I LIKE COOKIE posted:

what if i care less about having the coolest ship and missiles and just want to specialize in something worth botting or something automatic and repeptative that gives good gains or is sought after or something?. is that legal in this game? and keep it going on my phone while I'm out skating and stuff and treat it more like a phone game than a real game?. with little regard to getting banned because lol eve the spaceship game

I have no clue what that entails and havnt even looked into botting. what do goons think of botting this giant space game that holds the country of Iceland's economy or whatever.

is it punishable in Iceland to bot or do bad things in this game btw? serious question

Apparently you now get charged the full broker's fee whenever you modify a sell order rather than just when you make one. That's gonna be a big new ISK sink if it's intentional.

Then I had to scan for a relic site, but I don't have half a clue what I was doing with the scanning. It took me about 30 minutes to get a scan to go from 34% to 70% and I don't know what I was doing to change things or how to improve it! Also hacking confuses me too!

This video was awesome! I didn't know you could go to the map and change radius things like that. The mission didn't tell me to do it. Unless I totally missed something, and that is very likely. Now I can have fun scanning too!

I'm currently reading all the Local Jita stuff and absolutely everything appears to be a scam of some sort. If you click the contracts then nothing matches up with what is said in chat. It's quite crazy! Some guy is saying I want to sell 6 plexs for 6 million but if you open that contract it says he will give you 6 million for you giving him 6 plexs! So cheeky!

It used to have the best mission agents so people naturally congealed there.

Over time the agents were removed to make room for more players and now it's a trade hub.

quote:

It used to be that gate travel from one race's empire to another would always take you through a system called Yulai. This created a large local population there just from passers-thru. This traffic attracted merchants who set up the best-stocked market in Traquility in the stations there. This market in turn attracted yet more traffic.

This traffic caused server instability as CCP had not yet implemented the changes that now allow Jita to remain stable at such high populations. As a stop-gap measure, CCP changed the routing of the "Supergate Highway" so instead of 1 primary hub ( Yulai ), there would be travel 4 hubs, 1 in each empire. I personally think that CCP had hoped this might create 4 separate and competing market hubs, but this is only conjecture.

As I recall it, there were many wealthy merchants who were not happy simply allowing the architects of the superhighway to dictate their fate. They carefully selected Jita as their new home, and moved their markets there. They chose it for many reasons, and all these years later, it would appear they chose well, as it not only survives, but thrives even today.

So in the end, CCP did force a movement of the existing market hub by routing traffic away from the Yulai, but in the end the players chose to remain consolidated in one system, and players chose the location.
