nice!

I'll point out that you had the ability to post this on 11-11-11 11:11, and missed.

shame on you.

Glad to hear of the mag site buff, used to love running those (as the t2 rigs i produced generated a nice profit) but found them less and less appealing after the Apocrypha changes

These all look like nice changes. I approve. The metal scrap change in particular will be very nice. Their current large volume irks me to no end.

--- This change involves reducing the size of metal scraps to 0.01 in volume...

Throughout the game...??? Ooh... interesting.

--- Exploration dungeons will now automatically despawn within a few minutes of being completed, even if players remain inside them.

Just DED complexes, or similar things, like Wormhole sites...?

Also...

--- CCP Punkturis has added a minimise function to pop-up messages in dungeons.

Nice.

Punkturis, is there any chance you could also have a look at the 'close' ('x') function on normal windows... it currently seems like a 50/50 chance these days that when you mouse-over it, that it's going to vanish just as you're about to click it, then you have to move the mouse away and back again to get the 'x' to re-appear... Frustrating :(

Damn all these edits... too many questions... ;)

Can you guys say something about the 'distribution' of all this new stuff...? Is it being confined to Null, for example?

reviewing the average payout for anomalies and increasing their values. You will see more NPCs in anomalies and, best of all, more ISK in your wallet!


If a player is already receiving the max ISK per tick he can with is skills, this is, he maximized the isk return on anomalies, more NPC's are not going to help anything. You just have more rats to kill and will take longer to finish an anomalies since you cant kill them faster! In the end, you get same isk but spend more time on same anomalies! If you really wanna boost them and make us raise more isk, you need to boost the bounties on the individual rats!

And I would suggest giving a 'bigger' buff to the low-end anomalies like hub's and stuff like that to make the crappy space and crappy anomalies less crappy but keeping the hing-end anomalies the gold mine!

I really like this part. It's so annoying getting hundreds of scraps when salvaging after a level 4 mission. Now they're nice and compact

I would like to assert that the minimize button is a very small change.

If you take all the sand out of the box, only the cat poo will remain.

Did you remember to change the volume of Reinforced Metal Scraps as well? :D
