you can drag tougher enemies into FACTION WARFARE space where you can force them to ship down by only taking low level sites
this is one of the most enjoyable ways to play the game imo
Why this ■■■■■■■ timer mechanic at all? Why just not let the shield/hull be there open to attacks like in any other game/ sci fi stuff?
Because people have real lives away from the game?
A lot of games recognise this and have some kind of timer mechanic to allow players to actually be present to defend.
Also because it slows down a large group trying to steamroll everyone else.
Still a shitty mechanic. There are other ways to prevent that
Ok, let’s see these other ways that can’t be abused then.
Any mechanics can be abused. Ones just sucks more than others. And I didn’t mentioned abuse of rules, just said one mechanic that sucks. Y hit a station and it magically gains a super shield powered from nowhere capable of sustain damage from a gazillion cap ships( aka invulnerable). I would say the shield/ structure could gain a temporary boost in resistance if owner uses massive amount of fuel. See? Much better than a magic invnerability field. Also it need to be activated , Wich would solve the large amount of abandoned structures issue specially in hisec.
And the owner must be online when it is attacked which means it fails to solve the issue of people not being online 24/7, which means it fails at the job we are talking about.
So… so far you’ve got nothing that replaces timers.
Well if you can’t have someone online at least few min in a given day then just don’t deploy structures.
Why yes…
It’s totally reasonable to expect all groups to have 24/7/365 coverage of every structure they own… Heavens forbid that you actually have a life.
Oh, and this would also just make volleying structures with titans a thing since you also don’t want damage caps. And that it way they don’t get a chance to raise resists since it’s dead before they react.
Basically no, your idea is a joke and utterly fails to address the whole point. So, we have timers for exactly this reason. Because the alternatives people present are either bad or go directly against the whole point of timers.
Actually no. A corp needs planning, a bit tz coverage at least for basic and essential stuff. It is a game, rl comes first. If you or your corp can’t defend your assets, then just rent /use someone else structures. My last corp was doing fine, but rl came first, I could not be CEO efficiently anymore, and to worse things out, we got hunted by our own allies . Did I create a thread to CCP asking to change mechanics? No. Instead I resign my corp , moved to null, for a more relaxed playstyle and bring some friends from Corp with me. Rl comes first but you must adapt to the game , not the game to you
