CCP,
You want to make exploration a profession? Well, it kind of was already was no? However, your system of taking all the rats out, except WH's (and thank you for at least that ) has the effect of negating a big part of any profession. That part is progression. Increasingly more difficult rats in sites meant you needed better ships to do them in. More SP. Now you can run it all in a covops. Too little risk for too much reward. Nothing to really look forward to over time. It will get stale quickly. Great for new players perhaps...at the expense of your tried and true stalwart subscribers. And over time, those new guys will get bored with it.
I guess the mini-game is here to say, though I would have been much happier with you guys just building a bunch of new cool sites to go out and find, or maybe some kind of uber dangerous WH space that has no moons, no planets, nothing but deadly sites to run. I don't know, like stuff to..... explore. It would be nice if you guys filled out some of the loot table and created a whole new bunch of faction drone stuff as many of the non-rated drone sites are currently not worth doing.
I mean we have all these new cool drone damage amplifiers --- why not some other meta versions? Same for the other mods.
How about meta versions for the ASB's, MJD, etc etc etc. There is a lot of content you could just add to exploration and it would have been very fun. What sucks is repetition and too few sites. I would prefer more sites, even at less individual reward, but with much more variety. There are a lot of super hard non-rated sites that have crap loot though they are harder than some 10/10's though respectively lower rated. Some balancing of combat sites as some are WAY harder --- like neuting blood raiders are in some sites much harder than say many Angel sites (and certainly no corresponding increase in reward.) How about more escalation that you know...actually escalate. In null sec these come with some HUGE risk to run (well, at least in NPC null, I guess not in care bear null.) Would love to do more of those...but often not worth the squeeze.
All it needed was more content, new mods, make drones worth doing, and some new space...some cool uber dangerous.. unlivable WH space to explore.
Not a mini-game and a horrible, terrible, annoyingly bad twitch grab the can game.
