EVE General Discussion

I said i don't want to bother people with my everyday small shipments.

I understand the problem* here that BlockRunners might get too immune but look at the interceptors today.... Null is full of ceptors, i don't even think about locking em anymore.
I also understand that it is very happy moment when u catch a hauler and u find some juicy loot
but something should be done for people who want to move 5000+/- m3 of stuff on everyday basis. I would honestly try out some moon mining, belt mining, maybe even production but it needs lots of small transportation to be done and i would quickly bury that idea cuz i would simply loose more runners than i can earn back.

why do they need to be nullified when you can easily use a scout, afterall a scout in null is the most usefull thing you can own

You PvP. I don't. It's a free internet. Take me as seriously as I take you....not at all.
TYVM try not to choke on your digital foot.

If they decided to implement this they would also need to implement a counter. You can't really moon mine solo without a good Corp or alliance to back you up anyway, why would hauling moon goo require any less. Do what I do, scan down a high sec WH to move stuff back and forth. It works, just not everyday.

Repeat after me: "I will get a scout and train a jump freighter"

Il give up. 100% of u think it is a bad idea... Then I don't bother arguing here for too long
Seems like most of u have scout toons in back pocket or good friends who will run for ur courier contract asap. U will still see me flying around with Sabre getting those lonely blockade runners who tend to try but I don't do it myself till some miracle happens.

High five to all interceptor pilots!!

Thank u all for ur answers!

I have two scouts, a NPC corp JF pilot, and have literally never lost a freighter.

/shrug.

So you can do logistics (moving stuff not the ships) more easily is not a terribly good reason. Logistics is already pretty easy if you are smart about it what with JFs and the JB benefit that all industrials get. That right there lets you by-pass a number of gates and minimize the risk of gate camps.

By the way, not sure if this has been covered, wrong forum. Features and Ideas is more appropriate.

Oh and as for interceptors...I think CCP would like null to feel at least a little bit dangerous. And what with people anchoring a crap tone of bubbles on gates while doing PvE...nullifying interceptors got around that.

What kinda urks me is, why are all these fancy ship-specific abilities baked into the hulls? Abilities like interdiction nullification should be provided by fitting specific modules, while the hulls merely give bonuses to certain fitted modules.

Tech 3 sort of went down this route, but in true CCP fashion, rather than simplifying it by introducing modules and applying it across the board, they had to add an extra layer of convolution to the process by making them sub systems and limiting it to 4 specific hulls (and then leaving it at that).

I mean... Why can a ship like a force recon warp with a cov ops cloak yet other ships can't? If hulls come with baked-in interdiction nullification, then shouldn't a force recon come with a baked-in cov ops cloaking device? Yet the cov ops cloaking device is a module that you have to fit. So why not an interdiction nullifier module? Why does a transport get a baked-in fleet cargo bay yet a T1 hauler doesn't? Why not make fleet cargo bay a fitted module (ore hold, mineral hold, etc)? Why do capitals have baked-in jump drives? Why not make jump drives a fitted module? I think you get the picture (actually, half the people reading this won't, but I digress).

Oooh... Balance... Oooh, we'd end up with jump drive toting, interdiction nullified, cov ops cloaking Ravens all over the joint... Oooh it'd just be Terrible(tm).

Meh, whatever.

And there would be no specialisation, and everyone will be running wild.
