As part of our efforts to fix this issue, I’ve had a couple of intelligent people propose to me that a potential solution would be to reduce the mass of the csm by 100%
Eve has enough pilots in space to allow for the use of a republic form of representation, yet small enough to easily sift out trolls from entering positions of leadership. Reducing the current csm to rubble would allow eve players an opportunity to build a system of representation that Actually represented the varied forms of gameplay throughout the various regions of space. Basically reducing the foul taste left in our mouths every time a csm takes its upon themselves to speak on behalf of their own bad ideas.
This WOULD address my concerns, but I do not want to hear from you(Brisc Rubal) about whether you think this will solve the Real problem.
I see no point on keeping this thread open other than to attrackt trolls, I’d ask ISDs to close it.
Also Brisc, thanks for keeping an open channel, some of us appreciate you taking the time to help out, even if the suggestions were not always in line with what we expected.
You originally said 99% of people. As someone who has done plenty of evictions, in a PVP corp, I know full well how much of a ballache a frig hole spawn is for an eviction and how quickly you want to get rid of it. I also know that it is primarily PvP corps and as a result, PvP people who will care about getting rid of these frig holes.
I take it English isn’t your first language? Maybe you should take a step back and read what has been written before calling someone stupid.
What goalposts? I said 99% of people that roll frig holes are krabs, ergo 1% of people who roll frig holes are not crabs. Is English not your first language? Regardless, evictions are ■■■■ and awful and only acceptable when they make for a good shitpost video.
To be fair to CCP, wormhole-players have been listened to and we have gotten things added to our benefit.
-we got moon-mining (thank Noobman for that one)
-we got changes to the new structures that increased the risks and rewards about them. (No asset safety and shorter timers)
Just out of curiosity, the forums are a great place to complain about everything and people do complain at lot, about:
afk cloaking is mean (the not at the keyboard evil mean person cannot do us harm or something
ganking is mean, stop ganking
wars are mean, don’t kill noobs
the bounty system doesn’t work
faction warfare has frigates with warp-care stabilizers and you are guaranteed that you will have a killmail every time you enter a faction warfare complex
One warp-core stabilizer makes you invulnerable and it must be a guaranteed killmail whenever you undock - preferable without doing anything
the tether mechanic is mean, make jump freighters auto-explode after each cyno jump, so I can always collect the loot and get the killmail I deserve
What people do not complain about:
look on the doll right here, the meany hictor touched me there, give me back my capital / sooper dooper dooper botting tool
Or in other words, in 12 years I haven’t seen any thread in any of the forums complaining about hictors with a mwd on.
Please show us where the 2085720572068957895692697567 complaints are hiding
Instead of nuking the HICs power to roll a wormhole put a flat out speed debuff or change the fitting requirements to you cant slip a 500mn mwd on it. Alternatively you can smash the he’ll out of the stat your worries about and change the ships agility directly rather than making it impossible to roll wormholes with it.
Screwing wormholers again is not a good fix, and making us train into something entirely different doesnt help anyone. Please do not implement this change.
Super dead thread, I know… and huzzah for new modules as of yesterday, btw! YAY! (new script would have been better, but this was the next best thing).
The last time I tried to thread a critical hole in my Devoter, I did exactly that. Forgot to hit F1+2+3+4 before jumping outbound and… yeah, the moment of realization was… epic. But sad. But that’s why we fit cloaks and probes on our HICtors, I suppose!
Soooo many holes between there and HS, too, but my CEO scanned out a different path and the HS systems were only like 7j apart, so at least there was that. Plus, I got to put my mobile depot + travel fit to good use, rip out my higgs rig, etc, so I could align in 4 or 5 seconds each warp instead of 11 or 12 seconds thanks to plates+higgs rig.
And now I also have that story to tell. I’m a real WHer now!
As soon as I read the “A joke is made” line, I knew what the ending to the story was. That is SO epic, thanks for sharing.
Thanks to tripwire, our corp has noticed the same statics coming up every now and again, sometimes a matter of days, sometimes weeks… but never twice in one day, looking forward to seeing that happen at some point, I’m sure it will! But at the same time as someone getting stuck there… heh… one in a million.
But that’s why we fit cloaks and probes on our HICtors, I suppose!
