houndsnout	Posted - 2011.02.06 12:39:00 - [1] This would be cool. Perhaps some penalty while in use, like reduced shields or something like that, or warping 30 from gates.
Magnus Orin Minmatar United Systems Navy Wildly Inappropriate.	Posted - 2011.02.06 18:07:00 - [2] Can't tell if serious. Sarcasm - Because i'm too far away to strangle you.
houndsnout	Posted - 2011.02.07 08:58:00 - [3] Yes, serious. One of the irritating things is the time it can take to get from A to B. If AP could be made to work while logged off, then time-poor players would be able to move while logged off. For example - set AP, leave the office, head home, log on. To balance this, a shield limitation or other penalty could be applied such as warping to 30 instead of 15; this could also let other players know the ship might be unmanned at the moment and the owner would not respond if attacked. So, yes, you can AP while not logged in, subject to increased risk
Mag's the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2011.02.07 09:07:00 - [4] It's a ridiculous idea which wouldn't work and you should feel ashamed for posting it. Originally by: Allestin Villimar Also, if your bookmarks are too far out, they can and will ban you for it. Originally by: Torothanax Low population in w systems makes afk cloaking unattractive.
Serge Bastana Gallente GWA Corp	Posted - 2011.02.07 09:11:00 - [5] One point to note on this, besides it being a terrible idea, is that if you're logged off while ap'ing around, how do the bonuses to your ship get applied since they are only active when you're logged in? This would be especially important for haulers who may need every last m3 in their cargo hold. ------------------------------------------------ Quafe is people!
Gypsio III Dirty Filthy Perverts	Posted - 2011.02.07 11:42:00 - [6] Have you tried not logging off?
Ruareve	Posted - 2011.02.07 11:49:00 - [7] Simpler answer.. High sec jump routes (jump bridge?) that go from region to region instead of system to system. Charge a fee and move faster through large chunks of space, then do the 8-12 jumps within the region to destination. Autopilot is unable to use the region routes however, you need to be behind the wheel. Removes alot of the tedium of exploring New Eden while still allowing for plenty of opportunity to feel like your in space.

Or maybe you're just a troll because he always comes up with better ideas than you could ever possibly dream of, and you are jealous ofhim and want ALL of the Glory. Well you will earn YOUR glory when you take down a Titan using a Rookie Ship, on your own. We will blow up your ship and orce you to get into the Rookie Ship or we will blow up your pod as well. Your choice. Stop being a troll to this guy, or fight a Titan while using a Rookie Ship, and winning at it. -- As an Amarr Defector, I chose to become a Mercenary and Industrialist.

SpaceDCDC	Posted - 2011.02.07 22:01:00 - [10] Originally by: Mag's It's a ridiculous idea which wouldn't work and you should feel ashamed for posting it. How is that at all constructive? Read the posting guidelines. Anyways, I do like the idea of region jump gates to provide more mobility a bit better than AP while logged off. Jump clones exist to address these issues, but they seem too restrictive.

ShahFluffers Ice Fire Warriors	Posted - 2011.02.07 22:23:00 - [11] I'll throw in my "constructive comment" in the form of a question: You want to be rewarded for NOT playing the game? _______________________ "Just because I seem like an idiot doesn't mean I am one." ~Unknown
SpaceDCDC	Posted - 2011.02.07 22:28:00 - [12] Originally by: ShahFluffers You want to be rewarded for NOT playing the game? Very valid point. That reinforces my opinion of the region jump gates vs. autopilot while disconnected.
Mike Voidstar	Posted - 2011.02.07 22:47:00 - [13] It would be nice if autopilot actually went to the destination, instead of just the system, so long as it kept the same 15km slowboat approach. I personally don't care about afk AP.... either you are worth ganking, or not. If you are, then there is nothing you can do in a freighter or industrial about it in any case. If not, it's a non-issue and either way the same goal is accomplished by shutting your screen and speakers off and walking away from the PC for an hour while your ship slowboats around. A bigger issue might be that Hauling is boring, and having to do it is poor game design.

Other users have already proven you wrong. If you think the idea can't work, think about the problem the original poster is trying to solve and propose alternate solutions. Or just don't comment - a truly bad idea based on a non-existent problem will die a faster death at the bottom of the forum if you ignore it.

