Consider these recent changes that go against past notions and comments that CCP liked 'alternative gameplay'

1. Scanning nerf no1 - after they had made it accesable and usable by all, they nerfed it again so it took much longer to complete a scan
2. 'attempted' Orca nerf - breaking a macro so that you cant change ships in space while aggressed, but curiosly for hisec orcas only
3. Scanning nerf no2 - you now need anything scanned to 25% to see what class of ship it is

My initial suspicion is some CCP alt got ganked by some mission invading ninja and decided to make the game all warm and fuzzy again

Hisec is supposed to be safe rite? then i guess its best that you do all you can to protect the innocent carebearing community that dutifully pays their monthly subs that means you can continue living the life in $1,000 jeans.

Another thing, prior warning of changes that you are making i hope isnt classed as a breach of NDA, because it would be great to know in advance when and where you plan to break the game

The ship maintenance bay nerf should have been placed on all ships with bays and everywhere in space.

I propose a question to you. Why do self titled "tear collectors" themselves generate a lot of tears?

to answer a question with a question;

is it wrong to comment on CCP actively nerfing and placing hurdles in front of those who would be innovative and creative with the game in the name of protecting hisec carebears who initiate PVP and then die because of it?

whats next?

removal of hisec aggro mechanics?

The Incarna nerf was the worst.

If you don't like the nerfs then maybe you should find a game that's more your style?
Or maybe change with the changes and find a way to keep doing what you're doing?
Aren't you innovative enough to think of ways to keep going?
Someone makes what you like doing a little bit harder and suddenly you can't cope?

Grow some balls man!

It just means you'll get really good at scanning.
Maybe you could start scanning down wormholes and start looking for treats there, instead of silly mission runners who don't understand that they shouldn't shoot at you?

While using the system scanner scan results with less than 25% strength using three or more probes will now display the appropriate generic bracket for ships, structures, and anomalies.
this is not a nerf...its a bug fix... you were supposed to see the ship class but until today it didnt work correctly. Today's patch is supposed to fix it

I guess you don't like my aggressive humour?
I'm sorry that this is something you can do without.

It depresses the hell out of me that I still don't know wtf I'm doing when I try to scan something even though they've apparently nerfed the whole scanning thing and dumbed it down a bunch of times. Damn I'm dumb :(

Not so bad as that I still have no idea how to make a proper BM for a JF or the like at a gate or station. Real fun seeing them bumb off or land way too far to dock or jump instantly. What?What?

At least CCP care enough about your little corner of New Eden to acknowledge it exists by working on it. Some people don't even have negative things to say because CCP appears to have forgotten entire game mechanics even exist.

Orca's were removing all highsec aggro mechanics. In a second, you could store your ship, jet your pod out and be completely safe. 100% consequence free.

CCP fixed what you are worried about happening. Cry less buddy, crisis averted.

also, im not sure i ever ship swapped with an Orca to AVOID combat, it was usually into a ship to kill the bully of a mission runner who picked on my little frigate with his battleship
