As things stand now, insta bookmarks is ONLY a pain in the ***.
As the ppl who dont have them is mostly new, instas is just an
unfair advantage for the older ppl (especially now that copying
bookmarks is laggier then blob fighting).
Can someone explain to me why we cant remove instas all together?
(meaning... make it impossible to make/use a bookmark closer then
100km from a gate or station).
ofc, we have to get a option for warping in at 2.5k instead.
(If the devs seriously means that traveling time isnt long enough,
this option can be sett to not work as "default", and therefore
cant work with autopilot)
I realy cant see that such a change would make ANY change to gameplay
other then for some bottomfeeding pirates who dont know how to kill
anyone who has instas (and they should realy smarten up anyway)
This would work ALOT better then the stupid "random jumpin" approach
that was tried on the test senter (and only resulted in ppl moving their
insta bookmarks some).

well, 7.5k would be a nerf to gameplay for those who have bookmarks,
while a 2.5k option would be a boost to those who dont have them
(and no change for those who have them)...
I know what I would prefere.

1) Instas create far too much overhead.
Remove instas, and make a skill that reduces the jump in range.
No point introducing a new skill, would only work as a time-sink,
as everyone would have to learn it

Bm's at a gate could give a tactical advantage in fleet battle.
Its needed for good fighting as it is now. If you delete the bm's at gate 80% of the tactics used in battle wont work...
So youre saying that ppl in a fleet cant
warp to a gate withouth a bookmark?????
Please enlighten me... seriously, im curious

No hes saying that fleets use bms near gates that are NOT bookmarks. (edit : i mean not instas)
You mean bookmarks near a gate thats NOT an insta? That make sense... Ok, just make the
"no bookmark zone" to be only 5km or somthing... fixed

Yes, but then you have a simple ability to insta to every gate, and afk instas. Neither of which are desireable.
Im still rather new so dont shoot me for this question. What is wrong with afk instas? Wouldnt that mean the player has to come back to keyboard from afk sooner?
Not to be rude or anything, but designing the system to reward people who are present but picking there nose as compared to someone who multitasks just seems odd.
Agreed, i cant see why not aither...
Also, i did state that a new warpin point can simply be set to
NOT work as "default/autopilot" if the devs so wanted

Um bookmarks are made behind the gate more then 5 km out... there would have to be some sort of warp bubble around the gate to sstop bookmark use.
"no bookmark zone" was a bitt to generic... what i meant was that it would
be easy to check when you try to activate warp if it ends inside a
"no warp zone", and therefore you can stop the warp before starting.
