Snacky Treets	Posted - 2007.05.29 16:00:00 - [1] Edited by: Snacky Treets on 29/05/2007 16:04:49 It's ridiculous that people can sit in station all day with no danger. I have no problem with the general concept of docking. But there's no counter to pilots who log in but never undock! At any time they could simply undock from the station, even with a whole gang, and attack people indiscriminately. When I'm in a solar system and I see people I don't know in local, but I know some of them are sitting, invulnerable, in a station, it drives me mad! Mad I say! Here's my suggestion: after 30 seconds of being docked, pilots are randomly chucked out of the station with all their belongings and ships. Then they have to scramble to pick up all their clothes and their widescreen tv and their action figures while I sit a few kilometers away in my battleship, spraying them with the garden hose. It's the only fair solution.
Roshan longshot Gallente Ordos Humanitas FREGE Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.29 16:03:00 - [2] You must have a 'War dec' on sombody who wont leave the station to fight you? Otherwise whats this post about? Free-form Professions, ensure no limetations on professions. Be a trader, fighter, industialist, researcher, hunter *pirate* or mixture of them all. [i]As read from the original box.
Fswd	Posted - 2007.05.29 16:08:00 - [3] Stop whining, goon alt --- So I flame and troll when the occasion calls for it. So what are you gonna do about it?
Corb Caldari	Posted - 2007.05.29 16:08:00 - [4] 30 seconds? You can at least be reasonable. I think that anyone idle in station for over 2 hrs should be disconnected from game. This would free up a lot of bandwidth/lag issues. If you're idle in station for over 2 hrs then chances are .. you're not there.
Snacky Treets	Posted - 2007.05.29 16:08:00 - [5] I just think it's collossally unfair that pilots can sit around all day in their SoloPwnStations and play Eve on easy mode. Maybe we can develop some sort of probing system where we can probe out players in stations and fire a missile at their unprotected meat body of squishy meat...?
Neveren Caldari Setenta Corp Xelas Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.29 16:09:00 - [6] no STC recruiting!
Zirator Times of Ancar THE R0NIN	Posted - 2007.05.29 16:11:00 - [7] Originally by: Roshan longshot You must have a 'War dec' on sombody who wont leave the station to fight you? Otherwise whats this post about? This is about the upcoming cloak nerf.
PredatorPT Stormlord Battleforce Dark Matter Coalition	Posted - 2007.05.29 16:11:00 - [8] Strange way to whine about the incoming cloaking nerf, in my opinion. Originally by: Kloro Draz Amar1: We must ensure that the succession of power occurs smoothly. Amar2: Yes, it is god's will that the empire flourish. Hellraiza: Rawrwa rwar rwawr!
Tareen Kashaar Jericho Fraction The Star Fraction	Posted - 2007.05.29 16:12:00 - [9] Docking? Dudes, there is a far worse problem abound! Nerf Vacuum! --- WTS: Forum Signatures, 30mil a piece. Evemail me! Sig removed. Please keep sigs to 400x120 pixels and 24000 bytes in size or less. -Kaemonn
Spoon Thumb Khanid Aerospace Group Khanid Provincial Authority	Posted - 2007.05.29 16:14:00 - [10] No no no. Just because i spend long periods afk or just doing station and market stuff doesn't mean I don't ever undock and in fact I do and even sometimes take risks !!!!! :-O You're using peverse logic. Like saying "no one ever go outside again ever so we don't have to pay cleaners to wipe muddy floors and can get rid of doors and doormats" Khaldari
Spoon Thumb Khanid Aerospace Group Khanid Provincial Authority	Posted - 2007.05.29 16:17:00 - [11] How about get rid of stations instead? We can have 1/3 systems with a station rather than 3/1 stations/system Khaldari
Snacky Treets	Posted - 2007.05.29 16:18:00 - [12] Originally by: Spoon Thumb Just because i spend long periods afk or just doing station and market stuff doesn't mean I don't ever undock and in fact I do and even sometimes take risks !!!!! That's not the point. The point is that ONE ENEMY PILOT sitting in a station can ruin the game for everybody in the whole solar system. If I see a red square in local chat, I have to immediately flee the system in case he undocks next to me and starts shooting. My entire alliance has been brought to its knees by these Stationeers exploiting a game mechanic to wage a psychological war of terror and uncertainty on us with their Stationy tactics. NERF STATIONS!
Dread Phantom Caldari Project-Chaos	Posted - 2007.05.29 16:23:00 - [13] signed, most games have this why not eve
Lisento Slaven Amarr Vendetta Underground Rule of Three	Posted - 2007.05.29 16:25:00 - [14] Simple - docked people shouldn't show up in local! They already show up in the guest list! Oh and I thought this said "nerf afk docTers" at first. I wasn't sure what to think. --- Lisento Slaven wants to be a Space Whaler in EVE. Put in space whales!
Ki An Gallente The Really Awesome Players	Posted - 2007.05.29 16:26:00 - [15] I think this is an EXCELLENT way of whining about the upcoming cloak-nerf, as it is essentially the same arguments used as against afk-cloakers /Ki Joy to the world Beware: I'm a "viscous pirate"!
Imperator Jora'h	Posted - 2007.05.29 16:26:00 - [16] Why not just have an "AFK" indicator on people's pictures. If you do nothing for awhile the indicator lights up letting everyone know that person is not about. Maybe have a one minute timer that disallows undocking or warping when you return to the game (to avoid people pouncing out of a station upon return). Seems that would solve your troubles fairly well.
GusHobbleton GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2007.05.29 16:27:00 - [17] I agree, you should be able to dock and use the upcoming Revelations walk-around-the-station thing to be able to attack enemies. It wouldn't be too hard to add a FPS engine to the game. Hey, you could even have special ships dedicated to attaching themselves to enemy vessels, cutting through the hull, and you could slaughter everyone inside to take over the ship. Kind of like the Salvage Corvettes in Homeworld ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dread Operative Sniggerdly Pandemic Legion	Posted - 2007.05.29 16:31:00 - [18] My character needs a 25mm Autocannon II to carry around during ambulation. 75dps with 2x 25mm Autocannon II's loaded with Quake XS. Possibly more efficient to rely on Minmatar alpha against other characters hmm...

