Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Thank you for the insight. Hopefully there is at least a common consensus on the gate+wh uncloak version. The idea I proposed is not a way to combat latency, but those who suffer from it will see a very nice improvement. I was just describing an additional benefit to the idea. Those people who have a problem with cloaks being overpowered and the second idea not being viable are more than welcome to post with specifics (not just "ohh I don't like it"). The second idea is NOT overheating while cloaked, it is preparing the module to cycle with the overheat bonus. Hardeners would still be off, but as soon as you uncloak you don't have to shift+click immediately.

I understand the distinction you made by combat boosters affecting the character stats while the overheat affects the ship stats, but EvE is not a game where character stats matter independent of your ship. You are in your ship for 99.99% of your game time (wether in a pod or not). So the difference between character vs ship difference is not as applicable because you never alternate between the two. There is not station combat or FPS aspect as of now in the computer version. Station trading and PI are two examples (there are probably more) where ship stats don't matter, but there aren't any drugs that directly affect the way either of those work. Drugs, while they do change character stats, are mean't to assist ships.

Again, thank you for your input because it helps foster a conversation.
