So by making this deployable's mechanics as complex as it currently seems, they try to make it look 'justified'.
Thus the concept of 'shaking things up' with this device, is just a ruse to hide/justify an isk nerf, thus forcing more subs than plex use.
Could be, could be not... still a dumb-a$$ idea to release this.
You do realize they make FAR more money off plex than subs, right? Subs are between $9.95/mo and $14.95 a month. Plex are 19.95 for a month or $34.95 for a 2 month GTC. Either way it's far more money for CCP than subs are..
Your logic fails.

It's bubbled, ffs, that's awesome. with a delay in how quickly I can get isk. So interceptor and nullified T3 advantage is reduced.
Wrong... you can warp in, trigger the timer, warp out... then warp back 40 seconds later, scoop the can, and warp off again. There is almost ZERO risk to someone ninjaing the isk in a nullified ship (ceptor/t3). We tested it on SISI last night.
Quote:This does not work for Renters. Renters get to suck it. Renting without an ESS is vulnerable to a cloaky scab who drops an ESS to steal your ratting income. They camp with a cov-cyno and the renter is literally powerless no matter who dropped the ESS.
Flaw in your logic: Most renters safe up the second a neut hits local. They don't continue ratting so dropping an ESS while you're in system gains you absolutely nothing. In the rare situations where renters who continue to rat but pull backup would simply warp snipers in (remember you can just use a cloaky nullified T3 to make a fast bookmark for snipers to warp to so the bubble is useless, nuke the ESS from range, and laugh at the cloaky cyno guy wasting his isk on a module that gave him no benefit.
