EVE General Discussion

Some of your reasoning isn't awful, but mostly you just ***** and moan about how much better everything used to be. Which makes you a tool.



Yeah, there's role overlap, but that's not the same as obsolescence. Intys are useful.



So... you wanna go back to when carriers did the same thing with haulers in the SMA? You want to have freighter-haul fleets from empire out to deep null and back? Have you considered how soul-crushingly boring that would be?



Riiight, let's go back to the days when the server was crashing from the thousands of instas everyone had. Because the bookmark UI is just awesome to deal with in the first place.

You've got a bit of a point that the universe is too small, but the universe is always too small. I'd rather see changes to warp speed than a return to pre-WTZ.



I've been a lowsec pirate most of my life, so no real input here.




Basic economics - this isn't ISK printing, it's passive resource generation. Rat bounties and insurance payouts are isk printing.

There has to be something to fight over-- if not resources then what exactly do you suggest? Besides, didn't they introduce moon goo when they introduced T2? You're reaching pretty far back there son

This thread-

Why it's bad: The OP has no clue what he's talking about.
He's just a parrot repeating what other trolls are saying.

Poasting in yet another crybaby thread

They don't

As it stands right now.
Things that can only be purchased initially from NPC traders in high-sec
BPO's (most)
PI (the power station or whatever it is called)
Skill Books

I am sure there are some others but daily runs a requirement, hardly.

The only thing right in the OP's list is Jump Bridges, everything else makes perfect sense.

No, the biggest mistake in the game was creating EVE, implementing the concept of loss and actually lossing items, then allowing people with a self entitlment issue to dictate that they have the right to nuke people into oblivion and its ok. This was so 5k subs online.

Then you get CONCORD in its current form. TO REDUCE THE RANDOM ASSHATTERY that you can dictate by smashing up people in EVE...its consequences to your ability to smash up people. See, there is this thing called people and its more then just you...all players pay to play the game and if you lose it so badly the first time why would anyone continue to pay for a game they can barely play...while you pay to play the game with no consequences to yourself. Bad for business for CCP, and CONCORD only interrupts against unsanctioned acts against another player....don't want CONCORD then don't gank (cause you can still attack them regardless) or wardec them or GTFO of highsec where its the only possible to have CONCORD sticking donut confectionary covered fingers in your ass.

tl;dr - CONCORD is a balance and equalizer, it never prevents or stops. One player adapts to the point they are like rampant vermin, the other player can't adapt as well. So CCP has to buff them everytime they determine by their discretion how its being abused, without offending the abusing party completely.

Also, worst mistake CCP has ever done is not implementing total loss. If you can throw away a ship and it doesn't feel like a loss when you lose it to CONCORD...its not a loss to you and you don't want anyone to do anything that prevents your self entitlement of doing what you want of causing loss to the other guy (buff hulks, increase CONCORD reaction times, make HS total SAFE!). So, the best form of total loss would be in the form of skill point removal whenever your ship is destroyed; not just T3. You cause the miner to lose SP in ORE ships, you lose SP in your gank boat...but this applies as well in null/low/high where ever you can cause someone to lose SP when ever you destroy their ship without CONCORD intervention...because the SP loss would be tied to destruction of your ship. Simple and effective method to implement a feeling of soul crushing loss everyone...now time loss in the form of skill points would be the new standard and not an isk ratio (since cost is never a factor according to Tippia and no one wants a hulk that dies well with ****** bonuses to get a buff)

Why do low/null sec people complain about high sec so much? If they don't like high sec, then stay out of it. Is it that hard?

When I poke myself in the eye, it hurts.. STOP DOING IT!

Interdictors let fleets be lazy. The problem isn't that interceptors are obsolete, it's that they're underused due to a shortage of competent pilots.


Why it's good: bookmarks not crashing servers, and taking away the "I have bookmarks for this gate and you don't" advantage.


My understanding of moon goo was that it was a market good, and no new isk was generated.

Interdictors-

Disagree. It's a ship w/ a bubble. A small one at that... those dictors are flying coffins. It's balanced.

Jump Freighters-

Agreed - Proposed fix: Remove jump drives from jump freighters, give them instead double the cargo hold of a standard freighter and maybe buff the already extensive armor and shields some more. Allow them to transport caps. Seems like a fair trade in terms of maintaining ship value for JF pilots while fixing a big logistical problem that should never have been introduced.

Warp to zero-

Disagree. Two words: Regional - Bookmarks

Jump bridges-

Agreed - proposed fix: remove them.

Titans-

Agreed - proposed fix: Turn them into Nomad Ships

Moon goo-

Agreed - Proposed fix: The mining moon mins in planetary rings seems like a really good idea.

Hey, look here. It's another Titan crybaby. Maybe if you and your titan owning friends hadn't decided to go and blap that CCP subcap fleet these titan nerfs wouldn't have even happened.

Don't blame CCP for your poor impulse control.
