Don't think you can reasonably blame CCP for a third party program breaking when they introduce a major update. Seems like the onus should be on the third party developers to ensure that their poo poo is compatible with the game rather than the other way around.

Fortunately while my file got erased I found out before I restarted and managed to get a new one, but it wasn't quite right and so I always had to pick which version of windows I was booting (one of the choices did not actually exist) until I got a new computer.

You're right. CCP is entitled to expert third party software developers to update promptly so that third party software is available to fix things CCP breaks.

They genuinely do get quite irritating. I keep bumping into them a whole heck of a lot. Luckily pebble is quite adept at stopping them.

And I should have drones trained by now so I can take Rock back out with no worries!

Also Marble is a great name and in the list of future ship names I have made. :)

So how boned is the CFC super fleet after this patch? Don't really think CCP should intervene but drat, seems like there's no way for any super pilots still in 0.0 to get new mods, refit, or unload overloaded bays without logging into a pretty hostile environment.

Supers in YA0 are probably stuck until we can at least get a foothold back in Dek I'd say. Supers in Saranen will be fine.

No more than they already were, really. If the super could log in safely yesterday it can log in safely today to get new mods, but a lot couldn't log in safely yesterday and can't login safely today.

The only really big problem will be if we can't clear out a safe area before the overloading restriction is relaxed.

About 110% boned.

A few months before this war I tried to buy a Leviathan from Firvain on leeway and he laughed me out of the room for being a poor. In retrospect it was a lucky break for me because the deal broke on interest negotiations. I thought 1% per year was more than fair and he wanted something like 5% per month.

Sure, I agree that right now the incentives aren't there. What CCP plan to do to resolve that issue is beyond me because I don't work on the design team, though they seem to think the incentives right now are fine which I disagree with. I think CCP making Nullsec regions have exclusive assets to farm, like how WHs only get sleeper stuff iirc, would be a good step. Especially if its for the faction capitals they're working on as well as the pirate implants. Make those conquerable nullsec exclusive drops, and that's one way to make people want to fight over the resources/control the land.
Well yes, I agree. But what we see are sov nerfs and disincentives today whilst CCP occasionally mumble vaguely about the possibility of improvements one day in the future, and Fozzie's reported attitude in the recent round table is the sort of thing that puts a big question mark over them ever implementing any of them.

Meanwhile you, me, and everyone else bases from NPC space and opts out of having to deal with that poo poo in the first place.

quote:

I also think catering towards the people who don't want to log in and sit around for hours on end for a 10 minute fight isn't as bad of a thing as people make it out to be. I don't think it's some ~elite pvper~ mentality to want to be able to log into the game, and be able to go out and find PVP rather easily. Prior to the war people in CFC/Imperium were complaining about having to go 20 jumps just to find people to fight, where as in other areas it was less (excluding Drone Regions). I disagree with people like Chessur who think there should be instanced PVP arenas, since that goes against the spirit of EVE but I also think it's absurd that people think its a bad thing for CCP to work on making the players who don't have hours to spend on a singular fleet at a time be able to log in and frag nerds. The stuff Darius' guys are doing now is pretty much what I'm referring to in thinking that CCP should encourage that stuff. They're in a relatively decent area in terms of activity (both PVE & PVP) and they can find fights rather easily. Sure its not a massive battle to end all battles but for a variety of reasons CCP have chosen that those things aren't necessarily what they want to have happening.
People complaining about being unable to find any PvP weren't looking very hard, if they were that keen to get fights they would have taxiceptored themselves to Syndicate or lowsec in 10 minutes rather than spending that time making excuses, and parked a jump clone and a bunch of hulls there for future instant gratification. Easy access to PvP is a good thing but the best way to encourage that is to provide diverse reasons and objectives for a variety of players and groups to want to be out in space where they can shoot each other ("farms and fields", anyone?), and CCP's attempts to implement any such features have ranged from halfarsed, to outright counter-productive, to completely absent.

I hope this person is trolling, nobody can be so unfunny and dumb
people want pvp but they don't want to lose

i imagine there are a lot of hisec dudes who venture out to lowsec in t1 frigs or cruisers and get smacked around within 10min and then never come back

pvp is kinda hard if you don't have people teaching you
