I dont need to.

I made my comments on the OP, you said they were not relevant and I told you were wrong and why, at which point you had a shitfit.

So, as I said, do yourself a favour and try replying in a way worthy of that Alliance tag you carry, ok?

It's amazing what can be read in to with text these days.

Uh huh

You dont have anything, so you project your own inabilities and insecurties onto my poasts.

Bravo, at least you got past the whole "Basicas of Poasting 101" class.

So, you going to continue to derail or do you have something to actually add?

What are your opinions on placing ESS in an anomaly?
Do you also believe that people should not be allowed to place an ESS in an anomaly like the OP does?

I can see where it could be considered an exploit but as I am not against exploits that take advantage of a mechanical ability of an object I don't see what the problem is.

If the Devs think it is wrong to place it there, they should have the rats aggress on player structures. I cant see a reason why they aggress on abandoned drones and not deployables.

I agree in some respects. That would mean that rats would have to attack a lot more objects. Like Mobile Depots, anchored bubbles, Mobile Tractor Units, etc. That would take a profound amount of coding to get the rats to distinguish which object to attack and which not to I think. That could be quite an undertaking and probably not something that would be a priority if I were a programmer in CCP.

If PlayerOwned=1 and no aggro from any extrenal source then Attack, non?

But as it stands, I dont feel they should change the device itsself further

Otherwise we are back to the situation with the WH deployment: A useful effect of the device removed, and it now having no use for a sizable proportion of players.

I can honestly understand what you're saying about that. How exactly was it use as an "early warning system"? I'm not even sure if that's what was said.
You said sizable portion of players. How many are there? I really don't know.

Burglar alarm was what I said. Its easy enough to figure out how.

You want an actual figure on the amount of people who dont rat in null?

More than 0, less than n where n = all players

I'm sure at this point that we can agree on some points.
Placement, in of itself, is a broad issue.
Wormhole use is one issue and I just figured it out. Placing the ESS right on the worm hole so that when someone comes through it broadcasts in local chat that some one is there. That's brilliant. I suppose CCP could have just added something to the ESS saying that it can't be placed within 150km from a worm hole and still made it available to the population. I don't know how difficult that would be though.
The subject at hand was an ESS in an anomaly but we both agree to enough of a degree that it isn't a problem so that part is solved.

Funny.
I was just asking if there was a rough number or any published amounts. That's all. hehe

In the attributes where it says:

May be anchored in Wormhole Space: 0

See, its good to talk.

Even if they changed it so you could deploy it within 150km, there are still ways to "exploit" its capabilities.

By making it null only, this limits it to the very edge of worthlessness, and not allowing it in an anom would reduce it to as useless as the scan inhibitor

This is a great example, because players were using it do something that was unintended AND bad - CCP patched it very, very quickly.
If CCP were unhappy with their use in anoms, they could quick-fix by not allowing them anywhere near a large collidable object, which are in any anom.

You also better believe that this use has been petition-tested and is not an exploit.

From what I am told, outside of warping in a capital ship - nothing can survive the entire pocket on you at zero. If you are solo of course. Maybe a small RR gang or something, not sure.
