I cant stand it anymore. Looting Lvl4s is a pain. and yet, sometimes i have to do it. You dont want to go mining for minerals, now, do you?
Enough is enough! stand up with me, and shout, no SCREAM with me:
We want em bigger tractor beams!
we want autoloot options for dem beams!
and we wouldnt mind retriever drones, that loot them cans for us!
Power to the people! We are the people!
and we loot our crap!

yeah, something like that.
did i mention, that it seems, those things are already in the DB, but not seeded, yet.
so i think, im not asking for anything
1) that draws too much manpower from important tasks
2) creates an imbalance in combat
well... maybe it makes hit-and-run more profitable under certain circumstances.

do 2x tractor beams, MWD and nanos on a indie not loot fast enough for you?
1) no.
2) i have an exequoror with 4 beams and mwd. it can fit most lvl4 loot in one go. is it fast enough. yes and no.
its not about fast, its about a mind numbing clickety click repeatative task.
this is the age of space travel, man!
i would settle for a 20km autolooting tractor field, tho.
edit: and about "that people like you...blablabla"
i bet when there were no tractor beams, people were shouting "give us tractor beams" so please, bug off.

im pleased to see a real discussion, fun and mockery and even some nice PSed pics.
and about the indie with 10mn mwd...
id get a sigil with a mapc and some rcus.
but still... 2 beams is too little, so the exe is my looter of choice.
but right, yea, since kali will introduce salvaging, and most probable/hopefully a "scrapmetal collector" mini-profession (why the hell does it have to be "mini"?) i would love dedicated lootships.

This game is WOWing... people are now too lazy to loot their loot themselves and will soon ask it delivered in the cargo hold of their ship directly...
lol,
if anything is wow like, then its looting as it is now.
click, click, click. click, click, click. and those clicks go without thinking about the task. remember that?
right.
THAT's wow.

i dont care if the loot gets less valuable. have you ever looted a mission? i dont know, but all i get is crap.
but still, sometimes i want some mins to build stuff.
most mission runners.. well... run from mission to mission without looting. for lp, for bounties and the reward. and in the long run, they make MORE isk than those mission *****s, that actually loot.
im sure you know that.
so, ALL it would do, is bring the runners and looters more in line. but PLEASE, for ****s sake, can we NOT turn this thread into another balance discussion?
if you want bigger beams, shout with me.
if you want to discuss balance... well... nobody can help you anyway.

right...
and if we would be getting (the already coded) bigger beams, or dedicated lootships with beamrange bonus...
YOU, of course, would still be using the old methods, because the new ones are too easy... sure. ill believe that right away.
im not asking for anything that would make eve less interesting.
and if you would start to think about it, you could see that.

I use a Prophecy with seven tractors fitted, an ABII and spilt lows between nanos and cargo expanders... works like a charm. (you could fit a MWD to it... but would have to complete the mission before you could use it...)
how bigs the hold on that?
i bet not enough...
i was thinking of getting an extra battleship, just so i can fit more beams to it. but after adding enough expanders, so its actually a little useful...it just wont really move anymore...

be glad you've got a small beam, back in the day it was all manual labor flying to each can, you kids got it easy these days
yeah, sure.
when i was a kid we had to walk three hours through 2 metre deep snow just to get to the coal mine, where we worked 28 hours a day for 5 cents.
we had no toothbrushes, no, only rusty barbwire.
and did we complain?
no! we were happy about the things we got!

WTF - this is the sign of a real mission*****grinder.
GET YOUR FAT A$$ RAVEN ON THE MOVE!
or use a faster more agile ship!
Use nanos! use MWD or AFTERBURNER!
What you really want is a "give me isk button" that you can click every 10 minutes for 10 million isk.
Soon you will be whining because you have to undock the station every now and then.
Play the freakin game the way it was intended to.
Just warpin in and stayin still at one spot spamming missiles left and right and then go back to dock and repeat all over and over and over again is NOT what this was supposed to be!
oh lol, yeah sure.
fyi, i use a domi. i just warpin and after i got the aggro on my faction tank, i only have to release my drones!
spammin missiles is so... eighties...
and another lol.
dont ya think i got a lootship with mwd?
hm?
