That's an amusing change. If the wardec fee is not upkept by the attacker, the defender gets 24 hours of free first shooting at them. It's a welcome change I guess.

Yeah, I thought the same. Impossible to keep up with the horde of millennials 0.01-isking from their phones 24/7.

Now the problem is: how do they act against account sharing? Being mobile IP assignment pretty random, account sharing seems almost a logic consequence.

Align time on a nullified t3 is something like 3 seconds or near enough, it was super loving easy to catch that dude if they had something with a long enough range on its point.

Their command destroyer had interdiction maneuvers burst on a T2 burst module, so I don't think their two stilletos had any problems pointing the idiot.

I think account sharing is already a thing. As long as nobody makes it a problem, CCP doesn't make it a problem.

You can but it can be beaten via the latency game, as well as people blasting through your vicinity in a microwarpdriving interceptor.

the de facto policy on account sharing is that ccp doesn't give a gently caress as long as the account sharing creates no problems for ccp. the instant that it creates any work for a GM though, they'll make that work go away via bans. but nobody gets proactively banned for account sharing unless ccp thinks the account was hacked.

this is their policy on a lot of things

as soon as anti-gankers figured this out, they petitioned us every time a freighter died, every time we insulted them in local, every game mechanic we came up with, and encouraged every freighter pilot that lost a ship to petition CCP for it back while telling them the keywords to put in their post so they almost assuredly got it back.

You can click the item and it links to a page on the site talking about the item.

quote:

The Adrestia is a high-powered blaster platform specially commissioned for the 8th Alliance Tournament. While similar to its sister vessel the Deimos (on which its design was based), this ship nonetheless differs in some very important ways. Utilizing lightweight alloys and a prototype form of ion thruster, the Adrestia is capable of reaching truly mind-boggling speeds for a heavy assault vessel. While this makes it less sturdy than its predecessor, the lack of defensive plating is compensated for by state-of-the-art targeting systems, thoroughly optimized weapon hardpoints and upgraded warp scrambling capability. Don't let the lack of defense fool you; very few vessels out there can stand against the Adrestia toe to toe.

I haven't played for like 8 years, just fired her back up since I'm functionally unemployed at the moment. Don't really have a direction right now or a clue about what to do.

Got about 26 mil skillpoints, predominantly combat. Last thing I flew was a Talos but it was in the middle of nowhere so I had to abandon it. I remember running the Thorax a lot and whatever it's heavy variant was, along with drone boats. Was roaming with GoonWaffe back then, scamming and doing a bunch of small scale PvP.

Is there still small scale PvP to be had? Is there stuff to do for a returning mongoloid pilot? What do I do with my hands?

I returned after a few years of absence and started a fresh character without support of my other accounts.

Make sure you join a good corporation with a lot of activity. Don't be afraid to try something new. It's all up to you really. Actively search interaction and you'll have a good time!

I get the itch sometimes. I keep the game up to date, watch broadcasts, stay active. When I feel it, I then log in before I sub or plex and remember where I left off and how tedious the game can be and then log off again. Rinse/repeat every two months.

I think there's a lot of bitter veterans who play this game and hate themselves for it, but I think the game in and of itself is "fine". It's a very weird niche game and there aren't a lot of games like it in the world, especially not as popular.

There's mostly just a lot of really weird people who play it, and basically dominate the game.

It's actually come a long way, but the fundamentals are still the same. Eve is less a game and more a hobby, if that makes sense. Less fun, and more satisfying. Definitely geared more towards achievement and mastery than amusement.
