Hello Caleb,

Your Caps Lock button appears to be stuck.
This issue can usually be fixed by smashing the button a few times, or the issue can be circumvented by manually pressing the "shift" button while typing. While this may prove bothersome, it will allow people to read your posts without thinking of you as an illiterate baboon.

Also I have no idea what you're trying to say with your message post, beyond "HI CCP" so I'm going to assume you want to nerf AFK cloaking and not try to reread anything you said.

I am the Zodiac, I am the stars, You are the sorceress, my priestess of Mars, Queen of the night, swathed in satin black, Your ivory flesh upon my torture rack.

Thank you for clearing this up for me. As I understand it, this is a feature as commonly seen in shooters. The enemy hides behind a structure or rock to prevent or reduce incomming weapons fire and negate damage taken. As you're describing this, the feature as implemented by CCP appears to be working as intended, the enemy is indeed staying safe from incomming weapons fire and giving you a hard time to hit and destroy them.

Hail our CCP overlords.

NPCs don't "take cover" behind structures, they simply fly into them and bounce off them for ever and a day. They try to fly directly towards you, but have no ability to avoid the various collidable structures in space. Casual Incursion runner & Faction Warfare grunt, ex-Wormholer, ex-Nullbear.

oO, imagine having to be in line of site to shoot someone.... lol, would be interesting if we could fly in behind a structure and the missiles or whatever coming your way hits the structure instead of your ship.

And, yes, the pathfinding is irritating, principally because there isn't any. Zappity's Adventures for a taste of lowsec and nullsec.

And so you explode instead of bounce when you fly into buildings and asteroids because you didn't want to click in space.
