Counterhunting doesnt require bait, just a fleet roaming around and using scouts just like any roam.
Gatecamping can occur at entry, at the other end of the gate or even between gates, just need a drag bubble and guns.
You’re severely underestimating the tactics available to players and EVE players in particular can be very creative.
Docking(for whatever reason) means at least you were in space, not undocking at all is tantamount to not even trying.
Wow, this thread is like the Energizer Bunny.
It keeps going… and going… and going…
blops drop on a subcap is over in 1-2 alpha shots. Not even fleet already in warp would land in time to prevent it or catch the starbursting bombers.
Doesn’t change any of the points why it won’t work.
Since you do not know if anyone is coming, any creativity will be wasted and bound to become a snorefest before everyone gets bored and quit.
Agreed, about time.
Docking to avoid CCPs change and not undocking to avoid CCPs change are the same thing.
Wrong, in some systems the distances between gates easily exceeds the 14 AU D-Scan limit and people can easily run a scan inhib which not only creates bait but also hides the gatecamping fleets.
Gatecamps work now, they wont stop working after a blackout either.
D-Scan, Cloaked scouts, combat probes, just watching gates etc. The entire universe doesn’t become invisible when chat stops working smh.
This operation has been a RESOUNDING SUCCESS: The amount of SALT being mined in this thread alone is worth the entire experience. Keep the tasty stuff rolling boys!
I thought the intent was to improve the game, are you implying CCP changed this to piss off their players?
I would not put it past them.
More like to milk more money. If players lose ships and there is no enough minerals prices go up if your budget depends on null activities like ratting and mining (that you cant do anymore without major preparation and even then you are not safe) you need to buy plex for RL money and sell it for isk to buy new stuff. Easy as that.
This is how you cure cancer, good job CCP. Let the salt flow!
This will also mean that HS activities that involve mining, looting and salvaging will net more ISK - higher chance for new player retention. None of them are worth doing right now because of NS overfarming and overproduction.
Yeah, let’s kill the game for some salt of those who leave first.
I’m very much looking forward to the blackout, and not having to scan a new entrance to another wormhole while still getting the ability to ghost around null.
Good job CCP 
Kill the game how? Because CCP are culling the weak? The fat cats will figure out a way to survive, wormholers will come to create content, and they fixed cloaky campers, if you can’t see them you can qq about them, brilliant!!!
Ok, you have a point but if there is rise in mining in high sec there will be rise in CODE. and such activity who will harass them. Newton’s 3rd laws in it finest deffinition.
i’m pretty sure i unsub
ya know in german its writen KOT but the meaning is the same…
This should have been since ever…
GREAT CHANGE.
CCP is going the right direction.
