What's ADM?

edit: oh, active defense multiplier. Yeah, no, an ADM >3 means the attacker is committing to sitting around for a long while such that even goons can form up.

Activity Defense Multiplier. The more you do pve poo poo in a system, constellation, region the longer it takes somebody to gently caress with it in fozziesov.

I'm assuming it was one TCU and 1.0x systems, because it take 25 min at least for one sov structure with t1 entosis. :suicide:

It takes 3 cycles to reinforce a 1x ADM system TCU with no Ihub. The T1 entosis link has 5 minute cycle time. The systems I reinforced were EI-O0O and Z9PP-H.

Is there somewhere we can see the ADM for individual systems? It would be kind of nice to know where in Dek the alliance would benefit from members ratting in.

90% of goons will half rear end it, but 10% left over are mega spergy and basically unemployable as anything but an internet spaceship person and will make up for the other 90% through the power of autism.

I could be entirely wrong about this, but as the scale of the social dynamics of Eve has increased over the years, it seems CCP should have employed a social psych guy or a poli sci guy in addition to their economist. We repeatedly have seen in the last year or so the intriguing outcomes of what happens when people who prefer small scale groups (and thus their primary gameplay experience and social experience is with the same small handfuls or tens of humans) apply whatever the hell it is they think will nerf, break up, or impact vast social communities of tens of thousands despite an apparent total incomprehension of how said communities work in reality.

Pretty much every mechanics change that has been thrown at organized nullsec communities since Greyscale and Phoebe with the overt intention of reducing their scale, organization or power has done exactly the opposite. It's like the scene at the start of the Fifth Element where the Navy keeps shooting nukes at the Big Evil Thing and only makes it stronger and more deadly each time they do so. The weaker and less organized competition collapses utterly, the strong grow stronger and immediately make deals to enjoy ever-larger slices of the pie (since so much competition has conveniently been swept away by raising the difficulty level) and cackle while contemplating ways to amuse themselves at the expense of everyone else not part of the G8.. er, I meant J5. There's some kind of international relations metaphor to be made here, one suspects, as well as jokes about pictures of Elise Randolph, myself and UAxDeath Yalta-confing it up while clubbing in Vegas.

In completely unrelated news to the above - no connection whatsoever - I'm legit disappointed that I can't actually log into Eve's client and wreak havoc today. There's so much to do in this beautiful lovely new system, alas~

I'd actually be quite interested to see how extensive their backup system must be - have they kept everything from the start of the game, or only the most recent week/month etc?

Also, on a side note, as a 2-year old sperge EVE player I've missed out on a lot of things in the past (reading extensively on the internets doesn't catch up for being there) - have they ever had to do a rollback to a backup of any sort because something horribly broke sov/the market or something? (I don't mean in terms of getting rid of mines/teams/other features etc, actually having to roll the game back into the past.)
