With the next Expansion coming soon brings with it various changes to afk automation material generation brings another type of gameplay while still maintaining a pve pilot status.
To become a pve known pilot requires focus on pve related content and by just being able to automate material generation I feel should have its own Eve Online handle that could be referred to here on the forums or in game.
Why should we allow a pilot who just logs n to update their automated moon mining be considered a part pve pilot when we know there are active pve pilots running content or physically mining ore.
The pve label should come with honour of actual undocking in new Eden and for the many future pilots who will be just performing basic updates on their automation show be labeled differently than a normal pve pilot.
What would you suggest? Or do you think that automatic material gathers still be labeled as a pve pilot?
Pilots who wish to do PvE through automated resource extraction will have to succeed in PvP in order to defend the structures until succesful extraction. By doing so, these pilots therefore lose the āpve pilotā stigma.
It was the same when we had the moon mining POS towers tbh, even if you had a lower R level moon youd only keep it as long as noone wanted to burn it down it was something you always knew about and it was always as long you and your corp, alliance or coalition held that space. Itll be nothing new its just a new iteration of that.
If you didnt defend it youd lose it flat out and if it was an R64 you defended it with a ādeathstarā setup, now itll be less of the POS and more a defense fleet so its working as intended imo.
Literally nothings changed so quite griping about it and learn to adapt, or better yet go kick over someones sandcastle that will adapt and use the new system for their own gain.
What did I state? That EVE is āPvP onlyā? Where did I state that?
I said that people who do PvE may also have to deal with PvP. EVE isnāt EVE without PvP. But neither would EVE be EVE if it were āPvP onlyā. EVE is a universe where PvP is possible everywhere, but not always the main goal of every player.
I would say anyone that puts down an automated miner would be classified as a pvp pilot as 100% chance that thing gets attacked 24 7 and if they donāt defend it they loose everything.
Yeah, I remember those setupās, even saw one that resembled Star Trekās āDeep Space 9ā station. Unfortunately canāt find a screenshot of it. However I do have a screenshot of this oneā¦
So in summary nothing to see here because itās exactly the same kinda deal as old datacore research and PI and exactly the same gameplay as has already been in Eve for literal decades?
Thatās actually a good way of looking at things as the other day I had been thinking of unlocking the various career program progress bar to obtain those free skill points.
