Version 18.12 - General Feedback

Made additional UI improvements to the Jump Clones tab in the Character Sheet.

And now you just need to make the individual clones collapsible like it was before so that you cannot accidentally jump to the wrong clone because your game decided that you clicked 100px too far below due to lag. And you need to make the name more prominent than the location because the name of the clone is more important than the location. :slight_smile:

@Brisc_Rubal @Mike_Azariah either of you two happen to know why CCP havn’t seeded the skill books for t2 salvage drones or if they plan to seed them down the line?

Nice changes on the context menu.

Love the drone changes. Makes for less trouble for me on missions.
Was wondering if CCP would make the aggression changes apply to the guard/assist function, which they do. So no using dual accounts with drones protecting the other ship.

With all the screams about unsubbing, you’d think that CCP removed ore from high-sec completely. Sorry, but while I don’t like certain mechanics regarding ganking, etc., the AFK stuff needs to stop, and that includes the ratting and other forms of AFK isk farming besides mining. If CCP just turned off your isk faucet with these changes, deal with it or leave.

Multiboxers and afkers aren’t players, all is fine.

works as intended. They wanted to buff this exactly like that.

Thanks for reminding me - I wanted those skins.

@CCP please offer a Real Money option to reenable the drone aggro vs NPCs.

Im really unhappy about the new Drone Behavoir. Unfortunally i spend some money to get more Skillpoints put them in drone Skills and had a good Game Experience. This is over now and i’am really disappointed the Skilltime and the Money ist wasted just from one day to annother.
In a Help Channel someone told me that it will need a week or so and someone will have made a makro bot and this will “solve” this problem. I disagrree! This will solve the Problem for Cheaters. So the normal Omegatime paying Players are the stupid ones and the Cheaters win.

Ending drone assist would be a great thing. Want DPS on a target, make the ship that owns the drones do something with each target to cause that to happen. Only seems fair : )

You are Completely wrong on the isk to plex part. CCP wants everyone to have enough isk to plex their accounts. They make more money off of the players who do so… IF people dont have isk to spend on plex then plex prices drop and the use of plex goes away… Its not like plex is an ingame generated resource. By using plex to keep accounts running multi boxers are putting 33% more cash into ccp pockets than if they jsut paid with a credit card.

Congrats on Dunk getting a piece of EVE named after him.
The years of hard work :wink: and lobbying for T2 salvage drones has finally paid off.
Now if we can only get BRAVE to mass produce them so we can all have a " Dunk in the Trunk"!

CCP has also stated they have a goal of keeping the Isk cost for PLEX at a lower level than it has been.

They are putting no cash into CCP pockets at all, and not just on one account, but on 15.

They spend no cash on EVE at all.

They simply leech off the people who do.

The use of PLEX needs to go away.

It’s a symptom of what’s broken in EVE not the solution.

To do that then there would ahve to be more supply… because if everyones isk income gets cut in half and plex falls to half price its made zero difference.

Okay, using your own numbers, let’s use 50M/h instead of ticks, as that might be a more reasonable number.

Now multiply that by x10 accounts, which the angry multiboxing guy earlier had.

BOOM! You generated 1.5B isk in 3h of AFK ratting!

Now, this logic only serves to pay up for one of his accoutns with PLEX, but who says the guy only has 3h to AFK per day, per month?

If AFK ratting for 6h/day, they can PLEX all their accounts in less than a week, and 6h is still baby numbers when compared to multiboxers who leave their accounts running for half a day, with barely any required inputs, using timers to know when their anoms are supposed to be done.

You say that PLEX still earns CCP income, but what happens to the price of PLEX when one of the whales purchasing all that PLEX leaves the game?

PLEX stops being 1.5B and goes up to 2B, 2.5B, 3B, and so on, unless a new whale comes by and takes their predecessor spot in being a real money fountain.

When I returned to the game a few months ago, the first thing I did was check PLEX price, because if it was anything ludicruous I wouldn’t even bother spending my time in-game trying to earn my sub, and would very likely just stick around as an alpha to play a little bit here and there.

I was suprised to find it at just 1.5B, which was actually cheaper than when I played in 2016~2017 iirc.

It was a bummer knowing that VNI ratting wasn’t a 60M/h easy income anymore, but I did my homework, learned how to dive in the abyss, started skilling two other chars passively just in case abyss was nerfed, and so on.

Now I have 3 reasonably skilled chars which I can switch around according to my mood, so I can AFK mine one day for some passive income, do abyss another day for x3 times my passive mining income, dive in wormholes for a few hours for fun and exploration, and maybe some profits, and etc.

All of this was done simply because I knew it wasn’t a good idea to invest all my eggs into one basket after taking a look at recent patches.

All the anger here is mostly from multiboxers who got too used to farming ridiculous amounts money AFK, and are mad that now they require some reasonable effort to farm the same ridiculous amounts of money.

Can’t hold any sympathy for that.

There are masses of PLEX on the market, more now than back when it cost 300m for the equivalent of the 500 needed now.

Dear player

WE have accepted your request and you may now rest comfortably knowing that a Titan, in your name, is flying happily in Jovian space playing the game for you. Sadly, tariffs and trade laws prohibit any proceeds from the Titans efforts from coming back to you buy you may rest, content in the knowledge that you are having fun, somewhere else.

Your Titan is doing well and it giggles when it pops a station or rat in such a cute way . . . I wish you could see and hear it. But remember, if you ever unsub the Titans fuel will be removed and it will be left to drift, cold, alone, in the depths of space between the stars. Only your continued contributions can save this poor thing.

Choose wisely and with your heart, this holiday season
