Jim McGregor Caldari	Posted - 2006.11.03 18:58:00 - [1] Edited by: Jim McGregor on 03/11/2006 18:58:08 Ok, seems CCP have put in the option to Warp to 0 km of gates on the test server. Personally I think its just fantastic, and I prey they dont change it back... :) So now everybody will have instas with much less server lag. Congratulations to CCP for having the guts to actually DO something! Note that the autopilot still goes to 15 km from gates only, which is good. --- Eve Wiki \| Eve Tribune \| Eve Pirate

Mostly anyway Im not sure how this change affects the number of gatecamps? You mean that more people will camp gates when they cant be scanned for in advance? Yeah maybe. Use scouts. :) --- Eve Wiki \| Eve Tribune \| Eve Pirate
Jim McGregor Caldari	Posted - 2006.11.03 20:06:00 - [4] Edited by: Jim McGregor on 03/11/2006 20:10:46 There is no way they will remove bookmarks. They serve a very important role in Eve pvp combat and many other things. I think they will just add Warp to 0 km option to gates, stations, belts, perhaps ships as well... Thats it. People can then delete their unneeded instas if they wish to help make Eve more lag free. :) --- Eve Wiki \| Eve Tribune \| Eve Pirate
Jim McGregor Caldari	Posted - 2006.11.03 20:17:00 - [5] Originally by: Reiisha Just remove bookmarks, no need to introduce a warp to 0 option.... for obvious reasons, if you think a little. Hail to entire alliance fleets moving into whatever system they like, wherever in eve, within an hour or 2 at most. No need for scouting or whatever! What, they dont have instas already you think? :) --- Eve Wiki \| Eve Tribune \| Eve Pirate
Jim McGregor Caldari	Posted - 2006.11.04 12:01:00 - [6] Tiller, I think i know what you are getting at. Small ship jumps in, and warps off before anyone can target and warp disrupt it. I think there might be some truth to it, and thats why I think mobile warp disruptors should be allowed in low sec with this change. --- Eve Wiki \| Eve Tribune \| Eve Pirate
Jim McGregor Caldari	Posted - 2006.11.04 12:35:00 - [7] Edited by: Jim McGregor on 04/11/2006 12:36:27 Originally by: doctorstupid2 EDIT: to clarify, this goes beyond gate camping. I'm pretty fond of roaming solo or in gangs of no more than 3 t2 frigates. Where do we find most kills? at gates. Do we stick around and camp it? hell no, [un]lucky timing gets most of the kills. I hate gate camping, please don't force us to blob with bubbles to have fun You know, this has more to do with the fact that most people dont even go to low sec because they feel there is not enough rewards for the risks. If low sec was very profitable, you would see alot more players willing to risk their necks. I think with Kali and the new Exploration, alot more people will be curious about what the low sec systems has to offer. So hopefully you will see MORE player activity in these systems instead of less. And the new improved system scanning will hopefully make it easy to find other players and warp to them. I hope thats the way it will turn out if ccp plays its cards right. --- Eve Wiki \| Eve Tribune \| Eve Pirate

Jim McGregor Caldari	Posted - 2006.11.05 08:15:00 - [9] Im kind of getting tired of repeating this to people... instas are nothing new. This changes nothing. Everybody serious about Eve has instant bookmarks ffs. The only one you catch are newbies or people who cant be bothered to buy them. You get an entire region for like 30 mill or something. Its dirt cheap. So please stop with the "freighter can now move at light speed" argument. You think the slowest ships in the game didnt have instas before? Of course they did. Or will get it. --- Eve Wiki \| Eve Tribune \| Eve Pirate
Jim McGregor Caldari	Posted - 2006.11.05 08:55:00 - [10] Originally by: GenePool Chlorinator I'm getting sorta tired of repeating this to people.. The point isn't whether or not they DID... It's whether or not they SHOULD... And in many cases they didn't.. I still see freighters slowboating to gates. In fact, a whole bevy of freighter pilots was recently complaining in local that CCP must place billboards where they do specifically to **** off freighter pilots. As much as people complained about it, freighters are SUPPOSED to be slow. I'm not sure why everyone thinks it's ok that a ship carrying 750,000 m3 moves through space just as fast as any other ship. There is a 'velocity' attribute to ships for a reason beyond just the time they spend in belts or mission running. I understand what you are getting at, but you know, this is still a game. Games are supposed to be fun. Nobody, and I mean nobody, enjoys long travel times. Thats why people are spending loads of iskies on bookmarks to begin with. They dont WANT to spend hours travelling. Sometimes realism have to take a backseat to fun, because people dont play Eve to simulate being a real space ship pilot. --- Eve Wiki \| Eve Tribune \| Eve Pirate
Jim McGregor Caldari	Posted - 2006.11.07 14:39:00 - [11] I tested Warp to 0 on the test server today and its very nice. Works for gates, stations, well, everything I think. You can also set default Warp To Distance to what you want under 15 km now, like 1 km, 3 km, 7 km or whatever. I have to say, it was a great feeling to travel that fast everywhere. --- Eve Wiki \| Eve Tribune \| Eve Pirate
Jim McGregor Caldari	Posted - 2006.11.13 20:29:00 - [12] They have now confirmed that Warp to 0 is coming to TQ, and they are deleting all bookmarks within 40 km of gates automatically. Our deed is done. --- Eve Wiki \| Eve Tribune \| Eve Pirate
