ok, ccp... ten pages (so far!) of piwates and nrds getting together and saying the same thing? and nothing from you guys? sigh...
yeah, i understand you wanted to fold the statics into the near-defunct exploration profession. fine. good use for the new exploration frigs. i get that.
but as many have pointed out before my arrival, low-sec pvp is taking a hit with this change. esp low-sec-frig pvp. we tend to rely on that beacon on our overview as a nice convenient place to go looking for a fight that is somewhere in the neighborhood of 'fair.' calling out on local "meetcha at 5-5, dood, i'll fight ya there" is nothing more than a blob invite.
so, not being one to complain without a suggestion for fixing things, here goes...
1. go ahead and wrap the 1 and 2/10's into the exploration side. your work there is done. gratz
2. put back the acceleration gates that used to be in the low-sec pvp hubs. you can label them 'damaged' or whatnot, but have them throttle ship size like we're used to, but when a ship goes thru, it dumps you into a near-random location (so the landing zone cant be camped) in a near-empty deadspace. add some eye-candy; an old derelict station with no collision bubble (so an approximation of station games dont happen here too), some old ship debris, some random spawning cans for the 'hey, what's in there?' factor, maybe a few high ranking faction rats... the possibilities are endless! and look! you've just created a low-sec thunderdome!
3. seed these thunderdomes all over low-sec! lore-wise they can be newly discovered faction training grounds, doesnt make much difference, yknow...
yes, i know building these assets take time, and as a fairly-incompetent coder i know the'll take work... but ive been careful to suggest nothing that doesnt already exist in new eden... it just doesnt exist in this combination.
please, just figure something out. throwing a bone to the explorers is great. just dont jack us up in the process.
