Ofcourse, +1
I'm tired of petitioning people who get a slap on the wrist for keeping their supers safe via use of an exploit. |

I'll just point out at this point that CCP has already declared this mechanic to be an exploit.
That's not what is being discussed here. The request is that a reasonable solution is found to prevent the exploit being used, rather than simply giving a 'slap on the wrist' to people who use the illegal mechanic.

Quote:"There have been some cases where players have been able to place a cynosural field inside their Starbase forcefield and thus gaining certain advantages for themselves and their cyno-jumping allies. It should not be possible to deploy a cyno-field inside a Starbase forcefield, this is therefore classed as an exploit and we will take action against anyone found using it.
Lighting a cyno in space next to a POS tower, before activating a force field surrounding the cyno beacon, is also an exploit and falls under this."
I would probably add this to the OP |

That works, you'd also need to stop cyno's being lit within the tower's range whilst the timer is active.

Oh, but now that more people are starting to find out they can use this to protect their giant space cocks, it's suddenly so horrible and has to be nerfed into extinction yesterday!!!!  Of course, I don't fly giant space cocks, will never fly giant space cocks, and could not care less about giant space cocks. I just think it's kind of pathetic that a tactic no one ever complained publicly about is now suddenly such a terrible exploit.
Complaints were made before, both via ingame support tickets and:
HERE
AND HERE
There are countless other examples. But as to why you're seeing it now? The odd person/small group used to use it every now and again, and thus it annoyed a small minority of people. Now it's becoming more commonplace, more people care - and thus we may finally see long overdue change. |