In a word yes. in several yes this would really help, been playing eve for years now (almost 5 I think) and what with my time being limited a lot more now this would really help me feel motivated to do things. And on a side note: Originally by: Amaroq Dricaldari .....fight a Titan while using a Rookie Ship, and winning at it. Want to see

Yea they sure did prove me wrong, by suggesting something completely different. Like you sir, that's brilliant.

De'Veldrin Minmatar Self Preservation Society the 2nd Dead Terrorists	Posted - 2011.02.08 13:48:00 - [19] So the two basic ideas in this thread in tl;dr format: 1) Let me move my ship while I'm not logged in. 2) Make Eve (feel) smaller so I don't have to haul stuff so far. Hauling IS boring. You think truck drivers are having the time of their lives delivering 40 metric tons of crap to your local Wal-Mart? Probably not - but while boring, it's also necessary for any economy that doesn't involve using goats as a form of currency. If you don't like it, play smarter, not harder. Hire someone to move your goods for you - there are whole groups of people that love hauling so much, that's all they do. Second option, MOVE YOUR ASS SOMEWHERE ELSE. Then you, ZOMG! won't have to haul the stuff as far. Then you can focus on doing what you like to do, instead of what you feel like you have to do. And Mags can stop making you feel like the idiot you are. --Vel Originally by: Blacksquirrel This is EVE. PVE can happen anywhere at anytime. Be prepared.

Rugs Amarr Clown Punchers. Clown Punchers Syndicate	Posted - 2011.02.08 18:52:00 - [21] I'd love it if it worked for more than 30 minutes while being logged on... Seems to stop around that time :P

Planetary Interaction love it lol There are no limits to the majestic future which lies before the mighty expanse of Canada with its virile, aspiring, cultured, and generous-hearted people.

Khamiz Catholic School for Boys	Posted - 2011.02.09 02:27:00 - [23] TBH, I can't see a difference between someone APing around while having the client running and someone APing around while shutting his computer down. I could start the AP at my office, drive home, kick out the office-client by logging in from home .. or just fly offline. At least it would save a lil bit of electricity (for those from countries that actually care about it). Having empire-jump-bridges, however, would effectively make Eve smaller and impact the markets. How'd sell his junk cheaper in a remote location if hauling it to a hub would be easy ?

Planetary Interaction Haha, good point ! How about ... Skill Training ? Research Agents ? Factories, Labs, Moon mining ? Buy Orders ? Sell Orders ? Contracts ? Did we forget anything that you can benefit from while being offline ?
Project 69	Posted - 2011.02.09 11:36:00 - [25] I actually would support the idea if a logged off AP ship would have a big banner on it's head with all the necessary infos for gankers... like: "Hello, I'm logged off, my destination is New Caldari. Please use explosive ammunition to pop my 3000 shield, 1200 Armor and 500 Structure. You could be winning at least half of my cargo which is worth about 500mil isk" and of course Concord wouldn't care if you kill them, since Concord only cares about online people
Vayna Miychovich NED-Clan Goonswarm Federation	Posted - 2011.02.09 16:34:00 - [26] Originally by: SpaceDCDC Originally by: Mag's So you want me to be constructive with an idea that could never work?

Or just don't comment - a truly bad idea based on a non-existent problem will die a faster death at the bottom of the forum if you ignore it. Killing an idea may not be constructive for the idea itself but it saves a lot of time and is therefore constructive for the development of the game as a whole. And on the not commenting thing, in a normal situation I would fully agree, however some brainiacs who dump rediculous ideas on this forum decided to bump their threats when nobody replies . . . . . As to trying the help solving the problem of the original poster: There is no problem with the game, the guy is just cheap as he doesn't want to waste electricity on his computer for AFK travelling or a computer that will allow him to play 2 games at the same time. NED-Clan Meer dan een corp!
Mashie Saldana Minmatar Veto Corp	Posted - 2011.02.09 18:13:00 - [27] Awesome idea, I support it as long as offline ships are blue and can be destroyed without Concord intervention.

SirHarryPierce	Posted - 2011.02.09 22:04:00 - [29] Originally by: Mike Voidstar A bigger issue might be that Hauling is boring, and having to do it is poor game design. The demension of distanse makes EVE worth while, if you ask me. Instant travel would give a horrible gameplay.

Or maybe I have a laptop, and when I'm on my way home with the laptop I can't be online due to ****ty internet coverage. Clown.
