EVE General Discussion

To be clear, my source on my comment was this page, which has been gone over by our GM team since the release of Crimewatch 2.0, which was the last major rework of these mechanics. However, game mechanics do occasionally change, so I qualified it.

Hope that helps lend some perspective.

So....."lowsec" still working as advertised, eh? Okey dokey.

Sigh, it's disappointing that I can't agree that the official wiki can be quoted as a reliable source. Quite frankly I will look to the EveUni site before I go there. So IMO, it should not be used as a source until some major work is put into it. (I do realize the page your quoted is up to date, but the site as a whole is not.) But I digress...

My point is we all just post hearsay and conjecture about what we think is right, and occasionally purposefully misdirect.

You are a beacon of truth (relatively speaking) not only that, you have resources at your disposal that we do not. It seems to me if you felt that you needed to say "I believe", then you should have asked someone in the office that would know for sure before you posted at all, that way there is no question as to the validity of your post.

As I mentioned, I really appreciate your efforts, it's just I have to hold you to a higher standard as you are the beacon of truth with your blue tag.

Well for one thing "NPE" is a huge buzzword right now and it seems to me one of the lowest hanging fruits with a very large return would be to fix the damn wiki and keep it up to date.

Am currently in possession of 2,136 clone soldier bodies which can be activated by roughly 160 entities within my employ.

The bodies themselves are certainly my property, as are the 11 planetary districts which house them, though only my most cynical employees would likely claim I contractually own their consciousness as property.

If they don't do what I tell them, they just don't get paid is all.

Not every developer can have encyclopaedic knowledge of every aspect of the software they work on, especially if it's EVE, and starting a statement with "I believe" is perfectly reasonable if you're not completely sure. There should be nothing scandalous about this.

CCP Darwin, the only remaining ambiguity is if there is some sort of time limit. That is, if one player does a pile of damage, then leaves without the kill, does his damage score persist forever, or does it expire? If I come in and get the kill at a later time, but do less damage than the first player in doing so, will I get the wreck if sufficient time has passed? If so, how much time?

Also, it seems this is a poor mechanic. Someone who is not on-grid should not get ownership of the wreck. Maybe you could pass this issue to those who are feature developers?

I wouldn't be surprised if it works the same way as damage counting on killmails, or very similarly, probably best to test that assumption first.

EVE NEW PLAYER EXPERIENCE


Hey this confusing game mechanic has different answers from different people/sources.
Went to OFFICIAL EVE WIKI its outdated and incorrect about many things.
Dev answer "test it yourself. Some mechanics are secret"

Come on eve. Come on.

hum? you mean like modern games of the WoW era? With hand holding, limited interaction between players (even instancing) and constant rewards for special snowflakes to keep their attention span on sparkles and gumdrops rainbows.

But in more traditional openworld pvp mmo's like UO, Shadowbane, AO to name a few, core systems like this were no secret on how they operated. Stuff covering pvp, aggression, flagging, looting etc, always well written someplace and such questions answered. It's just base gameplay, man, and a core system that effects all of the game world. Things like quests? Sure, figure them out.
