Upcoming Changes to Drone Aggression

How did you all not see this coming. In a recent interview it was obvious CCP was looking down on low twitch gameplay.

I saw my money wasn’t wanted and ended my subs awhile ago.

Its a sandbox but you have to play as we suggest…

soooooo
why cant you guys f1 like everybody else?

edit:

Because the princess you’re looking for is in the other eve client.

What part of “I hate multiboxing” was unclear?

Then maybe you should take the hint and buy a subscription like a normal person. The obsession with farming just to have the privilege of continuing to farm is the best way to ruin your experience in EVE.

Then maybe you should take the hint and play with a single account. The tears of multibox farmers here are delicious.

Not if they are on a separate VM they are not

lol what?

It will definitely solve the problem that there is still someone playing EVE.

So… 15 * 30 = 450 hours.
You earn,… 5 mil isk/hour?
Get better at earning isk. You can earn that much doing Project Discovery without even undocking.

As in you paid actual money for ED?

Imagine spending 450 hours a month just to have the privilege of doing it again next month.

More imagine being that bad at earning isk, I mean I’m lazy & don’t really play outside of HS atm (ok not lazy but I struggle to do grind type activities), but I can turn 50/hour if I want to without taking on high risk activities.
Would still be 45 hours a week (roughly) at that rate so I sub of course.

Can i have your stuff?

Be nice and ask they to make modelisation of nerf BEFORE send one.
It will avoid to eveyronne issue.
You want other issue they haven’t see and not link to salvage drone ?

-Are they sure they will not bring back the old agro bug on MTU (i shoot you’re mtu, you’re drone engage me in HS, agressive or not).
-Did they really think it’s moment to nerf pve after all recent nerf?
-Did they realise it’s an actual nerf for ACTIVE player (for exemple sentry often targt before you end target in pve activity, or when you do some site and frigate suddenly appear, if you are in BS, you’re light drone react a lot more faster than you). So to compensate how they want increase drone ? But increase drone power means increase in pvp … so maybe they will reduce all anom/DED/mission/SITE/etc ? (No i just think they haven’t think to that).

These changes make auto-targeting missiles more valuable, T2 versions when?

Other ships have always been viable but they’re not efficient

What do you think eve is known for? High Sec Ganking? Solo PvP? Factional Warefare? Abyssal? Trigs? Do you see mainstream news articles when you manage to rob 2Mil from an ESS? No. None of those are why people hear about this game and think “Oh hell yeah, that game sounds amazing”, The news run stories and players come here because of Massive World Record breaking fleet battles, where Millions of RL $ worth of Ships are lost, multiple Trillions of ISK, in a single evening over a few thousand beers.

But sure, Lets applaud CCP for closing off the things that actually allows those fleet battles to happen, They destroyed Null Sec Mining, They have all but destroyed Null sec Ratting, and now they are making Null sec ratting even harder for non botters, not to mention the stealth nerf to miners who use the Auto Aggress from drones to defend themselves. Without these ISK Faucet’s as you mention, none of these fleet battles can happen. If the ISK faucet ratio for HS:LS:Null is too high, nerfing Null Isn’t the solution, increase the Faucets in other places. Not only does that have the SAME EFFECT on the economy, it actually makes people who do that content HAPPY instead of disappointed, and if they buff it too much people will migrate to that instead of ratting in Null. Mining shouldn’t have been refactored around reducing asteroids, they should have refactored the Mineral requirements for Building things. Want more dependency on Low Sec? Increase the Noxium requirements for building beyond what HS can supply. Or add a New mineral entirely, with a new 3 set of asteroids entirely, and seed them in Lowsec Exclusively.

Point is, The ISK Faucet in NS is the only reason Null Alliances can afford to fight and lose trillions of isk and then claim it’s “already replaced” if we can’t replace them, we won’t risk as much. And there goes CCP getting free Advertising in the news, and as a result, reduced people joining the game.

News-worthy events happened in EVE for a long time before the ISK faucets reached their recent peak. Please don’t engage in revisionist history to defend your farming demands.

Thank you for explaining why the ISK faucets must die. Nobody cares about fake $$$$$$$ numbers when everyone involved says “don’t care, already replaced it”. It’s meaningless noise, and eventually it doesn’t even get any attention.

I can dig this change. Does this affect salvage drones as well?
