He said “as you currently can now” That involves ridiculous bookmarks and doesnt really work. He is ignorant on current live ninja salvaging/mission baiting mechanics. I know you may be surprised but the pve dungeon dev may not know all game mechanics ---

Please, relax. Faction police are a concern if you let them be a concern. Do the ameliorating work to avoid faction police, and you can do the thing. The CSM isn’t responsible for your poor choices. ---

> [@Icarus\_Narcissus](#): > > If such a change is announced, I will fully join in the uproar against them. Until such a time, I understand that the crates are simply a means of delivering multiple items from a single LP store purchase. No they aren’t. It’s well possible (and has been done loads before) to give away multiple things without packaging them in a crate. This is a way to introduce the IDEA of loot crates in an un-assuming way that will not rile people up too early. Later we will get RNG loot crates, that’s just how CCP does business these days. ---

These sites are aimed at content that is accessible to anyone. They will be readily available in high sec systems only and the gates will restrict entry based on standings and max participation. Does that mean you won’t come up with ganking opportunities? I very much doubt that. It does mean though that new players coming out of Inception will have places to go either alone, with other new players or with older players to learn and progress so they feel ready to take on the rest of EVE. This is a more engaging, exciting way to learn aspects of the game than through career agents and it helps to more easily form fleets for activities with newer players. ---

Am I happy that this is limited to HS right off the bat. Yes. But those Pirate structures are currently only in Goon Space in Null. Give CCP time to fix it. My hair might be white and my nuggets might be old and dried up by that time. This is typical CCP for you. SISI = Alpha Release TQ = Beta Release Things will get better! 😏 ---

> [@Amarisen\_Gream](#): > > But those Pirate structures are currently only in Goon Space in Null. Which ones? The FOBs aren’t in at all yet (and aren’t guaranteed to be a scaled-down EC), and the BR EC spawns in all of null blood raider space. We don’t own all of the space where blood raiders spawn. We own one region. I’m sure the inhabitants of, say, Period Basis, for example? would be pretty amused to hear they live in ‘Goon Space’ (and if you’re going to capitalize ‘Space’ there, at the ALT-153, just to go full on Goon Space™. I mean, at least have some _style_, you know? 😉 ) ---

> [@CCP\_Affinity](#): > > Does that mean you won’t come up with ganking opportunities? It’s not just ganking. If a corp can monopolize control of a site, they have a 100% safe place to operate with impunity during a wardec. Content gated behind gates only accessible by standings and that can be monopolized pretty much creates a perfectly safe space. I guess players are vulnerable en route to the gate, but just to be clear this comes very close if not crosses the line where there is no safe space in New Eden. Perhaps you guys want to do that now, but I just want to make that point so we are clear on what you are doing. ---

The goal isn’t to mine the sites out, it’s to fill the haulers to their max capacity 🙂 ---

I’m actually planning on ‘warp in [T1: Venture, above that, Skiff], drop combat drones set to aggressive’ under the same ‘control the adds and achieve the objective’ outlook that pretty much any resource-collection / boss fight uses.
