Even if no rule is being broken, there still ought to be some means of, for example, blocking external or specific text in chat. Given that the system is already capable of recognising specific text ( such as where it highlights a name referenced ) that means the main element of coding to do this already exists. I’ve coded similar myself…it is one line of code…essentially 'if string contains ‘xyz’ then null ’ . ---

This isn’t friggin rocket science. 1. Limit Jita/Amarr/Dodixie/Rens/Hek local to 1 message every X minutes. 2. Limit alpha accounts to 1 message every X minutes. 3. Limit NPC corp channel messages to 1 message every X minutes. ---

> [@Perennial\_Millennial](#): > > Limit alpha accounts to 1 message every X minutes Just in local, or in all channels? I don’t think that is a good fix, because if there is a brand new player that is trying to get help, but can only post one message every X minutes, that would really limit them and slow down the process of getting help with something they might need right away. And not everyone can/has a need to get omega, and I am pretty sure no one wants to pay $20 a month(or whatever the current sub price is) to be able to message more often in chat ---

I’m talking about one of the the career missions that tells newbies to **mine Tritanium** which confuses the hell out of them. That has been around for _years_ regardless of Mike trying/asking/begging CCP multiple times to alter it. It’s literally just changing a word, takes 3 minutes. ---

I know you are writing about EVE Online 🙂 I just wanted to make a pun joke on how widespread Tritanium/Veldspar confusion might be among CCP staff 🙂 Perhaps it is not just a text in mission description but generated text basrd on some complex object structure deserialized from a database and somwhere deep down somebody confused tritanium id for veldspar id and hence generated text is getting resource name for wrong id. And to fix the mission description you must first fix that wrong id somwhere in the serialized object sitting in some dark dusty place everyone is afraid to visit… just thinking aloud… 🤔 ---

I figure the noobs who survive in Eve are the ones who just look on the market and _buy_ the Tritanium. The mission does say it doesn’t care ‘how’ you get the item. ---

> [@Altara\_Zemara](#): > > I figure the noobs who survive in Eve are the ones who just look on the market and _buy_ the Tritanium. The mission does say it doesn’t care ‘how’ you get the item. Doesn’t that mission still make you go to the mission location in order to complete it? Maybe I’m thinking of one of the other mining missions. Regardless, the career missions are bad, and they need to be redone. At least half of them are useless at teaching the game, since they’re effectively just regular L1 missions, and some of them used to even teach incorrect information (such as webbing an npc near a concord npc would get you killed by concord.) The best of the lot are the scanning missions, and they still need some help. > [@Perennial\_Millennial](#): > > This isn’t friggin rocket science. > > 1.

This is a terrible idea. Rookie NPC corps used to be a great way for new players to learn the game. So instead of killing it with spam, you’re suggesting it should be killed with spam… and preventing preventing the people who should be talking in those channels, from making use of them. Good job. ---

Regardless, the career missions are bad, and they need to be redone. As I recall it ( 2 years ago now ), there’s a mission where you have to convert Veldspar into Tritanium and provide 10,000 units or something. That’s the one where I just bought the Tritanium. Felt a bit like Captain Kirk cheating on the Kobayashi Maru test. To be honest, I’ve never really been impressed with any NPC stuff. Most NPCs such as belt rats only really cause issues because they have more DPS collectively than noobs. They are otherwise pretty dumb. …which is why I prefer PvP. I recall struggling with the belt rats in 0.4 systems when I was a noob in my 25 DPS Condor. These days my 700 DPS pulse laser ships can wipe out every belt rat in a couple of seconds…and the only reason I do NPC stuff is to gain security points. ---
