I don't think you value feedback that much, because most of this thread is a really big backlash against this "improvement". Anyway, if the immunity is staying, my subscriptions in your game are not staying, you can be sure about that.

Wow I hadn't looked at F&ID in a couple of days and all of a sudden massive thread on Recons. Haven't read the thread yet, but have read the blue posts.

CCP Rise any chance of adding the PvE bonus for Virus Strength to the Covert Recons? I had mentioned this to you in person at Eve Down Under.

Monday update - I'm working on a revised proposal but it's a bit slow going with everyone but me out of the office to visit their families (boring). Hopefully some new stuff for you guys soon.

Just don't forget the cancer that is ultra easy and effort free perfect intel. It results in far less fights. If not appearing on the directional scanner is not an option, then perhaps not appearing in local chat is. And don't worry about those nullbears, everyone has intel channels and of course the d-scan. If they are proactive in gathering intel for a change, then combat recons will not be the END OF DAYS as some are saying. Don't give in to the fear mongering!

RISE
Keep up the nice work
The trail of tears shows you're in the right direction.

There is a lovely program called OnTopReplica. Check it out. It's free. Basically, it allows you to view all or part of your Eve screen all the time. I generally stick my scouting alts on a gate, on a wormhole, or in a complex, then set up this program so I can view the overview portion of the scouts' screen at all times. If I see something show up on the screen, I alt tab over and take a closer look. It works really beautifully. It enables me to employ all my alts even with only two screens. It even works while you are watching Youtube videos.

I know people hate being told to "bring friends" or "get an alt," but Eve is a complex game. One pilot cannot usually do everything necessary to ensure its own survival. That is a good thing. Insisting on solo, especially if you are an established player who can afford to PLEX an alt (or have a real job and some disposable income), is really stupid in an MMO.

If you have a philosophical objection to alts, get some friends. When I was a new player, older players let me follow along while they ran missions. I got the loot and salvage, they got company. I'm sure you could find a way to make it worth someone's time to scout for you.

Bring friends or get alts. Otherwise, please stop complaining.

if you think we should balance gameplay around solo, you are in essence asking to nerf group gameplay. Why would you want that.?

an un-damage-bonused rail lachesis is going to be absolute crap. secondly, weapon types are not split like that. it's hybrids, missiles, and drones. for example you don't have amarr ships that are considered to be pulse or beam laser. you have amarr laser ships, drone ships, and missile ships. the roden missile "brain-bug" needs to be expanded upon. give them the option to fit more missiles. I would love to see a missile ares -- it might actually be worth flying if you could missile fit it.
