EVE Information Portal

the info thats came out so far about the rorqual and orca has already impacted current sales of orca and rorquals..they already broke the game..its only going to get worse and once everyone see's how the market will react you will be trying to come up with something else to protect these awful changes..

so with that said... declare war on the market and wreck the market till the only thing they have left is boosting in freaking rookie ships!..

Woow that are some changes.

First, thanks for listening and not really listening. My idea was to have your links / boosts on grid as a hictor-bubble, not a sabre bubble.

For command ships to really, really (not) shine, how about increasing the signature radius of command ship to 30.000km so that dreads can hit them better.
Than increase the mass of commandships to 1 trillion mass, so they aren't so damn sooper slippery anymore and since they are goodererer now, I propose to increase the required moon materials by 7000% to make more Fereng- errm profit.

My Damnation was way too agile anyway.

Increasing the price to 60 billion won't make much of a difference anyways, since we are all skilled and stuff.

We are all doing incursions all day long, even the one character accounts that aren't logged on all day long.


One minute of sabre bubbles are a joke - an even bigger one since we still don't have Caldari, Gallente or Amarr interdiction destroyers.

The command destroyer pilots will rejoice since they will be renamed to "ever higher priority primary ships" that have a one time, one use with much, much, much ammo and stuff and 5y8m23d17h54m reload and go poof the can even think about "firing" a new boost-bubble.

On a 20km square-grid this almost makes sense.

And why wouldn't you want to fly an 8000km signature Vulture that wanted to be there too?

did you actually read the post? changing systems will remove the buff.

Just had a thought that will most likely be ignored:

Command ships (and only command ships, including industrial command) get a button like T3D's to shift functions. One is for full on grid boosts like the current proposals; the other allows 50% boosts to fleet members in the system at a fuel consumption rate that will burn through a cargo hold in a couple hours. If you want to off-grid it's going to cost you and it's not going to be running all day AFK.

Again, why can't this code be used for cloaking?

A booster isn't "relaxing" while playing. He quite literally is sitting in a POS doing nothing but providing a stats boost to players.



First, nothing changes here. You can mine rocks and chat, you just will be doing it without boosts unless you also choose to bring a boosting ship along. Remember, you are getting a brand new ship for this role. If not, you will still mine, just less efficiently. Does that fundamentally change your gameplay? No. It reduces your yield (and the yield of everyone else in the game that also chooses to not use boosts).

Don't make this about changing your gameplay or lifestyle or whatever else. It is nerfing yield for those that choose to continue to prefer risk free behavior and that is what you are upset about.

Sorry, man. I've had a rough week. I'm sure my ganker comment was well-warranted, but poorly aimed. My apologies.

I had thought of a 'station-esque' as a workaround, like the 'rorq tower' you mentioned. Such would not be needed if the rang eon boosters were adequate. The very first thought when i heard about all of this was to have a 2AU(total shot in the dark) range on boosters, so they would have to be near, but not 'on-grid'.

I also have been looking into command/logi paths.

To that other comment about asteroids...I've played other aspects of the game, PvP, FW, PvE, WHs, etc.. but mining asteroids is the single most enjoyable thing...to me. How truly blessed am I?

I like you. Some people might have chosen to make this post a simple inquiry, but you decided to go full bore with the criticism and condescension.

If only you had read the blog, you wouldn't look like a complete fool right now, because you would have seen the bit where session changes remove the boost, and refrained from making your completely incorrect post in such an obnoxious tone.

