Your Eve client sits waiting for you to roll your mouse, click on something or press a key. Whatever key you press, whatever mouse action occurs, a function is called and things swing into action.

Let's say no inputs occur for 5 minutes. Your drones redock and/or your mining lasers stop. Let's say no inputs occur after 15 minutes, your mods turn off.

If any of the possible inputs occur, timer restarts. i.e. Active players are not penalised - ever.

You're not there? We don't care. Cascading systems failure. Worth a thought?



Notes:
- It's not a new thought but "AFK" seem to be a point of contention and generates a lot of "I hate you".
- AFK miners, missioners and cloakers are exempt from this thread. They won't see it anyway.
- This does not stop bots. If you suspect a bot, please report to the approriate authorities.

You have got to be MAD!!. I like the idea of having to be at keyboard or your mods shut down, i would never leave my ships out in space. To afraid I will come back with no ship.

I'm a nerd, you can check my stats!! Skilling Int/Mem at 45 sp per minute is how I mack!     I'm like a lapdog, all bark no bite.

if you make my mackinaw's yield 17.5k m3 per cycle per laser then sure, this idea has my support, until then... no.

Let me add unless you are talking about my covert op ships. That should never be changed.

people don't afk mine by choice, there's absolutely nothing to do while you're waiting for an asteroid to pop, there's 0 reason to be interacting with the game until your cargo is full, or your asteroid pops. that can regularly take more than 5 mins.

afk mining isn't something people decide to do, it's some thing the game pretty much makes them do. even sitting with the game window open staring at the cycle timer doesn't make you interact with the game, there's no difference between being at the keyboard or away from it in regards to mining.

I don't CARE what afk miners and missioners are doing.
I don't like the idea of mods being automatically shut off. I AM the one to decide when they go off. IT IS MY SHIP.
There have been times when my husband and I have had to RUN away from the kb to help our kids if they are hurt, or something has happened. We know we are fairly safe because we cloaked.


My ship - MY control - Do Not mess with MY Stuff.
SO NO.
