Ok the only thing id honestly want to see is a change in the npc rats....belt / ded / plex doesent matter . The change should consist in adding t2 bs rats for example lets take guristas ..the 1.8 m rat the usurper ..u simply make it "dire guristas usurper" aka t2 ship with higher resists and bigger bounty ..say 2.5-3.0 mil and that can be done with all the bs's not only with this one . Further more the t2 versions should be in a old "tier 3 bs hull" ..on guristas the rokh ..on serpentis the hyperion and so on ...then ..by adding this ..consider changing the spawns ..so for instance in a -0.7 > -1.0 true sec system u dont get stupid spawns ..like frigates or destroyers ..u either get t2 variants or just normal spawns from cruiser above ...this ships can be added to plex/dead also ..by doing this u bring a good change to the game ..u make it more exciting ..cerbearing wise also modify a lil bit the "risk/reward" ratio..because not only they would have stronger tank they would have stronger dmg as well ..not by a whole lot ..but still ...further more this t2 battleships can have the EW effects of the t1 variant ..ex: guristas exterminator has lets say 15% chance to jam ..u give the dire guristas exterminator 25% chance to jam .. Also i know this might sound stupid but ..officers should get a higher chance of spawning keep the same stats ..but have a omni doomsday on them that will only activate on capitals or better yet give them an ai mind like the sleepers ,u warp carrier or mothership on them the ai triggers ..they spawn more bs's , not only this would be fun but ..the risk/reward ratio would be perfect Any noob with lvl 2 carrier and 7 geckos can kill an officer and i think that is unfair. U wanna score big then bring something shinny and on the same "level" otherwise go home. And as i said ..this trigger should happen only against capitals ..if you bring a subcapital ..no matter the numbers ..it should just stay the normal spawn Twisted

Good idea.

Let's give them 30 billion bounty and make them a little stronger than usual, maybe jove-pirate drifter - meta 858388475823 level.

But here's a catch, to make them not too easy they will instapop capital ships, supercapital ships, tech 3 and tech 2 ships and drones on entering grid.

Drifter bs's are pointless atm ..isk / reward ratio isnt worth it ..doesent drop loot ..no bounty ..pointless

Profitable or not i would love to see some changes in this boring ratting system thats stuck like this since 2007 srsly ..id love to warp to a belt see a t2 bs and rek it ..also id love to see this rats in 10/10 plex'es and make it even harder..because that will slow the suply down ..pith x-type items for instance got a joke price ..and not only that ..the rest of the items got joke prices as well ..including the faction battleships

I'm all for adding T2 rats but don't make the bounty any higher just make it a small bit harder to kill the rats around it to get their bounties P

No, silly.

The point was that DED complexes would become a group activity again - thou shall not rat in a capital boat..

normaly a t2 rat gets 3x the bounty size compared to basic t1 rat if we compare the frigates + cruisers ..so that would mean that a bs should get from 1.8 to 5.4 m ...the 2.5-3 m bounty i sugested i find it to be fair

not really ..any 10/10 atm in game can be solo'ed in a marauder ..u mjd out ..enter bastion kill station ..exit bastion do 1 more mjd ..bookmark container with loot ..warp out ..plex despawns warp back in ..get goodies...so t2 bs rats in plex wont affect the structure of it to much unless ccp changes the mechanics and makes u kill all rats

english --> English
isnt -> isn't / is not
language so -> language, so (when you take a breath reading aloud)
m8 -> mate
u -> you

I think it is mostly lazy typing and not a language barrier. If you want to make a good presentation, show some effort and people will take the time to at least read what you have to say.

As to NPCs, I would like to see more that require squads and teams, especially in Low and Null Sec to make them more liveable and players more coordinated for fighting.

No, any change you do will get boring in enough time and you will want more.
there has been many changes since 2007.
Theres already enough ew, the only race ive killed in a half way decent time in a non-marauder has been angels/minmatar because all of the other either jam/damp/ or kill your tracking, and the amount of ew was increased.
and its even worse when you cant use drones because the second you deploy drones (for me most of the time) all frigates drop lock and pop them before they even do anything, ive even have battleships and cruisers drop lock to go after a light.

I miss the days I could take a bunch of newbies into a site with all agro on me and tell them to have fun.
