Why is the ability to activate modules that were not put online instation, while in space, still in the game?
This is really admittedly only an issue with MWDs, but it is an issue nevertheless. Why should someone be able to fit an MWD, being able to use it the first time whenever they want to when they need to run away, and yet not suffer the fitting penalties until they use it?
When someone fits a module, and gains the ability to use it, they should have to live with the drawbacks from the time of its fitting, not the time of its activation. If this were not the case then MWDs would only penalize your cap and shield while they were active, rather than, as they do now, incurring penalties for being online.

I like the fact MWD can be offline until you need it.
After all, if you're in a fight and you NEED to activate the MWD to get away you're usually really ****** anyway.

Yes, but that doesn't really speak to my point. There is no difference (maybe a very very slight delay) between having an MWD offline vs online before the first usage. As such, you are gaining the same bonus (the ability to activate it if need be) as those who have the MWD online but are not recieving any penalty for it.

I dont think it's a big issue.
The penalty is pretty high imo, more so now the MWD's use huge cap.
And the inactive MWD a pilot never uses still takes up a medslot he cant tank with.

I would say its an exploit atm.
The problem if someone use it against you, how can prove he activates it in a pvp fight. Since the one who use that, get a "unwanted" advantage to another player.
I had fit a while back when hunting rats just in case, but only used it to fly back to empire back there.

I think it's because they have been unable to fix the issue where you switch between ships and some of your modules are not online and don't properly toggle online as reflected by your skills. Hope that makes sense, but I noticed that I had to strip all of the gear off of certain cpu- and grid-pushing loadouts and then re-equip it all for them to properly install at the correct cpu and grid usage and toggle online. But if I simply undock with the loadout it will activate itself properly in space.
Sure, everyone supports saving Einstein's brain, but when you put it in the body of a Great White Shark, suddenly you've "gone too far". |
