Isn't there any legacy code that could stop you from introducing pointless stuff like ESS and/or MMJD? I am not my skills but... http://eveboard.com/pilot/Schmata_Bastanold |

I admire your optimism about being on the market 7 years down the road.
Seriously, what is the point of ESS? Should I deploy it to get 80% bounties + 20% in tags (because, yes, screw everyone else, gimme all your taggies) or should I just do 1 more anom and get 100% of current bounties without thinking about additional trash bin in space? I already rat with dual sentry domis so no ammo consumption just 10 minutes more of my time (which is nothing considering how much time I spend on Eve related activities already).
As for it being offensive module well, good luck putting it in a system where regular ratting is in process and people actually use their space. The moment it will show up on d-scan there will be probes in space, warp at 100km in alphanado and boom. And with neutrals/hostiles in system nobody will rat anyway so good luck with taking rake from bounties. Rats don't kill themselves so ESS is not bounty siphon, you cannot count that nobody will notice it long enough for you to come back and collect.

I wonder what CSM members have to say about this brilliant device since apparently they knew about it since first drafts so let's hear their side now when NDA gag is gone. How did you imagine application or driving conflicts with this structure when you were talking about it with devs? I guess all null representants are above peasant activities like ratting so harassment factor probably was more attractive to them. So tell me how will you harass me with this new deployable and how gloriously it will enhance your gameplay experience. I cannot wait to see another snarky and condescending one-liner Malcanis will produce this time. I am not my skills but... http://eveboard.com/pilot/Schmata_Bastanold |

Not all of them are equally outraged, some posters entirely misunderstand the ESS and/or NullSec. and are positive, but most posts are somewhere between *facepalm* and "set CCP HQ on fire". I hope it will take CCP less than 23 hours to figure out how to backpedal on this one! Although I find it funny that CCP stopped posting yesterday, and has not responded AT ALL today. Makes you wonder if they know what kind of landmine they placed, turned on, and immediately jumped upon ...
They are too busy hi5ing around the office and with CSM over skype and they all take photos in front of wall full of 5 year roadmap. I am not my skills but... http://eveboard.com/pilot/Schmata_Bastanold |

So did CSM see design/proposal/idea of ESS or it is total surprise to them as well it is for rest of community? Because it seems to me that what mynnna wrote about LP and stuff points to the latter. And if CSM didn't know about this structure and how it will be implemented what is the point of having CSM at all? Also if CSM did know how it will be implemented how da frakk did they let it pass?

Why would they undock with you in system? They will wait for you to leave and THEN they will attempt to destroy ESS. No more, no less fights than now. I am not my skills but... http://eveboard.com/pilot/Schmata_Bastanold |

It's the equivalent of old time highway robbery.
That is exactly why nobody will use ESS as money boosting thing in the first place I am not my skills but... http://eveboard.com/pilot/Schmata_Bastanold |

People cry about how high sec is risk free game play but nullbears are are the worst for it.
So basically you better enjoy this carrot or god help me I will beat living sh!t out of you with this stick.
