It is a good feature in my opinion, and I'm happy to see all those Null-bears crying rivers over this feature!!!! This will be an awesome conflict driver.

If a null bear ignore it he loses 5% income.

If he puts on the system, someone can come and grab 20% of his money. If he is not a carebear he will pop the ship with the tags in the cargo painting green his KB. If he is a carebear he will cry!

If you want to grief someon lay this in the system and let an afk cloacker to watch it and drop a covert cyno over it.. You will get action!

If you find a system with a rating bot. drop it there and then collect 20% of the bot bounty latter. and probably kill him after that...

If you want attention drop it and kill some rats. but leave a cloacked feel watching it to pop who gets near the prize!!!

Many uses. All these make carebears cry!!!!

Please read these!

Bad. Interceptors can warp to zero to steal the precious and every other ship has to slowboat through the bubble. Insufficient upside for too much downside. If CCP is that bent about ratting income (optionally in nullsec), then lower it instead of playing "heads I win, tails you lose".

BAD.

Not a fan of this device concept.


Ganking is a good enough mechanic to take from others what they earned in the game. This device pushes that concept too far.

I would rather seen it as a siphon unit type of thing.
Scan-able but no beacon. No Nerf to bounties just a few percent off the top if no one pops the unit.
