Upcoming Changes to Drone Aggression

But that is what I mean the current state of nullsec is in a bad spot where it is a necessity to earn crap tons of isk, CCP can’t just stop with this change they will need to change core mechanics of null otherwise gg.

Wow was it really that high wtf

Problem of this graph => it count evry part of space and every kind of player.
Now look at 0.0 , and more specially 0.0 farmer. You will see the hit.

  1. Titan Character
    2.-5 Super Character + Many alliance require 2-3 capital alts per super as well
    6+7. Jump Freighter Character
    8+9. 2x Cyno Alts
    10+11. 2xSubcap Combat chars

CCP has for many years encouraged people to train up alts which can help them play the game… Multi character training…whether it is a small mining crew or a supercap player with support chars. It’s advertised often !

So, basically, after 10 years of encouraging creating alts for various specific purposes, these current changes now move in a direction where CCP intend people to play the game on fewer characters. That’s fine… and that IS what will happen… subscriptions will disappear…

While paying their subs and keeping the game afloat.

As if your activities are higher effort.

I gotta make a meme about imaginary chad nullbear vs actual virgin nullbear. Because apparently my Ishtars which were getting 14-16mil ticks (before corp tax) are raking in billions and create ISK inflation when I buy my pvp ships with it.

Maybe not lose at all? Not an option?

I had no idea that much was needed which is kinda crazy.

Yea I see 2 or 3 to be much more normal after this.

Why don’t you guys just rework the entire done section of EVE like you did for Carriers and Supers. We all know you want to redo drones.

Much better for CCP to lose 6 accounts that were multiboxed than 6 actual players.

Nah, that’s more or less the same as far as they’re concerned.

Good change. Please bring back the AT with AT ship prizes next. Thanks team!

That wont be how it goes.
Instead there will be a stealth bomber tackling and opening a cyno, then 20 more bombers jump in. Nuke the ratter and ■■■■ off before any reinforcement is even ready to undock.
The ratter will most likely not survive a single minute.

Tedium doesn’t do much for engaging gameplay guys. This is just tedium being added.

AT ship design takes way too much dev time that gets used by way to small a % of players, AT yea sure but better for them to bring the same AT ship’s that exist in game already as rewards.

that’s why i said holding a ratter, there are hunters out there that just want ratter kills and there are PvPers out there like me that don’t care about a single killmail but prefer a fight to start

Well congrats. Bot will only require some adjustments. Meanwhile semi afk players will never run those boring site just to run them because it is boring as hell.
CPP tries to reduce isk income which is OK and makes perfect sense. But you are trying to achieve that buy nerfing stuff instead of trying to increase danger for those who create that easy isk in nullsec. All you have to do is make an easier life of hunters and will will control that isk flow by killing them!!! Players can get it perfectly balanced by themselves.
But instead you take content away from both PVE and PVP players!!! There is literally almost nothing in space left to kill and there will be even less. As a active hunter for years now all I see is content being gone. You have to spend hours to find something to kill and create content for corpies.
Again, instead of nerfing PVE you should buff opportunities for pvp. Like a delayed local for instance…

Hi small guy alliance checking in! No renters here :slight_smile:

I’m okay with ishtar ratting and gila ratting to become less viable. Killing a gila or ishtar is so painfully not exciting/satisfying/fun/etc. I’d prefer people pick active forms of ratting like smartbombing or capital ratting tbh, which btw the measurement was often “Why carrier rat when i can run 3-4 ishtars afk?”

Less targets is less opportunity, regardless if its an AFK ratter or not. People that AFK rat are not actually afk, just not paying attention to that particular client at the time - since it seems we need to clarify that.

Killing an afk ratter is not content thou, better to catch an active player where he brings in friends. Or at the very least yells “HELP!” in local

Also, RIP Ishtar as PVE ship and some other drone ships.

Oh look, a change that doesn’t actually affect bots and instead harms real players.
Bravo CCP.
What’s the next thing you intend to remove that makes your game more taxing to play for no greater amount of fun or gain?

And for the ignorant shills attempting to deflect this change: It actually doesn’t hurt bots in the slightest. People complaining are actual people who afk rat and tend to die to hunters. Bots don’t die to hunters. Please cease your ignorant rambling post haste you fragile snowflakes.

Why do you reckon they tend to die to hunters?
