Jita Park Speakers Corner

To summarize:

I disagree with just adding a random factor to encounters and missions to add difficulty considering that if you ignore the existence of such sites as Eve-Survival, said encounters are already horrendously difficult with high damage and the potential of way too many nasty red things showing up to shoot that newb cluelessly shooting pirates or sleepers.

Randomness would be nice so that someone can't just turn to a guide to tell him what to do, and more importantly doesn't need to let someone else essentially do the mission for him. But just making things more difficult doesn't make it more interesting.

I would like to propose that k-space encounters have aggro mechanics added to them (You'd think that the pirates would, by now, have learned that maybe they should stop shooting that impossible to kill but barely damaging droneboat, and instead target the drones).

I would also propose that instead of having set triggers, that every so often a random NPC ship would stop and begin transmitting a distress signal. If the player doesn't blow it up in time, they get a few more reds added to the list.

Finally, I would like to propose that Sleepers be able to adapt to the situation. As in if a non-engaged Sleeper comes to the conclusion that it and its buddies brought the wrong tools to this fight, it shuts down momentarily, the ship itself gets visually altered to provide more attentive a hint that it wasn't quite the same drone it was before, and then resumes fighting with an altered weapons setup.

Hmm ... no clue about wormholes yet (but soonTM). However a friend of mine was in AHARM for a time, he nejoyed the stay.

I guess this was already talked over and it's an old thing, but my favourite EVE video is the R&K one against AHARM. Particularly the tracking exploit. Have you learned anything from the incident or what is your current view on similar exploit uses ?

a wise decision also on what you said early with a "static wormhole, do you mean a wormhole that never despawns maybe it changes where it leads every DT if its not a k162 on the inside it would change where it would spawn on the other side or do you mean to make it stay in the spot connecting two systems together forever?

no two step i mean literally static as in you dont have to scan that wh down if you have scanned it down before. at least thats what i understood from your post a few pages ago about class 7s and the like.

Two Step what do you think about easier way to tag targets? Like a keyboard shortcut?

Two Step, more than any other member of CSM5 or CSM6, demonstrates the fundamental correctness of Mynxee's goal of making the so-called "alternate" members of the CSM part of the process. Barely elected to CSM6 at all and dismissed as a wormhole specialty candidate, Two Step showed that he didn't really know or care what the word "alternate" meant. He simply did the work. More than any other single member of CSM6, he has been visible to the EVE Online player base in a variety of places, and has shown interest in multiple play-styles, not just his own. Two Step still represents an important segment of the EVE player base, but I'd now argue that it's larger than simply wormhole dwellers... it's every EVE player that has no interest in sovereignty-based play and super-cap blobs. Two Step deserves a full seat at the table in CSM7, and will be a terrific balance against these powerful forces. Two Step not only has my endorsement, he'll be receiving at least one of my votes.

Maple syrup update: First batch is done, 1/2 gallon of syrup is done.

Have you thought about marketing authentic "Two step" brand maple syrup for the rest of us?
