Love this as a low-sec only player! Was really annoying to keep getting them in high sec all the time when I'm outlaw.
Best of all with all the players not able to farm them now my LP/isk should increase as well :D
btw CCP: Perhaps introduce several more lvl 5 agents to all races, there are rather few of them, and they also do not exist in 0.0 currently. Also i would love to see some new lvl 5's as well.
To the whiners, adapt or die I'll be making even more isk and pvp even more from it now --signature-- Support the Field Command ship boost: Here |

Originally by: Dave Hourai PVP IS THE NAME OF THIS GAME PEOPLE. IF IT WASN'T THERE WOULDNT BE WARS AND 0.0 you want only pve content, play WoW.
But... How come all your kills are in Archee and Decon? Seems to me that you're avoiding real PVP -- Come out to null sec! ^_^
Where the bubbles and blobs are? 600 man lag-fest fleets? No thx! :D No real pvp is the small anti-pirate gangs who come to kill us. Or the logistics fielding battleship gangs who fight us. Or the hot drops we get, and try to turn around.
Back to the fix:
Funny thing to me is that no one has mentioned ransoming the space. If I lived in a low sec with a level 5 I would have no issues renting my non-violence out to a missioner; he want to finish the mission or do missions there, he can pay us a part of the earning/profit for not only us leaving him alone, but BETTER yet, for us to protect him, leading to pvp against other pirate corps, ISK from the runner (if he dies we would buy his hac/bs/carrier) and general fun all around. Granted he could bring his own corp but then hes putting all of them at risk instead of ensuring his survival/protection with US. We wouldn't go into the mission and he wouldn't have to split LP/bounties (except a small portion of the earnings). This could be done per week or per mission, depending on the contract.
An idea.
This, I've tried to make people pay me before, but apparently they seem to prefer hiding in high sec and making 1/4th the isk or loosing their entire gang In fact most of them will insult you so bad im not sure half of the words even exist.. which obviously means no negotiation
thats said, I've managed to make deals before and the ones doing the mission have been very satisfied so it most certainly works.
whiners: why the hell do you need a 2-3b rattlesnake for the missions? i dual account them where the ships cost me 550m total... :/ and it's pretty much impossible to catch unless you're stupid. --signature-- Support the Field Command ship boost: Here |

Edited by: adriaans on 12/06/2010 02:05:20 Whiners: Another thing, YOU doing lvl 5's in high sec does NOT increase people in low-sec, in fact it LOWERS it.
Yes this change will have a negligible effect on low-sec population, but finally we low-sec citizens are no longer sent to high sec and get the reward for fighting over these areas. If you do not want to do so then clearly you should not have the rewards.
Originally by: Quagnar No one uses a Tengu in low sec or 00, thier too expensive, its an empire ship with no use now.
rofl
I got several T3's in low-sec with more coming when i get the iskies

Why a pirate that is hated by empire gets missions from the empire factions baffles me. The hardest and the ones that requires most trust(standings) at that too. To be logical, remove lvl5s from non-carebears (from lowsec).
I have almost 8 faction standing so....
its concord that hates me, 2 of the empires love me --signature-- Support the Field Command ship boost: Here |

Originally by: Kerfira Contrary to what seems to be thought by most of the whiners in this thread, losing a virtual spaceship doesn't actually hurt
Actually, for me it really does hurt. Physically. In real life. I get this knot in my stomach when I lose an expensive ship. It's a feeling I really don't like, and I go to great lengths to avoid.
After a few hundred losses you just shrug and get on with business as usual.
Why would I intentionally subject myself to that much pain? This is supposed to be recreation, right?
If you're such a poor looser why on earth are you playing games --signature-- Support the Field Command ship boost: Here |

Originally by: Ghurthe #2 - If not adding Level 5s to null sec, give level 5 missions sleeper AI. At the very least this will put pirates on equal footing with those running missions.
As a pirate that would make it easier to kill/catch people as unprobable (well almost) fits with an unprobable logi combo would no longer work as the logi would be melted meaning people need to use ships thats way faster to probe. As one who runs the missions AND as one who hunts the others i don't see the benefit from the mission runner point of view.
Originally by: Ghurthe The trouble is not 'I might lose a ship' the issue is that the value of the ship you need to put at risk to run a level 5 mission properly without a fleet of at least 5 players, and at the point where you're using 5 players it's so worthless you might as well run level 4s, the cost of a properly tanked ship is so high that so much as one loss in every 20 missions is enough to put you at a loss for doing level 5s.
That's all there is to it, if the likelihood of losing your ship is any greater than 5% than the risk is greater than the reward. Because even with 1 Billion isk made from level 5s that STILL won't replace a T2 Purger rigged Rattler which is basically the ONLY thing that properly tanked an Em/Thermal mission well.
If you need a 1-4b ship you're doing it wrong, particularly if you use purger rigs.
hint: resist tengu with 3x bcu and backup arrays and remote eccm from unprobable logi, the average lvl 4 skiller can not probe it. Add implants and the prober needs very very high skills. --signature-- Support the Field Command ship boost: Here |
