So limited engagement to people in the plex ? And then limited engagements from everyone to everyone as people enter the plex?
Sorry I think that is even sillier. Would be a coding nightmare, on top of a potentially server crippling performance issue.

The bigger issue is, it's not broken, so it doesn't need a fix.

LIMITED ENGAGEMENT.
Totally different then suspect or criminal.
FFS ppl follow the conversation...

Cough cough Princess... cough.


Calm your ****, was just busting your boobs.

Matters not to me, I engage everything.

it would be a limited engagement timer, and it would be for entering plexes. The timer is between the neutral entering the plex and everyone already inside. It has the lone purpose to not reduce the sec status of anybody. This is true for both parties because the timer is obviously bi-directional.


When you say "entering plexes", do you mean that the LE flag would be triggered on landing on the beacon, or on activation of the accel gate?

I have doubts about either working, to be honest.

when landing on grid of course. Could be implemented in verious ways. E.g proximity to the FW beacon. Warpin lies well within beacon range.

A trigger based on landing on the beacon would be a bit bizarre - nowhere else uses that mechanic and it would be damn fiddly to implement. The flagging system is based on actions done to other things, not on your position in space.

if it is properly implemented it doesn't matter at all. Client would just display those limited engagement timers, server validates actions when they happen (e.g you fire at someone). Standard "lazy" implementation. No need to flag everybody against everybody when they enter, they get flagged on demand. LET would happen anyway in a fight. It would just happen earlier.

suspect flag would be easier but it has other problems since it is a global timer and sticks after they leave the plex. LET are private between players in an engagement. Thats what they are designed for. And you engage by entering the plex.

the flags would happen anyway, no performance or coding issues here.

many disagree with you here.

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

Those people are mostly all farmers and therefore their arguments are invalid. Of course they would want it changed...

farmers don't fight and use trial alts. They cloak, or warp away. The whole topic is fairly uninteresting for farmers.
