Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Will you stop twisting my words? Argue like a grown up, please.

Not every part of an application needs an update when someone adds or removes code. It's prioritized based on impact to the production code. Bumping for example is not high on the priority list, It's not breaking a large enough majority's gameplay.

If programmers had to rewrite the entire code every update or patch, I'm pretty sure we'd be paying more for this game.

Development priorities? This is a GM issue, not a developer issue.

You want to convince CCP of the seriousness of the issue? Then stop flying freighters. When CCP looks at their data and sees no one flying freighters in high-sec, they will see there is a problem and address it. The fact is, freighters are being flown in abundance in highsec, which suggests the issue is actually nowhere near as serious as you want to make it out to be.

Yeah, like all game mechanics.


What exploit?


It's considered harassment, not an exploit.

estrella, sure , i'll go to niarjah when i get the time, i'll pm you when i've started the bumping to see if you're there.

Because if you could fit a DC on a Freighter, Your tank would be some ridiculous 4-500k EHP in structure alone. The Lack of mods is a tradeoff for overk 800km3 available. Take that up with CCP but In my opinion giving them even 1 low/1mid would turn them into High sec hauling carriers.

o_o Boring?? 1)lulz in fleet chat. 2) Potential fights? Since when does potential fights for a pvp group = boring? 3) If you don't know how to have fun in your situation then it's not really anyone elses fault or problem. It sounds like you rather do stuff yourself in eve which is completely okay, your risks just run higher.

Edit:It posted before I could finish typing ):

Edit 2: Also, have you ever been sov grinding? That takes every cake over boring ****.

All this talk of exploit and calls for change, are moot and redundant. CCP was asked to look into bumping, they did. They would have taken all options into consideration, when making their decision. They have posted their stance on the subject.


It's time to accept it and use the other options and tools available. Your failure to use those options and tools, cannot be construed as the fault of the bumping mechanic. Or mean bumping is an exploit.

It looks like sandbox time.

They don't need more EHP and they're not allowed more cargo space.

wait, so when im telling ppl to use escorts, ur actually having trouble believing that i do it myself when i move my stuff in freighters? why?

bumping is a good and intended mechanic. ive said earlier in this thread why its good and its uses. there ARE ways to avoid it, as well as ways to foil a gank. the only ppl saying there isnt have somehow missed the huge list that repeats itself and has appeared through out this thread. I have several freighter chars and not a single successful gank has been made against them. i think this is largely due to the methods that are mentioned here and that ive employed.

if u get ganked despite using these methods, thats unlucky, u wont get away with it all the time (and so u shouldnt, neither will i. anyone who thinks they should be 100% safe is clearly playing the wrong game). but if u get ganked because u haven't employed these methods, as so many of u clearly arent, then u either decided its not worth the effort or u are dumb. either way, its your fault. take responsibility for your own lack of action.

meanwhile, while ur stuff gets blown up, mine gets through the ganks and i make more money than u. hurrah for evolution.
