[Q2] Blocking Warp Core Stabs from FW Acceleration Gates

EVE Technology and Research Center Upcoming Features & Changes

I sure hope you aren’t trolling me again! If not then this is an excellent first step towards helping Low Sec thrive, and something we discussed with Masterplan way back in 2015. The next step is setting Plex timers to continuous, so they re-set when the ship running them leaves the Plex. Those two changes would go a long way towards helping Low Sec.

If it is a troll, then well played. I’m bringing 400 BAN WCS stickers with me to Fanfest and I’ll be sure to stick some on your back when you aren’t looking! lol

cloaks should be left in, or at very least cov ops cloaks. maybe extend the beacon radius to prevent cloaking so close to the warp in beacon? But 100% disallow stabs. Hell, remove them from the game all together.

This is a great step.
Plus it’s after 12 in Iceland when you posted this, even better!
Echo the call to get ventures banned too.
Most farmers won’t want the hassle of changing fits in the plex to get the wcs’, it will also make it more annoying for them to re-enter, to the point where they may actually consider fitting a ship for combat!
Ok maybe that’s a stretch…

You should also disallow anyone with a stab in their cargo hold from entering. Wouldn’t want any sneaky refits happening somehow…

Glad to see you guys have remembered that lil area of space that is LS, can I congratulate CCP in finding its way back…

WCS - restriction/no refits will add the risk back in for all and botter so this is the best +1 you’ve had in years!

Cloak - never seen a botter with a cloak in a plex let alone it be of much service. Further, this would actually be impeding certain styles of gameplay that exist so would remove from the sandbox more than prevent bots and farming. Would also query if you then intended to remove force recon, astero & strat from FW, simply wouldn’t do me old china, we love that stuff!!!

More changes posted for comment plz :wink:

Please don’t touch cloaks. It’s the only way to catch farmers who actually pay attention.

How long until Punishers are replaced with this?

facepalm.

all i could recover from my broken record:

  • stabs/cloaks are not the problem they are a symptom
  • timer rollbacks would actually fix the FW mechanics and not treat symptoms

afk again

Timer rollbacks should be step 2
