How about just not afk ratting in your "safe" bubbled systems? :)

Personally I'd be more than happy if bubbles just died quicker and generated killmails, but not going to complain about the expiry times on them. Seen some stupid amounts of bubbles on gates whilst roaming around and am looking forward to hopefully there being less of it (or atleast making it expensive for the bubble owners...)

Because - Effort
Because - There is something good on netflix
Because - Can't complain about hotdroppers if you're there watching for them, so have to afk rat
Because - AFK nulbears are entitled - to what I'm not sure but they will (and are here) telling us they are

We roam into plenty of groups who aren't hiding behind 10s of bubbles. Not all entities in nullsec are wimps expecting highsec like safety.

1) nullsec is way safer than hisec would ever be after all the nerfs.
2) keep roaming them and stfu with your complaining.
3) bubbles does not mean wimps, they buy time to react, nothing else.
4) wimps are the people crying about bubbles, too bad to send a fast tackle while you go through.

I like the timed decay from the standpoint of CCP's general shift towards active play instead of passive play (i.e. requiring manned defenses for citadels, etc.). I would have handled the timers differently though.

Bubbles are still effectively permanent (scoop, redeploy) so long as a player is willing to put in the effort to make them so.

Generating killmails puts them on par with other deployables, which is good from the standpoint of consistency. However, I'm still not convinced that deployables should generate killmails at all, so I would rather the change gone the other way. Having deployables not generate killmails would lead to them being used (and destroyed) more often, both by the killboard-sensitive and those not wanting to give free intel.

Overall, kinda meh.

In current game balance, no, pvp fits have tremendously overwhelming advantage.
Check capqu's ganking videos how he kills multiple pve tengus with his Thrasher, and they aren't even shitfit, it's just balance is that bad.


That's impossible and you know it. Why do you lie so poorly?


ok let's check this one.
Risk: insured Thrasher (read none).
Reward: Infinite.

Where is that backbone again?

This is looking to be the biggest chore of all eve should you decide to do it. 2/3 of hisec quit for less.



this.

Hey folks thanks for the feedback so far!

On the subject of the bubble durations we understand that there are a lot of strong feelings about proper durations (both people who think they should be shorter and those who think they should be longer). Balancing between the needs of different types of players is always a tightrope and all I can say is that we'll continue to work hard trying to thread that needle.

Some Q&A:
I'm pretty sure it won't, due to the method of destruction used by the decay system.

It's generated for whoever owns the bubble in space. So if it was "launched for self" the mail will generate for the person who dropped it, if it was "launched for corp" then it'll generate for the corporation.

Not at this time. If we do something more drastic in the future like dramatically shorten lifespans or making the bubbles disposable then we'd re-evaluate material inputs at that time and consider changes.

No, under their current implementation killmarks only come from killing piloted ships.

You'll see this more and more over time.
