EVE Information Portal

your just released devblog has just increased the damand on heavy water... please add more heavy water to nullsec, remove some ozone

best part of that blog was seeing orca finally getting an RR and drone bonus mostly the RR


but umm





this is something that worries me the porp is not that much more than a barge i'm not sure what its max yeild would be but if its to close to a proc i could see them replacing both procs and retrievers and i don't think that is the goal


EDIT so its only about a 2m/s less than current procs :/

its not hard to sit on rocks and the time lost going rock to rock is not significant.as for def drones its not hard to just pull them in and swap even then it doesn't give me a reason to use a ret over this thing


lowing it down to around 750-800 i think would be a safer number

Darlings, what have you done?

The scale of the feedback should be sufficient to alert you to how seriously your proposed changes will impact a significant number of loyal (paying) players.

It seems that a major driving force for the changes around the warfare links is the lack of transparency regarding those ships being boosted - so why not just implement the proposed change to make such boosts visible on the ships receiving and giving them? Requiring the boosting ship to be 'on grid' is a far more contentious point and one that really does impact on the rationale of why people trained the skills, bought the ships IN GOOD FAITH and spent valuable time developing their game play.

As for Command ships, the time and expense needed to fly these at their highest skill rating is considerable but (unless I've missed the reply in the 70+ pages on this forum) they will be materially impacted by the changes rendering much of what has been spent utterly wasted (less time to get to level 5 and 3 warfare links reduced to two burst). Unless these ships are to be given additional bonuses to compensate for the loss, then recompense is a legitimate issue which has not been sufficiently addressed, if at all.

EVE is a game in which planning ahead is a critical aspect of character development but, whilst it's great that you strive to continually improve it, this particular set of proposals risks undermining our confidence that such planning has any value whatsoever. It shouldn't be a surprise that those who have made the investment are the least supportive of the changes whilst, I suspect, those most likely to gain from the changes have little to lose.

Still love you lots, hope you've 'battened down the hatches' for the onset of winter in Iceland.

Seen the new specifics on boosts, look really good, but have one request.

Cancel bonuses on warp and if this is not viable on acceleration gates as with jump gates.

Since you mention it ..
Problem A ) is CODE uses what miners consider a flaw in CONCORD mechanics to pull them away from the belt using suicide ships and kill the mining ship with another .. i mean .. atm , there is nothing to protect the miners from ganking in high sec.
The flaw in Concord mechanics is even on the web in ganking web sites in clear detail on how to use it to kill miners.
ATM there is NO security in hi sec at all. A DEV even mentioned " you accept PVP the moment you undock. "

I mean .. ok .. let's be straight here .. we're manufacturing and mining and making **** to go to markets and have spent
unbelievable time to get mining boosts skills for fleet boosts. We spent years of time getting " skills " up to be able to do this ****.
Making the stuff that you see in the markets takes time and dedication. Resource extraction , mining , PI , research , manufacturing ,material efficiency .. tons of skills and time spent working hard to give you ships , modules , equipment that are needed for PvP and to be able to self sustain mining requirements for equipment. This is all based with the ability to get base materials , resources , extracted . Now every time you get a chance to , for some unknown reason , you come in with changes that have a negative effect on resource extraction when what you want to do is balance the PvP and battle operations.

When you take away the ability for a player to boost the miners in a system while you're docked in a POS you take away the possibility of the player that goes to work to use his account , game time he payed for . It's his business to leave the client opened all day , you also take away the extra yield that the miners can extract . POS boosting for mining actually HELPS keeping the costs of manufacture of ships etc , down for everyone in the game. It WILL have a direct effect on the prices of stuff or if we take the hit ( again ) accounts will be closed , people WILL drop the game because we can't get anywhere ISK wise and they simply aren't interested in going PvP only , like you guys seem to be hellbent to turn the game exclusively to.

Industrialists are fundamental to EVE economy, but changes that are made always end up going against our capacity to keep the market being alive and well. Specially in " high sec " ( which means nothing really ) .
I would simply devide the game into two groups when making changes. Changes that affect the war, pvp side of the game ( i adore going to Spectre Fleet and RvB , so i love that PvP FvF ( fleet versust fleet ) side too , that is 100% fun and i love it ) should not come affect the industrial side automatically and always end up making the game less interresting to our industrial group .

Of course we're talking mining boosting here.

And so changes that you make to industry should not penalise PvP and changes to PVP should not necessarily affect industry either. Fair is fair .. And last note .. the player always looses somehow in some way. Why not for a change make changes that will actually benefit players ( PvP and Industrials ) positively and give them what they expect of a game .. fun .. and not aggravation.

Thanks for listening ..
/me steps off the soapbox

( here comes the flood of torrential critics and " carebear " insults .. better close this tab and go back to the news ; )

Disagree, you would see on d scan and a toon in local going criminal. Also proper links would not get in novices where men fight.

No they couldn't. They've forgotten the 1 minute cycle time on top of the 30 second reload.
Which means you can't rotate boosts in the same module even with max skills.

It's not CCP's job to protect AFK income.

With the criminal tab, my scanning alt may be of some use after all.....
