I predict alot of dead interceptors...

As alot of people will forget while they warp super quick they are not super strong..

1. Pretty sure I read that the ships that warp slower than 3.0 au/s aren't having their travel times changed much as they are already slow enough to have their travel times affected by low cruising speed. Battleships are where it will hurt the most. Probably the Orca too.

They may do something about fast warping ships appearing or disappearing from grid in a single tick, either by slowing deceleration speed so you can see a ceptor landing on you, or introducing an effect to indicate when someone has warped (although this exists, a targetted ship that gets destroyed blinks, a warping ship just disappears).

2. won't change because the pirates always spawn first giving you a warning, also the explosion should be tankable by larger ships like a buffer-fit t3.

The high sec sites can be tanked by a buffer fit frigate.

While you're entirely correct, I still predict that the forum will be inundated with the shrill cries of people who think that their Anathema should be able to get all of the loot, all of the time, however.

It's going to be hilarious.

I tend to agree.. most nullbears just look at local and as soon as someone that isnt friendly drops in.. stright to the POS/Station

Speaking of ghost sites...

No loot spew on containers in them. Why would they chose to implement this for only ghost sites and not all of exploration?

I actually really, really hope this one doesn't happen. I know it probably will, but bleh..


True, but several years ago CCP doubled the number of rat spawns in NULL... and it wasn't the carebears in Empire spilling out buckets of tears for that.

Shoe, other foot, etc.

I think you may have misunderstood my post, either that or I am misunderstanding yours- The latter is entirely possible given my current state of sleep deprivation.

I want the timer to remain. Heck, I'd like for ghost sites to be made a heck of a lot harder than they're looking to be right now. I'd love to see them double the effort needed to clear them... so long as the rewards stayed proportional.

Respect. Cool

Considering the fact that I have seen increasing numbers of certain ships being sold, I expect to see additional revenue upticks maybe as much as a few hundred percent.

I was trying to contain myself reading about how carebears are going to go exploring, ceptorbears are going to be doing more active roles in fleets, Mauraders doing more missions even level 5's etc..The expected isk increase from the replacement market will be just in time for my holiday event "Bash and Destroy" in December.

I had only planned on spending 10-15 billion starting wars and having people whacked, but it is looking like a cool 25 billion will go towards this form of player emergent gameplay. Twisted

Because ghost sites are time-sensitive and have their own mechanics that wouldn't mesh well with loot spew?

-siphons siphons siphon yaaaa haarrrr
-much more usage to the electronic attack ship... mmmm dat sentinel.

I don't have any particular predictions, but I sure am glad I dumped my stock of T2 RLMs a couple weeks ago.

Dev Blogs, bro.

But as for the non sarcastic answer: They are hybrid combat/exploration site, that gives the materials and blueprints for the warp speed implants but blows up if you take too long, damaging your ship, then summoning rats without a bounty to try and kill you.

All in all, fairly dynamic.
