Forsaken Fortress – Coming 26 May

but you used an IRL example to explain your point? I’m not crying I’m looking for clarification - the mechanics are what CCP say they are, I’m fine with that but to suggest something is abandoned then act otherwise does not feel right with the intent

Good job you are not important enough for me to care what you think. You should at least do a little research before posting your assumptions - again, you make yourself look more stupid

It was just a loose interpretation. And I admit, it’s a big toss from CCP for some players. I learned asset safety the hard way. Players have been given the warning. They have time to act/petition/rage quit/whatever.

Research on what exactly? lol

I’m just telling you that we’ve had to use Wardecs since the mechanic was first introduced. Now all of a sudden you want it convenient for you. You sound like a baby is all. It’s cool though.

Understood. Has the potential to be a large ISK sink which would help CCP so wondering if they will make this change. Time will tell then :slight_smile:

Yeah I get mechanics since playing from 2003, along the journey alot has changed and is changing rapidly. As I wrote above, the definition of the word abandoned suggests more than a timer shift - thus the question. I dont care if I have to WD or not - if an abandoned structure is aggressable without WD in HS then its huge. I dont want this change to make things easy, I want it because its an ISK sink and thats healthy for EVE

Yeah I agree that ISK sinks are good! So the primary thing to think of with your example is how Crimewatch mechanics work. There would be no way to secure the loot for yourself outside of being the quickest. It’s def going to be interesting to see what happens. I personally hope that abandoned structures get fought and contested over and that some “content” can come out of this other than just going afk on an abandoned structure.

Is it jjust me…….another nerf which will be an isk sink and therefore good for CCP$.
BS change, cause lot of Astrahus are used without modules active or fuel needed.
Shitty dev’s, Vuck Joe

I had already thought of this, but didn’t want to say anything. The hunters bumping into each other ought be good!

Yes, it would be a good conflict driver - same as is allowed in many other activities and comes along with the increased risk CCP are talking about

No, a lack of wardecs would not be a conflict driver. Because there would be no real opportunity for you to be engaged. People won’t come flooding from across New Eden to hunt a suspect fleet.
Wardecs however create a real possibility of your target Corp waking up with the notification. Far more than a 15 minute suspect timer ever will.

Can you increase the delay from low power to abandoned to something like 14-18 days? I would like to go on vacation without having to worry about the owner of the structure I am living in forgetting to fuel it or actually abandoning it. Right now, I can go on vacation and not really have to worry. Worse case is asset safety. Now, if I go on vacation and we lose a war and we leave the area abandoning structures, I get royally screwed. My only other options are either don’t use Upwells or every time I want to go on vacation or step away from Eve for a few weeks, to asset safety all my stuff.

But if someone gets a structure that they cannot defend, would that not be good opportunity for content? Would they try? Or would those who come to take it have fun doing so?
Why do we have to all be neatly put in little slots with everything weighed and counted? Does everything have to have 100 little rules and requirements for every little thing until all the soul and fun is sucked out of everything?

How about have it drift into the sun! oO

So for example: if i’m in space how can i see if a station is Abandoned from the OVERVIEW???..at the moment there is nothing that show me the status of a station in the OVEVIEW

OH NOES…

Because it takes more than a couple seconds to find it on grid

Or you can just make sure it has enough fuel for the duration of your vacation…

CCP could make it into a contest with some unique prize.

I recall that took only three months for high sec to clear of interbus POCO. Time to raise the bar?

Now we just need an event to clear out the ten million Mobile Depots being used as billboards all over the place…
