Are you serious? and we see what jita is now !!! 4Millions for one plex! (just for exemple) one friend go in ā€œgoon corpā€ and stop the game for" vomit all iskies "he done with his nyx!
Some players pay houses irl with their mining afk!

Whiny trash players will unsub, vets will resub. In the end both the community and the game will be far better off.

Calm down miner.

For only 10 mil, you can regain your safety guarantee in another area of space.

Something big is coming.
The mega coalitions will not stand still having their sovereignty built for years being threatened on behalf of HS adventurous beginners.

yes it’s good we play looks like ten years and it’s good for all !

It’s terrible, Eve opening the door to new players to be able to do something besides highsec pve.

Wait, maybe that’s the idea… to make it to where you don’t have to register you api on 4 forums and 3 external api tools just to play in null… in a system 20 jumps from an enemy.

Maybe they feel like some strife is good for us… and new players should be able to penetrate the net without older players just kicking them out.

I see a new rise in piracy… first non-nerf piracy has seen in nearly a decade.

that sound like an interesting experiment
it can go good or it can just crash and burn

lets just hope CCP is doing the right decision at the end

Think of it as a performance boosting move!

Now the servers won’t have to track all those names, lagging out your big battles!

Ok I m really NOT STUCK on two ideas even, so here is a a third idea:

CITADEL based local

If you have a citadel anchored - you may equip it with a deep space scanner module.
Everyone in the alliance owning this citadel receives local info every time this module is activated,
As an UPGRADE for this module - allow a (strontium consuming) boost that temporarily renders cloak ineffective for - say - a minute. After that minute anyone may RE-cloak again.
Great for fighting off those AFK cloaky campers that scare your miners.

you dont like this idea ?

Check out my other two:

MAKE IT TRULY DELAYED and not WH like

100 seconds without any Activity Defense Multiplier
10 seconds with the the highest value the ADM can reach
Everyone will be much happier and alliances will have to utilize the space they live in or risk getting back stabbed and surprised

Joint venture intel on local

Since local is a product coming out of the intel shared - make it update for those who are in a fleet and in the same system together more quickly.
Allow some obscure anchored devices or even one of those new structures (cyno jammer, jumpgate etc) to link on to,
Team effort allowing shared intel and thus local updating (only) for those who team up

well, thats all 4 of my accounts unsubbed, with rorquals having panic mode and supercaps having tanks to survive roaming gangs the only people this is going to hurt are newer and smaller players

Just unsubbed two accounts.

If I wanted delayed local I’d move to a wormhole. Smashing Dscan every 5 seconds from now until the end of time is not my idea of fun. Hoping this is only an ā€œeventā€ thing but voting with my feet in case it isn’t. Threatening their income is the only way to get through to these nerds. Not sure why we even bother having a CSM.

All you dudes laughing at the people leaving… it’s funny if a couple leave. Even a couple hundred. But if too many leave then it won’t be so funny any more.

Nah, better with no local.

Makes you take a gun with you when you go to the store.

Maybe work together even (crazy, I know).

Last time I ratted in null, nobody talked in my system, Corp, or alliance for hours. It was mind numbing.

Course, maybe everyone else was botting… IDK.

This will make you play.

In null-sec d-scan it’s the game …if you are not d-scan everytimes so stay in high-sec in a "golem"for lvl 4 missions.

So much strategy, such a deep gameplay, where you will find better ?

I’m a bit ambivalent about this, I like going into J-Space for this reason, but I don’t think I’d like it all the time (I live in null). We try to protect our space from red activities, how are we going to do this if we don’t know reds are there? But then again, it’d make it easier to operate within their space. I will reserve final judgement until I’ve played with these blackouts for a bit, but I suspect I’m not going to like it, and will def play less or move back to high sec if I don’t.

love the way u guys don’t even realise him subbing via plex makes CCP more income, more income is better for u, etc, but w/e o7

Just put a scout on the gates. It’s not that hard, Praise bob!