JUst when you thought CCP was doing something cool ,you find out they just reinvented the way of reaching all the way around their backside just to scratch their elbow. Seriously,what were you trying to fix...fleet boosts ?cause people hate trying to figure out where they fit in inside the fleet? this is something you learn as you play and play with others,perhaps 'Explain' things a bit better for us undereducated folks,either way just another tickmark on the CCP Ship, THese burst modules will proably do good out in Null sec, but anywhere else i just dont see them being that helpful .Using them in High sec just means You became the primary,just seconds before the rest of your fleet get rolled over the belts ,this would be anywhere maybe out in null fleets will last longer ok their hitting the booster warp out (cause there is a counter for that right?)((or how about that fleet accouncement thingie collecting dust,like DUST)) . besides this is stuff a new character wouldnt even be bothered with unless it was an alt . For our alts that wasted all that time just to get a booster to help them,you gave us what...oh yeah extractors and injectors and auruim (sp?) Oh my,CCP was clever with this one,you shoot up this tengu,loki or just about any high end ship and you got character days old inside something "beyond his years" , skill points do not make up for experience,maybe stablize your ship more ,yay people wasted money to sit inside something they could have used another ship for ,this hasnt changed at all CCP once again you definitely all about that buck...hey spread the wealth a bit,fix our combat logs to show NPC kills differently ,its kinda bland Ship Kills->Losses. Umm how about take the middleppl out of this do up a table like the way any spread sheet that updates like with any api,perhaps , oh yeah there is probly a reason you havent done this...stop sipping on your lattes',ok back to these updates.the 'Fleet boosting should allow counterplay by enemies' section is not reveling enough,we can assume a sizeable number of CCP devs dont play like the rest of us,ship pops boosts are down ( even with the boosting duration,),why are we adding to this again?your going to take someone off grid but allow the boost to last? (where is this making on grid better?) Sorry as i read this blog all i can see is negative,the thought of a new ship would have made most cream their pants,now all i feel is why do I still play this , for pvp(oh wait we call this content...why?its player verus player,content would imply the gamemaker have done something to add to said game) , for PVE (CCP can always make a bigger NPC ship to top drifters)..(storyline is even gotten to the point its recycled),for Mining,yeah you killed that one again with this blog. CCP why are we playing this game of yours? You have nerfed just about everything to the game you have takened most of our modules turned them into something low grade all except for t2,faction mods,you cant even get decent reprocessing out of a wreck,took skill training skills out,attribute enhancers are soon to be gone,Trading skills dont really matter,Leadership skills pointless now,Social skills are being kept for what reason now,even the fun,More of the game is played outside than inside.KIllboards?you got ppl padding it left and right now to the point its not even a realiable way to judge a target.Half the thrid party programs are delayed and dont really give actual pricing,Forums are endless,apis to everyone,you almost have to have a government background check to get into a big alliance to get to said place to do all this "New and Great" stuff. Its funny,you want more people to pay to play(pay to win as well) ,dont care if they play or not but now if they are using alts its bad? CCP it definitely looks like your trying to do stuff,bravo on posting updates,you keep only counting ships destroyed as the only fun, you gotten us to this point to where it pointless to have alts now,so no need to keep them subbed,right , well it is august,you still have time this year to pull something out that is actually great. Whereever your doing the testing for how your stuff works server is failing you cause you have a narrow audience,even more so now,Your real feedback is from your numbers, which are based on ???ships loss,(this is suppose to be fun?) really at any given time there is roughly at least 10k+ on the server,who perform the main stuff of the game,pvp,pve,mining, and you want to drop that down to what 5k? i dont know what the purpose of this game is anymore so why log in now ,CCP you been doing this for what 13 years,i have seen ten of that ,this wasnt the biggest disappointment so far thats good. In my opinion since you have "so many great" third party tools,just make one called "Local" some chat based on your location (another API thing for people to use however they see fit),Take local out of the game,since you dont even care to use the eve chat or update it,this way you can keep users "logged in" since they would need a character on both sides of gates like wormhole space,(cause the option of playing with local up and running is just sooo cool and informative with spam,scams,and bully people talking foul language and aggressive natures. Why does CCP keep all this negative stuff? Who is actually telling CCP this stuff works,who at CCP is believing it, i know you think you got something going on similair to departments or sections,how about a department to sort this meat grinder ,all this stuff you got coming in and all that is coming out is not a very nice word. and for what we pay for the said bad word can provide a better christmas on a console .I hope you got your Do Not Fire List made up cause this one will cost you a few jobs but hey at this rate i wont be worrying of EVE soon.i can go back and play something easier on the eyes similiar to WOW.Good Luck CCP,use what you got of this year and fix yourself.

hi sec Mining this will ruin it as mining fleets of more than 1 booster +2-3barges + 1 hauler can strip 1 belt in 10-30mins or so mins so for fleets of more you need the the boost the cover more than 1 belt as in the past I've run fleets of 20+ covering 5+ belts in large systems. so this system is not very useful for more than 3barges as the booster will need to be in Constance warp to refresh the boost in all the belts or you need a booster in each belt which increases the need for boosters,
I used to run a 23/7 hour booster fleets with up to 30 people dropping in and out which will be imposable under new system

I would have to look at the positions of all the asteroid belts in all systems. But if the range was close to 2AU, how many belts would that cover in your average system?

It would still allow for boosting to several belts or fighter wings or whatever, but perhaps excluding several key areas.
At worst it would require one extra boosting ship?

Maybe if each boosting ship created a big boosting field, so if there are two boosters and only one is at max everyone within the field would still get max boosts?

As far as PvP or WH logistics, I can say I do not know enough to make a decision.
