Well sooper doopers were never designed to bot-farm bazllions in pve. The candy-store like production of them made some folks think they should be the goto pve boat.

Maybe the “production cost” should be significantly increased to the scale of that palpatine keepstar, so that losing one really hurts more than an infinite wallet.

In the same way a Vexor Navy Issue could be dealt with, by having them NPCs react properly to the threat they are facing and warp in a few recons that would web the Vexor down, dampen and whatnot. Everything they must, so the time one must spend in an anomaly is the same for everyone.
Anomaly farming is supposed to be dangerous and not a yolo-infinite-isk making afk activity.

I don’t either but I can sit in three of them. They are not that special. They are super slow, huge and very boring IWIN coffins.

But I like hunting them and your suggestions would remove their incentive to use them.

Not entirely. The idea is to keep them busy for the same amount of time and everyone is treated equally.
What was the saying, diminishing returns.

One is not required to purple fit a battleship to shoot down NPCs but it doesn’t stop you from doing it if you want.
If the carebears in null don’t want to work for their money, they do not deserve any.

No, you are suggesting to remove carriers from PVE.
Then what ? remove dreads from PVE ?
Then what ? remove rewards from missions in HS ?
Then what ? remove bounties from rats ?

PVE requires several rules. One of them is : if you invest more money, you must have better rewards.

You really seem like you have no idea about what you are talking. a VNI is good because it can run the sites AFK, it’s very cheap, very safe, and even hunters may have issues getting it down.
It’s one of the best isk/h/initial_cost. A carrier requires much more APM, is a bigger loss, requires more investment. And it should get as much isk as a VNI ? WTF is wrong with you ? Why are you so butthurt by raters ?

No I do not, I am saying that capitals need to as careful as sub-capital ships and they should not insta-win high level pve 24 hours a day without risk.

Putting highsec miners at absymal risk in highsec is no biggy but bot-farmer must not be harmed or what?

yes you did.

You want carriers to have same reward as VNI AND more threat. This would make carriers useless in PVE. This is nonsense.

No, I want infinite-isk farming removed.

There are too many capitals out there anyways. The default response to a frigate, is bring carrier, dreddh, sooper dooper or titan.
The amount of untalented pilots in EVE is mind-blowing.

What you want and what you ask for are two different things then. You literally asked to set the carriers on the same level of reward as a VNI.
Listen carefully : THAT WOULD RENDER PVE CARRIER USELESS. so what you are asking for is effectiveley to render PVE carriers useless.

AND THEN carrier farming is FINITE as people have FINITE amount of time to use to farm.
If you want to bring a point, use adequate values, not hyperbole. Otherwise you just show you are not able to make a clear point, and thus are not worth the attention.
There is nothing such as “infinite isk” farming in Eve, that I know of.

Right, there is a 5-15 minute brake in between and as soon as someone enters the system they warp away and warp back 15 minutes later and continue to produce trillions.

everything that farms for enough time ends up producing trillions. A Vni afk orbiting his rock haven just makes it 4 times slower - and has a much lower cost - than a carrier, thus if you have 4 toons you can use 4 VNIs at the same time.
