There is now no timer to open the ESS window where the player gets to choose to Share or Take all, but both options now have separate timers on them. Share requires 30 seconds, Take all requires 210 seconds. Moving out of range while the timer is ongoing resets the timer. This prevents players from safely leaving an alt on the ESS and sharing as soon as a hostile enters local.
Interacting with the ESS now puts a warp disruption effect on the ship interacting with it. Ships immune to bubbles are not immune to this effect.


What prevents someone from parking an alt next to the EES and simply scooping it when local goes +1 ?
As far as I could tell the scooping took no time and there was no way someone could catch you before you scooped it up.
Wait till local goes -1 and deploy again.
What am I missing?


Scooping doesn't save the lp/tags/isk , the rewards are stored in a "system bank" so if you scoop your ESS you are just letting the hostile deploy one and steal your isk.

What will happen is when a "ratting Op" is going on a tank thorway Maller alt will sit on the ESS. If a neut comes in the person controlling the alt will press share and 20 seconds later everyone get paid. The hostiles will claim 1 maller kill and one ESS kill and thats about it.

For some reason CCP thinks it will be otherwise and encourage carebars to fight. I think it might encourage CCP to try playing their own game lol.

I hope you are right. When I tested this last week, it seemed to me the rewards followed the ESS and not the system. I' pretty sure I picked one up and moved systems (it's possible I'm confused about the moving part) and after re-deploying I could see the rewards still available.
For the sake of the feature I hope you are right though.

Were there a SUDDEN changes in ESS characteristics right before patch?
Because ESS in first incarnation gains 0.02% LP bounty max., and now I see 0.2%.
Was this change planned?

ESS

Quote:
While active, NPC bounty payments pay out full value, with 80% being paid directly and 20% being stored in a system-wide pool. In addition, for each 1000 bounty ISK you get 0.15 Loyalty Points, these are LPs for the empire navy based the ESS type.


Can devs please confirm if this means LP is meant to be paid out on the WHOLE bounty or just 20% of the bounty? At the moment it seems to be paying out LP on only 20% of the bounties.

That doesn't necessarily mean that the rewards move with the ESS; it just means that once you redeployed the ESS it reconnected to the "system bank" of the associated empire.
