EVE General Discussion

Guess what brah, I got a solution for ya. Ask CCP to give you and your family a new server called Senility (SN) supported entirely by your subs, where you'll be able to play this old game forever in your calculators. Any possible game development delivered by them besides patches will only hit on TQ, so you're safe from us in SN!

Only thing I see worth a damn are the sisters of eve ships. Taxing HS planets, most don't pi either becuase it's not worth the time or it takes too long. Most planets in HS are wiped clean anyway. What are we going to "Tax"? That article seems full of crap http://www.eveonline.com/rubicon . We are The Bored.

So.. ah.. the tax right now on an NPC Poco is 11% right? So.. when this changes find the Poco's that aren't jacked up in taxes. Corps/alliances WILL want you to use THEIR Poco.. cause.. passive income m'kay? Following this logic.. most Poco's aren't going to have a high tax. In fact, the last article I read about this was in favor of the Highsec players who are into PI will save some isk. I would expect to see 7-8% at most Highsec Pocos, but anything under 11%, or 11% itself for that matter, is fine. Anything above that.. switch planets accordingly. It's not like this **** is hard.. time consuming maybe.. if you get stuck with a high tax and have to switch/abandon planets.. but I don't see it.. because the owner of the Poco wouldn't make money.

There are always exceptions and griefers, but shooting at structures sucks and most evil pirate people aren't going to want to do it.

I like the Idea of capsuleer owned stuff in space. It is our space at last.
However I live in High Sec, and I like the relative security and quietness in high sec.
Of course there are days where you do not know if you manage back home in one piece or not, but mostly we have quite times. They say it is more save in 0.0 but i think you have more freedom in high sec after all. You pay the price with smaler revenues.

Most of Miners in my area seem to lay their feed high while melting the stones in the nearby asteroid field. They are not interested in "Dockfights", battles or war. They are happy if they are left alone, with a small revenue at the end of the day.
I hear rumors now of a change. Codename Rubicon is whispered, to bring that to us.

I wonder what happens to my fellow Trid watching Miners? - Do they get a word in the future upraise? Is someone fighting for this silent workforce? I hear of dreams of guerrilla style warfare. Unpredictable, surprising dangerous! A lot of High sec care-bares are unprepared and unwillingly to learn of consequences. They rather would look for a new relaxed job as station facility managers, cleaning toilets and floors. I have seen that and can show you what will happen on an example Killboard for a infamous ganker I have met. His stories are shocking. The same as the stories I hear from my law and order fighting Capsuleer comrades.

I understand High sec goverment are giving up power, focusing on their Planets. I do not mind that, but I have deep concerns that some will be forgotten in the change and will be lost to us all.

I hope whoever leads this coup has eyes and ears open. I can only be concerned at this point. The rumors are still quite vague.

Thanks for your time!

It is great to have another expansion, but i feel as it is missing the point. All the new skins and ships are great, but that is not what creates content in EVE.

None of these new gadgets will actually liven up the Null sec situation. If anything it will make it worst (deployable cyno jammer will make it hard to escalate massive battles and isn't this what EVE is mainly about?) Also giving more income to the high sec in the form of POCOs is making this game even more safe and taking away that already little droplet of new blood that goes to Nullsec.
EVE nullsec is stagnating and nothing is being done to fix it. Starting with Sov.

I am looking forward to en expansion where big alliances have to work hard to keep all that space they have conquered and sits empty now. Some sort of guerrilla tactics where a smaller Alliance can severely disrupt and challenge the bigger one.

How about taking off your gloves CCP and giving us a brutal game where your mistakes will get you punished.

RL has too much Health and Safety going on, don't make EVE like that.

Thanks

I think what you really want is new Griefer Warrior Faction artifact: Tear Catcher.

Perhaps it could be produced only by HiSec PI?

Even better: is made of IndustrialFibers and SiliconGlass, in HiTech Factory! Silicon comes only from Lava planets, OxidizingCompounds only from Gas planets, IndustrialFibers only from Temperate planets.

Finally, can only be produced by Virgin character -- that has never killed a player-ship!

I am late to the party... Damn! Have one question about an intriguing sentence from CCP Seagull Rubicon article on New Eden future. Here is that sentence:and a photo to accompany it: http://web.ccpgamescdn.com/eveonlineassets/expansion/rbc/message-img-1.jpg

In the picture linked above one can see spaceships "mining" something what looks like Customs Office Gantry. I have never built a POCO myself but have seen a video of the process: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wf2VybLQPs (Thanx )

My question is this: will we be using "building lasers" to actually build things in space ourselves?

Making big Alliances fight/ work to keep their regions under sov is a great idea. People don't go to Null partially because the little guys can have significant impact not very often. Empowering guerilla tactics would go a long way to making Null the place to be.

How about if you are unchallenged in a region by a sov holder you start to erode the defensives timers of ihubs, bridges, stations, forcefields and etc.. If you hold sov you should be forced to hold it beyond one big epic battle of capital ships.

We should be able to hack pocos and steal the collected taxes, hack into unmanned player owned stations and steal some of the loot/ ships. If no one is around and there is no Concord why not?

We need a forcefield hacking module that disables the field for a brief period like 10 to 20 minutes while sounding the alarm so the sov owner can respond.

Hacking into corp assets/ accounts held in stations should be possible if embezzling and armed robbery are possible in New Eden why not burglary?

an expansion would be something like old structures that I can dock in, dismount, and explore via FPS

for not doing that, shutting down team avatar, adding other metas and labeling them expansions... I'm losing faith.

in the past, the thought of shutting down my subs (and losing access to my girls) has been out of the question, but now the hope for greater things in EVE is nearly gone. it's not so hard to walk away from a game that never managed to change into something more.

EVE may not be dying, it may never die, and that's fine for people who are happy with it in its current form.

what's it going to take?

and why haven't the finnicky right-click menus been fixed (amazon hack).

this situation strikes me as a case of 20% of the people doing 80% of the work, due to the 80% lacking talent or ability. you know, people only interested in clinging onto their jobs and justifying their hours on paper.

I realize talent and skill are hard to come by. but you're a for-profit company, and talented/contributing vs dead weight is a problem that comes with the territory.

FIVE of you launched EVR

This is prolly said here already few times but I fear that Incursion fleets get pretty homogenous. With the "bastion module" Marauders will get huge advantage on incursions due to no need for logistics. Just put group of Marauders there with bastion modules and they will do the job. Which will be great advantage over normal incursion fleets that requires logistics support.

Only the Caldari marauder Golem would be excluded from this privilegia due to use of missiles. the time it takes for missiles to arrive on target.. on competition cases turrets have already popped the target and leaving missiles always on disadvantage.

Some people of course wants to reply that u can use golems to clear sleeper sites on c4 and do missions and do even pvp if u will... but so can do other marauders. its just missiles being in disadvantage on hisec best isk producer.
