Six years of Eve and 100+ million SPs, and I had to post to say that I agree totally with Atticus Fynch's comments and Indahmawar.

As for Tippia's comments, well, totally worthless tripe is just what it is.

I know it''s a long thread but try reading through it.

EVE Could use a "Find a friend" button

As much as I think Tippia is a douche... he is right.

Only insofar as he has chosen to rephrase the original question and intent of the thread.

The entire point of the author seemed to me to be an attempt to generate ideas that might add some depth to the solo player's experience.

The concept that somehow popular gang activities should be considered for change because they can't be performed solo was introduced by......Tippia.

However, we have not defined "solo player" to Tippia's satisfaction, so any comment or idea related to "solo player" made by Tippia must be taken with a grain of salt.

He does not know what a solo player is within the context of the thread.

Yes, Jamming the ability to lite the Cyno Beacon.

it's pretty obvious that i meant a ship using its jump drive to travel around without having to use gates or rely on a another character to light up a cyno at the destination point.

ah, personally I'd prefer that to be the domain of the hic bubbles rather than a targeted module, since by the time you can lock/point someone, the caps are likely already in system -- but that would also need some changes to the mechanics to allow hic bubbles in low.

One idea CCP has been toying with is to make it so ships have to lock on to a Cynosural Field. Like a Jump Drive Scan Res.

tl;dr (Except to pick out the ripest cherries).

EVE is not geared towards solo play. I would like to see more support for the solo player.

ie. purchase concord escort service for example.

For the solo and one man corps players out there, what kind of features would you like implemented?

"what is it solo players can't do now, and is there any reason they should be able to do those things on their own?" Once the question has been posed their is a stunning realization upon the people in the thread that they do not in fact have the answer to this question

But Tippia continues: "GǪand unless we define solo player we cannot answer that question, because there is no way of determining what kind of help is needed (if any).", then poses the question and a challenge "So the question remains: what is it solo players can't do now, and is there any reason they should be able to do those things on their own? If there's nothing in particular they can't do, why should we waste time giving solo players more stuff to do rather than everyone?"

As time goes on the Posters who attack Tippia will tire of the thread and leave, leaving Tippia the last poster standing and the question unanswered.

the question isn't being answered is because

It is a blatant hijack to a topic that Tippia wants to discuss and bears little relationship to the original aim of the thread.

if "solo player" is not defined to Tippia's satisfaction, how is it possible for Tippia to ask questions about specific "solo player" activities

And finally.....what does Tippia's butt taste like Alara?

Anyone tha posts after me is a **** sucking fairy.

in that case, a targeted solution is fine ... just maybe not a point.

Sensor damps, obviously, since they are already the general GÇ£mess with scan resGÇ¥ modules GÇö more Gallente buffs ftw!

Also: wtf happened to the post I was actually going to respond to? It was a long and good answer as well.

Yeah, but I thought we were talking about the ship lighting the cyno (or the cyno itself), rather than the capship. So "Cynosural Field Destabiliser" that works similar to a point?

We are, but I suppose you could make some twisted argument about how damping the cyno (beacon) disrupts the signal it sends to the jumping / gating ships, increasing the time it takes for them to lock on / spool up and jump.

A new module would be one way of doing it, but damps could use a bit of love as it is, and it would let people fit a module that actually has some every-day use and not let them feel like they're GÇ£wastingGÇ¥ a slot on a singular-use (and very-special-purpose) module.

OK, guess I'm a bit rusty on the lore then -- always understood the Cyno to be nothing more than a beacon for a capship's jumpdrive to lock on to? In that case, I guess the "warp scrambler" would be the better option ... though I could also see it being a module for 'dictors (hics would get another script for their bubble/infinipoint).

GǪof course, you could always just go for the obvious alternative: if you can lock onto and blow up the cyno beacon before the jumping ships manage to get a lock, you've dodged the bullet (this time). Now, it becomes a race against time, and on the flip side, the hot drop ships might opt for fitting some new Gǣcyno resolution enhancerGǥ module to get through faster (but run the risk of being less capable in the field).

Personally I find a bit puzzling how EVE pretends both that people hang out together for everything and yet allows anyone to backstab any other (even hundreds or thousands of people) with zero consequences.

"Play alone or risk being fukked, then be fukked for playing alone" is one of the weirdest metaconcepts in EVE.

A complete reconstruction of the bounty system would dramatically improve the "lone wolf" type play style.

I don't see weird in that. It is like in real life.
