An alliance mate and I want to shoot at each other to test our ships. I drop a can, he takes from it and goes flashy red to me. We shoot each other for a while.

How can we do this now without exposing the can "thief" to a suspect flag that will allow everyone in system to jump in on the action? I thought there was going to be a provision made for this, no?


I'd like to ask this too...

What patch notes don't tell you:

EXPANSION ABOUT NERFS, Because Missiles were ok for 6 years now but now they're overpowered.

a.) PVE

1. All missile ships are now obsolete (very low range and decreased damage)
2. All Drone ships are now obsolete due to new AI (your drones get targeted as soon as you deploy them)
3. All ships that rely on drones for protection against frigates are obsolete
4. NPC's tracking disruptor now affects optimal range and falloff instead of just optimal range, which makes 800mm's minmatar ships obsolete in pve.
5. All npc complexes and ark missions are now insanely hard to do, you can't use drones
6. There are only few ships that can save you from mission if you loose all of your drones and get stuck (scrambled with npc agression).
7. New meta 9 - 14 drone modules are obsolete for pve, since ai will always shoot your drones.
8. If you use marauders or other ships for guristas missions you'll get perma jammed, there's nothing you can do since you can't use drones.

b). PVP
1. All Heavy Missile ships are now obsolete
2. Drake is worst battlecruiser for pvp
3. Hurricane got nerfed so it is kinda useless now
4. Tengu now sucks compared to other t-3's
5. Very hard to gank someone ratting in low sec or 0.0 with stealth bombers or frigate since npc's will switch targets

Quit Bitching about peeps.
EvE is EvE not everyone will be happy with changes. People still adapt and become better. Now if balancing things does not work your way may its time to get some skills in Flying better.

Thanks for the ECM Nerf
Thanks for the new destroyers
Thanks for making the other T3s good as they used to be
Thanks for nerfing OffGrid boosts.
Thanks thanks Thanks.

Apart from the usual crybabies losing their all-in one OP compared to other boats, most people will enjoy the new patch. So STF* and be thankful CCP has consistently made the game better and better.

That's a gross exaggeration. They will target drones, but not go after them soon as you deploy them. It just means you need to pay more attention to them. You can still use them just fine.
Drake is actually better for PVP now thanks to buff to HAM and T2 missiles.
Can't comment on canes but they were OP. Remember, they reduced Projectile weapon PG usage as well.
Tengu was OP.
Missions are as easy as they've ever been. The only thing you can't do now is run them AFK.

The CSM XI Election are now open until March 25th, 2016. Consider Niko Lorenzio for CSM XI.

CSM matters, your voice matters, your vote matters!

Sorry to insist :s

Despite what these bittervet, CCP planned to improve drones'boats damages with a bonus gain from drone damage amplifiers. But I can't find a mention of the change in the patch notes.

Is this an oversight or was it delayed ?
