The only problem is I think you just made yourself Goonswarm's enemy No1 ;-)
(unless Mittani created OTEC purely for Trolling purposes in which case he has succeeded again).

You mean they may have had prior knowledge before the invastion because of some ccp or ex ccp were in the CFC ?.. say it is not so ?

In T1 terms, it would be like if you could create Isogen by banging Veldspar and Scordite

and this is surprising how? throw tinfoil at me if you must but if it looks like a duck quacks like a duck and gets in my way when I'm fishing, its a duck

Yes because scanning every single moon in the game again sounds like good gameplay design.

lol so we going to see a special dislike button too so all the Goons can dogpile you?

EvilweaselSA = "Buy Tech on the market as well while you're at it, this alchemy thing is silly" ... I see you missed the point of the Devblog and everything else.

Hrm you think no one who use to work for CCP is in the CFC ? haha.. Dude you know better but regardless least they are playing eve now. No I have no idea who they are. I am only speculating of course.

i was expecting a bit more than just increased alchemy diversity. how about depletable moons that once depleted have the moongoo hot spot change to a different mood randomly in new eden? that furthers ccp's goal of encouraging warfare :)

Goon tears incomming, well done CCP, thanks for fixing this design failure that has been exploited too long :)

i would stfu, if my alliance fc's lead fleets full of goon shitheads only because he can suck mittens tech ****** ;)

sorry you'r wrong we had one year of tech and our corp is so incredible rich now, you cant believe it :D

but really, i would never fly for any isk fly with goons ;) but i know pl is different

yeah we have enough of pvp, we retired to mining and sanctum chaining ;)

yeah thats why this noobs still killed 100b more ;)

and talking of quality while shadoo fcs drakefleets is kinda ironic :D

Young man you fail to realize my corp was ecstatic to live in NPC space. Have a great day.

Fly safe Gentlemen.

fReEdOm of SpeEch if U dOn'T lIKE iT DONT reAd iT

so nico turned down your bro love offer too eh?

wow grath you keep on getting rejected...

no wonder you are soo bitter...

but alas worry not...

i still lub you

no local chat is what makes us elite, like those masked sandninjas in 300

One totaly unrelated game mechanic that could also break the Tech monopoly would be to make standings based on player actions, not just a click of a button. Too much of the game is blue to each other. Indiscretions done to an Alliance should not be so easily forgotten.

No you can be blue with anyone, just not shoot them in the morning and be their best friend in the afternoon

You left out option 3:

Everybody is saying "about frickin time"

i can field that one

the person who did the dominion rebalance didn't understand how a bottlenecking system works and made tech valuable completely accidentally, when trying to make low-tier moons moderately valuble

I cant wait to see how this plays plays out, its nice to hear PL saying this needs fixing even if it is in a rather quiet voice after they have allready made "trillions" and are sitting pretty and pre lubed, just above the mighty goon **** waiting to bounce up and down or giggle and run away again.

loose

Don't worry, really, as soon these changes hit, the average CFC grunt is going to suffer badly. Sure there are trillions of isks in the hands of a couple of alliances, but those isk's are in the hands of only a minority of players.

You think they are going to subside the alliance running costs, reimbursement programs and tons of other stuff, with their own wallets ?...

The most I would classify your allies would be "vassal" allies...

I just donGÇÖt like you claiming you are any different then any of the other coalitions that have all risen and fallen in the past.

When in reality you are the same just under different circumstances which allow you to be nicer and more lenient to your petsGǪ

But when tech II production is fixed I would be shocked if you were able to continue the way you operateGǪ

Personally I do hope that parts of the CFC collapse

A pet is someone who is allowed to live in their space or hold their assets as long as they do what their owners tell them to. For example Black Mark was told that their killboard wasn't impressive enough or their CTA participation wasn't good enough and they were kicked out of their space. Some people would also argue that PL is a goon pet because the CFC is sitting on top of their tech moons.

right i blame D3 and Sins rebellion expansion for that one...

meh its just something you have to get past right? its the future either adapt or never play cool "NEW" games again i guess...

OH AND GAL CIV ii IS THE BOMB!

fing caps lock...

i still play MOO2 from time to time...

Hello CCP Fozzie, in German your name is not very clean, it would translate to CCP Cuntty or CCP Twatty. I'm sure you were not aware of that and propose you just change it.

sure and when d3 becomes a single player game sure thing

LOL!

In a real environment new resources are found and others deplete, requiring "scanning" all the time. THis mechanic is totally absent in moon mining, so you trolling me by proposing I have to scan as if that is an unrealistic amount of work...is well...laughable!

You got a pretty poor defense there and the self interest oozes out !

You don't have to move far in a good system at all!

* Very moon (bar high sec, as that cannot be mined) is scanned, often multiple times.

* Every relevant moon can be found in public databases.

* Of course alliances will try to keep moon information as secret as possible, but that will never change.

* Even so, statistics for null sec are available and public and have been for years!

I see the logic behind this, but its still a reaction to the symptoms and not the problem itself. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt however as you say the real solution in coming.

Personally, i would like to see depleting moons with random spawns of new materials. Give all moons a finite amount of resources, and when depleted, they would respawn somewhere else in new eden. This should be quite simple to implement and would solve nearly all of our current moongoo problems.

-Rare goo being confined to one part of space would be solved by random seeding.
-Rare goo being controlled by only the largest alliances would be largely solved by the unknown locations of new goo deposits.

This system could allow WH systems to produce goo as well making moon surveying in unknown space a profession.

Adjusting respawn consistency and amounts would allow ccp to somewhat adjust the supply of goo for when asteroid belt mining is implemented.

I simply don't see any downsides to this idea...

You don't have to, there's people who will and will be more then happy to sell you the information.

WH systems are far from unassailable. Yes, you can't take 20 erebus, 15 avatars, and 40 nyxs in to do it so i can see why you guys might have a problem with this...

Every moon i double checked years ago was correct, its a good start. As for hostile alliance space, just scan the mining towers they have, ignore all else and you get the good picture rather quick, all hard effort will be done for you by your enemy.

So it is not an issue at all that not every single noob can publicly see where the best moons are in all of EVE. Simply because they can;t do anything with it anyway!

Random moonshifts and depletion and that sort of stuff can be implemented without influence on territorial warfare. It will change however the passive nature of moon mining into an active one (no longer with towers)

And the scanning mechanism can work just like with exploration, and you could enhance systems you control. It wouldn't be totally random either, an area rich in X will keep rich in X, just need to find the details. Other regions will have smaller amount of X too now and then, but with less chance to find it.

Everyone happy!

haha not like you could speak out of personnal experience, can you? GBC and NC were basicly nothing different to the current CFC...Goons didnt invent the Coalition either.

The true revelations of the Delve war were that OTEC are so overwhelming that one of the most "anticipated wars in EVE" ended in less than a week because the other 0.0 alliances realized it would be financial ruin to face up against OTEC in an extended war scenario because of the sheer volume of income available.

sorry if thats off-topic, but doesnt give that kind of information CSM Members (and their friends, eventually) an advantage over other players in order of speculation etc?

hi

You should try to ask that in the right thread