Ragnor Dayton Amarr Paxton Industries Paxton Federation	Posted - 2007.05.29 16:34:00 - [20] The solution to this could well be found in the walking in stations upgrade planned. What we need is a new type of skills - personal combat training. Power, Speed, Accuracy, kick, punch, block, etc. If you can see someone in the station, you can attack them with the same rules as applies to that sec concord / war decs / etc. with the exception that if you get concorded you get a 1 day game ban (in prison), and if you "kill" a war target they count as being podded. ------------------------------------------------ Just because your not paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!
Wild Rho Amarr GoonFleet	Posted - 2007.05.29 16:36:00 - [21] Edited by: Wild Rho on 29/05/2007 16:34:57 *Looks at all the people taking this thread seriously

NERF STATIONS! what if hes a trader then there is no reason for him to undock and fight. who cares if there is 1 one bad guy in system. if you are worried so much have an alt in station with him so you know when he undocks and go about doing your thing. honestly there are other ways then nerfing stations to appease you and others. why does everyone think their way of playing is the right way and everyone should play that way
Big Al The League of Legitimate Nigerian Businessmen	Posted - 2007.05.29 16:39:00 - [23] When we get walking in stations you can go over to them and write stuff on their foreheads.

NERF STATIONS! You need to get some better friends / allies Khaldari
Lukor DarkStar 1 GoonSwarm	Posted - 2007.05.29 16:42:00 - [25] Docking is fine as it is. Your signature was inappropriate, email [email protected] to find out why (don't forget to include a link to it) -Sahwoolo
Spoon Thumb Khanid Aerospace Group Khanid Provincial Authority	Posted - 2007.05.29 16:42:00 - [26] Who are your friends / allies? Don't see them under your Avatar & name Khaldari
Snacky Treets	Posted - 2007.05.29 16:51:00 - [27] I don't have any friends. The people I used to play with have all embraced this docking exploit and I don't want any part of those cheesy tactics.
Derovius Vaden	Posted - 2007.05.29 16:53:00 - [28] Originally by: Snacky Treets Edited by: Snacky Treets on 29/05/2007 16:04:49 It's ridiculous that people can sit in station all day with no danger.

It's the only fair solution. You sir/ma'am, are a tool. I demand you pay me back the time it took to read this horrible, horrible post.
BobsBrother	Posted - 2007.05.29 16:58:00 - [29] This gave me a laugh after a crap day at wotk, Thankyou
Garrick Amorr An Eye For An Eye Rule of Three	Posted - 2007.05.29 17:01:00 - [30] Some people just don't understand sarcasm! Great thread snacky
