Out in various nullsex looking for ESS to rob and I've only found one. Which had 1.2mil in it which I stole. Went back couple hours later and it was gone (presumably scooped).
Also curious if there's any way to find ESS without being in system with it? Is there a map setting like for cynos?

I'm kinda surprised it wasn't laughed out of the room when first introduced beyond the creating team.
I think its a great idea. Just need to make it good enough so that bears use them.

Make the ESS boost payouts to 105% by just dropping it then increase to 110% over time
OOO just had a thought. What if you had to hack the ESS to get it to boost payouts?

If you drop payment to 66% of normal, people will simply desert nullsec.
That's the problem in the first place.
not true.. lazynnes is still the most powerful force in the universe. But the direction is correct. Base payout should be even lower and the reward should be even higher. Also the time to hit share should not be THAT fast. Should take at least like 1 min.
Yeah def! In some systems its a 30s warp just to get to the ESS

It was Q2 and they've since removed the ESS

I don't think you understand null... AFK cloaker in Null system means ABANDON SYSTEM

Three Black Legion interceptors jumped in, one hilariously enough died to the rats and the other two shot the tacklers and took the tags. Only lost about 20m so for entertainment/bait value it was certainly worth it.
Those who will use these for actual ratting are the ones who can keep an alt on top of it and scoop it as soon as something nasty enters, which is very easy to do, if you have an alt you can't use for ratting anyway and can play on both without your computer dying. This does not apply to me so probably will not use them for ratting.
I wonder if you can anchor them inside a plex... can an inty tank a citadel torpedo?
Thats pretty clever
Putting these in a gated complex would be pretty annoying

If you really want to have it safe. Find an exploration ded site and stick it in their. Then enemies have to scan down the site before they can get to it. Also yeah, if you have friends in neighboring systems it's also nearly impossible to steal.
I am curious how CCP will handle it. Players have found a way to eliminate most of the risk associated with the object. Where are all those "elite PvPers" now who were loudly proclaiming that the ESS would be a super awesome conflict driver in the dev thread?
It is a conflict driver we killed an officer fit paladin trying to defend their ESS from our gang

Do you really believe all the bullcrap you post? Devs jumped on the fact that ESS near a wormhole was a design flaw. Waiting for the same dev's to post up that burying an ESS deep in an anom is an exploit, and will be fixed. Waiting....waiting........
Putting it in an anom is emergent game play not a design flaw

Based on that, how come we are seeing a huge nerf in drone range and drone command?
Based on your criteria, that is also merely "emergent game-play".
Thats called game balance not exploiting.
Idk why people have problems with ESS in anoms. I nearly robbed one with my crow while it was in a hub. Ended up killing a bomber then getting run off by tengu, navy raven and carrier combo. NPC bs and cruisers can't hit intys for **** if you know what transversal is and npc frigs are easily killed. HTFU
