Gryphon Infinite Caldari Provisions Caldari State 49	Posted - 2014.07.02 20:07:00 - [1] - Quote Greetings fellow players and CCP, Please add a "Warp to 0 km" option inside of the Autopilot or Game settings. Instead of how it is now, how the Autopilot warps to 10 to 15 km out. This new option is not forced on any Eve players. It will not be the default, and must be manually selected. This new option also doesn't create more afk'ers or hurt the game, it almost will slightly increase gank potential. Here is some math: If I want to Autopilot between Jita <> Amarr (9 Jumps) all day , and I have 20 billion in wealth. Thus I decide to make my total fitting and cargo when undocked a maximum of 1 out of 100 of my wealth. So 20 billion divided by 100 is 200 million total outdoor fitting. Thus what will happen is, I have 200 million fitted of Ship / Rigs / Cargo / Modules, etc.; autopiloting between the two hubs, with the new warp to zero feature. This is fair because I am certainly following rule 1 of Eve: Fly what you can afford to lose. (Although the specific value is subjective). This new feature to the game will definitely increase commerce and trade. People can now take a tiny risk of autopilot afking, and do another task, and possibly finish the route when they get back. Warp to zero will immensely cut down on travel time for Industrials, Freighters, Battleships, etc. Trade, although boring to some, is necessary for the game. Trade is the backbone, and increased overturn of exchanges from player to player, will increase the amount of a certainpart ofthe game of which we all love, Combat! Please consider "Liking" my posts if you did enjoy them! It really helps, because I am indeed striving to make positive posts for our beloved game. :)
Mr Epeen It's All About Me 5371	Posted - 2014.07.02 20:10:00 - [2] - Quote The courier profession definitely needs fixing, but warp to zero is not how to do it. Mr Epeen There are 86,400 seconds in a day. You just saved one of them by typing 'u' instead of 'you'.-á Congratulations, dumbass!

Sugar Kyle Calamitous-Intent Feign Disorder 613	Posted - 2014.07.02 20:15:00 - [5] - Quote No. I spend more time in my freighter and jump freighter then my other ships. If they have time to auto-pilot they have time to showboat 15k and be in-convinced. Speeding up auto-pilot is removing reasons for people to sit at their keyboard and fly their ships. And yes, doing logistics runs is boring. I spend the money to put implants in my freighter pilots head to improve her warp speed because it is boring. I keep my cargo down so that I reduce the risks of being ganked. Now, if we ignore the speed argument we have the fact that any fast warping ship has no worries about moving around the game anymore. They just press auto-pilot and they are warping gate to gate faster than a player can hit the buttons. There is no more worries about muti-boxing. I don't have to remember that I'm flying when my husband comes home and I want to say hi. My ships may as well teleport to their end locations. Flawless, perfect, gate to gate piloting. No errors. No mistakes. That's what you are suggesting. Low Sec Lifestyle - A Blog

Ptraci The Irukandji Ineluctable. 1806	Posted - 2014.07.02 20:18:00 - [8] - Quote The autopilot not warping to zero is intentional by the devs. I remember them commenting about it oh some 8 years ago, claiming that they wish people would actually play the game instead of set the autopilot and go afk. You are free to go afk on autopilot but you inherit some risk if you do that.

Although I suspect this is a troll post, as no one can be this stupid.............. Oh wait miners mining with Gankers in the system, Yes people can be this stupid.

Issler Dainze Tadakastu-Obata Corporation The Honda Accord 2504	Posted - 2014.07.02 20:41:00 - [16] - Quote So lets optimize it even further! Just add a button that takes 10% of your net worth with and adds 15% to that every you push it after 30 minutes. See we've taken the flying out it entirely! Pesky bad auto pilot be gone! Oh, to be fair you still have some chance of loosing that freighter on the other side when it starts to warp so the button has to have a 2% chance for every jump from where you are to Jita you would have to have taken that you lose the entire 10% plus the current market value of the freighter you aren't actually flying! Or even better, save time and money, imagine you are playing and that you are a successful courier! Eliminate the risk and hassle of really playing all together! Heck since you are just imagining it, add WIS and let yourself run all null in your Eve day dreaming!! Why not also win a CSM in you head and imagine yourself to Iceland!
Tippia Sunshine and Lollipops 22776	Posted - 2014.07.02 20:42:00 - [17] - Quote Gryphon Infinite wrote: Please add a "Warp to 0 km" option inside of the Autopilot or Game settings.

