Both of these upgrades are a bit below the curve nowadays, and so weGÇÖre making some fairly large changes to both. The spawn rates generated by all levels of Survey Networks and Entrapment Arrays will be doubled in the July 14th Sov update. We will be keeping a close eye on the results of these changes to ensure that we donGÇÖt flood the market with the drops from these sites, and weGÇÖll step in and make more changes if needed. However we currently believe that these new spawn rates will be much closer to the ideal balance for these two system upgrades.

Increasing anomaly spawns is somewhat contradictory to incentivize group PVE, you know that right?

I really think Pirate Detection Arrays should work more like Survey Networks and Entrapment Arrays do, i.e. it only increases the chance that a particular sites spawns in the system, however, it doesn't give you a fixed amount of sites to run. This way, PVE content per systems would be limited and people would actually be forced to spread out and travel to make isk (similar to the way it is in wormholes).

You keep going on about your idea that you want to more small and independent groups out in nullsec and more localized conflicts. You won't be accomplishing that as long as it is viable for extremely large groups to live off a comparatively small space. Period.

why are you giving up so quickly? Instead of making it killcount based you could factor in isk lost per kill with some safety buffer. Just like lp payouts and bounty payouts work.

if the gain from the multiplier is less than the lost value of the ships exploding with some buffer it should be fine.

You looking at this a prespective of isk in game, Im looking at this as a perspective of isk in players pocket. PVE is about generating income, and has nothing to do with the overall amount of isk in the game. Moon mining regardless if it generates actual isk, puts income into players pockets without much effort.

If CCP wants to balance isk in the game, they need to learn a little something about economic inflation and not punish players putting in the effort and time.

Maybe economics 101 might help.

Heh nice try.

Your unassailable empire was shrunk to a handful of regions, because under the new system (fozzie sov) it would not have been defensible. The CFC could do that only because those regions provide all the income you need, and then some. So congratulations, you're now living in a virtually unconquerable space, where you can AFKtar and make mad iskies w/o any significant risk whatsoever.

If large groups such as yours were forced to hold more space, said space would be more easily contested. You catching my drift?

Resources need to be limited, why would anyone fight over them if they weren't? That's some straight-forward logic that even you can understand. You're welcome.

where the hell do you get a pocket in deklein, the entire region is on the pipe

also confirming that goons own all anomalies in the game in all regions and that any increase in anoms is strictly to the benefit of GOonswarm Federation

Yeah every small group wants to invite the wrath of the CFC by stepping into the blue donut of protection.
(don't care what you call your selves now - You will always be CFC)

Does this mean Provi won't be the most poor kid anymore???

And just think - more people per system - means we might not run as much when reds show up...
