no

Thanks for the info. Re fw, did anyone mention timer rollbacks in plexes?

Very reasonable adjustments. Let's see how this plays out wrt. bots.

Damn, didn't think about that. Great observation.

Wouldve been nice if stabbed ships couldnt run the timer. Oh well.

You remember " you cannot jump because you are.. you cannot jump because you.. you canno.. you canno.. you cannot jump because you are cloaked". They fixed that and at the same time made it impossible to enter plexes cloaked. So unless its a bot that decloaks shortly after you cloak your astero its gonna be more miss than hit.

Provided they don't change anything other than the broken-from-the-start ability to stop ALL spawning by killing one weak-ass NPC then the 2nd or 3rd wave will be too much for the barely armed farming fits.
It might slow farming down as they will have to rely on mains to clear spawns or add damage by axing the fitting intensive stabs, opening up for proper rodgering by others.

Problem is that even if the change is 100% effective the resulting slowdown will be imperceptible for the most part due the sheer number of farm hands (the swarm can currently flip an entire warzone within a week .. numbers are simply staggering).

Let's hope they manage to sort out null on their first try (they are competent, innovative people! ) so that FW can get the changes that will really make a difference before the zombie apocalypse hits.

Look on the bright side. If you get tired of chasing farmers you can now chase mordus blueprints or become a Prospect miner.

So now they are going to add band-aid after damage has been done to the mechanics and FW reputation*, which people who actually played FW warned years ago would turn FW into a laughable farming fest.

And now it even increases because you cannot no longer hunt stabbed people with cloaked ships, more NPC means tag farming and as if there already was not enough farming, they will add even more plexes!

Could you at least remove the "no cloaking within" idiocy because the spawning NPC's will handle the decloaking and that's what it's meant to do. Damage wise, NPC does not even matter. There would have to be half a dozen or more in a plex simultaneously for anyone to actually give twopences about it. (Or it's power would need to be along the lines of Clone Soldier rat)

*Farming cesspit where Dev's hand personal boons to their own/preferred side, like Luminaire titan event and ninja patch as most blatant examples.

cloaking within capture point solves nothing so now farmers will be sat just on the edge of capture point, something comes on short range the blast the prop for a second in one direction and cloak.... feking useless and now it takes hunting stabbed farmers out aswell.

way to break **** even more.

as ive said before i see no way in stopping cloakers if they stopped people from entering plex with a cloak fitted ingenious farmers would just carry a mobile depot and cloak in hold get in plex refit and scoop depot
