EVE Information Portal

Does anyone else keep having their game crash when warping to a star gate?

once again another useless patch lol I don't know why I keep playing

I did, yea, just zoom out a ways. That fixed it for me.

Hey guys, thanks for cleaning up the Show Info screen. The attributes tab looks great! So does the market screen! I got so used to the old way things were (searching for info) that this was a pleasant surprise.

Appreciated.

To make the salvage drones repeatedly salvage, you have to tell them to salvage BEFORE you lock anything. Unless of course CCP broke this with the new patch.

So I want to summarize everything from the feedback and issues threads today:

CCP has how many DEV's Working on eve?

AND WE STILL GET FAILED PATCHES/EXPANSIONS.


:TLDR:

Spend more time Testing and Less time Programming in Useless shite no one wants.

I'm looking at my Stiletto, which now requires a nano for it to be on par with its Tech1 progenitor, the Slasher, agility-wise. I'm reading the descripton of the Stiletto, and it says the Interceptors have superior maneuverability. I don't get it, andI don't really want to undock my Stilly.
Thank you so much, CCP, your appreciation of player feedback in this area is, you know, appreciated.

Taking time out of my day to do this:

Rubicon 1.1:
Mobile Scan Inhibitor – Provides a way to hide ships from probe and directional scanning.
The idea is nice, but the way it's been implemented is terrible. In eve, fights happen in 5 places. Big fights only happen in 3 of them (noted by a *).

1. Belts
2. Missions/Anoms
3. * Gates
4. * Stations/outposts
5. * POS's

Only one of these requires scanning, and any competent PVPer can d-scan someone down pretty effectively anyway. This module restricts d-scanning and probing, but makes it really easy to find the module -- which only 'cloaks' things in a 30km distance. So you may be hiding the intel of what ships they're in, how many are on field, etc. But that information is usually gathered by cloaked scouts anyway -- making the module pointless.

The distance restrictions for anchoring are terrible too. Not only is it a big "We're over here!" beacon for combat probes, but it can't be placed near a pos -- at least not in high damage firing ranges -- it can't be placed close to a station or stargate (which would be silly anyway), nor can it be placed near wormholes.

Lastly, it's really easy to kill. Warp tornado in at range, instapop, hey look dscan works again. Though by the time the tornado's on field, you probably don't care about d-scan anymore.

The siphon unit
I never got to play with these. They're too fragile, they're difficult to set up, and they only serve a purpose if you put lots and lots around a single pos to stack wastage -- to lower your enemy's revenue. To steal from it, you'd have to worry about the pos guns, and the complications that come along with pos's -- yours or your enemies.

ESS
To be clear, not going to touch that with a 20 foot pole. It's just stupid. First, its a 0.0 only module, so a high/lowsec pirate like me couldn't give a hoot. But for all those in null, it seems kind of silly that you'd reduce their bounties to 80% and force them to use a module that costs 25 mil and doesn't guarantee they make anything back on it - only to potentially get 5% more than they were getting to start with.

Nestor
I approve of the Nestor. It's a very niche ship, but I like the idea, and I think it's well executed. I'd have to fly one to really give good feedback on it, and frankly, I'm not dropping a bil into a logi/drone boat. It would definitely be interesting to see what players do with it.

Interceptor changes
Understandable. And especially so. The previous changes to interceptors had seen lots of fleets running strictly interceptors for a long time up to the patch. This won't change now, but it certainly gives other ships a chance to catch one or two.

Crucifier/Sentinel model change
Maybe it's just me personally, but I hate the new crucifier/sentinel model. The crucifier was Amarr's token asymmetric ship. Now it's symmetric and looks like it's gained a little weight. Because of the new model, it feels slower -- it isn't actually noticeably slower -- and looks less like an EWAR frigate than it did previously. I don't like the design.

Problems that should probably be focused on
Over the past 2 years, market prices on ship hulls have skyrocketed because of changes to minerals, building costs, and access to ISK for players that have been playing for while -- probably some other factors I'm either forgetting or don't know about. CCP, correct me if I'm wrong, has a no hands on policy with directing the market. But changes made through the addition of content -- namely incursions and the drone regions nerf -- has had a significant effect on the market. I'm unaware as to whether these changes were foreseen by your employed economist, or anticipated. But I would assume CCP's economist would have been able to foresee the effects those changes would have on the market. For new players, it's still very difficult to break the 100 mil mark that sets you on your way to becoming an experienced eve player. And with the increase in price of battleship hulls, this issue has only been exacerbated. Implementing new ways of attaining moderate ISK for low SP characters would help newbies a great deal.

POS Mechanics.
There's a lot wrong with POS mechanics. And I'm sure you've heard it all, so I'm just going to point and say "POS, FIX". At least pos-less guns aren't shooting people anymore.

Moon Goo
Stagnant. Shuffle resources or make it more involved -- give it a similar system to PI. This could also cause more conflict out in 0.0, which can solve lots of problems IE the over-propagation of super caps. Though I'm not sure that's a problem that can be fixed anymore short of making supers worthless.

Lowsec
Faction war changes were great, got a lot more people into FW space. What about regular lowsec? You took away our static sites and that's about it.

SOV Grinding
I don't know the specifics, but all I hear are complaints. Again, I'm sure you've heard it all.

That's all for now. I have an exam in 7 hours, so I best get some sleep. I'm concerned about the direction CCP is taking EVE -- perhaps CSM should be more involved in these processes. Then again, I don't feel CSM represents a good range of the EVE Population, given who the representatives are and who they're affiliated with. But that's a story for an

Launcher announcement:

Rubicon 1.1 successfully deployed




You call this success, I dread what you think failure looks like then.

Can we get a developer to confirm whether they have fixed the ati /freeze crash to desktop warp to gate bug? With the latest deplyment 1.1.1
