If you're going to make it go back to "default" every time you log on, I would suggest you make it possible to change the default setting client side. Otherwise, pirates will be unhappy. And when pirates are unhappy, they tend to make life miserable for the rest of us :) |

I would imagine that having the safety system in "green safe mode" just wouldn't do anything in WH or null space since you don't pick up flags for doing anything there anyway. So if you live in null or WH 100% of the time you would never need to turn it off. Now if you live in lowsec this could certainly be annoying.
Image the hilarity if a lowsec roaming gang jumps into a hostile gang and then discovers that half of the fleet members forgot to turn off their safeties when they logged on. |

Looking forward to the bugs. Like, the thing not letting you perform legal actions, or not turning off server side in time even if you click the button client-side (due to lag), and fleets being completely confused by fleet members having safeties on etc.
Do you have a fleet window status indicator so the FC can see which members are green and which are red etc? So that when the FC calls "safeties off" he can verify that it's been done by everyone?
Do you have a way for a high-sec carebear to tell, in station, which modules will be disabled once he undocks to do high-sec PVE? Cause, as a complete newbie, I'd like to see that smartbombs are red when I fit them, and see an explanation why they're red, so I don't fit them, without having to undock to check.
If all my high-slot guns are disabled due to safeties, can I still overheat them and burn them out for no purpose? Due to misclick, due to being an idiot, whatever the reason, can I?

IMHO, this is pretty awesome.
I think there is going to be some knee-jerk tears from griefers and gankers and the like, but honestly, I think we're going to see more people blowing themselves up in a conflagration of stupidity after this change.

I just tried it on Buckingham. Aligning will not prevent you from activating safe logoff, and safe logoff will not stop your ship or otherwise interfere with alignment. When you click warp you will warp right away and the timer will be aborted as you described. |

For one thing, this system guarantees that nothing like a "lofty scam"* can happen without the player's explicit consent. Not just that the current implementation of the system happens to not have any loopholes in it (as it is on TQ currently, AFAIK), but that the system simply does not allow it at a fundamental level. By enforcing it on the server as well as the client, it also allows us to catch corner cases which are otherwise-unsolvable.
For example, if a pilot in a war ejects from a ship in space, docks up and leaves the corporation, there's no sound way to tell war targets on grid with the ship that its owner is no longer at war with them without incurring a crippling performance hit on the server (there's an extensive technical reason to do with the way we propagate states that I'm not going to try and remember perfectly here). The end-user experience is that your client believes that ship you're targeting is a legal target, but when the server processes your attack it disagrees and you get CONCORDed. By having a safety system, and by tracking your safety state on the server, we can intervene at the last second and say "hey, that's not a legal target, your safeties are on, so your gun doesn't fire". This is essentially a generalization of the fix that we put in for remote assistance to prevent people getting entire Incursion fleets CONCORDed by having one guy in the rep chain pick up a GCC, to illustrate a completely different situation in which this sort of problem also occurs.
My Sig Saur .40 P229 doesn't have a safety.

Pretty much this. I understand, that currently it has to reset to something, since the setting can't persist, but couldn't you automate the job? Allow the setting to be applied client side and automaticly have it be sent to the server upon login.
EDIT: Nice changes overall though. |

That seems like dirty hardcoding in the background. So after logging off "safely" i get ported to a 1M KM distant space.

Really like the concept of the Safety switch. Reminds me of 'peace-tying' of weapons in the old days. You fly into hi-sec and lock your guns in place, showing that you're not intent on any agressive action, unless directly attacked. Head into lo-sec and "Safety's off." I really like it.
I'd only say I agree with others that if you do try and pull an aggressive act with the safety on, that the safety level pops up and says "You said you didn't want to be up to this kind of business, so if you really really want to, please confirm the next lower safety level to continue with this aggressive act. It's not our fault if you're dokken'd." |

I'm all for this change. I think it's fantastic. I wont need to click that stupid pop-up in lowsec any-more to say I want to shoot stuff. All the people complaining that Eve is being made too easy are frankly fools. Probably griefers who are incapable of PvPing against anyone who isn't a 2 day old n00b.
This change isn't making Eve easier, it's making it harder. Now all of you "so called" PvPers will be fighting people who actually know what they're doing. Not only that, but there will be less delay between them deciding to fire and you getting killed. The n00bs will still get themselves killed in low and null (Forget to take the safety off? Derp).
Real life guns don't have a pop-up window that asks if your sure you want to shoot at someone, they have a safety. And if you forget to take that safety off your dead, likewise, if you leave it off all the time, your going to make mistakes. "In the age of information, ignorance is a choice." |

No more "are you sure" popups please. People don't read them anyway. The intent of this "master switch" is to avoid more literature while trying to shoot something. |

Great idea - so if usually you wanted to be on the cautious side and thus leave the warning popup enabled, but were still one popup+click away from being able to engage that cagey guy in losec, now I need to change a safety setting, and the whole process will take me way longer than confirming a popup, which can give the other party an advantage.
How fricking awesome an idea - I assume the devs don't travel between hi, lo and nul too often..? Please, give us options how to have that behaviour, don't force us into your idea of what you would need for PVP. |

CCP Greyscale wrote:Ok, so you can't initiate a safe logoff until your timers have ended anyway. The benefit of safe logoff is:
- Unsafe logoff: you close the client, your ship turns off its modules, emergency-warps, sits in space for a minute and then disappears
- Safe logoff: you hit safe logoff, your ship sits in space for thirty seconds with its modules off, and then disappears
Other than not generating you an instant 1m km safespot, there's really no upside to unsafe logoff other than speed.
Are you sure? If you unsafe log off without any timers and you're aggressed during the logoff, you will still disappear. But the safe logoff will cancel the logoff.
Devblog wrote:"You have a target lock or are targeted You have aggression from players or NPCs and if they happen once the countdown is running, it'll be aborted."
If you have a good enough buffer, it's safer to unsafe logoff than safe logoff as you'll disappear after 1 minute no matter what. Looks to me as an upside :) |

The new safety system is pretty terrible for me, as a FW pilot in lowsec.
Case 1: In a big furball, I want to be able to shoot a neutral but can't because my safety won't let me. Case 2: In the same furball, I don't want to accidentally shoot a neutral but do because my safety didn't stop me. Case 3: As a logi pilot, I want to rep a friendly who is "gcc" but can't because my safety won't let me. Case 4: As a logi pilot, I don't want to accidentally rep a friendly who is "gcc" but I do because my safety didn't stop me.
My point is, the current popup system is very useful when you're in grey areas where you aren't a pure "good guy white night anti-pirate carebear" or "bad guy flashy pirate ganker." The new system will make life very difficult for morally complex people. |
