it's not a counter if a better solution is to not use an ESS and put the "counter" in another ratting ship. that just illustrates how bad the idea is.
the counter is to not use an ESS at all. |

maybe they should have let players build stargates to new places before beating them out of null with the nerf bat... |

something that will never be used is a great idea? sorry, what? |

Is 150mil an hour in assaults and hq's? In vanguards that'd be about 2.5 min a site if I'm not mistaken.
hq's certainly, that's what most communities run these days. |

Well, high sec has wardecs, ganking, trading, duels, ways to make good isk in relative saftey, and it's right next to low sec, all the things that I enjoy. Now I'm thinking of moving back. Damn, maybe you guys have a point.
i quite frankly would rather you all buggered off and stayed in null, less competition for fleet spots in high sec incursions. *shrug* but, that doesn't stop the ESS being terrible and the 5% bounty nerf being so far unjustified. |

who are you going to shoot when they're all in high sec running missions? |

just like orange is the new black, mixed opinions are the new overwhelmingly negative.

it would be even worse in high sec, you can't even stop some one stealing your payouts. :concord: a flat nerf to income would be better for everyone than the ESS. |

Like I said before, 15 km or closer to an ESS in high sec should flag you as suspect. It only makes sense. Oh and warp disrupted too.  that would have to happen.
still the ESS isn't an interesting deployable. it doesn't provide fun for anyone, in it's current form. well, ok, it might provide entertainment for 1-2 people using it as a way to harass players but beyond that there's no fun or interesting gameplay to be had from it.
that's before we even get past the fact that having an extra character ratting is better than deploying it and guarding it. the numbers, and possibly mechanics really need a revision. |

last i saw, 90m/hour was the best you'd get from anoms in null. that's still less than 80% of current incursion income (before lp). i'm hardly going to risk my incursion ship to try and get a bit of isk out of a deployable structure when i'm still earning more than any other activity that involves shooting red crosses while watching netflix.
so what i'm really saying is; the structure still isn't fun, i'm just losing income. an across the board income nerf is less hassle and achieves the exact same thing. |

not really, i'd still be earning more than null sec so all this basically would be is a nerf to income and a structure to ignore. it wouldn't generate gameplay it'd just mean i'd have to do boring stuff for longer.
that really is the underlying issue; the structure just isn't fun. it's making the most tedious part of the game even more tedious. |

Just because YOU don't get involved in the combat aound the ESS does not mean it isn't fun.
yeah considering 1 person gets the payout for multiple 40 man fleets, the ratio of people having fun vs people not having fun is kinda off there... by a lot. |

is it me or is the whole "it's good" crowd basically justifying it being good because null sec people are pointing out it's bad, rather than that it's going to actually introduce any interesting and meaningful gameplay?
cos i mean, almost every post i see saying "i love it" is almost immediately followed by "nullbear tears" or some variation. |

+1 for ESS.
Security presentation showed that most of the botting occurs in highsec and over half of all botting occurs in caldari highsec. So you know where to go with your bots He's right, though. Hiseccers are the biggest culprits when it comes to botting. You mean the goons with their alts in hi-sec? Yea your right, that why the front line goon has an average of 8 accounts.

So rather than Goons exploiting the billions available they're in high sec running less profitable incursions? :) yes, goons probably are running incursions for 150m/hour instead of 90m/hour in anoms. why is this remotely surprising? |
