i don't see any dev responds here. If you think this fix has no side effects, well i can't help you with that - its a very narrow vision of a open universe.

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

What I don't think is being explained here is this, if you revert back to the old way of the rats not engaging the allied FW pilots; all you will start seeing is people using FW alts to complete those missions. For example, under the old NPC AI:

Player A is in Gallente FW and has an alt in Caldari FW. He accepts a mission with his Gallente alt and then pilots to the system and activates the mission, then stops warp and safes up. He then brings in his Caldari FW alt and uses that pilot to complete the mission. The Caldari alt won't get targeted by the Caldari NPC rats, so it a simple affair to find the mission target and kill/complete it.

By having FW missions rats use the same AI as regular mission rats, this can no longer happen. Yes it makes it harder to tackle and kill FW missioners in mission sites, but at the same time FW missions are no longer easily farmable by using alts.

Standing tank was fixed. Now it's working as intended. Enjoy.Big smile


It's pretty stupid if working as intended, e-war is going to make all the rats switch to you, which actually is giving the advantage to the person running the mission.

I can live with the fact the forces you are allied with attack you, while it does seem a little ********, it's a game mechanic thing. The fact the every single rat is going to shoot at you is just unfair, unless you fly something very well tanked you are going to lose your ship or be forced to warp out shortly after applying web/scram, at least that is my experience with the harder missions.


cant argue with this post

ive lost a few tengu kills due to this


Yes, and it's working as intended. What's the issue?Cool


Carebear farming of FW missions should be as easy and safe as possible, eve is all about making risk free isk.
