Player Features and Ideas Discussion

The judges decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.

Which is to say, whether we like it or not the ships exist the way CCP ships them to us. We can argue all we like for whether it makes sense to have or remove the cargo scan immunity, but it's CCP's decision in the end. So you'll be "disappointed" if the cargo scanning immunity is removed, big deal. So you can bold the part where you claim there is no justification for keeping that feature: that's not an argument, it's only an opinion, and your opinion needs to be backed up by an argument.

For example: Baltec1 wants us to think that it's a suitable argument that suicide gankers won't know which ships to shoot. You are at least admitting that your main interest is gathering intel on which pilots are alts for which of your competitors and enemies.

What if CCP decides that trolling you with unscannable blockade runners is more interesting gameplay than giving you another means of gathering intel? They are blockade runners after all, and the biggest blockade in the game is the perpetual gate camp in Uedama.

On the other hand, it just doesn't make sense that the NPCs can scan the cargo of a ship when the players can't. Since the once-mentioned-and-never-repeated idea of letting players determine the consequences for smuggling contraband hasn't been repeated, one is led to assume that it's not actually going to happen. Perhaps NPCs will continue to have no idea of what is in the hold of those blockade runners.

From my perspective, the gameplay of player-applied consequences for smuggling is much more interesting than perfectly safe smuggling due to a special-case game mechanic.

Where's the fun in trying to smuggle goods to market if there's no risk of getting caught?

So why do you support it being impossible to detect what is inside a blockade runners cargo hold?

It does not increase risk for ganking, it turns it into purely pot luck that you will lose damn near every time. That is not good game design.

Are you aware that blockade runners can warp cloaked?
Seriously, are you even aware of this at all?

CCP please remove scan immunity from BR to reintroduce risk that was completely eliminated from players that choose to fly their blockade runners in inattentive and/or stupidly incompetent ways.

CCP please keep scan immunity for BRs so James and Baltec1 can continue crying their entitled gankbear tears!

Entitled?

We are asking for a slim chance to scan them. They are STILL able to be completely unlockable and thus, unscannable. The only entitlement here is people wanting to be unscannable even when flying the ship badly.

**** YEAH!

Well i didn't link anything,but anyone can go on zkillboard>class>blockade runner and see by himself ,there is no gambling in suicide ganking BR the fact that you need t2 cats to do it ,or that the cargo didn't drop as nothing to do with "unscannability".

The only reason you want the characteristic to be removed is only to scan juicy multibillion ones to brag to your friends .There is nothing related to game design or game balance in your propaganda.You just want the whole blanket for yourself

And to finish i didn't ask protection to CCP,they are the one who come first with this design .And until now you fail to give an argument who make sense to remove it ,except your greed for juicy trinket .

I have removed some rule breaking posts and those quoting them. As always I let some edge cases stay.
Please people, keep it on topic and above all civil!
