It is working as intended!!!! if you mean by screwing over people who have bought and trained for ship builds that use drones as there main damage dealer's or to get out of situtations when a frig is orbting them with a scram and theres nothing you can do when your drones get smeared over space the instant they deploy they are working as intended... Can i now have my skill points back and isk... iiiiaaaaaa think not. So come on dev put me right or explain to me how im wrong.
Yep that sounds about right, CCP once again working as intended. |

CCP superb job in the new expansion, the majority of the improvements are excelent but there's always room for improvement. Can i make the suggestion for keeping the respective ecm capabilities of the NPC's according to there regions and faction but instead of been perma cycles all the time, example been perma tracking disrupted by sansha npc's within sansha space all the time ,make it random as it was before but keeping the parameters of the new AI. The idea is to make it challenging for us to adquire ISK by ratting or missioning but not make it impossible if you're using turret based weapons. Please let us know if this idea is possible. Again superb job on the expansion, keep it up  |

I can understand the flag that delays a safe log out in space if you're really that lazy to dock at the nearest station, but the weapons timer? Come on. So, if you are gate camped and trying to escape, now you gotta jump around and hope you don't get shot at by someone else while trying to survive the 60 second timer.
Overall, I'd say the expansion is an EPIC fail besides the new ships changes. As long as you don't aggress, you're golden. Weapons timer (the 60 second stuck-in-space thing) only comes into play when YOU perform a hostile action. The 15 minute 'you can't log off safely' timer is also not new, just more obvious now. Not being able to safely log over NPC aggro is a mild cause for concern, but shouldn't be a game breaker.
Syri i dont think you understand the extent of this.
In addition to the problems youve overlooked i attempted to rep one of my other accounts in FW while it was being shot at by wartargets. I had to manually click off the button and window befor ei could start my armor rep cylces because /o\ oh no i might have my logi alt flagged towards its own wartargets.

A thought, shield compensation skills require you to have a hardener of some type fit to take effect, but sensor compensation doesn't apparently. OP much, it was already to the point that you needed a superspecced falcon to get any real jamming done, now you need at least two or its pointless. |

Can any Dev confirm whether there is anything in the works to add the new "Sounds" to the list of alarms we can toggle on or off (a la shield/armor/cap alarms)? I'd like to be able to turn those off without turning off all other UI sounds. |

New Non-Persistant Inventory....seriously?
This new version is less persistent than the old version while in space. Using the current version at a tower is brain bashingly annoying (unless you only work out of the first division, and only in single array).
Seriously, what happened to the very nice system that was on Bucky for the last couple weeks? Why is that not what we currently have on TQ? Everything i open in space places itself over the last inventory window i used...regardless of where i might move any of them to. Also getting very tired of opening any of my arrays only to have to continuously switch it back to the hanger i was just using the last time i accessed that array. That is the functional persistence that WAS there on Bucky, where did it go? And why was it removed?
Also, enough with all the little sounds for anything that might change...a new "you've changed grid" sound? Thats the only thing i can think of that might be causing the latest one that has started becoming annoying.
Are you even reading this CCP, i've only seen like 1 Dev response that i can even remember, and it was addressing where to find one of your well hidden (yet very useful and needed) buttons....

Congratulations to you, CCP, for accomplishing such a major roll-out with apparently few hiccups.
Some ideas readily came to mind after my first Tranquility experience with Retribution. They are as follows:
1) When looting a wreck, the contents of the wreck are shown. When those contents are removed and placed into the cargo hold of a capsuleer's ship, the User Interface changes to show the contents of the capsuleer's own cargo hold. Such behavior is inappropriate since the capsuleer will likely already have a window open showing the cargo hold contents. It would be preferable for the U.I. to do what the end user requested -not something else and not something extra. The U.I. should maintain focus on the contents of the wreck.
2)Placing a bounty on a non-criminal should be a criminal offense -resulting in a flagged status and security level reduction for the duration of the bounty.
3)I had just started getting used to the tree type navigation for accessing assets when this happened...
"....The icons for collapsing and expanding the Index Tree and Filters has been changed so that it is not confused with the Back and Forward buttons". Those icons were helpful. I did not find them confusing and would appreciate that functionality returned. The new inventory access system was confusing enough that I received a bounty on my head -apparently for asking how to access my stuff in Help Chat. (The in-game Eve Menu / Inventory link was the answer I received.)
4)When mining veldspar, I don't need the word "targeted" flashing at 50 cycles per second on the targeted rock in space. Using an older display with 60Hz back-lighting is bad enough. Oh, wait. You've fixed that already.
Thank you. |

