Take a god damn good look at the sov system in 0.0. Thats what you need to do. Passing 7 days to conquer a single system shooting Defender SBU's, IHUB's, TCU's, Stations (at least) to be able to claim a single system is ********. In Rubicon 1.0 you added 3 more structures and now you are preparing 3 more...
In fairness, I think the mobile siphon unit, the mobile depot, and the mobile cyno inhibitor are excellent additions to the game.
I also thing the Mobile Micro Jump Drive is reasonable (although they actually asked and are working on feedback there). I think the ESS could be an excellent addition to the game, but it needs some serious tweaking! (i.e. increase the access time + drop time to 6-10 minutes, so the locals can actually form up and defend it! Additionally, increase its payout so its truly beneficial to utilize!).

The idea, while good in theory, offers not many rewards or incentives to utilize it. CCP should be trying to increase the income being generated by nullsec to get more targets out there to be poached by nullsec roamers. |

Yeah tbh I'm not complaining about those but this ESS... arrgghh people pass their time saying 0.0 is empty (AND IT IS!) and then what CCP proposes... the ESS... aka nerf income from the 0.0 base grunts... you actually want people to go from Empire to 0.0 not the contrary...

Is ESS some kind of attempt to introduce prisoner's dilemma to 0.0?
As I see it this thing will be only used by ratters in some ass end of nowhere space. It certainly will not be used in any space that has high pvp activity, as it makes easy target for roamers and hotdroppers, with added bonus for them of stealing part of ratter's income just before blowing up his 30m structure. Talk about adding insult to injury.
Similarly it is unlikely to be used in NRDS space as random mixture of neutral or loosely affiliated corps and alliances living together is generally unsuitable for creation of tightly enforced social contract necessary for this structure to generate any income benefit.
BTW those two things essentially mean anybody living in Providence just got his ratting bounty income cut by 5% or more. Thank you CCP.
But as wheel of fortune turns and people living in dangerous space get their GÇ£just rewordGÇ¥ for their fortune, so do all those downtrodden carrier rating deep nulsec people that newer get enjoy wonders of random hotdropps get their well deserved 5% income boost, because if anyone needs it it is them. Excellent game design CCP, truly ingenious.

Rubicon 1.0 - Interceptors online Rubicon 1.1 - WTF???
What ever happened to iteration? You know, the process of rolling out small changes, observing their impact on the game, then iterating on those changes for the better of the game. It may sound like I'm jumping on the band-wagon here, but I genuinely have to ask this after reading that dev blog: Do you even play this game!? The answer is self-evident.
This is literally pants-on-head ********. No metaphor involved here, people. The only way I can justify this 'idea' making it as far as a dev blog is to imagine team superfriends derping around the frozen tundra in their long-johns, pant-tails flapping wildly in the breeze.
What in the holy hell were you thinking? Is this the idea the CSM shot down at the summit? If yes, why the **** would you bring back such a fundamentally flawed disaster? If no, what could you possibly have come up with that deserved to be shot down more than this?
This is as constructive as my criticism is going to get on this one: Don't ******* do it!

CCP Phantom wrote:Interacting with the ESS will allow you then to cash in the collected bounties in form of tags which can be sold to the Empires. You can choose to take all the bounties for yourself or share the bounties amongst every contributor.
A couple of questions around exactly how this will work:
- If the ISK is distributed in the form of tokens that can be traded for cash, how does a contributing player actually receive the token? Obviously, not all players can be present to pick up said tokens, so is it placed in their hangar in a nearby station (determined how?) or what?
- Exactly how is the token bought by the Empires? Is it buy orders in certain stations (which will therefore attract sales tax), or are they redeemed in loyalty point stores.
- Can ESS tokens be traded on the market like any other commodity?
It seems like an interesting content generator |

I say, this has to be one of the worst ideas i have ever seen someone come up with.
1st - It said that this will generate a notification for anyone (even cloaked) that gets in range of the ESS. I thought it's been said multiple times that there will not be something developed that will locate cloaked ships. Also what is the reason to even put a bubble on this structure if the base idea for it is to boost/nerf income?
So now we have a deployable that can detect cloaked ships as well as bubble them?
And for that matter what if you do decide to try and set a trap at one of these? You can't do it with a hostile in system because they will be notified who has shown up at the ESS. Could we please include a deployable that notifies the rest of the system who is afk too by sending a message on anyone who has not pressed a key in the past 5 min?
2nd - It is said that if the ESS is removed and the bounties are not collected then a new ESS can be dropped where the process can continue and old bounties can then be paid out. Ummmm..... Doesn't the server have enough issues with lag and tidi these days? So what will happen when it now has to be calculated who currently has share in the pool and if an ESS is killed that data is still being processed?
3rd - So there is going to be a 5% reduction in bounties paid out in all of null as the new standard and when placing an ESS it reduces it by 20% from what it currently is..... Then the factions are going to pick up the 20-25% of payments after X amount of npcs are killed. The background (or so called lore) to this makes no sense what so ever. Why would a faction have any reason to want to make up for concord's short fall?
4th - Interceptors. Nuff said. I |

Make the cut on base rat bounty 80% not 95% Eve is filled with way to many math geniuses (why is that I dont read about you guys solving navier stokes millennium challenge, or being like me and deducing relativity from Pythagorean theorem? Shameless plug for live events channel) to realize 10% punctuated != 15% continuous lost Therefore you need to make this a better choice either by dropping rat bounties to 80% or letting the max cap be 110%
Or for real EVE style, all bounties are processed through this deployable and every bounty is in ISK tags with the cargo reusing the POCO code to allow someone's tags to be held separate... OK I am laughing typing about the benevolence bit.
Also for the polymers is it stuff purchased now gets increased or only the post patch stuff? IE I have 1 polymer it gets made into 100 and all orders on market adjusted so that I cant immediately sell my 99 for pure profit? |

