They only last for 2 hours you dunderhead. How on earth are you going to fill a system with 100 before their timer expires.

The cost doesn't matter. Corporations and alliances will manage to keep a number of MSI always up in their home and farming systems. is not like each ratter have to place an MSI in each belt; you place an MSI for each belt and ALL your ratters and miners gain safety.

This (added to the other usual safety tools like godlike intel from local, bubbles and so on) will allow to run 24/7 safe areas.

From the eye of a hisec pirate, why is it everything CCP does these days seems to be about making hisec carebears safer, and nerfing non-consensual pew in hisec?

Now the little bears in mission pockets can get an extra layer of protection from pirate scan-downs, the pirate having to warp into the pocket to see whats actually there -- then the little bear can agress and micro jump about the field to his hearts content while sniping and avoiding tackle without a cooldown?

A sad day for non-consensual pew in hisec. -1 CCP.

p.s.
Reduce the structure hit points on existing modules like the tractor unit for christs sake, make it feasible to warp into a pocket and blap one before a bear can recover it. Or again, is it all about carebear love CCP?

Anyone can use them.

Fun fact for everyone: all these structures are also warp-to-able-by-everyone (is there a better term for this?), like wrecks or other space junk.

About "Mobile Scan Inhibitor" i see this coming:

A large group of carebear in their system gonna just put as much as possible MSI in their system (Belt, Random safe in space) to discourage pirate from search them you gonna just help those who make pve all the time and reduce the interaction beetween player even more.

The ONLY way to prevent sutch behaviour is to make the MSI expensive enough (50M / 150M)

everytime ccp makes a post,solo pvp dies a little.

example : Mobile Scan Inhibitor

you are a solo vagabond trying to kill a drake of a ibis,irelevant.you check scan and bam nothing.but just 1000km of grid there 1000 people in ibises hiding waiting for a warp in you.i`m just saying.

You would engage a Drake solo with 1000 bad guys showing up in local?

The MSI would be so, so hard to balance anywhere between utterly broken and totally useless, and either way it's going to make people less inclined to actually fight.

Really... CCP should be wondering if it's worth it at all for what it will add. I don't think it is.

Anything that makes the already laughably easy life of an NPCer easy is out of the gate a bad idea. They're hard enough to catch, if they want safety they go to high sec, if they want riches and danger, 0.0, but safe riches and danger is dumb, so the MSI is bad, because if you think cost will prohibit these from being used in broken ******** ways to make NPCing easy then I'd like to sell you a bridge.


MMJD is bad, the ships using it get something for nothing, they suffer no penalties and make no fitting concessions to gain the ability to MJD. Coupled with the fact that it instantly obsoletes the LMJD module because why ever bother fitting one if you can just drop this thing and get it done?


Scrap both mods, they're garbage.

Holy **** it's Grath and I'm agreeing with him.

It takes a truly horrific idea to bring together people this different against it.

I've engaged a Drake solo with 50 bad guys in local. I wouldn't think that's a reasonable thing to do with 5 of these DSIs on scan.

So many delicious pirate tears in this thread.

EVE is supposed to be a harsh environment, why should it not be so for aggressors? They have had it far too easy for far too long.

These are excellent ideas that will add much needed balance to the game. We know you are angry because EVE got a little harder for you. Adapt or die.

The Scan Inhibitor is paradigm shifting, and not in a good way. This thing is going to do nothing but promote even more blob warfare, and make already cautious or risk averse players even moreso. This particular flavor of one-way intel is, frankly, bullshit. The only way that these things could be remotely considered balanced is if the inhibitor effect was applied to any ships inside the AOE, rendering their d-scan useless, and preventing their ability to target when within the module's 'field,' just as when one is inside a POS forcefield.

Yes, because this will only make things harder for pirates. It has absolutely no effect on people trying to get decent WH PvP or trying to find actual fights in faction warfare.

And I am obviously a pirate.
