Its one of those changes that really add something to the game after all these years that could be a pretense for so much more.

IE: Increase lock and weapon ranges, and min warp distance along with adjustments in probing and exit warp accuracy could transform the battle field.

At least they need give overview a show only stuff with in XXXkm option. More over now it take ages to make off grid spots.

Yeah, almost passed out when I realized how many personal and corp bookmarks will have to be changed. Such is life in EveLol

Maybe now is a good time to discuss a future game mechanic that would allow players to drag a bookmark around the grid via the system map? yes... no...

Civil discourse is uniquely human. After all, when is the last time a pride of lions and a herd of water buffalo negotiated SOV over a watering hole? Never. Someone either gets their ass kicked or eaten. At the end of the day someone holds SOV.

nope.

But I would certainly like to be able to add Bookmarks to the Overview..... And maybe an easier way of sharing them between characters and accounts....

If bumping completely disappeared that would be awesome. This game should be about blasting stuff not avoiding game consequences by bumping **** all over EVE.

Yawn,  I'm right as usual. The predictability kinda gets boring really.

shhh ... bumping AFK freighters flown by NPC autopilot is the most Elite form of PVP known to mankind and brings much Epeen to those involved :D

I have to disagree.. I'm absolutely, positively sure CODE (and allies) poping stuff with no guns is the most elite of all pvp endeavors.

Whomever is making the last few years decisions on what changes are to be implemented in this game, must hate Eve with all their being.

Targets are safer now, because reaction time increases if hunters arrive 1-2s earlier on grid.

What happens with ghost sides as the counter starts when landing on grid uncloaked?

Easier to follow the direction of ships going to warp.

CCP needs to adapt warp acceleration and deceleration to get back to the old balance.

OP has a point.


No clue what it was, or where it was written down, but im sure hes got one.


Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

There is the calibration delay to consider, in case you know you will land in tackle range (e.g. combat probes). But I was referring more to solo hunting without cloak.

In three years in EVE I have never once been bumped. What are people doing that they set themselves up to be bumped?

I haul my own loot, I scout my own systems. do people just solo AFK haul so that they get bumped/ganked all the time?

My Jita undock had been 40,000+ km for years. One time since the update the grid stretched (I think due to others at their undocks) and all the crap around 4-4 was still on grid when I dropped warp. Not really a big deal IMHO.

Not that hard when you have a celestial to insta undock to.
