Well, imo, looks like it.

Im a pvp pilot from the very first hours of being EVE pilot.
Of course from time to time I do npc hunt, mission run and etc.

Now, for all time Im in EVE, I always heard developers saying that EVE is risk vs reward game. If you run lvl 4 agents in 0.9 space, then you get less money with less risk then npcing in 0.0 space where you get more money for more risk being hunted and shot.

Now, that mechanism is now easily avoided:
Alot of deep space systems arent guarded by locals, that thing is known to everyone, so you just come, stick a small pos, stick 2 small guns and your done. Your isk printing machine is ready and going.
Get a BS/BC, start farming NPCs every minute you got, once local goes +1, hug POS the same moment.

No way anyone gets you if you do it. Example? I mostly fly cruiser-class ships. I jump into systems sometimes, scan a hunter 100 000 km from me in a belt. By the time I enter warp in a cruiser class vessel, hes already lighting a cig at the local POS.


Solution? Make NPC scram their hunters more. Say like 50% chance of scramming from one of BS sized npcs. Why BS? Harder and longer to kill off, and also gets you more risk against both npcs and players that can fly into system and catch you.

Any thoughts?
