to be linked to the sec hit and not the suspect flagging.



This ^ is what I mean.

As I do like to fly around LowSec solo, the gate guns being on my side has always made a big difference to what I can do and I would be sad if a well tanked ship just needed to hold me in place while his friends attack me, warp off to get rid of the gate gun aggression and are then able to fly back in and freely attack me with the gate guns firing at them. That just seems like a massive nerf to the LowSec gate guns.

Now if I was stupid enough to fire at all of them and get into multiple Limited Engagements with them, well then that would be different.

Will this mean no way of getting 1v1 frigate fights outside stations in highsec while waiting for trade orders to go through unless you’re in the same corp?

If so, that's kinda dull.
