Airu Naari The Noxious	Posted - 2011.02.15 18:57:00 - [1] I'm sure someone's already encountered one since the patch! :D Anxious to find out how much dps they tank and dish out etc.
Aessoroz Nohbdy.	Posted - 2011.02.15 18:58:00 - [2] Probably gave em sleeper AI and resists
Apollo Gabriel Brotherhood Of Fallen Angels Etherium Cartel	Posted - 2011.02.15 19:04:00 - [3] I wish they'd pod you ... well not YOU, but maybe you if you got popped. If you need to douche, please do it at home.

Ephemeron BeerTia Maniacs	Posted - 2011.02.15 19:28:00 - [6] would be nice if they added warp scrambling and changed damage types. Then 100s of Tengu farmers could die in their first encounters. I'll try find an officer this week
Elzon1 Caldari Shadow Boys Corp White Angels.	Posted - 2011.02.15 20:05:00 - [7] Edited by: Elzon1 on 15/02/2011 20:06:04 It would be nice if faction spawns got a boost as well since they occur fairly often and typically have a much higher value than regular spawns. As it stands now faction spawns simply mean moar money without much of an increased difficulty. I should need a logistics ship to rep me in my maelstrom when I encounter one of these spawns. This should be especially true of officer spawns I don't know where, I don't know when... but something awful is going to happen xD
Gaius BaItar Gallente Aliastra	Posted - 2011.02.15 20:19:00 - [8] Just found one in my tengu. I hardly scratched his shields with fury heavy missiles. Damage received was bad enough that I had to warp out. I changed ships, back in a golem. Slowly, I finally got him, but had to warp out once and wait for my shields to boost back up. That's how hard they are now.
Kiandoshia	Posted - 2011.02.15 20:24:00 - [9] Makes sense, seeing as they are supposed to be capsuleers too..
Captain Brickwalle	Posted - 2011.02.15 20:31:00 - [10] CCP said they adjusted difficulty to reflect prices, but this will only make them more expensive.
Jireel	Posted - 2011.02.15 20:33:00 - [11] Edited by: Jireel on 15/02/2011 20:34:07 I'm disappointed, I thought they'd make them only fleet-doable Damn, they should have at least the same characteristics as a faction BS with a full fit of their own modules.

Imiarr Timshae Caldari Funny Men In Funny Hats	Posted - 2011.02.15 20:43:00 - [13] Rabble rabble? I can no longer kill a 32m BS which drops 2bil + mods in a Rupture? Sounds legit. ----- Originally by: GM Horse Remember kids, both meth and macro use are Really Quite Bad Things. Originally by: CCP Shadow Tragic smelting accidents.
Hakaru Ishiwara Minmatar Republic Military School	Posted - 2011.02.15 20:53:00 - [14] The true shocker (one in the stink and two in the pink, you know) here is that solo ratters might have to bat phone a friend or alt in a logi or other RR ship. This tragedy where solo, post-DT ninja ratters might not be able to scoop up all the officer and faction loot is of epic proportions. People will write sonnets, plays and lament the passing of an era of easy ISK.

No sonnet from me, but a sigh and a cup of 'man the fk up' :S I guess...
Lt Angus Caldari the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2011.02.15 21:47:00 - [16] took me 3 years to find 1 and they want to make it harder How I'd Fix Shhhh, Im hunting Badgers
Magnus Orin Minmatar United Systems Navy Wildly Inappropriate.	Posted - 2011.02.15 22:33:00 - [17] Originally by: Lt Angus took me 3 years to find 1 and they want to make it harder How do these changes in anyway make it harder to find officers? If anything it will make it easier to find them as less people will be able to kill them, or kill them solo. Sarcasm - Because i'm too far away to strangle you.
Jamaican Herbsman I Love You Mary Jane	Posted - 2011.02.15 22:35:00 - [18] Originally by: Lt Angus took me 3 years to find 1 and they want to make it harder Don't feel bad. Many pilots, including me, haven't found even one officer spawn. And I've ratted (not chaining) like +2 hours a day in -1.0 truesec system for months. The system was usually empty thanks to my timezone, so there were no competition either. My dear corpmate however has had like 4. All he has to do is to warp to a belt. I may sound bitter but that's because I am.

