Wormholes

I think this is an obvious byproduct of 2 things. One is the mass/range change which went a long way to convincing smaller corps to leave wh space for incursion isk. The second is the small group of big wh corps that routinely field large fleets.

I haven't looked at skyfighters numbers, but I'll be honest w/ you - when I see one of your guys I think blob and either close a connection to be done w/ you or go out to the kitchen and make a pot of soup (substitute mow the lawn in appropriate months). I come back in a few hours and re-evaluate and go from there.

Here's where I'm coming from on this. I don't like the 30 man prot/guardian/jamgu/loki fleet. I don't like to be in it. I don't like to fight it. That's for a couple of reasons. It's boring to me. I don't like the day to day burden of dealing with that large a number of guys. It makes for more work (keeping everyone entertained), more drama, and any time you get more then 50 guys together one of them feels a need to espouse (my opinion here) liberal propoganda crap. I don't log into eve to deal w/ any of that. (NOTE: your average liberal guy doesn't want to hear me talk about the second amendment in the US or my views on taxes and other stuff - there are 2 sides to the coin - I get it - I just don't want to deal w/ the other side of the coin when I play a game to relax)

I'm not saying any of the above stuff is outright wrong, it's just stuff I choose to not be apart of. If you like that sort of stuff - go for it. So, I'm in a small group of good guys that I really like to play eve with. No drama, no pressure to entertain, no views I don't want to listen to. It's all good for me (thanks guys). So that leaves me with an inability to compete/pvp w/ larger folks. I choose to just ignore them. I think arranged fights where folks agree to this and that is kind of wierd, so I don't go for that either.

I just choose to bypass dealing with larger wh corps to the extent I can. I'm happy to do that. Sure I miss out on some fights. Sure I get possed up by superior numbers from time to time. These things I am glad to trade away to hang w/ a small group of guys that I get along with, a laid back corp structure and play style, no drama and no 'going to work' feel when I log in.

My point?? I don't fear you, I just choose to not deal w/ the big you that may or may not be 2 wh out. We don't sit on comms complaining that some big bad wh bro is blocking us from enjoying eve. We do other things until you pass. We accept what we are and where we are and are happy for it.

You've chosen to be in one of the larger corps. You need to accept that folks aren't going to fight you because of that choice. I don't think there is a cure. It's human nature. Some guys like to mob around in big fleets and do that stuff. Some guys don't. Accept it and keep scanning or change what's making the game unfun for you.

TL/DR Bane Nucleus and skyfighters are evil.... I hate them!

I don't fear you, I just choose to play the game in a manner that prevents me from taking you head on. That being said I wouldn't normally take the time and expend the effort to see if you have something I can deal with. I just play the odds and don't.

You see fear, I see an opportunity to make some Ham and Bean soup (yeah, I put hand made rivvels in it, so it's the good kind). I'm not saying you're wrong in all cases. I'm sure there are plenty of guys out there that do fear you.

I'm saying that's the price you pay for being in a corp that has a 133 in the players attribute on a show info. I just took the time to check you KB and you have much more reasonable numbers than I would have guessed. So you're more right and I'm more wrong, but that doesn't change your corps rep. You guys are known and notable, and that has a price.

In the rare times we meet, in the future we'll probably have a go at you. We're pretty lazy and I think only one of us (not me) is any good at all about checking current KB in real time as we meet folks.

I'd say overall it's name recognition. You guys went big on rep a while back. Good or bad, it's a rep you earned - now you have to carry it. Want some fun? Create a new corp w/ all the same guys in it. Call it something bearish and womp up on guys like me that don't take the time to research stuff.

