I assume he means the 1.5 accounts per player and is very bad at algebra since that renders more alts than mains a mathematical impossibility.

30,000 Accounts = 1.5Accounts/1Players -> Players= 30,000 Accounts/1.5 Accounts = 20,000 Players
Players-Total Accounts = Alt Accounts -> 30,000 Accounts - 20,000 Mains = 10,000 Alts

So about 1/3 or 33.3% of the characters online are probably alts.

Except your post is an educated guess (based on a figure released by CCP?), which is perfectly reasonable. He's stating a "fact" that probably isn't a fact at all because grrrr, ebil piwates.

Regarding FacPo & CONCORD:

I'd be okay with eliminating FacPo response to simply undocking in hisec with low sec status. Strictly speaking, it doesn't serve to protect anyone it only serves to limit the behavior of folks who's security status is too low. Some people may complain about taking away a punishment for low security status, but FacPo is generally more of a nuisance than a punishment once you learn how to deal with them so I don't think this should be a huge concern. The benefit here is driving player content as opposed to NPC content. With FacPo weakened or eliminated, criminals would be more likely to fly bigger ships in hisec, thus making it potentially easier for White Knights to track them down and engage them before CONCORD arrives.

I'm going to admit my own ignorance here for a moment and ask a question: if someone engages a -10 player in hisec, thus earning both players a limited engagement, can the -10 player retaliate without provoking CONCORD? If this is the case, then removing FacPo could open up a whole new world to folks who want to cruise around looking for fights: simply undock in hisec as a -10 and wait for folks to attack you. Talk about content! If this is not the case...why the heck isn't it?

As for CONCORD, I think it should be left as it is (i.e. untankable, unescapable NPCs, or UUNs) for now. One of the core dynamics of hisec is that if you criminally aggress someone, CONCORD relieves you of your vessel in very short order. This would be an awfully huge change to make (or, strictly speaking, un-make) and I'd like to consider other issues first, but I'm open to ideas. I think mechanics that allow players to more easily assist CONCORD would be fabulous though.


At the very least I think the -5.0 penalty of permanent suspect status should kick in before the -2.0 to -5.0 penalty of faction police harrassment.

That would seriously encourage a player response, not an NPC response, to unlawful highsec aggeression. Quite a buff to white knighting as a career.

Lately I've been of the opinion that they don't actually want to be buffed, they want to remain ineffectual so they can use that as a platform for more whining that we still exist.

Yes, hence the "bad at algebra," bit. No doubt he lost his ability to count in that fit of rage.

You are very smart.

I may have misread the dev's reddit comment as 1.5 alts per player or whatever the number he gave. I would have to find it again and r/Eve is currently infected with rage posts on other matters.

That's still a ton of alts. And really my point was that for CODE/goons to claim that highsec bears would outnumber them by tens of thousands when there are only 20-30k players on at a time in the entire game is disingenuous at best.

It would just save suspect baiters the trouble of having to acquire a flag every 15 minutes. Most people in highsec have learned to leave the yellow flashies alone lest they be relieved of their ship when the suspect swaps into a Vindicator, undocks his logi alts, or solos them in an Ishkur because they don't understand combat mechanics.

I agree with a lot and disagree with a lot also.

I get the feeling you are coming from a pvp background.

Like it or not PVE is a large part of the game and if I couldn't do level 4 missions in hi sec there would be no reason to play I couldn't generate ISk t

It is not possible to run missions in a hostile system without support.

I still like the idea suggested a while back of having npc corp only open for a period of say x amount of months after that the player is auto ejected into NO CORP. and in no corp you would be freely attacakble with out concord police intervention thus forcing you to form a corp or join one.

Something does need doing about npc rookie corp immunity (also let me block them)

Back those ideas and I'll support you to hell and back

Oh look, it's a forum troll and noob. The best undock camper this game has ever seen....far past elite. Number 1 of all time kills in amarr. Check zkillboard today and be jelly.

It'd do so much more than that. It would make it not futile to undock in things that aren't cheap glass cannons.

Thanks for your vote, but I do way more than Thunderdome. Pirate

Check out my corp's killboard sometime. We're small, so it's not all that impressive, but it's a good mix of hisec and losec activity.

I've run L4s in a busy system where anyone could shoot me at any time (cheap killright available).

You most certainly CAN run level 4 missions around dangerous other players without capacity to escalate.