If anything it will make it easier to find them as less people will be able to kill them, or kill them solo. I'm sure the overall experience will be harder.. that was the point maybe. Occupants of certain nullsec regions won't have a problem bringing their logi alt to help or whatever is necessary, I am sure. However, they are still (according to the Golem pilot that posted earlier) soloable.

That's how hard they are now. God dammit, no warp scrambling on new officers. CCP wimped out again. That could have been a dead Tengu. It could have been 100s of dead Tengus
Ephemeron BeerTia Maniacs	Posted - 2011.02.16 02:23:00 - [21] Originally by: Jireel Edited by: Jireel on 15/02/2011 20:34:07 I'm disappointed, I thought they'd make them only fleet-doable Damn, they should have at least the same characteristics as a faction BS with a full fit of their own modules. Actually that would be a bad idea, as it would only solidify 0.0 alliance control over their territory. It would discourage small scale, encourage blobbing. Ratting in 0.0 is one of the few things that small independent entities can do against local alliance wishes. Of course if it's too easy, then even the bots can do it, which is bad. So there needs to be a balance of difficulty, the new difficulty seems ok.
Salmeria Tovarsky Pharmaceuticals	Posted - 2011.02.16 02:51:00 - [22] Found a kaikka spawn and it was tanking two ishtars and a maelstrom with ease. Dropped some ok loot but nothing really that great.
Kitty McKitty Gallente Trillionaire High-Rollers Suicidal Bassoon Orkesta	Posted - 2011.02.16 03:45:00 - [23] You can still solo them. ~~~
Internet White Knight	Posted - 2011.02.16 03:52:00 - [24] Funny how nobody's willing to back up their statements with anything remotely resembling proof. I'm inclined to agree with kitty's guess, but solo them with what is the question?
Professor Villinghopper	Posted - 2011.02.16 04:24:00 - [25] Dropped a Lev on one earlier, died as soon as I locked it, still seems pretty easy to me.
Copine Callmeknau Kangaroos With Frickin Lazerbeams The KWFL Republic	Posted - 2011.02.16 05:05:00 - [26] Edited by: Copine Callmeknau on 16/02/2011 05:05:56 Originally by: Gaius BaItar Just found one in my tengu.

More time consuming != more difficult Until they add tackle to officer spawns, this is no more risky/difficult than a lvl 1 mish. Stunning EVE Online Theme for PS3
Schalac Caldari Apocalypse Reign	Posted - 2011.02.16 05:26:00 - [27] If officers are supposed to be pod pilots as well I want to see CCP piloting said officers in ships that would be set up for PVP with all of their mods they drop available and when you kill one you get a KM and their ship follows normal PVP drop rates. Also now that we have incursions officers should pop in high sec and low sec, take a small fleet to drop and warp out if you are not pointing them when they get to low health. Why should the leaders of pirate factions be easy to drop? SCHALAC HAS SPOKEN

m3rb3aSt Minmatar Tovarsky Pharmaceuticals Goonswarm Federation	Posted - 2011.02.16 06:15:00 - [29] Edited by: m3rb3aSt on 16/02/2011 06:26:27 Edited by: m3rb3aSt on 16/02/2011 06:24:11 No actual player can fit a ship that tanks like an officer. We have a raven, tengu, two ishtars, and a drake shooting it and we are barely scratching its shields. And this is for a kaikka spawn which is one of the weakest ones. They went from being about as tough as a 1.85m sp BS to being tough enough to warrent dropping a carrier on them.

Would be hilarious to see the spawn rate of officiers increase >:) Also give them long points.