No, I am not going to rename my corp. I can't imagine what a headache of pos anchoring and unanchoring that would be. Then there a are the old friends I have not seen in ages, but that I enjoy greatly when they drift back for a month or two. I value those relationships. Perhaps a simpler answer would be to move the pilot of a ship and owning corp from public info to info which must be found with a ship scanner or at least allow us to opt out of broadcasting such information to the overviews of neutral and hostile ships. More actual encounters between ships would make for a much better game than the current metagame research projects which we have now instead. Somehow, someway we need ti have more opportunities to fly our ships than we currently have. The ratio of hours spent looking for fights to seconds in actual fights is all wrong. Things like this are what makes a night in Eve good or bad much more so than any ship rebalance or pos feature or any of a thousand other things which we much more often post about. Ships meeting in space is what we need. Please tell CCP that one way or another we need it even at the expense of sacred cows to the slaughter.

Some things for CCP to be reminded of:
#1: mission structure needs revamp badly and for a long time - all mission content is fully mapped, and as such offers little to no risk, NPC standings should influence wich missions are available from given agent, and not just binary available/unavailable status, and some of missions need to be moved to a diffrenet level completely (I'm looking at you Material for War, what are you even doing outside lv2s?)
#2: at least some of the releases each year should be devoted to finishing/polishing content that has been added incomplete - I'm mostly thinking Epic arcs, COSMOS chains, storyline agents and their rewards; and those are only the ones off the top of my head, I'm sure there's more.
#3: overwiev revamp: both expanding on funcionality and visual aspect; a few releases back, before introduction of ISIS art team offered a glimpse of class-specific overview icons - implementing those would be good start; display filters would be another good one.

Would be nice if my scanned signatures still scanned once I go out and re-enter the system.

looks like the other thread is no longer watched/updated? So I repost my little **** in here.

Dscan Window:
Since we have this filter selection for dscan, I always wanted to have a second one.
So instead of the checkbox to turn the filter on/off there should be a switch to select between 2 filter selections.

Scan Probes:
If they identify the signature but not pointed it down(shown as a circle or sphere) I'd like to see those colored yellow instead of red.

Gas/Grav Sites:
Sleepers should spawn immediately. Too many ninja miners around.


ah yeah .. 5-10 k162 per day is too much for my taste, but others seem to like?

And put them on the Gas clouds, not on the beacon!

The gas sleeper hounds should be guard gods instead of idleing the beacon half an hour too late.

Dear Corebexxx,
the reason the Prospect is not very popular is that the tech2 gas miners do not get the cycle time reduction of the ship bonus.

Both the tech1 and tech1 gas harvesters mine the same amount of gas at the same time, so why on Earth would you buy a 25 million isk boat when you can make 20000 bazillion of 200k isk boats that have a scram bonus on them to do the same thing for 1/10th the price?

(Ventures are awesome!)

Most ore anomalies don't have Mercoxite to mine

Please add some ore to the other nullsec relic and data sites (currently only the Monument sites contain ore).

Fix some of the combat anomalies that 'go away' as soon as you leave them in the last wave to get ammo or let your cap regenerate for a fex moments.

summit is over now but i'll ask about it once i'm home

If CCP could separate POS access from global corp roles, that would make things so much simpler. Or if they could allow for a way to assign a particular moon as a base location, then a CEO or director could assign that location as a base to an individual player. Then potentially that player could be given full rights to do whatever at just that moon.

Actually, I think that might be feasible depending on how POSes are stored and referenced in the database. I know that in the SDE all celestials all have a reference to the item which they orbit, called an orbitID. If POSes also have this orbitID, then could not something point to it via that reference? In this case, the orbitID for the POS would be the moon's itemID.

As stated above, running reactions at a POS requires that universal roles be given to a player because of the need to online/offline the silos before adding or removing materials. For that matter, so does adding or removing materials. Honestly, the entire reaction system needs to be redesigned from the ground up, especially the terribad UI. If I could get one small wish, it would be to let us rearrange the items in the production flow tab rather than having them in fixed locations. The new locations should be remembered.

Strat Cruiser rebalance needs to happen before any others.

Sentry Drones and their role in pvp need to be re-examined. They are a bit OP no matter what you do with them.

A potential balance lever for all drones is bandwidth. Its a shame this lever has never been used. It could allow for a much wider variety of drone usage cases for subcaps, as well as a balancing lever for capitals.
