Ships & Modules

Nope.

She mentioned Tier 3's exclusively and when Tier 3's were introduced insurance disappeared nullifying the cost increases entirely over Tier 2 Battlecruiser while not increasing the DPS of the Talos above a couple of % points that is off set by a smaller DB then the Megathron. Also in that expansion a couple of smaller ships were buffed but they do less DPS then Tier 3's anyway meaning it still takes the same maximum number of Ships to do the Gank as before the update. Now if you are talking about buffs years ago then that does not really matter because this has only been an issue in the last few months and again maximum DPS per ship, per cost wasn't boosted in Crucible.

The Dominix however at a significantly higher cost then before Crucible has increased it by a few of % points in Inferno but not much higher then what we had.

The truth is tank buff after tank buff and Concord Buff after Concord buff and that tiny % that get ganked who do to not take even the most basic precautions scream louder and louder while most of the game that don't load up their life savings and go AFK do fine. In all the buffs and nerfs it is harder now then it used to be years back when Concord was slower and no cheaper.

Orca corp hangar will be scannable and drop its contents in a patch very soon.

Not if it is 100% bookmarks... I figure 10k of bookmarks too would cause some lag upon the person doing the scanning

EDIT I guess I misread your post as the crap would have some value &random bookmarks ocourse have novalue but each one does show upindividually as 1item on the scanner I am told. In the thread about Convo bombs not being an exploight a DEV there saidthat such tactics of creating lag are not an exploight.... it'll be interesting to see if petitions will start popping up bygankers scanning alts & if CCP's decides to label such tactics as an exploight

There is another side effect. The one where you are wasting your time doing it. Drops are not calcualted one time for whole cargo but for each items one after another. Each valuable items still has the same chance of dropping no matter how many of them there is.

Webbing ships and scouts are proprietary methods?

Last time I looked, many gates on the 'autopilot route' from Jita to Torrinos were loaded with goon gank squads.

Actually thats the problem right there;

T3 BC's are so dirt cheap disposable that its practical to suicide gank anything with a double-wrapped cargo, just in case.

Soon the Orca corp hangar will be scannable and will drop its contents; if it was NOT scannable but did DID drop its contents, there would be fleets of Tornados sitting at gates ganking every Orca that came through, JUST IN CASE!


Why are T3 BC's so cheap? When T3 cruisers came out man were they expensive. IMO T3 BC's should have followed that pattern; they should have been 'epic'. You don't suicide gank in a Loki, you shouldn't suicide gank in a Tornado.

Was there ever a dev post or any explanation why T3 BC's were so cheap, didn't lose you SP when you lost one etc?

Loki = Tech 3 cruiser.
Tornado = Tech 1 battlecruiser (T3 in this case means Tier 3)



Because they're Tech 1 ships. You should no more lose SP dying in one than you do in a Myrmidon, Hurricane, Harbringer or Drake (Tech 1, Tier 2 battlecruisers)

Why is the removal of insurance payout an excuse for cheap ships?

I was rather disappointed when I used PushX. Contract went over 13 hours then I cancelled it then red frogged. It also wasn't an out of the way run or anything, but between hubs.