It will not be the default, and must be manually selected. This new option also doesn't create more afk'ers or hurt the game, it almost will slightly increase gank potential. All of this is incorrect. It will be the default; it will create more AFKers; it will hurt the game; it will drastically decrease gank potential. All of them are bad thing, and again, for what? Quote: Warp to zero will immensely cut down on travel time for Industrials, Freighters, Battleships, etc. This already exists. If you want to cut down on travel time, just use it. There's no need to remove all incentives to not AFK just to replicate the pre-existing functionality.

Tau Cabalander Retirement Retreat Working Stiffs 3803	Posted - 2014.07.02 20:49:00 - [18] - Quote CCP have claimed the reason auto-pilot drops one 15 km from the gate is to allow capacitor to recharge.

Vincent Athena V.I.C.E. 2814	Posted - 2014.07.02 21:10:00 - [21] - Quote Marlona Sky wrote: You could, wait for it... actually be at the keyboard and play the game. But I know, crazy talk right? Yes, it is. I can set buy and sell orders, and they are automatic and fill even if I am AFK. I can set industry jobs and they complete even if I am AFK, and will not complete faster if I am at the keyboard. I can set a contract and it will be accepted even if I am AFK, and will not fill faster if I am at the keyboard. I can set up PI and it will work automatically, even if I am AFK, and will not fill go faster if I am at the keyboard. (Well, OK, I can set short cycles. But I still can be AFK most of the time.) I can set up a moon miner or POS reaction and it will work automatically even if I am AFK, and will not go faster if I am at the keyboard. I can set a skill and it will train automatically even if I am AFK, and will not train faster if I am at the keyboard. I can set a mobile tractor unit and salvage drones and clear a mission space even if I am AFK. A tremendous part of the game is already done AFK, and much of it is not made faster by being at the keyboard. Why not travel? Now, a bit of history: It use to be that all warps to a stargate or station would end up 15 km away. The goal was to make fights on gates feasible. But us clever players started making bookmarks at every gate and station, allowing warp to zero. The sever started straining under the load of hundreds of thousands of BMs, being created, copied, and used. So CCP made warp to zero part of the game, the compromise being "not on autopilot". But that was years ago. Are we still stuck in the past on this one? After all, a freighter on autopilot is still a sitting duck when on the departure gate, this would not stop ganking. Also, sitting at a keyboard, pressing a button once every 3 minutes is hardly "playing a game". It's machine work, let a machine do it. On the other extreme, the 15 km warp-to distance could be brought back for everyone by placing a 15 km warp disruption field around every gate. Would you all like that one? http://vincentoneve.wordpress.com/

ISD Ezwal ISD Community Communications Liaisons 1649	Posted - 2014.07.02 21:17:00 - [22] - Quote This thread has been moved to Features & Ideas Discussion. I have also removed some rule breaking posts and those quoting them. As always I let some edge cases stay. Please people, keep it on topic and above all civil! The Rules: 4. Personal attacks are prohibited. Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another forum user. Posts of this nature are not beneficial to the community spirit that CCP promote and as such they will not be tolerated. 5. Trolling is prohibited. Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.

Leoric Firesword Dark Fusion Industries Limitless Inc. 27	Posted - 2014.07.02 21:18:00 - [23] - Quote no, auto-piloting paints a big "gank me" target on your back. It's meant to be this way. Working as intended. Want to travel faster? don't auto-pilot.

I'm sure everyone would be delighted by this change (because I would). The devs that added warp to 0km due to the database strain caused by the thousands of gate bookmarks might not share your enthusiasm.

Erm, because there would be no combat if travel is replaced by a teleportation system? You can add hauling to your list of AFK activities like this. Here are some methods set a courier contract OR force a minion to move your stuff about OR ask blues nicely OR shout in length in comms until someone does it to shut you up You're welcome.

The only thing on the list that doesn't is skill training, and that's because it's not actual gameplay. Quote: A tremendous part of the game is already done AFK, and much of it is not made faster by being at the keyboard. Why not travel? Because, as with everything else, there should be a reward for being at the keyboard when you travel. Quote: But that was years ago. Are we still stuck in the past on this one? Yes.
