Well said zues

Too many times in the past have I not been able to get the fights because the enemy fleet new my numbers.


For the case of fleet fights and against other mercs, I would agree.

But from a business perspective CCP just took away my livelyhood.
As a small(ish) highsec merc group that has specialized in hunting their contract target.
Some of you will say "Good riddance" but do you really want yet another group in highsec blanket deccing everyone, just to be able to sit on gates and hubs and pick off people who does'nt know better then to stay away from hotspots?
Thats the reality of it, we will adapt, dec more and become something we have worked very hard not to become.
If we get another reasonable way to differentiate between logged off and online players we might be able to salvage the art of hunting the targets we are paid to kill.

Most of Devils employers are/was looking for someone who would actually move out of the hotspots and kill them where they hide.
We will still try our best to still be able to hunt our contract targets, but I fear this will burn out my guys rather fast. Empire is kinda big you now..

Oh.. and zues.. finding a Public-enemy pilot in the pipe is not hard P

Guys, when you consider the fact that your little corporations and wars don't sink nearly as much into this game as super owners and their ilk, are you really that surprised that this was implemented?

You don't have anyone's ear and the vast majority of you are practically peasants compared to most super owners. None of you are ambassadors for the game. You have no CSM representatives.




The newbro with zero kills anywhere in PL's canon fodder alliance has spoken.....

Personally I don't mind the changes.

P.S By the way plook if you think none of us own caps or even supers then your are mistaken.

Vastly mistaken.

It would have been at least a mild improvement to be able to watch a target you had killrights on. And transferable KR make that notion even more viable.
(and just imagine the "Killright Fu" and the cost involved if everybody who had killrights on a player could watch them)
