To be fair, Greyscale is the one who finally made null industry better with the outpost upgrade changes. probably because he finally got convinced he had to do it to kill jump freighters

ZekeNY posted:Sure, but these are the same people who thought it would result in the death of the Eeevil Gon Empire [sic], and still can't wrap their minds around the notion that the largest and best-organized group was (shockingly enough) in the best position to adapt to these changes and prosper from them. The basic problem is that CCP keeps looking at nullsec and thinking "we need to make it harder so the major powers can't keep dominating it". But the thing is, you make it harder, then we're the only ones who can deal with it. Some new alliances can't get over the four foot hurdle? Then they're not going to make it over the five-foot one. But we'll probably find a way. We have to improve only a little: new people have to improve much, much more.

Also the Levi bonus used to be worthless, because when it increased the total shield capacity it didn't actually add that much in shields. So you'd then have to rep everyone up in order to get the benefit of the bonus. The Rag's bonus has always been pretty useless.

Magic Rabbit Hat posted:37.5% Sig radius reduction is pretty significant. Even a full set of HG Halos is only half that, and you tend to see a major decrease in damage received when you've got a set of those plugged in. Yes, but not for a capital/supercap. It's strictly useful while supporting subcaps, which makes it extremely rare that its useful. All the other bonuses are directly relevant to cap/supercap fleets (though now that dreads no longer active tank, cap is less relevant, but when titans were first built it was incredibly important).

Demiurge4 posted:CCP really need to pull their heads out of their rear end and attempt to make all ship classes useful. The current meta is awful, I don't care if battlecruisers end up with a lovely, almost inconsequential, role but for fucks sake do something. Not really sure what their ship team actually does, they released the Confessor and Svipul in a fairly decent time frame from each other but since then they've released a few screenshots and some basic stats of the other two and left it for Fozziesov. Making all ship classes useful is easy to say, and very, very hard to do. It's not like they don't know that would be a good thing.

Ice Fist posted:Having not really followed eve recently I guess I find this interesting? Why are PLEX prices going up/expected to go up so much? What happened? My feeling is that as new people in EVE dry up, there's fewer people selling plex to get a start. Also now that supercaps are worthless people don't plex for one anymore. Both cut down on supply. The isk chasing those plex increases as, again, new players dry up so the people buying tend to be richer.

Jump fatigue, as well as that with fozziesov any damage-dealing capital ship has no role.

What could cause CCP to be in actual trouble with plex is the fact that there's large stockpiles of plex out there. Since those have already been paid for, if there was something that caused people to start redeeming those more than they do now that would lower CCP's actual revenue (while from an accounting standpoint it may not for reasons not worth explaining, from a cash balance standpoint it absolutely lowers their bank balance) and that could cause CCP some serious problems. My guess though is that the sort of death spiral that would kill CCP would lead to most of those being abandoned on dead accounts rather than used.

Ynglaur posted:How would it lower their cash balance? To your point: stockpiles of PLEX are already paid for. I think it's the opposite from what you argue: from an accounting perspective, they may realize the revenue and cost of a subscription upon PLEX activation, even though the cash flow happened at some point in the past. Because an increase in the amount of plex redeemed for subscription time is a decrease in paying actual dollars. The amount of plex that are outstanding would cause a significant hit in subscription revenue if people began burning those instead of paying recurring subscriptions (or, instead of purchasing new plex to sell on the market). From an accounting perspective they can now realize the gain on the earlier plex sale as well so it's a wash. But it's not from a cash-flow perspective: they got extra cash a long time ago, wasted it on DUST, and now have to pay for it.

CCP don't really get that to give us competition you can't make it harder to hold space - you have to make it easier. We can deal with whatever shitshow of a system they throw at us because we have a decade of organization built up that we can throw at that system. Some new organization doesn't, and they just can't deal with it. We're going to be about the same no matter how hard or easy it is, so they have to make it easier on everyone else.

Libluini posted:I always hated this attitude, since it combines fantasy tech of the far future with knowledge of how things work in real life in the 21st century. Which clashes horribly. If we're talking about cloning and the transfer of consciousness using technology from the year 10+k, it's easy to assume this problem has been solved. Like for example, what if the quantum transfer of memories to the empty clone is fast enough to make Mark "jump" to the new clone without dying? In this case, only the body of Mark1 dies, but Mark1 lives on in the body of Mark2, his empty clone. A clone which was specifically prepared for this sort of transfer. The issue is that it's not clear any technology could solve this issue, since from all external indications Mark1 died and Mark2 thinks he's Mark1 is the exact same situation as Mark1 actually now being Mark2. The only person who can "tell" is Mark1 and if they're dead they can't exactly do that.
