I find this totally unnecessary. All a proper capsuleer needs to have a good time in space is 9m3 of Spirits, three Exotic Dancers (male), and one can of long-limb roes.

The silly expensive skills have no bearing on the legality of boosters, so why would they change?

"Frustration" isn't the word, and the damn filter won't let me say the right word !! Big smile,

Thank you guys so much for doing away with that bit of madness, I had a carrier in a station once and couldn't contract that sucker to my alt.because it contained ONE improved exile booster. Rage qutting for the night ensued (rather than flying 25 jumps lol).

Just to be clear, does this include the contract system? ie, will we be able to contract boosters and/or ships that have boosters in them?

It'd also be FANTASTIC if, while you're in there tweaking, you could adjust boosters so they show up as charges -- similar to Nanite Repair Paste -- so I don't have to go clean out all my ships every time I want to carrier them somewhere. ;)

Should have announced this on 420... Missed opportunity there methinks.

It starts with synth blue pills and all of a sudden young capsuleers everywhere is smoking strong x-instinct. Legalizing boosters is wrong and capsuleers should reach for the stars, not for boosters.

Maybe they should take all that loose funding and start hunting hose dirty 'jectors you see causing mass mayhem.

I mean come on! A young promising capsuleer just gets his piloting license, and not a day later, some shady guy gets him hooked on injectors. Last I heard he was out and about in low/null murdering by the thousands! He had his whole life ahead of him!

CONCORD needs to take a stand against this madness!

Although I quite like that I can now transport drugs through high sec more easily to use for PvP, I did actually find the smuggling aspect of it quite cool in terms of the universe. I remember doing the missions were you visited the pirate faction drug labs and that whole aspect of the game was really cool and enhanced the universe, particularly for a newer player.

So basically I'm glad your looking at improving this aspect of the game, but hopefully you will look at something interesting for the future in terms of drugs being different to regular commodities.

Also wasn't the whole point of those new sleeper drugs going to be that you can use them in high sec? Making all drugs legal will certainly diminish their desirability now particularly considering the effort it takes to get the components for them.

Oh great. This means children will be able to just walk into any store and buy all of the boosters they want. MY GOD THINK ABOUT THE CHEEEEEEEEEEEEELDRENNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!eleven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(sorry, couldn't help it)


In all seriousness though, smuggling is game content that is sorely neglected and could use some love.

Will we be able to put ships with boosters in their cargo in a carrier SMA now as well?

Will this include fixes to the booster side effects/booster skills so that they actually work properly and provide meaningful gameplay?

What happened to changing the system to where players police the smugglers?

NPC's should ignore boosters but if you find someone with boosters in their cargo (found by cargo scan) in high sec, it would be cool if that made them a legal target in high sec.

The wishlist is pretty much complete...

Can somebody please give me a short summary what the new rules then are? Not sure I understood everything CCP Fozzie said.
