Because ghost sites are time-sensitive and have their own mechanics that wouldn't mesh well with loot spew?

Dev Blogs, bro.

But as for the non sarcastic answer: They are hybrid combat/exploration site, that gives the materials and blueprints for the warp speed implants but blows up if you take too long, damaging your ship, then summoning rats without a bounty to try and kill you.

All in all, fairly dynamic.

I actually really, really hope this one doesn't happen. I know it probably will, but bleh.

Ghost sites need a mechanic like that to help make them something harder than the other exploration sites we have now.

I'm one of them weird ones im looking forward to screaming "move ya slow prile ah shizzle" at my screen when i try move my barge lol

Yeah but err ppl moan things get nerfed i guess, im used to it no matter what game im playing someone somewhere moans about something loud and long enough until its nerfed to the ground an tbh its norm a game killer for me but im new here so i dont know what sort of nerfs go into eve an why so i cant rightly comment on if there fair or not, the ghost sites though,just going by the trailer video, should stay exactly as they are with all the risk involved, eve = risk no matter where you are in it to take away the risk is to take away what is for me the core element to the game

I predict 2 new SoE ships, warp speed changes, marauders and bastion modules, nullified interceptors, and new modular deployable structures.

Do I win something?

Anybody have any predictions for Rubicon they want to get on the record so that you can give a proper "I told you so" hereafter?

My own are:


2) the ghost sites will be nerfed/altered to eliminate the self destruct timer once carebears start complaining about the unfairness of a hidden timer which destroys their ships without regard to the skill of the player, and which can be "abused" for tears in highsec.
