Because mining drones already don’t have an aggressive mode?
Then you are attentive and this shouldnt have any impact on you.
CCP is letting EVE die out at their own hands through their own stupid decisions and this is one of them
There’s nothing like a good constructive post…
Oops sorry, meant to say “This is nothing like a good constructive post”.

Dude it is exactly the same with AFK cloakers. Catching prey with low effort, lowering strategic indexes of the enemy without actively playing, and relying in the filthy multiboxing to use their AFK cloakcamping alts while playing with their mains.
I hope CCP effectively remove every form of AFK gameplay.

This is in fact a good constructive post. Its telling CCP how stupid some of their decisions are. Better to say the facts straight rather than bending and twisting posts to look cool or intuitive

So basically, its F F F F F F after targetting manually everything?

Correct. First you lock the NPC, then you activate your weapon system.

Personally I just smack F on target changes automatically when I’m PVEing as I’m only usually doing it on one account at a time. The only folks I really see this change impacting are those who run multiple sites at one time which will require a bit more micro management.
I literally only reactivated my accounts for the WorldWarBee and beside maybe Abyss will never really touch any PvE content again in EVE if I am not outright quitting again after the War.
So it eliminates afk Play which CCP seems to want to remove from the game so I really hope they follow up with it on the most heated discussion that is the Cloaky AFK Camper Problem discussed elsewhere.

Good change, auto rat was always a bad thing.
yes
this is not a problem.
low attention / afk krabbing generates isk in the eve economy. making it too easy to krab leads to bloat in the game and an unhealthy ecosystem. sitting cloaked and taking a break from the game does not create anything in the ecosystem, so it’s fine.

While it’s off topic here, what gameplay exactly is a cloaky player engaged in while afk? They are literally sitting in space doing nothing achieving nothing personally.
Local chat logs I guess? But that only logs if someone says something.
Other peoples reactions to a neutral in system are not the afk persons responsibility.
By the logic one might assume that you would be fine if it were removed, then? Since they do nothing then they will not complain if they cannot do nothing anymore.

The same can be said about smartbomb campers.

yes thats easy right, now try it with 4-5 account
About as fine as I would be if you removed the ability to stay logged in while docked.
I mean, I wouldn’t consider being docked and afk any kind of gameplay either, but it serves the same purpose of being able to walk away from the game safely (For a given value of safely)
Not to mention I know no meaningful way to affect AFK players which wouldn’t seriously impact active players using a cloak for other purposes.
Anyway, as mentioned above, we have wandered off topic, so I won’t continue this topic in this thread.

I’d like to hint that with 4-5 characters, you’re way better off with a discharge coil smartbomb mach and a set of edencom battleships, but I guess playing the game is not to your liking.
Adapt. Or don’t. Can I have your stuff.
CCP is addressing the low-attention / ezmode krabbing that people like you have relied upon to print easy isk. so good riddance to that nonsense.
