As long as there is ISK in high-sec exploration, older players with SP and ISK are going to farm the sites. If they can't use T3 ships, they'll just use faction fit T2 or pirate cruisers and you're back where you started, except the problem will be Gilas and Ishtars instead of Tengus.
Banning T3s from high-sec sites is just treating the symptoms instead of the cause.
I agree with the change though, it's silly to put them in the same restriction category as T1 cruisers. |

I like when folks who have hardly played have new and exciting ideas for changes to the game.
Let's make it even easier in high-sec! |

Suggesting that your idea would change "the whole dynamic" of exploration is probably the most arrogant thing I've read today. It would have zero impact on "the dynamic" of anything. It would change which ships older pilots use to blow through these sites at a breakneck pace, but I doubt that would be much comfort to the people trying to clear them in their meta-fit T1 cruisers. |

The dynamics of exploration were fundamentally changed when the current scanning mechanic was introduced along with wormholes. It made scanning much more simple and quicker to do. Wormholes added content and CCP has tweaked it, like revamping 4/10GÇÖs. Exploration used to be a niche career. It was still hit or miss, jackpot oriented, but required more dedication and fewer players were doing it.
In the previous mechanic finding a good site was a matter of patience and persistence. In the current mechanic finding a good site is simply a matter of luck and timing; that is, have you stumbled upon a site before the multitude of other explorers have found it. In the previous mechanic you dropped multi-spec probes and knew right away what kind of sites were in the system, and could target a specific type, but then usually had to spend lots of time to nail it down. In the current mechanic you spend time moving from system to system until you stumble across a site, which can be scanned very quickly.
How do you fix it? Does it even need fixing? I donGÇÖt know. I do know I explore much less than I used to, and exploration was once my bread and butter. Perhaps my focus has changed because as a player I have evolved and moved into different areas.

I was feeling disgustipated this morning. It was a brief post more geared towards shock. My apologies if I offended. Not sure what my age has to do with it however, if I've been scanning for 2 months not much to it...considering im flying. Imicus w/frig 5 and all the scan bells n whistles (no dsp) with my faction geared T1 alt following. Its become ridiculous lately. If I see a tengu in system, I know to just move on to the next... something has to change I feel- since the explore profession has been introduced I am wondering if the scan sites have been added to compliment the now over abundance of scanners. Also, as it stands I don't feel the mechanics of allowing t3 and t1 into the same site works well or plays fairly for the newer players . so in closing, more sites geared for particular level of ships...t1,2,3 ...that would be swell.

Discussed in another thread - yes i think it is out of whack when you see what rewards you can pull in, but the problem is not 'tengus', but too easy scanning. |

Actually, the problem is overcrowding of high-sec. Come out to null and there are better sites, less competition, and tbh less risk as you know who to be wary of. |

the problem is and, is not overcrowding of hi-sec. and this is also not a personal problem as someone posted. I also understand those with t3's resentment of my statements. the problem is ultimately lack of content for the growth of the explorer profession due to dynamics possible unforeseen when this profession was developed and born.
What I have proposed is simple and quite logical. Perhaps those running systems with their DSP 70% advantages and t3's racing for the overseer, looting and being on their merry way wont agree with me, of course they wont. Just as similarly, me at such a disadvantage will not agree with them.
What is wrong with adding more content geared towards individualized ships? Its human for those at the top to say everything is just fine as is. as well as to berate the person, with so few SP who suggests such blasphemy.
I want to explore. I also want to run combat plexes that have a chance at juicy prizes. In the relative safety of hi sec. Those have become very very rare for me these days.(as luck alone would have it? no, not just luck there are other factors) As such the lowly player i am, I can scan down 5 sigs to 100 as fast as the best of em. But here I am still at a disadvantage due to other factors.
I personally think I bring truths to the discussion. I see no negative arguments thus far as to why more specialized and individualized content cannot be added to a great dynamic of this game. I simply see the usual SP ego warriors at work here.
Or how about this- make every damn signature in the game truly random, dynamically so. That would be just as fine with me as well. As exploration stands now, luck plays less of a roll than what ship you fly. No bueno. |

Nulls sec is better off course...but wait u need a s*** load of SP to do some sites in there (combat ones).
U know CCP can always change the ships allowed through acceleration gates...they can make high sec combat site to allow only t1 ships if they wanted...but since 90% of the high sec explorers are ultra carebears with tech 3 or tech 2 who never leave high sec and 10% explorers , like my self, who are restricted to high sec combat sites because of low SP not because we don`t wanna go to low/null.
BTW low sec exploration is way better then high sec...been doing some low sec mag/radar sites ..can`t wait for my skills to get better to start the combat one.

