Crime & Punishment

After speaking with some of the CSM members on skype CCP has 2 big things in plan for High Sec

1. Controlling Economy

2. Combat Mechanics


Here is what CCP is planning for the corresponding points

1. Bounty Rewards from NPC's in Highsec will be reduced(amount has not been decided but a "significant amount").

Incursions will reduce ISK payout while increasing LP payout.

Incursion sites will stop spawning with the appearance of the Sansha Mothership. Meaning you will have to kill it and end the incursion.

Only one Incursion constellation will exist in Highsec at a time. No more three different Incursion Constellions in Highsec. This will reduce the isk flow of incursions, at the same time will make it easier for players to form fleets.

Faction store tag requirements are reduced in favor of higher isk redeem payment. Making it easier to obtain certain modules that required a ridiculous amount of tags

New isk sinks are being brainstormed to combat the excess of ISK being generated.

2. Neutral RR, as already announced will have aggression timer as the repped target. But also will now be marked as "suspect" meaning that anyone will have the opportunity to shoot the neutral logistics without fear of concord intervention

Player vs Player Aggression is no longer allowed within docking radius of the station (you must be e.g. 2500-5000m away from the station to initiate combat). This will allow the undocker better opportunity decide whether to engage or redock. Should engagement occur will make it more difficult to retreat.

War Dec cost will be based on the number of players within the target Alliance or Corp.

War Decs against the same alliance or corp can not be re-declared until 2 weeks has passed. This is a fix against war deccers discontinuing war and then re-declaring right after to avoid paying the added cost of prolonging the war

24 Hour timer join/leave timer will be added to fix the various inspace exploits done by aggressors and targets alike.

Aggression timer will be increased as part of a fix to docking/undocking games.

There is a possible idea of making all the ships spawn closer to stargates as a counter to gate-camping.

Overall I can see many of these things making EVE a more efficient game. Some may not like these proposed changes that will be made.

We will see..............

You still fight near a station, but you can not aggress within docking range. You must move some distance off before you can do so.

I understand it quite well... people with no skill want to attack defenseless targets so they can feel "leet"

I support CCP slowly getting rid of them

If was cool, heck it was a moral duty to gank miners cause the bots were messing up everything. Now its devolved into getting "tears" so CCP is gonna slowly kill the monster it created and hopefully take care of the bots that plague the game

Greifers got way out of control and even started boasting about a exploit... idiots

I want to have babies with whoever at CCP is responsible for this :)
Best news i've heard ever.

CCP is currently unhappy with the Highsec War Mechanics and want to completely change it into something new. With a EVE Uni CSM member giving a fair amount of support to these and the majority of the CSM holding a common view that high sec war mechanics are fairly broken, these changes will possibly be the first steps into making High Sec wars less monotonous and ridiculous.

Yep, if this happens I will unsub all of my accounts, this this bull ^$%

So now not only will missions be boring but the payout will suck. Gogo CCP! Nerf poor players using all their money for pvp! EVE must be turned into VeldSpar Online!

April 1st is over.

Are we playing the same game?

Also, string me up if you will, but I think giving remote RR a suspect flag for remote repping is a bit much. Giving the people they are RRing against a fair chance to kill them is good. Giving all of EVE a fair chance at killing them is too much, imo. I hate nuetral RR as much as the next guy, but...
