Player Features and Ideas Discussion

The issue here is that the risk is too damn great for people to operate, contrary to peoples perception of me as being full of fear etc., I was actually belt ratting to have fun while grinding giving people a merry chase and trying to pick them off if they made mistakes in my period in Stain, I did the PvE with ships fitted for PvP, see my article on EN24. I got a few but most were wise to me, removing local would make it just a question of having three accounts minimum and lots of screens just to operate in 0.0. Or I have to sit around waiting for my assistance in corp to come in which means I twiddle me thumbs...

At that point ISK making in 0.0 as a small corp or solo person is not valid, so I would decide as I did recently after the D-scan nerf to just do level 4's in hisec and come into 0.0 for fun and games only. What will happen then:

Massive whining by gankbears asking for hisec rewards to be nerfed and rewards in 0.0 to be increased, but CCP cannot nerf level 4's because at this point there are a lot of people in hisec who do that and many would just go, nah not going to null.

If you want an empty wastelands with pockets of large groups together in -1.00 systems and a few groups ninja operating then yeah remove local, it would be amusing to watch from hisec!

That being said I hope the new Jovian space has no local if that is what is happening of course, then we can test your ideas, but it also requires no intel about activities that enable hunters to easily zoom in on people.

So stating a fact that a game mechanic WH which has limited mass as compared to a cyno that does not has zero merit, methinks you try too hard...

Methinks you lie too much.

Nobody is dumping entire Strat Op fleets on a ratter.

An AFK flag is sufficient and in itself has no impact on any privacy laws whatsoever, I am getting worried about you, webcams...

And in any case you can gather that intel over time anyway, checking corp changes is one way...

Not sure if lying or lying...but this thing happens on a daily basis. Everyone and their dog wants in on a killmail. Just yesterday I saw a 20 man carrier fleet hotdropping a Stratios, and that was from a small alliance unlike the goons you run with.



In Alts Online? Legit reply is legit.

He can not see it as he is a full of resources Goon, its beneath him, so up on his high tower he dispenses his words of wisdom based on his own sandbox, hell I saw -A- drop a carrier on a rifter in Stain, and what you describe is the reality in most of Eve.

For many that would be a start level fleet, for a Goon that is a gang, methinks its because he is out of touch with the reality of all but the big blocks...



Yeah its linking the accounts which is fun, often they do have linked kills, but sometimes you have to sacrifice something...

You don't need to seed anything to gank a ratting op. Surprise by a roaming fleet is all it takes. In that example I linked the gank was a bunch of bombers that came through... a frigate-only hole. Yet wh corps keep playing. Even very small ones, with just several active members.
That simply invalidates your claim about some "area denial". The only "area denied" players are those that would like to rip null profits but are otherwise so risk averse as to rage-quit over some ship disappearing from dscan.



That just prove you didn't even care to read this thread before posting. Otherwise you would see for example this:

And these T3s would end up the source of another hundred pages whine.



Because you have absolutely no idea what you write about.



I gave you specific hint in my previous post but you couldn't see it. I would warp away my fleet the moment I scan bombers coming to my grid. An entire profession and a whole class of ships now gets removed from the game because you want "all-blue-all-safe sov" button. Do you know what "stealth" means in "stealth bombers"?



Guess what. An idea that gets proposed and rejected year after year probably isn't seen as sound by devs. Being "vocal" about it may bring you frustration, at best.

Answer this then, is your friends WH subject to the same neighbours every day? No!

And a Cyno has no limits in terms of mass unlike WH's

Stop it, its foolish, its not the same!

Quite funny as a one liner which you are good at however you ar contradicting an earlier one liner, nonetheless remoteness, surrounded by highly protected borders that cannot be traversed easily with the jump changes, so no caps in effect and most of the attacks being small gangs raiding from the NPC areas or coming in via WH's. A massive local superiority in available forces that means no escalation by your attackers is possible unless they are using fully insured dreads to take down a Titan.

This is the strategic picture of your alliances position, as people have pointed out so often Tau Ceti really did set you up well...

This is not however the same as a WH, I would think in the example given is a C3 with a small corp in it, no way jose...

EDIT :

And his reply smacks of his own vested interests, my proposition was for an AFK flag applied to anyone who had not been active in game for an hour by triggers that are created by CCP, at this point they are flagged as AFK in local. Once they use D-scan, warp or use any modules the flag is removed and a Notifiaction Feed is sent to all in local.

For him a Goon sitting in fortress Deklin this is of no benefit at all, but the sub-alliances operating on the borders would find this useful, he as a Goon is likely running around other peoples space with his AFK cloaky campers which the Goons do a lot by the way as they soften up an enemy and this would make it less effective. Of course he would not like it because it makes his alliances play harder and less effective.

And that is why you see him saying its not a good idea and trying to divert attention away from it, simple really!