So, you are adverse to doing anything to earn these goodies and think CCP should hand feed you increased payouts in what is already a pretty lucrative activity unless you're a complete idiot?
-Do you bother to find systems that are less frequented by other explorers? if you want to scan around Jita, you can expect fierce competition - get off your lazy a$$ and find some better places to explore. I've lived in 3/4 faction spaces and had no trouble identifying systems that were more worth my time than others in each of them.
-You want the safety of hisec. In Eve there are upsides and downsides with every decision. You choose to stay in hisec, you choose to deal with increased competition and lower payouts that come with it. Grow a pair, lowsec is readily accessible to all and much less traveled by explorers.
-Do you really think banning T3's from sites will deter the more experienced explorers from running those sites better,faster,smarter than you anyway? Good luck with that....crap idea
-Want to get rid of T3's in hisec? Easy answer is to nerf the drops there and/or buff the lowsec drops. If the value proposition and risk:reward clearly favor lowsec, people will go there. I like this option, as hisec payouts are way too high and confusing nubs into thinking they should be entitled to rare drops every other system, with no risk.
-Low SP does not preclude anyone from venturing into lowsec...especially if you're only looking for PVE....lame excuse
TLDR....do some research, find better places to scan...htfu |

My caracal with T1 light missiles beats tengus through 3/10s 100% of the time. I've literally never been beaten through a 3/10, even when there was two of them and one of me.
4/10s, tengus do do better than a drake, but they should, they cost a lot more, are pimped a lot more, and require a lot more SP. |

You don't actually know what you're whining about. You think it's t3s, but once they're banned, it'll be something else. The issue is too many ppl in highsec chasing after too few plex. Someone else will get it first, period.

fail explorers are still fail explorers...this will not fix the "issue" at all. This is an even worse idea than the OP. This would just result in threads from the same people asking "why are the XXX mod i got from my local ded variant worth half what they were?" A change like this would need to either be accompanied by a nerf to the drops or the market will simply autocorrect and we'll end up will more drops that are worth the same total amount anyway.
To address the OP's issue, you need to find a way to attract a good number of HS explorers elsewhere. nerfing ded 3's & 4's would be a good place to start, though I'm disinclined to make changes to a game with the soul purpose of supporting players who do not want to put any work in or make any tradeoffs. |

You think High-sec exploration sux? You should really try out a radar or mag in c3/c4 wormholes and see how are those, its way less than you make from HS exploration, with a lot more SP needed, and a lot more dangerous....
I do think that nerfing 3/10 and 4/10 but increasing the number of k-space sigs will solve the issue instead of banning one type of ship, which btw are not the best ones if you want to contest a site. |

DSP's are a bigger problem then T3's, it's way to easy to jump from system to system and hand pick sites without much scanning. Force people to actually spend time scanning, and let them fly the ships they trained fore. I'm a relatively respectable citizen. Multiple felon perhaps, but certainly not dangerous. |

No - they aren't.
I would drop 1x32 probe per planet cluster without them anyway, and get largely the same info by offsetting the probes from the clusters to level out the signals. And I would be just screamingly angry at having to press the stupid launch button 4-7x per system and wait out its stupid delay, which is why I trained dsps for. The dsps's themselves are convenient and easily explained to a halfwit, they are not critical.
I ran an expanded launcher battlecruiser fit for something different last night, which has the constraining problem of forcing me to find ded4s, watches or vigils. I found 2 watches - ignored them, ignored locking down the vigils and locked down some 15 sites of appropriate sig str, none of which was a GSO, over 70 or so systems.. Including some course reversals to let me back out of dead ends etc, that was probably 100 warps and jumps without a positive hit for what I was after. ie dsps also do not prevent the RNG signature monkey joining the loot fairy in mocking individual players, if they feel like being capricious. |

whatever. still think more individualized content should be added. a site for T3's that actually make the carebear t3 work is a great solution. a different site for T2's, as hard as some missions- with of course juicy rewards as well. yet another complex found throughout the explore mechanism that caters to T1's. let drakes battle drakes let tengus battle legions and so forth.
Its not a bad suggestion for some people to get all worked up over. me personally? since the two months ive been scanning ive accumulated 2.5 billion, give or take in juicy loots. but also yesterday, angel cartel...i killed the boss a tengu raced to my loot, stole and warped out. i should have kill rights on such a thief. but i digress-
I mean honestly. More content, individualized content? How can that be a bad thing? please, dont try and call me fail, newb, move on to different spaces. Im not stupid. JUst suggesting ideas to improve a great dynamic of this game. |

it is not a lack of content, it is an overcrowding problem in one particular area.
there are shitloads of sites that are never probed down in low and null.
like everything in eve, if you want the more rewarding things, you have to put yourself at risk, in low, there are more sites, of better quality, which pop better loot.
the highsec shouldn't be a staying place, it is a nursery, made to teach the game mechanics.
there is already enought cash incomes in high sec vs low and null.
and the sigs spawn random already, and their respective content is also random.
i live in low, run bazillons sig there, and make very good money, with sometimes loot worth 300 to 500M a piece even if lately, except the awesome loots, the "regular loot" (datacores / decryptor and stuff) has dropped in quantity

You are right, using T3s in high sec is overkill, but if they wanna use their billion ships for that is their problem.
Find systems with less people and explorers (yes, such systems still exist), you could even try low sec, I assure you low sec is not that dangerous and more profitable and exciting than high...!!! |
