Yup, I'm a k162 mechanic. I'm willing to work on your k162 but you'll have to drop it off at my shop. Please note that we only take payments in 1 Isk increments or Fidos.
We do some roadside assistance, but that costs extra and requires that you watch a youtube video of large men digging in their belly button for dryer lint, while wearing an expression that we assume is either concentration or constipation.
I'll gladly give you a Fido (Slaver) for a Fedo.
Also OP no. Just....no. |

You keep coming up with all this moronic ideas. What bugs me is that I can't figure out if you are trolling or if you just are a little bit r3tarded.
Does it have to be an either or? |

Signatures have changed a lot over time also. Exploration wasn't a 'profession'. Folks used to make a safespot in a large system off of d'scan and were able to just leave ships floating at the safe until they needed them. Deep safes (over 200au from any celestial) used to be common hangouts for pirates. No d-scan triangulation to get an aiming point for your probes.
Grav/ladar/mag/radar sites didn't exist in the forms they are today - though knowing a bit of probing history reveals why they were called ladar/grav and so on. of course now I think they are dumbed down to gas/relic/data/ore since there are no racial probe types anymore and no need to connect a given site with a given racial sensor type.
There is no going back. I guess I would just like to stop the 'dumbing down' of the game. I get the need for subscriptions, but I don't get the pandering (yeah that's kind of funny) to all of the whining about eve being 'too hard' and this or that 'needs fixed'.
One of the reasons I liked eve in the past is that it was a difficult game to play and not everyone could. It kept out the 'come at me bro' types and all the easy mode folks.
There is also the stubborness of CCP. They make a lot of changes to the game. Guess what (apply sunglasses - blinding flash of the obvious incoming) not all of them are good. When CCP puts NOT GOOD changes in the game it would be nice to see them be a bit more grown up and just pull them back out.
My example (even though it has zero effect on my play style) is drone assist. A great concept. Emergent game play made it a bad mechanic for both game play and server hardware. CCP is too stubborn to just get rid of it. The current 'fix' is to limit the number of assigned drones. Man up, admit it didn't work out and pull it. It's not that difficult. The game was playable before drone assist and it would be playable again without it.
My point with that rant is: they will tweek the overlay piece of crap for a decade to improve it (think a big shiny poop), but they will not pull it. They will pander to the pandas if they think it will improve the bottom line. If that means dumbing something down, then they will. We just have to adapt.

The game was playable before drone assist and it would be playable again without it. The concept is still great, and you want the emergent gameplay. The problem was that it's free (no skills required) and unlimited. They could have implemented drone-assist with a drone-assist skill (train it to five and you can assist all five of your little buddies). You could even have a second skill that decides how many assisted drones one could control, then you would also get a natural limit on the amount of drones that can be assisted to one pilot.

Watch what you whine about you may get what you ask for. +1
I'm also starting to lean towards the idea of making wormhole signatures scannable from boths sides immediately after they spawn, not just one side, and be done with it.

Yeah Ashi, I agree. Great concept. Sadly a bunch of tools in null (knowing full well what they were doing) decided to bork the whole thing. And totally agree cheesy feet drone assist is off topic.
We should burn down one stupid idea and then move on to the next. The stupid idea of this thread is something about delaying something for some arbitrary amount of time to accomplish something.... so let's work on that.
The big question at this point for me is what they actually call cheesey feet on comms.

For running sites I agree. For wh pvp, it involves a lot of kiting and running so you don't die in a fire No trolling please |
