Some high level fleets were making millions offering access to their fleet holdings for non-fleet members to buy gear they didn't have unlocked in their own fleet stores. It doesn't actually cost the fleet inviting anything (save in the instance of fleet ships) if people buy from their stores, so there's really no need to be charging anything to 'cover expenses'. To address this we created a public channel where free invites to fleet holdings would be offered, thus saving the masses millions of EC which has subsequently angered the people who were charging for the same access.

Basically people hate us for being nice and stopping them from ripping off people.

I'm pretty sure it's billions at this point.

So update on the ban: I submitted a ticket on it last night for an answer on why I was banned. I checked on it this morning and I couldn't log into the support site anymore, so I called them. Got a lady on the phone, told me she can't discuss the ban on the phone, and that it was a ban from someone at support.

I had been trolling support for the past couple of weeks for cutting off my subscription five days early. That's like, a dollar right? I could tell the support guy was getting extremely upset by the third message, but it was too funny. So of course I didn't stop and this had been going on for a good week or two, not entirely sure.

So the lesson here: don't subscribe, and don't complain when they steal money from you or you'll get banned.

People on the official forums are noting that it'll take something like a year to max per school.

Someone on the forums posted:

2,000,000 EXP per school, 7 schools and 6K daily.

2Mil * 7 = 14,000,000 14Mil/6K = 2333.3 Days or 6.4 Years (aka after STO's 11th Aniversary) 2Mil/6K = 333.33 Days or 11.1 Months to max out ONE school.

Now of course this calculating at only one project slot, but considering the 5th slot doesn't open up until one school is at Lv 15, we're still talking YEARS to max out the system.

Well, that was painful to read. Remind me again why we should care? Did PvP and/or Hobo have a surprise surge back to relevance I missed somewhere?

HoBO is the self-proclaimed best PvP fleet in the game at the moment. Why? Because every other PvP fleet left the game months ago. Still counts though, right?

We may see a return of the classic 3xDHC, 1xDBB escorts. Since the drain is gone you'll be wanting BO3.

Actually you may want to limit yourself to just 2xDHC and whack on a torpedo with a high yield as well. May as well go all out for the punch through combo.

I guess while we're on the topic, the auto-crit favors CritD tactical consoles too.

Best ship for this? The 5 tactical console fleet Ar'Kirf. You also get the added bonus of a battle cloak and a hanger.

Ganking is apparently not so bad after the BO changes. But using all CrtD tac consoles could be interesting.

Edit: If you were a rom your BOs were already criting most of the time, and if you were smart you can figure out how to get no power drain. These changes just make it so getting CrtD tac consoles will make you hit harder. Of course most PvPers are dumb and most likely haven't figured this out yet.

Bloodly posted:

Doubtful. As far as I can understand it from what little I've gleaned here, if you're a non-cloaker(And possibly a non-Escort), you die. No ifs, no buts, and no hope.

I like cruisers. Worse, I'm an Engineer. I am thus entirely useless for anything and exist to die.

Engineers remain to this day the best healers in the game if you're not an idiot. Throw yourself in a recluse with some heals and some cheap doffs and you're near unkillable. Especially with no universal cooldowns on team abilities anymore.

This kind of rambling is almost poison ivey-esque, and I'd almost guess that they were one in the same, but Robbey's spelling is much better.

I think it was Erik Bobby Beckitt...and his @name was dragoons2 or something. I doubt it's him I get along pretty well with Bobby in-game -- he spends lots of time spamming me with all the details of his wedding/honeymoon -- so I don't think he would be this confrontational in a thread created by me. If another goon made the thread, then perhaps. Also: Bobby likes to write in a kind of folksy, good 'ol boy kind of way. I still think Robbey's posts bear similarities to Ivey, as Ivey 1. Believes that ALL goons/SA posters are aligned and working together to ruin the lives of every game player in existence 2. There are little turns of phrase used by Robbey that resemble Ivey's posting. Can't say for sure it's him, mind you.

Ah, right. All these people just blend together nowadays.
