Hi I can comment on this a bit. This used to matter. CCP did not generally care about isk transfers between A) Characters with the same IP B) Characters within the same corp C) Characters within the same alliance. CCP also did not generally allow chatlogs from outside the game itself to be used in RMT investigations.

Post darius johnson those things don't seem to matter. I guess they needed someone to be an rear end in a top hat and prove that nobody cared. Now if you do something suspicious it is your problem and your responsibility to prove your innocence.

However, "I talked my friend into vouching me into PL coming back to EVE, and I'm sending him 50b to get back on his feet" is more than above board.

I could see some GM just seeing a pile of reports and pressing butan, instead of doing actual work. A lot of EVE pve (especially belt ratting) lends itself amazingly well to botting; people are now able to write bots that level characters in wow, most eve pve is super-simple in comparison.

Yeah, but after the Makalu, PK and Mukk times, I think dudes just sit back and let other people do their thing now.

Nothing sucks more than trying to brawl 150 provi nerds with 60 dudes and your -A- allstar FC team decides to start a rigorous debate about who should be primary (at the same time). It was the worst of times, and never the best of times.

For the most part I'd say about 70% of PL are guys with high-skill characters (and titans), decent game skills (understanding of mechanics, fleet procedures, etc), 20% are savant-y guys who work hard to do everything, and 10% are elite pvpers who run around lowsec with linked snake succubi or some other fotm cancer

Have the bans been handed out, isk confiscated and whatnot yet? Other than the IWI guy I've not seen a whole lot of drama.

Yes, they did the bans in advance because giving people with a ton of assets and ability to disguise them warning that they're going to be banned is dumb.

Outside IWI there's not been a whole lot of whining because the only people banned were IWI and some tiny nobody that literally no-one cared about. Eve-bet was the other big player and they were clean, so they get the last month to keep operating and shut down cleanly. They keep their rep, the profits they've made running the thing, and probably have a substantial amount of goodwill at CCP if they move on to a new non-gambling thing.

Other option would be to track every account on the naughty list and ban the prominent ones who will sound the brown alert, make the announcement and say they already banned everyone that got caught, then use subsequent activity to discover laundry/parachute/hacked accounts as well. Then after a day or two delete all isk that has been transferred, ban the bads, and investigate all the newly flagged accounts

Dunno if CCP is that clever though.

Are people still complaining about OP T3Ds and how awful Assault Frigates are? Because I had an idea!

Link to the EVE-forums if you can stand the awfulness.

You of course couldn't posted:

Some time ago Interceptors got this nice additional role bonus making them immune to undirected interdiction like bubbles. This turned out to be powerful enough to make them taxis and low-scale raiding forces everywhere in EVE.

Now I don't actually mind them having this powerful effect, but it makes Assault Frigates look like lame ducks in comparison: All they get is being harder to kill than your average frigate plus a bonus to the sig-bloom caused by equipped MWDs. Not very much, which is why many people prefer T3Ds nowadays.

This made me think about how to give Assault Frigates something different without just making them stronger than T3Ds, which would just be the same bad thing we have now, with the roles reversed.

Of course then it dawned on me: Assault Frigates already have a role bonus related to what they're supposed to be doing (assault something)!

The bonus to MWD-sig makes it easier for AFs to hit hard and fast, without immediately getting blown up. The problem is just, for the comparatively small frigates the bonus isn't large enough to compensate for T3Ds existing. It's also a lot less powerful than interceptors being able to evade bubbles with ease.

So my suggestion is two-fold:

1. First, change the bonus to MWD-bloom to 70% (Before you complain, the new AFs will still have 50% larger sigs afterwards, which is significant for a tiny frigate.)

2. Add a special, MWD-related bonus to Assault Frigates: MWD-Immunity against scrambling-effects.

To clarify MWD-Immunity, I'm not suggesting making AFs immune to warp scramblers! Only the MWD, which is normally shut down by warp scrambling, too. If you think about it, there are still a lot of counters: The AF can be neuted out, webs can slow it down and many AFs don't have the cap to let the MWD keep running anyway. Also the MWD still makes an AF's sig 50% larger, even with the stronger role bonus. The AF is still easier to hit and will get more damage applied to, especially from missiles.

This isn't actually overpowered, if you think about how T3Ds still beat Assault Frigates in everything else, like DPS and EHP. This change makes AFs just competitive again without making them just a soulless "shoot better" option.

This change should bring Assault Frigates back without overpowering other ships in turn. Your thoughts?

So, would this change bring Assault Frigates back from oblivion? Too much? Not enough?

Scram immunity is probably a bit too strong, and immunities themselves are just really lazy design and should be a last resort.

I'd say +2 natural warp strength would be better, then you can pepper them with racial bonuses that make sense (with T2 resist profiles that match) and either a role bonus to active rep/+falloff ++damage

Its not about warp strength. They want to be able to use a mwd while scrammed which would make them pretty silly. Still wouldn't help them enough for larger fleets though
