Because then we will have 100 million ticks with afk ratters in 0.0. The only thing preventing people to abuse the 0.0 ratting is the thing your hardly able to multibox more than 2 of them.

And why you need a Fighter AI, Fighters are dedecated Spaceships with pilots who listen to you command and don´t do as they like.

He wants to be able to afk multibox 4x Supers instead of 2x.

Also eve vegas roundtable mentioned a nerf to null ratting.

If anything, they need to remove auto attack from all drones so AFK ratting can stop being a thing.

This.

To OP, no. Since fighters lost their AI, AFK carrier ratting isn't the isk faucet it used to be, and this is good. Yes, it is still an isk faucet, but not nearly as bad.

I think it's more about how royally suckered a jammed Nidhoggur is compared to a jammed Vexor. Something ain't right here. If anything, fighters are piloted by humans and ought to behave smarter than drones, lorewise.

Where is your support fleet?

Because CCP wants you to actually play the game instead of getting a bot they wrote to play it for you?

That's like asking why a sniper game doesn't just hand you a computer assisted rifle, or why a tank game doesn't give you access to all of the ridiculous computer assists that a modern tank has access to, which basically turn firing the gun into "click on target, wait for firing indicator to indicate gun is trained, trip firing pedal".

Hint, the answer is because it takes the "playing" out of "playing the game".

I think there was also something mentioned on one of the recent-ish o7 shows about CCP wanting to move end-game Null PvE towards group content rather than solo ratting.

Unfortunately, it'd take something incursion level to pull that off, which would pretty much screw over all the little groups in null. Anything less and we'll find a way to solo it.

Where is the vexor's support fleet, and where did I mention I didn't have one? Just pointing out that there are non-ratting scenarios where a 500k ISK unmanned drone outperforms a 20 mil manned fighter squad. Nobody said anything about other fleet elements which would obviously be present in both cases ;-)
