I logged on when server went up..
Tested how the AI would work..
Warped my drake to a anomaly in lowsec, once I had agro from everything I warped in my Taranis alt and warpscrambled my Drake..
Instantly caught agro from all cruisers with the Taranis..

Thougth about the new safety system..

This expansion effectively killed: Canflipping, missionflipping, awoxing, 0.0 ratterhunting, and to some extend suicideganking, 1v1 can fights in empire.
Beeing a lowsec badguy more or less means you can't go to high-sec because of the new killright system.

Came to the conclusion that non-consensual PvP has basically been killed off..

Downloaded patch before off to work where I sit at present, wishing I could be shooting some reds. Le sigh. I see a 2 hour lunch break in my future though.

You only generate killrights in lowsec if you pop a pod. If you pop a ship, you do not generate a sellable killright.

Even better, no more 15 minute waits between fights in lowsec!

um...you could never go to high sec safely as a low sec badguy? you get shot by faction police.

don't give me "i am only semi bad and my sec status isnt below -2" cause then you aren't bad.

also:

missionflipping: better off just suicide ganking expensive mission ships
canflipping: lame
awoxing: lame
nullsec ratter killing: easily possible

I logged in, started to update my market orders, and set manufacturing runs. Got to about order 20 gave up, tried to set a couple of manufacturing runs; minimized EVE incredibly annoyed.

And I'm apparently not allowed to instigate a discussion about the UI in the general discussion forums.

What's holding you up on market orders and manufacturing runs? I'm stuck at work for several more hours and it's something I didn't mess with on the test server.

The mouse wheel has to be over the input fields to change things like order price and number of runs.

I can't really move the mouse and work at the same time anymore, and have to postiion the mouse over tiny elements in order to use them, or have the cursor in places I don't want it just to scroll through information I need.

Funny. I had the same dialogue with a pal on Skype while waiting to log in. It started off with the cruiser-changes talk tho. I asked him what he thought the game hold for us who used to, in the older days, just do a little bit of random shooting here and there. Lowsec, nullsec, players, NPC's, bit of everything. Just casually pick a ship up and shoot whoever popped up. Like we used to. Or just take a random ship, and roam literally anywhere, and shoot whoever lived there.. and they'd shoot back. Like things used to be. We both thought about it for a little bit and realised no, nothing remotely like that exists in EVE anymore.

If you look at it from CCP's point of view: subs are not going down? Nothing is wrong. Promoting PvP blobs and highsec PvE has created more revenue for them than the original content did. So let's just kill EVE as we know it and profit from this new brain-deprived new version instead. It makes sense. They make more money. Sure it's not nearly as fun, or having any kind of skill involvement, or is true to the original statements about how 'dangerous' EVE is, and how it's home to 'pirates, scammers', 'people can make their own future' etc. Now highsec is safe, and you're forced into blobs in low- or null. That's it.

There'll be the occational exception of people spending X hours for a 1-3 vs 1-3man fight, and chances are, they won't be using t1 hulls with t1/t2 fits. Like we used to. And it most certainly won't be people hunting for escalation-PvP fights in the belts, now that noone belt- or anomaly PvE's, and even if they do, they can just safely run away from you. And even if you do get a tackle, the NPCs will swap to you, and even if that doesn't happen, the PvEr will either be in a 50+ ppl sov-upgraded fortress, or alone.. so no escalation and stable PvP source.

Maybe it's time to rename this game to Hello Kitty in Space.
