Well what they said is that they didnt fix mission running because they made this system instead. I don’t think the first pass is going to accomplish that but the system has potential. Using the current event as an example. I think if you were to have some kind of system like the drifters showing up and putting a meter in your home system that if it gets too low bad things will happen. Then turning around and making bounty missions to come kill those guys to get your meter up it could be an interesting way of going about that. They just gotta cook up some reason as to why corps would pay people to do things in such a way
No idea to be fair, its probably more effort to acquire than the 30mil it goes for so i’m also confused where they are all coming from

eh, nothing is immune to being ganked - Nothing.
It’s just means bring more friends.
I am curious what led to the decision to buff resist modules. Is there data or a write up somewhere on this?

Well, they did nerf them a few years ago, trying to soften up the incredibly hard to break rep-chains at this point.
However, then RR received a slight stacking penalty to (but thats only noticable at the biggest cap-fights), new weapon systems came into the game, for example triglavian guns that do spool up to insane damage amounts or edencom guns that hit multiple targets. Also more recently breacher pods that completely ignore resists and making RR harder again. Booshers came into the game that allow logi squads to be separated.
All that might be arguments for simply reverting the initial nerf and checking if it helps to keep things in balance.
Also, fasten the alu hat: to nerf ganking

Incredibly disappointing. It is hardly worthy of the expansion label. This slavish devotion to Sov Null is really old now.
“How dare Sov Null receive 3 of the last 6 expansions! Every expansion should be all about Empire space!” -_- Next people will complain about Wormholes being slavishly devoted to in the Winter expansion.
It’s worth it just for the ganker tears alone…
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Wormholers complain the most, depending on what CCP does when touching this space. It is one of the best working as intended areas in the game and usually CCP doesn’t have a lucky hand when messing around with things…
And I mean explicitly changes that add QoL to WH life, thats very dangerous, because the only reason the big nullblocks are currently leaving WHs alone (for the most part) that it is inconvenient for the majority of their “grunts” that have no real idea of game mechanics to live there. Make it easier, they will crawl into the last blobfree space of EVE with legions of alts like the do in every environment, suffocating everyone else trying to live in there. In my humble opinon, WH space ist best left alone, we are happy here, we don’t need anything.
That makes no sense for this to be a reason to buff resistance modules…
Sure it does, since breacher pods aren’t the only source of damage in a battle. But their existence means, the logis will have a harder job now. So “buffing” the resistance modules will reduce all those other sources of damage, meaning the pressure on logi ships to keep up with the reps will go down a bit again. Which seems to be the purpose of this expansion: Love for Logibros.
As a mission runner, and as a dev who built a website to help myself run them (https://evemissioneer.com), i would prefer the NPC missions remain in the game!
i am neutral about it, most of the patch notes don’t change my gameplay.
the trigs marauder is good but very late to the party
Surgical Strike
- Increased the resistances of Energized Membranes, Armor Coatings, Armor Hardeners, Shield Hardeners, and Shield Amplifiers by ~11%.
- Note: This is a full rollback of the Surgical Strike resistance nerfs.
This is not a buff. This is a joke.
What’s next. Bringing back the bubble immunity of some ships?
Seems CCP just trying to fix the damage done by the scarcity.

as long they don’t nerf the buff they did to short ammo i am neutral
I can’t see how they could with rolling back the final resistance nerf from surgical strike.
Legion is a game changer, it has an omega button in the neocom and its gold, how awesome is that, ACTUAL GOOOOOLDDDD!!!
