EVE General Discussion

Hey guys, See See Pee Random Goon here with a fantastic update on Eve Online's upcoming imbalance-themed expansion, Rubicon! I'm proud to announce we've changed even more attribute numbers, transforming several old and boring ships into entirely new and interesting ships via different stats! And as for new, never-before-seen ships, we're releasing two alliance tournament prize ships for public use! The new ships--a Sisters of Eve frigate and a Sisters of Eve cruiser--can probe, fight, tank, and warped cloaked! Never bother flying another ship in nullsec again!* And speaking of warp speeds, we've changed interceptors and other small ships to warp over ten times faster! That's right! Interceptors are now over ten times more awesome!* But wait, there's more! In addition to installing ludicrous speed engines in interceptors, we've also made them immune to bubbles!* Because balance is something for little people! Hooray!

In Rubicon, we've decided to completely go batshit crazy with other imbalanced game concepts, like siphons! Yes, that's right, batshit crazy! Now, with siphons, you can spam every single moon of a particular mineral type with siphons for less than the price of a fully fit dreadnaught!* Act now while supplies last!


Well, that's all the content we have for this latest expansion! Enjoy your newly-imbalanced barely-cared-about cash cow that funds our new virtual reality game that won't be released on the same platform as what all our customers already use! Just like how we strangled our first-person-shooter attempt in its infancy!

Oh, I almost forgot to add, we're finally concluding the Tyrannis expansion by allowing you to shoot customs offices in highsec!* And in case your interceptors weren't going fast enough at TEN TIMES CURRENT WARP SPEEDS we've added a whole new set of player-made warp speed implants! Yay Rubicon!






















*Goonswarm Federation and friends will most assuredly not be abusing these imbalanced features in any way, shape, or form whatsoever.

Given that we have a Like button, can we also have a 'This is just stupid' button as well?

I remember back when I started Goons were not allowed to post.

I think that needs to be implemented again since I can see now there was a reason. Except for a few that actually do have good posting skills.

Maybe a bit less ranting and bit more structure would make you look less whiney.

holy ****, you just made my eve-day. thanks

You've been paying for the ability to play the game?

Goons keep trying to say that this hurts them less than other small corps/alliances, I don't see how since the larger alliances are the biggest target for this they're the ones with moon goo and mining ops.. now that everyone can drop a siphon it's become a threat to.. well everyone.

It's been explained to you at least a dozen times that Goonswarm Federation and other very large entities have the manpower and the timezone coverage to both deploy siphons on enemy moons and monitor their own moons effectively for siphon activity, while smaller groups do not.

Please explain which part you don't understand yet.

Because you have plenty of empty conquered systems even now, larger alliances in null make them a much more rich target for siphons and disrupting low sec operations won't cause the prices to rise as much as disrupting the larger ones in null




from page 70, so if siphoning the better moons yields more profit why would I or others target lesser operations unless of course people waste their time to **** them off, all there needs to be is some pirate corps to go out and deploy them in null, if there are lot of siphons in multiple systems you will also have to deploy manpower to defend them does that not create more pvp ? i'm thinking CCP is just trying to do anything now to get rid of how stale null will become if everyone is blued up.

I'm pretty sure it was like that every time since like 5 years ago already, don't see any reasons to act surprized.
