Its stupid, annoying, and serves no purpose but to screw people that dont want anything to do with an alliance. BOT killing also, but i prefer to kill those tards on my own. Cant even mine in a belt…to make ships to replace the ships this crap idea blows up. Im not undocking a carrier to have a chance at killin them. They should not be insta kill on the ships we have and provide a fighting chance. No a fighting chance it not a carrier. Thats jsut wanting to get dropped on a station by the blue donut. So yay for them but screw everyone else. ---

The good thing is that FOB is being expanded soon for a more immersive gameplay experience. FOB rats will engage ice belts if in system, player deadspace mission pockets, and any other spawn/scanned section of space. In addition if there are more than one person in any of those areas the FOB rats will spawn an appropriate additional amount to compensate for player engagement. There is some really good enhancements going on these days. Love it. ---

Like, the ONLY thing keeping this game from becoming your personal litterbox? I don’t think so. Without CONCORD they would have to make all gates and stations simply refuse -10s. But that might be a good trade now that I think about it. You want to go there? ---

Looking at the NPC billboards, it appears that their targeting of capsules is somewhat or sometimes delayed; several instances that a ship’s corresponding capsule was destroyed up to 2 minutes later (although there are cases of both being destroyed in the same minute). However, the ratio of ship destruction to pod destruction is so high that I suspect many of the pod kills are from afk,AP, or bot errors. While I am sure that people have lost their pods despite being vigilant, it appears that there is some sort of reduction in aggression when targeting pods. ---
