Only fact that i sense with this change is the increased threat of cov ops ships. If im not wrong no counter mechanic will be added against this feature (at least none specific one). Almost true invisibility. ---

No, it’s not increased threat. They were always the same threat. What decreased is risk for covops ships. They are now much much safer. That’s why all the risk-averse chickens are resubbing, it’s no risk kills - the true “pvp” of eve. ---

If you’re ever part of a max CTA in a null block one side nearly always stands down because they are outnumbered. If they can’t see what the opposition has either no one is ever going to do anything (which would create a stale game and everyone would quit) or engagements will happen more often… ---

> [@CoRrUpTiGe](#): > > Sorry goon scum, you’re now on the block to be “chopped” Sadly goons have supercap umbrella, which is their main safety mechanic, meaning they are the least affected. It’s all the nullsec without umbrella which gets its last defense removed. pve was always a risk, especially with big ships, what this changes is removing all the risk from ganking, that’s why they are subbing - because they have no interest in pvp, only free killboard padding. ---

> [@Morten\_Balle\_Petersen](#): > > Sad to see so many people leave the game because of this… I get that solo guys think its fun to not be seen before they start shooting stuff. But it might be a bit boring to go around nullsec to see all systems empty except a few that are filled with people. That will for sure be how the bigger alliances will defend members… So what your saying is that lots of pvpers will be flying around… but they wont see anyone because they wont be there… which is it, people will be flying around or wont? you literally cant have it both ways. ---

It wouldn’t have come to this if CCP wouldnt have nerfed supers to hell and back. The idea that “beeeg, scary things”(solo pwn-mobiles was what the panty sniffing crew call them as they argued for nerf after nerf) operated by a lone assassin if you will are actually GOOD for eve was never understood. Now instead of having ONE of me here or there, every system could contain a shark. GG HF… ---

> [@Lugburz](#): > > So what your saying is that lots of pvpers will be flying around… but they wont see anyone because they wont be there… > which is it, people will be flying around or wont? you literally cant have it both ways. They are not pvpers - if they subbed only when it became safe to gank, they are just more risk-averse than krabs ever were. They are zero content to each other, because of being risk-averse, they will not engage unless it’s 100% safe to do, like engaging a krab forced into pve ship to be able to do pve. That’s why there will be people flying around looking for krabs, but the only chance they ever meet is by accidentally dropping on the same bear at the same time, thinking the other side is the response, and running away in fear from “response” like they usually do. ---

Great! Just keep it permanent (One of the major tactical elements in space combat is the inabillity to see opponents until they are in sensor range) Also CCPlease add nebulas in which one can hide fleets and stuff. ---

I love the “I’m gonna unsub crowd”. Do you really think that hasn’t been calculated? “you don’t know what you’re doing” They’ve created a game where thousands upon thousands of people have poured countless hours of their lives and imaginations. I don’t know where this is going but the ride has been fun so far. I pity your small minds and short sight. Get out of your rut and adapt.
