When you get the answer from the GM. Could you post the decision here.

Not posting the petition exactly but something like.

"Nostromo is / isn't allowed because....."

So that it can be used for future reference[/quote]

It's the least i can do to say thankyou, Sure, Ofcourse i can,

Thankyou for the headsup on how to word the reply as well, I'll remember that,


EDIT:

Dear Eve Forum, After all of this, I've actually spoken to a friend of mine who I purchased the hardware from and have decided to return this hardware to them under a terms and conditions fault (able to return in 10 days if issues arise with product)

Due to the above, ^ And all of this messing around as much as i love the razer nostromo I've decided and will attempt to return it tomorrow, This is a decision I've made purely because I was unaware that macro's were such a big issue in games these days, I'll just pickup a black widow or something, play legit, no extra side buttons or macro's due to the EULA Will be used in EVE On line in association with my account as I value it, Eliminate the problem no problem is there, However, I understand many players Wish to use this form of hardware so, I will in turn repost the response here as I believe someone sometime in the future may ask the same question,

I thank all of you for your contribution to this thread, and I understand that this is something all of you have on your mind and are curious to know.

If any of you have these boards for the time being until this thread is Answered, I encourage you to Stick with single 1 key mapping, Eg G1 = T And i discourage numerous key maps E.g F1+f2+f3 (With delays between) Until i have some form of clarification for you,

I just want to make it clear, These boards are amazing for what they are, However, As time has shown us all, fate and stupid people have ruined these boards for us and the ability to use them the way they were designed years ago,

Thankyou All Again, And when i receive a reply, you all will be the first to know,

Till next time,

~ Serenity G.

Automation is...

When the program alters stuff when it finds out that it can't execute the order given.

Say you are a miner and programmed a key that activates all 3 miners on your hulk.
If the program then detects that your orehold is full and jettison when it is (and only when it is full)...That is automation...

Anything that has a program look for IF condition x is met THEN execute order y OTHERWISE execute order z
As this means the program runs the inputs to the server and not the person behind the keyboard.


Binding keys to 1 macro key just means you can order multiple things at once, but it still require you to order EVERYTHING manually.[/quote]


Ahhhh, I see now, thankyou for clarifying that, however, i did hear macro's were capable of doing the equivalent with delays for example, You could be afk, judge the average time, and do the same thing with correct delays in place, I believe this here is the reason Macro's on top of Bots are considered a No no due to people doing the same thing through delays and multiple macro keys, The guy who i got the nostromo off from the hardware shop told me this when i called and regarded the EULA on eve earlier today and the return policy, and according to him the EULA on wow also had a similar section in place due to this reason.


I understand now, Either way its a shame people abuse this hardware and ruin it for the majority of us who do the correct thing,

I'll still put up the reply here, but i have a feeling that keys are subject to single commands ONLY or "remap" as previously stated above, ^

Thankyou all again, Thankyou J'poll for clarifying that for me, =]

I've remapped a few keys that I often use onto my mouse (Logitech G700), D for docking/jumping, A to Align, and the shortcuts to close one or all windows. I also have a Saitek Cyborg Command unit that I mapped the F keys, map, and target lock so I don't have to reach up to the keyboard so often.
