Really curious why this was thought to be the best solution. Instead of say, increasing the mass of the Titan during bridging to prevent it from being bumped.
I understand Occam wasn't Icelandic or anything, but you guys might look into simple solutions for simple problems. |

Additionally, I'm curious why the added risk to capitals cynoing outside the pos is now desirable. The entire impetus for this change was SOCO crying about lighting bridges on the edge of POS' being too risky.
Was the game mechanic THAT broken before that it needs an ad-hoc fix with far reaching implications? Is this some well thought out change that CCP has been testing for months and contemplating various contingencies for? I don't think so.
This is why CCP gets so much crap. This is really an awful change that has not been very well thought out in response to emotional feedback from a titan lost last week.
If you want to validate your rule or prevent the "exploit," then just do that. Make a narrowly tailored change and move on making this game better. Issues like these create wastes of time 6 months down the line when CCP realizes, yet again, that it acted too hastily.
Ignoring the actual annoyance of this change, take a minute to contemplate the wasted man hours that will go into fixing this issue again when all the ramifications are realized. Those man hours translate to real life money and inefficiencies that affect the bottom line.
It's disheartening that someone even has to say this, but Measure Twice Cut Once.

This would just add more affects to the same aoe radius that already exists. the pos shield most certainly does not create an area of effect and you can absolutely take damage inside a pos shield (as the many people who have been killed by missiles fired before they were in the shield but hit after can tell you) - you merely cannot be targeted what you're asking would be to change the physics and stats of a ship based on where it is in the solar system, something that does not exist at all to the best of my knowledge in eve's code and would have to be written from scratch
It absolutely does. The simple recognition of the server that XshipinPOS?=1 is that area effect required for the purposes of creating another condition for ships in a pos. |
