A Small Action to Change a Lot

Are you telling me how to play my game?

If I am prepared to fund 20 insured freighters using these cans going through the choke points and all of them insured and empty for the joy of wetting myself with laughter each time they get ganked and they wasted all those ships on them.

You do not get Eve…

Make scanning cargo/fit a suspect offense in HS.
Make Data/Relic cans un-scannable.

Nonsense. You already have ways to avoid being ganked and which don’t cost you 20 freighters. Gankers would only remember your name and simply prey on somebody else, because they’re after the inexperienced players. They already let those pass who play smart.

Well that is called conditioning isn’t it? There is a value in it.

You see I have often done this sort of thing to get kills.

Oh please. Just tell me again how I don’t get EVE. That at least was mildly insulting. Now you’re only asking me to rub your tummy and I’m not going to touch that.

I am asking you to rub your own tummy. And it was a valid question, asking if you get Eve or not.

Now this question where you sort of got to the whole point and then ran away screaming with that lame retort.

You see conditioning people is all part of this game. And you sort of got there with your reply, then realized why I said it.

As I said it is an excellent idea and sets up counter play. So if you do not have an intelligent answer, you should keep it buttoned.

PS You look very good with the pants on your head.

Remember Salvos, I only reply in kind.

Rather than continue it was this line:

Because he could not understand the play that could go on around it he resorted to an insult.

I meant both of you.
Its leading nowhere and very tedious reading.
Nobody cares who started it, just that it ends.

Points go to the one of you that next posts ontopic.

That I can do, but I’m not touching anything else.

I think it is a bit of a step too far imo.

Maybe make it chance based? Each cargo scan you have an ‘X’ % chance of becoming suspect.

Well just a random idea but thought I drop it in for discussion.

I just feel a guaranteed suspect flag for each scan is too much even if it is obvious scanner alts will just use corvettes only fitted with a cargo scanner or some such measure to reduce risk / losses.

Nobody cares for your bleeding heart. Drac and I have a good conversation. If you insist on impersonating a mod then I suggest you apply for the role of an ISD and stop posting off-topic yourself. Use the flagging system. I have now flagged you.

It’s an analogy, mate.

It only seems smart, like wearing underpants on the head to look funny, but you’re really just a guy with underpants on your head who tries to look funny.

I was talking about myself.

RNG is usually a bad idea.

Please stop this crap.
Nobody wants to read this.

I want to read it and I want Drac to read it so he doesn’t feel insulted.

You are over-stepping it now.

In which case it went way over my head :frowning:

I have seen you post in a couple of other threads, I think I liked a couple of your posts, you post intelligently and put thought into them, so I was kinda surprised by that.

I like the idea of the cans very much it seems to work well with BR’s, but I would not make a cargo scanner or ship scanner go suspect.

I wish this forum had private messaging enabled. CCP I’m looking at you! :stuck_out_tongue:

So far I have not seen a valid reason why this scanner should be changed at all. They have various uses, piracy is the just the obvious one but also a very valid one.

It’s not like this will stop Freighters from getting exploded. The only thing that will change is that it mixes the smart people who don’t overload their Freighter in with the guy who just stuffs 20bil into one run.

Obviously the only motivation Drac has to play the cheerleader for this change is because of his white knight desire to ■■■■ on the pirates via fiat-CCP because he can’t do anything about it in-game. He thinks this will lower the income because they can’t pick the valuable targets which will probably be right.
