EVE General Discussion

You just ruled out most of this forum. And as I pointed out earlier, it's possible to make it a literal truth without delivering on the substance of such a thing. In all honesty the simplest way would be to leave their HP untouched. A station has something like 350m HP in shields. Someone ran the numbers, and it would require 32,000 typhoons to kill it.



This I can''t agree with. The basic drive is that Industry should also fuel conflict, and thus, PvP. Currently, putting up a large POS in high sec is a non-risk unless you, say, **** off Goonswarm to the degree they get serious about killing you, and then evemail them where your POS is. Basically PvP involving POS in high sec is where PvP involving POS was eve wide before the introduction of dreadnoughts. You CAN kill them, but only if the people who set them up are mentally deficient enough to not put a tank or guns on them.

While there were (in theory) only a small number of high sec POS due to the strict requirements, this was a non issue. However, they're throwing all those requirements out the window. I don;t see them leaving this area of potential conflict alone(after all, they've made it clear that while Industry is getting buffed, they still bend a knee to PvP) however, the only real solution to deal with death stars is to bring dreadnoughts.



The issue here is that the repercussions of that poor handling are going to bite CCP, and thus eve, in the ass in the long run, and risking making Legion a toxic property that's DOA. That sort of hit (again) would likely cripple CCP, and, by extension, further development of EvE.

I am Newbee, and really like the drones, so I studied hard, using my days to advance the skills.

But now I know how others felt when they changed the rules, one keynote and I have no idea what the new drones will be like, and if I get anything back for it.

1-) No, only what players build can be destroyed.
2-) No. No caps on highsec.
3-) It's a good thing, the more iterations the better.
4-) Dust shouldn't be a stupid console game. CCP is doing the right thing this time around.

It's been said in at least one interview that that level of destruction is possible, from a programming perspective; it's just a matter of finding the time to do the work. That said, it probably won't happen anytime soon, specifically because it's such a game-changer (pun intended).



I wouldn't think cap ships would be allowed unfettered access to high-sec space; there's just too much potential for abuse. I'd agree that there will probably be a rule change, but I'd hesitate to speculate on it at the moment.



Speaking as a programmer, smaller, more frequent patches will streamline the QA process a bit; CCP will be able to roll out fixes and react to bugs on a much shorter timescale. Think of it as a kind of 'time dilation' for the QA department :).




Now, this I agree with; CCP has to take the next step very carefully.

On the other hand, I'll also speak frankly: DUST is not a 'bad game', by any means. In some ways, it's not that different from the other FPSs on the market, but let's face it, there are only so many ways you can reinvent capture the flag and king of the hill, and DUST managed to do it in a fairly creative way without being too derivative of what's gone before.

As a...really bad Eve Online player...nope, I will not provide proof

I dunno, IZ set a new standard by posting pic of certificate of qualification plus pics of his dog and motorbike to back up his statements. Everyone was suitably impressed.

haha, I read that as "dong".

I hope the Dust community backlash doesnt endanger the Legion project.

Know this CCP: EVE: Legion is a very good idea, what went wrong is the way you anounced it. [how did you even think that would end?]

That's dumb. You should be able to move caps around in a freighter. All CCP would have to do is make a rule for highsec stations that says "Caps cannot undock" and then a rule for all sec stations that says "supercaps cannot undock".

Lame nerf.

Yeah, as I said, F&I forum came up with about a dozen ways to do it better.

I think the real deal was they wanted to nerf freighters hard, but wanted a way to do it that wouldn't cause massive backlash.
