Test Server Feedback

Do you know that a interdictor can warp 2x10 AU while your MJD spools up? You see where the BS align, warp there, come back at 100 to where they are now and after they jumped you are on zero of their MJD jump.

Also you will barley see a fast ship like a interceptor or interdictor on your dscan when it warps to you. The dscan timer is longer than it takes for a dictor to be on your grid and bubble up.

The idea is ok, the server tick is too slow though: so this feature is broken.

Well i just found out that with rubicon there will be a new kind of implants that will increase warp speed.
Now coupled with an allready 12 au/s sabre " instant appearing in grid " this is weird. I mean, you could check your 14.4 au scanner but il will land in 1.1 sec. assuming you are full speed and spamming scanner ( anyone remember scanner re-click interval? ).

BTW some pro elite ownage will come out with the " deploy cynojammer argument ".
Yeah nice idea, but i'm still obsessed by the 15+ au/s bubble immune cyno ceptor traveling 3 systems/min i pointed out in another thread. Now it will go even faster with warp implants, light cyno out of grid or even out scanner and then a sabre will land on you in 1.1 sec.

I'm a poor beggar with no super.... i've nothing to fear so i'll @ least leech some super mail with a bc/bs but i'm not sure this mechanic it's " fair or legit "

I think it is kind of ironic how the passive intel provided by the local window was always commented on as something that should be replaced by a more active component.
And now the one active intel component available, the d-scan, gets utterly obsoleted by ships capable of passing it in less than one scan interval.

Yeah I wonder about that too. Both QA and CSM where doing something else apperently when this came up as an idea.

Well warp speeds are impresive but tbh it just changes so many things in bad way, it destroys to many mechanics/behaviors etc it must be toned down a lot

A perfectly reasonable fix was already suggested. Simply keep warp speed deceleration the way it is pre-Rubicon, giving pilots the chance to see a ship landing on their grid. The initial acceleration being fast is fine since the intent of that change is to see where an enemy is headed and get there before them. Increased acceleration from zero coupled with the higher warp speed of interceptors and dictors achieves this goal easily, but having such ridiculous deceleration coming out of warp is overkill and clearly broken.

There's no need to mess around with server ticks (on hardware that is already routinely stretched to the limit on its 1000ms ticks as it is) or increase dscan range (making dscan unbalanced). Just keep deceleration as it is now.

This guy came with 2 solid idea, an official CCP reply would be much appreciated.

I don't understand why everyone is make a huge deal out of this, this hurts small gang yes. It also makes small gang that much better, it is going to make it possible to catch people you normally wouldn't be able to.

That being said, the amount of time it takes for your ship to slide on grid is the amount of time you should see it on your overview. Either way I like this new direction, you always gotta have a little risk with your pvp.

In the end its going to force a more aggressive playstyle if your in any sort of fleet.

Well this does do 1 thing, there's no real need for a cloaky interdictor anymore I'm sure people will still do it.

Though if your over 14 au out, you have to know which gate they came to in order to warp to it.
