Some of the frigates are unable to deal dps, eg. the helios only have 2 high slots which are used for cloak and probe launcher, and you probably can't kill a cruiser with the one drone it's able to use.
Which means the T3 really is the only viable option, and most people flying something expensive around low/null use a cloaked scout.
CCP just needs to give a virus bonus to force recons or create a new class of t2 exploration cruisers.

Not as profitable as it used to. And your view might be a little skewed because you're in Sansha space from what i gathered. You get the intact armor plates which are still valued ok'ish despite market crash.
Quote:and i like the idea that some week old newbie can take the chance, buy a frigate go to null and maybe make a fortune, if he makes it back alive.
Can still do that only risk/reward is in a more appropriate balance.
Quote:That is more in the spirit of exploration then the older players having a monopoly on null sec exploration, because it require the skillpoint, knowledge and isk to safely fly a T3 around null.
Old players don't have a monopoly. You can skill capable enough alt for profession sites (t3 + probe skills+hacking skills+some other basics) in about half year. Which isn't too much to asked for to exploit the riches from these sites. Plus you can assist someone else in the meantime as the sites are now made for group play or start in hisec, low sec which isn't too much to asked for either.
Quote:Besides many of the explorers flying frigates around null can fly better ship, there is just no reason to do it, you can buy a lot of covert ops for the price of a T3. You would not make a lot more isk by adding rats to the sites, you would just see more of the bigger ships.
Which would be a good thing in itself.

The single required fix:
Remove ability to cargo scan the cans. |

Also a last minute idea:
depending how better you hack slow down spawn container speed and incerase their live.
Example:
you hack a can with 1% remaining virus coherence - maximum speed in spawing conteiner spread and shortest live
you hack with 90%+ coherence left then spawn containers stand still and dont disappear
This will also have the advantage of making the puzzle more clever: so you have to better use your resources!

Just had this idea. What do you think?
Virus strenght bonus is removed from all ships. Instead a new set of rigs is introduced. t1 has +5 strenght and coherence, t2 has +15 strenght and coherence (tweak high end sites a bit accordingly). The t2 rigs use great deal of t2 salvage and the bpc's only spawn in the sites occasionaly. This means, you can still run sites in nullsec just fine in cov ops or any ship really but have to invest quite a bit to do so efficiently. Target price i would say should be in the region of 100m+ for small and 250m+ per medium t2 rig.
I think this would have several pros. It creates a lot of new demand for t2 salvage directly from the exploration community for the exploration community. Cheap frigs in null would be a thing of the past but sites can remain as they are with no rats.
Since rigs don't drop when a ship gets destroyed it also serves as a nice sink for the oversupply and helps to keep prices stable.
Hunters can salvage the wrecks tho and regain some of that salvage, right? So that's an additional incentive to hunt explorers because you know with almost certainty they are juicy targets in nullsec. So while the sites per se arn't dangerous more danger should come from other players.
The new bpc's would serve as a little extra income to offset the crashed decryptor market (have them spawn in data sites). |