RATTING WITH AN E.S.S.
-Risk- 1] PVP gangs 2] Hot-droppers 3] Cloaky campers 4] Rats (once in a blue moon) 5] 20%-25% of generated ratting isk 5] ANYONE can access the ESS... At any time... (like when I'm sleeping, or at work, or making dinner. You know the other 16-22 hours of the day) 6] You have to let the isk build up to get more than 20%, which gives others more time to steal from you. 7] If you remove isk, the 0-5% of ratting isk is not generated anymore. (For the time being)
-Reward- 1] The possibility of 5-10% more of generated ratting isk (compared to not using an E.S.S.)

A lot of people seem to be missing the point of these.
1) There is NOTHING mandating you put these up! You can simply sacrifice 5% of your income. Ohnoes!!! Now you're making 57m/hour not 60m/hour! The end is nigh, unsubscribe!
2) Have a cloaky alt camp the ESS if you put one up. When an inty comes to try to steal your hard earned cash, kill it! It takes 40 seconds to redeem the tags from the ESS, so you have PLENTY of time to chase off or kill a stationary (or at least super low transversal) inty!
3) ITS A CONFLICT DRIVER! QUIT WHINING!!! Now when you're out roaming drop one of these things and the local carebears can't rat away in anoms until they kill it! If they run anoms you can just steal 20% of their income. If they try to kill it, CONGRATULATIONS, YOU JUST GOT A FIGHT. Additionally, the automatic defensive bubble prevents kiting gangs from coming in at 100km, they start out at 15km away, just like on a gate, giving you a chance to catch something.
I wish we had these in nullsec when I lived there, a three hour roam would end with only killing a cyno-noobship and a whole lot **** talk in local. How much herp could a herp derp derp if a herp derp could herp derp. |

Ok. As part of the new expansion, you must now send me 5% of everything you earn, on every account, and everyone in your corp, and your alliance, and your renters, and your pvpers looking to buy new ships.

1) Exactly and that is why no one will use this other than roaming gangs.
2) You must have missed the part where it will notify everyone in system that someone is camping the ESS.
3) Because so many people rat while there is a hostile in system..... Oh yeah right. |

can we expect to see a set of faction items for rogue drones? no, of course not, that would be adding content. everything about drone space sucks compared to any other region including high sec and you make it even harder to earn a living?
who's friends are you, exactly?
There is nothing left handed about this nerf to Drones. I wrote about how the MTU was a left handed nerf to Drones, since without loot drops, the unit is mostly useless for ratting in Drones. Relative to anywhere else in Eve, adding the MTU has devalued an already resource poor area. This is a straight up nerf to Drone Regions, disproportional to how it will effect ratting in all other regions.
99.9% of ratting income in Drones comes off of bounties, with some few bothering to collect the fairly bad salvage. In any other region, 10-20% additional income can be pulled out of basic rat loot outside of bounties, with exceptional officer mods adding considerably greater proportionally to that value. This ESS will not negatively effect this 'bonus, harvestable' income, and there will be plenty living outside of Drones who will promptly say "No thanks, will just work just fine without one."
For all Drone Region inhabitants, this will just be a nerf. It will be straight up 5% off the top in an already difficult place to live, or it will be a massive headache to just break even, much less benefit from.
Will someone from CCP explain how to justify the DISPROPORTIONAL effect this will have on one particular sector of space? At the very least, explain why it is acceptable to continue introducing 'content' that is bad for the LAST 'new' K-space added to Eve? The Drone Regions at the absolute least must have loot tables reintroduced to balance the years of neglect and negative content development seen for pretty much all of the East of New Eden.

1) There is NOTHING mandating you put these up! You can simply sacrifice 5% of your income. Ohnoes!!! Now you're making 57m/hour not 60m/hour! The end is nigh, unsubscribe!
2) Have a cloaky alt camp the ESS if you put one up. When an inty comes to try to steal your hard earned cash, kill it! It takes 40 seconds to redeem the tags from the ESS, so you have PLENTY of time to chase off or kill a stationary (or at least super low transversal) inty!
3) ITS A CONFLICT DRIVER! QUIT WHINING!!! Now when you're out roaming drop one of these things and the local carebears can't rat away in anoms until they kill it! If they run anoms you can just steal 20% of their income. If they try to kill it, CONGRATULATIONS, YOU JUST GOT A FIGHT. Additionally, the automatic defensive bubble prevents kiting gangs from coming in at 100km, they start out at 15km away, just like on a gate, giving you a chance to catch something.
I wish we had these in nullsec when I lived there, a three hour roam would end with only killing a cyno-noobship and a whole lot **** talk in local. Ok. As part of the new expansion, you must now send me 5% of everything you earn, on every account, and everyone in your corp, and your alliance, and your renters, and your pvpers looking to buy new ships. (Ohnoes!! Now you're making 57m/hour not 60mil/hour!) If it means I can force a fight in any given nullsec system you got a deal. People are forgetting this allows roaming gangs to force fights! Or the ratters just , I donno, log?
Congrats on ruining 50 guys' evening of ratting. Pass go, collect tears.
If its a big alliance's (is there any other kind of alliance?) home system then odds are you'll get a fight. How much herp could a herp derp derp if a herp derp could herp derp. |
