So, I started exploring today. This is a friggin blast. I'm in an Astero, thinking of going to a Strat, but I dunno about the slower align time. I want to start ratting in a WH, but I know sleepers have strange drone agro so I am not sure about using Gila/Rattle. I know Tengu comes highly recommended, but I am MUCHHH closer to a Proteus. How much of a handicap am I gonna have?

Rattlesnake is great for c3 hole ratting with the benefit of not costing SP when you die.

FranktheBank posted:Is drone aggro not an issue like I thought? The sleepers switch aggro during fights. They have a different priority to ordinary rats as they won't fixate on one ship, except if you use ewar then you become top priority. So if you use a target painter that's applied ewar and helps the drones to hit.

It's time to bite the loving bullet and allow new players a bunch of SP to spend on poo poo. Maybe 5 million. Restrict extractors to require 10m sp perhaps, but it's stupid boring how long it takes when the only way to advance is by waiting.

idk but people tends to pursue asset/$/isk/whatever name it is in their pixel pocket, the larger the better, without actually having a use to it I stopped rating 8 months ago and is doing nothing to grind isk, with only occasional firesales hunting to flip some spare changes. it is by itself sustainable (without plexing my account, I paid my accounts with credit card). until I really need to go for a super I would keep playing eve this way, it's so much easier and less stressful.

bluegoon posted:They introduced RMT to a sandbox. Personally I think they broke the sandbox and they need to gradually but somewhat aggressively make this game a themepark MMO otherwise it won't work out in the long run for them. They'll never remove the RMT poo poo, like PLEX and off-grid gambling, Eve went the reverse of the Free To Play model, which is kind of crazy. because free to play rarely spells success, its just a way to maybe recoup losses on a failed project every successful 'free to play' game is either freemium like runescape or something with basically no overhead like quake

I could get behind this, although as has been pointed out when this kind of thing has come up previously, it would make alt proliferation even more absurd than it currently is. Maybe if CCP limited it to the first character on each account but with the buddy account deal that would probably still be too exploitable. I'm at 6 months and 13.5m SP and I'm just now getting to the point where I feel like I have real choices as to what I should train next (interceptors 5? max some more support skills? logi frigates? a t3d? leadership skills? all of these seem reasonable things to do for the next few weeks) as opposed to "ugghh gotta train x y and z for 3 weeks so I can fly something other than suicide tackle for this doctrine." That 13.5m SP covers reasonable competence with 3 frigate Vs, T2 small hybrids/light drones/light missiles, covert ops and interceptors (both to 4), T1 cruiser logi, RLML Caracals, Cormorants, and Talwars. Not exactly super overpowered with the typical unfocused training of a newer character, and training feels like less of a drag than it did, even though things take a little longer.

CCP is kinda doing that, but in the other direction - they're making prereqs a lot less skill intensive. These are live in the June release, but they weren't mentioned in the patch notes. Advanced Weapon Upgrades now requires only Weapon Upgrades IV Nanite Operation and Nanite Interfacing now only require Mechanics IV Guided Missile Precision now only requires Missile Launcher Operation IV Kinda nice to the new blood just getting into EVE now

Maybe if CCP limited it to the first character on each account but with the buddy account deal that would probably still be too exploitable. It's ok if people have more alts. If it enables the newbie to get in a fleet and have perhaps more than t1 frigs available for the first weekend it'd be so much more interesting and increase retention. Getting told no you can't you gotta wait is part of the game but people's attention spans just don't last that long. I've also think that the idea of allowing reallocation of sp after a period is very good. Hell allow them periodically. Although that's not likely since it impacts sp markets.

Stuff like recons and logi need it reworked to be 5% per level with the rest being rolled into base stats. Also doing away with cruiser V requirements. Its such a huge train for amarr cruiser V logi V when you might not even loving like logi. Rework the guardian to be Logi: 5% reduction in cost per level (rest rolled into base stats) amarr crusier 10% to remote armor rep range/cap xfer range (again rest rolled into a hull bonus) PookBear fucked around with this message at 06:06 on Jul 7, 2016 |

Also doing away with cruiser V requirements. If you mean doing away with role bonus and spread them out by base hull skill level and specialization level, I agree with you. However I think Specialization skills should also be racial, because while the base ship skill V requirement is steep, the Specialization skills are too powerful for affecting four races at once. I'd like to see a Gallente Cruiser I / Gallente Heavy Assault Cruiser I pilot become a thing, along with the resulting fire when the player thinks it's a good idea to undock.

I used to think I knew better in matters of game mechanics but after seeing the falling PCU over the last couple months I'm beginning to empathize. I can't offer any advice or explanation for why PCU is dropping down through 2006 levels. I want to say it's a good thing to reduce barriers to entry for T2 ships but the waiting game might help EVE's stability more than hurt it. The poo poo UI, however, I have several objectively good suggestions to make and what holds me back is mostly the graphics that I have to build to convey them. That stuff takes hours over several days, and it's a lot of work for something that might be ignored.

Boat's comments on the meta show were hard to take in. He talked about EVE becoming one of those has-been games you play just because you used to play it a lot. A couple months ago boat also said he would stop playing if he pinged for a fleet and only got 25 people or so. He pinged for a sword fleet today and guess what he got.

What is their mentality though? I joined when this poo poo kicked off, and 'kick karma fleet' and 'kick fcon' were almost interchangeable. Is it because karmafleet was always more integrated and basically another arm of gsf, but people like SMA and Fcon were strategic but not cultural allies? Or have I oversimplified their identities and the guys in those who wanted to stay got absorbed into gsf and those who wanted to leave just hosed off under those banners
