That's not to say that many parts of the engine probably need real re-writes, of course. You're not wrong. But it's still more of the same right? The game plays exactly like a game that is designed and implemented in SQL and network code. They've never added a game system that doesn't fit this model. Maybe Abyssal filaments? Not sure how those work specifically in their backend. They did manage to move the skill queue into a separate service, but CCP monkey's paw made sure to gently caress that up with the lovely skill UI update that came with it. I guess my point is that even their technical stack is outpacing their game design at this point.

It's a fully deterministic simulation that takes exactly zero server resources until someone physically looks at their planets. Too bad its UI is a garbage fire.

Theoretically, you can have bigger fights now, but with the cost of everything worth flying up 6900%, good luck finding someone that wants to commit a fleet.

Loading turrets by using VR controls to chamber one shell at a time. Okay I'm bad at being bittervet. I used my free SP to inject Dictor and I've been having a ton of fun. No complaints.

It’s pretty incredible that some games are trying to push the envelope to realism that you just gotta ask why not just, uh, do that job in real life? Like, you can be a city planner or a baker or a soldier or a car mechanic… Realism as escapism is actually very 21st century I suppose. gently caress this Earth.

dialhforhero posted:Zelda is actually just doing other people’s errands. Minicurve started playing wow and it’s gotten *worse*. They condensed the levels, and made everything scale with level like elder scrolls, and I watched her spend two levels just walking from area to area clicking glowing things for the NPC 4 ft away. Also you can do quests in areas that you can fly, but the rewards will be half as much as the new shiny extra special areas in which you can’t says the wow dev picking up his big stick.

1) delay local by 15-90 seconds scaled to the dbs of the system, lower the dbs the faster local appears. 2) the dbs' range is now from 100% to 250%. the most ratted in system is 100%, and the least is 250%. it's only effected by isk in bounties killed, not number of rats or how many player ships are destroyed weighted by an hourly average, daily average, and weekly average, with the first being weighted by a sixth, the middle being worth a third, and the latter worth a half in weighting. 3) undo mega rorq nerfs, disallow a rorq from dumping drones into a mobile depot, reduce PANIC time by 33.333333333333% 4) reduce skiff/procurer ehp/remove a midslot by ~25-30%, give all barges/exhumers 5% more mining yield per skill level, apply it to mining drones too  . 5) revert surgical strike other than the +20% damage to short range ammo 6) fully passive moon mining for 75% of the ore value, deposited once a week after mining has begun, paused at any time a structure is reinforced (optional system) 7) all citadels and pos in pochven explode, none to ever be anchored ever again. remove any security status need for entering any system. alpha clones cannot enter pochven or wormhole space except for thera 8) lock all fwar tiers to tier 4, defending or attacking any plex provides a full payout, defending a system at 0% contested provides no payout. only players engaged in factional warfare can enter medium/small/novice plexes in factional warfare. remove all fwar mission agents and put 3 of each level in one system on the edge of the warzone, then double the payouts. also completing a mission where the destination gives u progress to capping a system. citadels in fwar space can only be anchored by corporations in the war, become low power and unfueled upon leaving the war, and can only be docked in by members of the winning faction. structures can also not be transferred to another corporation while in the warzone. only the amarr-minmatar or caldari-gallente warzone is active at at time, it rotates on a 4 month period. add some cool winning rewards or something depending on how much u contributed, would be cool 9) reduce highsec incursion payouts and lp by 25%, and increase lowsec/nullsec incursion payouts by 30%. remove the abilities for caps to enter incursion sites. reduce orca mining yield by 50% but made mining laser upgrades give 25% each but u gotta waste ur lowslots lmoa 10) the act of opening a wreck removes your warp landing immunity. if you die within 5 seconds of looting a wreck what you took is moved back into the wreck as if you never looted it 11) abyssals are removed from the game. (optional rule, they cannot be activated in highsec and they appear as warpable beacons everywhere else) 12)pi factory layouts, remove the annoyingness related to a setup working on some planets and not on others because the planet size is bigger and the connections just barely make it not work or w.e. linkable pi setups in game. sentry guns on poco that has ai that rivals posses of old,. so they mostly shoot hostiles or once in a blue moon dunk a friendly for no reason, that'd be cool 13)ess now provides (20-5%, scaling down) of whatever is in the bank (up to 1b payout) per week to whoever owns the system. keys are no longer required to rob the bank things, you just go there and start sucking after a delay 14)reduce prices of dreads to prenerf , double dd damage and cooldown, remove dread invuln damage controls 15)nothing is nullified except for shuttles, end of discussion 16) missions now give 20% bonus to rewards per sec status below 1.0, instead of 10% 17) warp disruptor sentry guns in all sites that disrupt u but die instantly once the site is complete, they point u till u clear anom or u kill it, they do not auto aggressed by drones 18) ore is no longer distributed based on high/low/null, make it so every region can supply it's own poo poo, it's a loving massive universe gently caress u ccp 19) ok schizo posting is over