EXPANSION ABOUT NERFS, Because Missiles were ok for 6 years now but now they're overpowered.
a.) PVE
1. All missile ships are now obsolete (very low range and decreased damage)
2. All Drone ships are now obsolete due to new AI (your drones get targeted as soon as you deploy them)
3. All ships that rely on drones for protection against frigates are obsolete
4. NPC's tracking disruptor now affects optimal range and falloff instead of just optimal range, which makes 800mm's minmatar ships obsolete in pve.
5. All npc complexes and ark missions are now insanely hard to do, you can't use drones
6. There are only few ships that can save you from mission if you loose all of your drones and get stuck (scrambled with npc agression).
7. New meta 9 - 14 drone modules are obsolete for pve, since ai will always shoot your drones.
8. If you use marauders or other ships for guristas missions you'll get perma jammed, there's nothing you can do since you can't use drones.
b). PVP
1. All Heavy Missile ships are now obsolete
2. Drake is worst battlecruiser for pvp
3. Hurricane got nerfed so it is kinda useless now
4. Tengu now sucks compared to other t-3's
5. Very hard to gank someone ratting in low sec or 0.0 with stealth bombers or frigate since npc's will switch targets
Oh your tears where the sweetest...
a). PVE
1. Clearly you didn't look at HAM's they're the **** now.
2. Agreed must admit drones are slightly ******.
3. More Drones, yada yada yada...
4. Really, I use a Tengu and Proteus and they're a piece of ****, fly a real ship.
6. That'll teach you not to fit a backup plan like a gun or something incase of that.
7. Officer fit PVP Dominix Navies?
8. Don't use marauders then?
b). PVP
1. That's why most of them have been adjusted to be more useful with other types of missiles, like HAM's, also HML's are still good.
2. The Drake is a pathetic piece of metal, most boring ship in eve.
3. Dude, fits 220's instead of 425's, you use 30 DPS and 1.8km range, OH DEAR HOW WILL YOU COPE.
4. Tengu is now not overpowered compared to the others big deal, BLASTERGU!
5. Your point is, you should have to consider things like that when going for a kill. |

Ok, finally turned off all UI sounds, thx ccp, now i have to have my alt on watch list instead of waiting for audio signal for shields.
(add option to remove the flag beeping totally, not just remove beeps from every 4 seconds to every 30ish seconds... ok I get it, its hard for you to admit you were wrong, but if so many people are complaining just admit it, its sh** sound, same goes for explosion, salvaging in noctis is like listening to sniper shots in very cheap bollywood movie)
Did few missions
Regarding drones, as a almost maxed machariel pilot (specs on IV, bs skills on IV, +6% damage implants, all cap/shield/gun support skills on V) this is my conclusion
I usually never used drones in machariel, from time to time used sentries
Frigates go for drones. Often.
My mach can go almost 600 m/s so I don't care, I can track and kill them at 15+ km and I can even outrun them or lower my traversal speed to hit them.
But then a scary though came to my mind. When I didn't have 3 billion machariel and 35 million skill points and was flying mere 200 million maelstorm in lvl 4 I had to warp out. Often warp out. I relied on those drones to kill scrammers asap so I can GTFO when sh** got serious.
Right now from what I saw, if you have 2-3 frigates you need to look closely on drones and recall them and deploy again multiple times. They might kill one and be fine, but when they start on 2nd one they get aggro and start going down fast. I could manage it perfectly fine after 2 years of game experience and fact that my mach tanked the battleships just fine so I haven't had to worry about him.
I can't imagine new players getting in their first battleships, going in LVL 4 mission, managing aggro, shields/armor rep, cap and drones at same time to get scrammers while they are still alive.
And now with switching targets you can't get more experienced player to take them in first time to show em hows its done since they might die anyways.
I couldn't care less about drones in missions. But what is too much is to much. You will loose many new player when they have to work to much do one mission and have that great risk when doing single mission. Also you can't expect level 4 missions to become new incursions where you need 2-3 buddies to run them.
So, NPC switching targets, yea why not, makes it interesting.
NPC going for drones, yea, why not, but not in this measure.
Fine tune it to disable afk missioning, for example IF the ship hasn't fired in 30 seconds on any other NPC THEN go for drones. Should eliminate AFK mission runners and still enable majority of players to actually use drones for frigates.
This is my opinion on it.
And yea, in case I forgot to mention it, here is solution what to do with FLAG buzzing noises.
Take them and save them to memory stick, make an digital desk watch, put in 30 watt 12 inch speaker on it turned to max with amplifier, upload the sound, set it to go off 5 times randomly in one minute and put it in the same room whose idea was to make it in first place.

