EVE General Discussion

You know, it's funny how so many companies around here have rules about socializing with potential clients or business partners because of the difficult to quantify affect a single drink or meal could have. Like I said, if all you can see is a glass of coke, it's you that is the issue, not the coke.

Yeah if you run missions in a bling fit ship or under war dec, you'll get ganked.

If we're assuming the mission runner is a total moron, then yes there's "risk".

Right below your portrait at the top of the forums, there is a button that says "Dev Blogs".

So what? A link to the Dev Blog should have been posted in the op to begin with, especially since the op pertains to it.

Also I'm not gonna waste my time searching for it when there's way too much crap to sift through here in this sub-forum.

Missions are awful. Having to grind them forever in order to do things in EVE is probably not a great idea. I'm grinding standing with a corp up to 8 now, so I can install jump clones in the system I moved to. Rather than continuing to make them in my old home on the other side of empire space and moving them over. It blows. I can only run a few missions at a time before I get really antsy and want to scream like a madman and run up and down the street naked with a package of cold cut meats stapled to me in various places. Next I'll probably give in and grind missions a bit on my market alt to evade taxes. That'll be a blast.

If allowing any noob to set up a tower in hisec is an offensive idea, I guess they could make them like ships and work skills into it more. Require Anchoring 5. Rename Starbase Defense Management to Starbase Operation, and require lvl 1 for a small tower, lvl 3 for a medium, and lvl 5 for a large. So nobody would be able to anchor a large tower until they are actually capable of fully doing their part in its defense.

I dunno why anyone wants to babysit a POS anyway. Just another part of EVE that is annoying as hell.

FEED ME SEYMOURE!!!

Standings could reduce the science and industry taxes/fees by up to a certain percentage. NPC corporation standings work on stations and faction standings on the POS.

Apparently you get trolls by shutting them down and then watching them scramble around like ants trying to label their destroyer as the troll.

hm.... you bought it somewhere? So it IS tradeable.
So it CAN be sold again.

Yea, that was really difficult

Everything that involves probability weighing on the accuracy of predictable outcomes changes what is called called risk. Anything that increases the accuracy of the predicted outcome decreases risk.

If you take one cycnabal against another cynabal, you expose yourself so a certain percentage of chance that you are not going win. If you take two cynabals against one, the chances of you losing goes down. by putting two cynabals in the fight you have decreased your risk and not doubled your risk as your logic implies. You knowledge of risk versus reward is incomplete if you do not factor in changes in probability.


With regards to standing though I disagree. Its high time that they quit making industrialists grind missions. I've never liked them. It has nothing to do with the forum arguments. Putting Mission Princesses out of spacedock is a risk, ask any ganker. Its common knowledge and not worth arguing.

The amount of time to grind storylines is as excruciating to me as mining veldspar is to many. I know people that find it relaxing, I do not. I can hardly wait for each anomaly or mission to end. The payoffs are not worth my time.

The standing idea is a farce also. Part of the persistent universe idea that I was sold was that standings meant something and I gathered that people would actually respect standing so I guarded it closely. People do not respect standing and neither does the game. The rewards for standing are paltry especially for the amount of time invested. If they did not stink so bad people wouldn't give away or sell dirt cheap corp and clone services.

be done with them, be free.

Some recent vid said something like "The empires are losing control" ... there's your vague hint.
