Version 21.05 - General Feedback

:wave: Love the changes.

Minor annoyance: a sound bug when docking in a Corvette, the noise it does in space carries over into the station and mix with station noises. Doesn’t do it with other ships.

Among all the other things being horrible with “opportunities”, the mission window does not specify what faction you go against anymore - even if you open the mission info via /open journal. So which “Smuggler Intervention” am i going to fly again? Blood Raiders? Serpentis? Guristas?

Please, please, revert this crap UI back to the usable one we had in the past. “Opportunities” is an utter fail in every aspect.

Oh dear. Which idiot suddenly decided that a player must be forced to fit a weapon to their Venture to be allowed to warp to the mining site in the Producer career fourth mission? Even the newest player quickly realised that the optimum answer was to have a couple of drones to kill the drones, and have two mining lasers to get the necessary veldspar quickly. It has been like that forever, but now CCP has changed it.

For pity’s sake, stop breaking things. It actually teaches a new player the wrong lesson - Venture slots are for mining, drone bay is for defence.

While your observation is 100% correct, I don’t think throwing mud at somebody is the best approach to convince her to atone :thinking:

I am sorry, but this is idiocy. Deliberate stupidity. It is not as if it is an isolated incident. CCP keep making changes without understanding the game. As a paying customer, I am entitled to express my anger and irritation at a pattern of bad behaviour on their part.

Honeyed words butter no parsnips…

There is slight chance of intention to teach thinking out of box. You can also fit guns and load mining drones.

Alphas, for a start, cannot use mining drones. A|so, training into them is longer than minimum basic drone skills to defend the Venture against the very soft threats found during the Career Agent industry missions.

No sane individual is going to fit high slot weapons and mine with drones for this mission, unless they are a raving masochist. Just because what you suggest is technically possible, does not mean it is actually a credible option.

Slinging mud at CCP is always a good thing to do. In particular in this instance where they introduced a whole host of changes that weren’t documented at all, that are not listed in any patch notes, that have no explanation, that weren’t detailed in a dev blog in any way.

Kill 8 NPC’s what? Their houseplants? Come on, CCP. An apostrophe is used to indicate possession, not to make a noun plural. This is very basic grammar that’s super simple to not mess up, yet here we are. smh

Looking at the overall design concept, i think it fits perfectly though :smiley:

Sadly it is this ignorant belief, so common amongst the younger generation, that acronym plurals attract an apostrophe.

@CCP_Paragon This would be the simplest of fixes, the work of a few seconds. Surely CCP does not want such sloppiness to stand uncorrected?

Isn’t it

plurals’

?

Why would it be? The plurals dont possess anything.

Watching the live2feed stream Friday last, the ccp team had to give up on finding a homefront dread challenge because of its popularity. That one may need a balancing pass ?

Thanks for the excel add-in :smiley:

In my experience, its not available on Office 365 either.

I managed to get it installed.
I could find no instructions on how to enable this, so I will share:

Click on the “File” tab, In the new window that opens, click on “Account” near the bottom left corner.
In the new window find “Account Privacy” just below your user information on the top left.
Click on the “Manage Settings” button. A new privacy window opens.
Select the “Turn on optional connected experiences” check box near the bottom of the window.
Click the “OK” button in the bottom right corner.
You will need to re-start Office for this change to take effect.

I went here:

Clicking “Open in Excel” eventually started Excel to begin the character registration process.

Selecting add-ins now looks like this:

Adjusted the Minimum Broker Fees that a structure owner could set from 0.5% to 0.0% now that the 0.5% Minimum SCC charge exists.

There is a minimum fee of 100 ISK for broker fees charged, even at 0%.

There are lots of items in the game that cost much less than 100 ISK. Do you now pay more BF than the item is worth it?
