Missions & Complexes

Scanner users already have far too much content. Wormholes, complexes, archaology, hacking, and also an enhanced way to PVP (warp in using combat scanner probes) are all unique to the scanning profession. Why give scanners even more content? There are lots of play styles that need additional content before giving scanners even *more* content.

What would you suggest?
I heard the complaint but no solution or ideas offered.
Is it the miners you worry have too little to keep them occupied?
Maybe the PVP folks have too few ganks or other players to shoot?

Exploration was advertised as a career from the beginning but was never fully developed.
Recently they began to focus on finishing some of the original work and have corrected a whole lot along the way.

I would also like to point out that the majority of the folks who scan are only doing so for specific purposes.
Finding wormholes for moving shipments in and out of worm space since a vast amount of manufacture goes on in worm space. Wormholes offer little to an explorer in the way of reward.
Combat probes are used in militia and gang warfare as well as alliance warfare in null. Using probes to root out ships in 'safe' spots and also finding cynos is again not something that explorers do. There is nothing in that for them in the way of reward.

So I am curious what play style you refer too when you say there are other styles that need additional content.


personally I would like to see more mission content pertaining to specific ship types....such as a mission for logistic pilots so you can train to become a better logi pilot.
Or maybe a mission where you have to fly an ewar ship and you have to use various ewar to support mission fleet thus making you a better ewar pilot...

days now and none yet.

Totally disagree because of this:



What a... wrong idea...

Well, I have given it a solid week of exploring and scanning and running sites and ..... h-sec sucks ass now.
There is no way I can enjoy the game unless I have a large block of time to sit and dedicate to gaming.
The 15 min and 20 min blocks of time that I get during my day I spend scanning and then maybe running 1 site.
H-sec is either over-explored or has no sites to run. I have yet to find a single 1 or 2 of 10.
The sites I have been able to find and run have paid less than the cost of faction ammo to run them.
The game officially sucks for me.
I am not a PVP player and I will never be a PVP player.
CCP, you have geared things too much in the direction of PVP and made it impossible for me to enjoy it any longer.
Something needs to change to give folks something to do if they only have small blocks of time to play.
Fleets don't want someone who is only there for 5 min after the time it takes to form a fleet.
Perhaps after the holidays I will be able to play a bit more but for now....there is nothing to do in game except trade and set up a job or 2 and then log off again.
This may sound like a bunch of whining..because it is.
I am sad and unhappy and frustrated with EVE.

Botters crying about the removal of static PLEX's, Good job CCP.

What's wrong can't script a bot which can farm is that a little bit too hard for you to do with your sub par programming skills? Ah well best get ice mining then and leave those faction drops to actual players :).

You could also find hidden static PLEX's to farm too btw.

Yet again good job CCP.

+1 from a newly gutted and dead Ravarin. Not only should they be put back but more should be added to non-FW low sec systems and NPC null.

You did not gain valuable loot on every drop and it was anything but easy with 2 or more guys waiting on the respawn. As far as the gate restriction that only counted inside the 1st gate You could use whatever you wanted at the entrance.

Seems I am not the only one having a time trying to locate them.

Someone commented on bots and farming.....This recent posting is not about farming or bots but rather about having something do do if you only have 15-20 min to play at a time.

It's great that action was taken about the complaints of bots and farming/camping etc....

I still hold firm to my belief that the wrong action was taken.

The sites should not have been removed from overviews. They should have been made to despawn or not respawn if the rooms were occupied.

That would have stopped the BS of waiting until a room was available and running the first room and getting the key and opening the second room only to find that some person was sitting there and continually scooping the loots. (Usually AFK).

I like running the anoms, and signature sites. That is why I chose to be an explorer and not a militia fighter or some worm space goon or ganker o miners.

I enjoy scanning and finding sites. I get frustrated when they screw with the mechanics of it.

CCP has changed overview....changed probes....changed signatures, changed sites, changed overview a couple more times, changed signature tables and loot tables again, and recently changed all the symbols and how you center probes......

I had not posted anything in over 2.5 years and just kept dealing with it and looking at it as 'growth ' or 'progress for the masses'. The recent changes however are like Microsoft has taken over the mechanics of it. Colorful point and click.

Concerning botters, it were quite enough to remove static 1/10 and 2/10 from only high sec.

CCP, please! Solo players need static complexes back in low sec!

Since the 1/10 DED sites are listed as 'Beginner' sites, I see no problem if those remain static, as long as they don't drop any Faction loot. They can still drop the Overseer boxes, Pirate Tags and various Tech 1 loot. All other DED sites 2/10 and up should remain with the exploration probing mechanic.

That will prevent the farming of Faction / Deadspace loot while still allowing Low Sec Frigate PvP's their combat arena as well as new players in High Sec a chance to experience how DED Complexes actually work.