I dont know if someone wrote this already...
I can edit the Shortcuts for drones in the options. Like "All drones engage..." on Shift+E but there is no shortcut for the new salvage drones like "All drones salvage..."
Its not realy an Issue so it goes in feedback. And it would be nice if the shortcut would go in the next patch  |

Perhaps it's time for CCP to remove drones and drone skills from the game and refund the skill-points so that they can be applied elsewhere. |

My Wholehearted opinion on NPC's attacking drones:
As an Ishtar pilot for many years, I have some issues with this. Its less of a problem because of sentry drones - and if frigates are around I just burn away until 40+ from all spawns, then stop ship and drop sentries to pop frigates.
What is a problem...Is the sentries are still getting '******' up. Essentially as SOON as I deploy my drones, all of the ships in the complex will target 1 drone. Ive got about 10 seconds to pull it in before it goes poof.
Here is my suggestion to fix this, and one of the reasons CCP make NPC's attack drones in the first place (I think) - Ratting Carriers (particularly botting carriers in true sec systems.
MAKE NPC's attack only fighters. This will still make it impossible for these bot ratting carriers ( carriers shouldn't be used in this manner honestly...its unbalanced).
There is no reason NPC's need to attack drones...ever - this is not "balancing" the game - infact it is going to probably force everyone to rat in sniper ships with the 100KM Jump drives... |

Something very important that you've overlooked here. A new player just starting out level 4 missions will not have the prior understanding that you have about what it means to run a level 4 mission. They don't know how hard or easy it may be. A new player should have learned that it's difficult to break frigate scrams in missions with drones.
The people that will be having the most trouble (and only those people) are the ones who just started running level 4 missions in the past couple months and haven't earned enough or skilled enough to get away easily. Unfortunately, those few losses may have to happen to result in a better game.
If you're not capable losing a ship and moving forward, you're not capable of playing EVE. |

Your initial post said nothing about the Safety system, just flags. Yes, RRing someone who is aggro'd will get you an aggro timer. It's been far too long that this has NOT been the case. Now we can actually kill alt-corp reppers in space (they can't dock anymore!), no more 0-risk station games with RR carriers, no more hot-swapping modules or ships at a carrier in the heat of battle (had one group refit racks of WCS' to be able to get out since we didn't have a bubbler on the field, once).
So, the "oh noes, you're gonna get flagged" wasn't a warning about being flagged, it was a warning about picking up the 60 second stuck-in-space timer. |

The revamp of audio for this expansion seems to have had 'change for the sake of change' as it's metric.
This important sensory aspect of EvE has been altered and imposed on the player, allowing very little modification aside from 'turn it off'.
The game experience is significantly different and for many it is not a good change.

I'm satisfied with most changes except for one: The new targeting. Seriously, I do not need red circles blocking 10% of my screen in order to see the rats. Especially if you are in an anom with LOTS of rats (haven), it gets especially horrible. Red circles blinking everywhere. Looks like a drug trip, seriously.
Please give us an option to turn these red circles off.

The change is purely cosmetic, changing the graphical asset from being two brackets << to being a triangle making it visually consistent with the triangles used in front of tabs. The two brackets are used to represent back and forward so we had to make the collapse one look different. That is all. It functions 100% the same as before and the placement is even the exact same.

Go into the EVE Menu at the top of the Neocom and look inside the category at the top called 'Inventory'. There you will find a group called 'Corporate hangar' which you can move to the Neocom root for easy access whenever you want.
