Hear that? That's the sound of neutral RR alts being sold in a few months.
Velicia Tuoro wrote:New "suspect" flag
- Minor crimes. Anyone can shoot you without penalty.
- Flipping a can for example
- Shooting someone makes you a suspect (I think)
Wait...so I can shoot someone without being concorded now? But can flipping carries the same penalty as actually firing on someone? I don't know whether to laugh maniacally or cry.
Velicia Tuoro wrote:Criminal Flag
- Is like current GCC
- Killing someone makes you a criminal
- Some sort of buff/tweak for concord? Insta-death, rather than ships
- Appear to have not considered high sec delays due to system security status.
- Considering warp scram ray, then death ray in x secs afterwards.
Terrible. Keep Concord but buff them to prevent long-term evasion.

This makes me happy.

And pound dscan for probes if I'm around and have reason to think there are valid targets to be had.

CCP Greyscale wrote:Can-flipping as-is will be impossible once the safeties are added. People should be able to choose to do dumb things, but they should also have the information they need to figure out that the thing they're doing is dumb.
I want to clarify here: when I'm racing another explorer in a Gurista Scout Outpost and he pops the tower, will I be able to steal the loot from the can at the risk of him engaging me?
Because if you break that mechanic, you've taken away something that was JUST FINE.
And if someone wants to whine about how it's not fair that I took from "their" can, what about the fact that I did 90% of the damage in room 1 to unlock the gate and they just got lucky and landed the final blow on the tower?
There's a lot more to consider here than "that's my can because I shot that rat".

Steve Ronuken wrote:At the risk of him, and everyone else, for the length of the timer, engaging you. Pretty much like Low-sec. Concord won't give a damn. As long as you turn off the safety that stops you stealing.
That's the 'misdemeanors' level, which would suspect flag you.
'Felony' level stuff has concord.
Basically, if it'd currently flag you for aggression to another player, it flags you for all.
If it would get Concord after you, it still will
So...good loot AND more chance of combat? Sign me up. I can evade the world for 15 minutes if I have to.

Steve Ronuken wrote:The main downside I can see, is a reduction in Incursion bear tears, because they're less likely to pickup a GCC in a Logi chain.
CCP seems hell bent on keeping us from doing anything like that ever again. Oh well, we had two good runs of it :)

Yonis Kador wrote:Without a finalized plan, for the most part, these Crimewatch changes seem pretty sound. As long as high sec players have an option for consensual pvp ...maybe even a popup......Soandso has invited you to consensual pvp....do you accept y/n? .... the rest makes perfect sense. If I'm walking down the street and I see some dude kick an old lady in the face and steal her purse, I should be able to chase that guy down, make a citizen's arrest, and get her purse back without consequence. This won't end high-sec crime - and as criminals often do, I'm sure people are already working to circumvent the new rules - it's just providing realistic consequences for a place termed "high security."
They're going to dumb down aggression mechanics to save people who won't bother to learn them. That's NOT a good thing. It will dilute what is presently a rich game universe because CCP prefers to reinvent the wheel rather than write good documentation on it.
Yonis Kador wrote: The first thing we do in EVE is choose a race but our choice plays almost no part in most people's adventure.
And I'm glad of that. I'd hate to be affected two years in by MY VERY FIRST CHOICE IN THE GAME. "What, you chose the wrong race when you were completely new to the game? Too bad!"
Yonis Kador wrote: Your relationship with your government should influence virtually everything imo. Got a 10.0 faction standing with Caldari? If you get ganked anywhere in Caldari space, Concord arrival time should be significantly decreased since they're rushing to help a VIP. I envision faction standing being a factor in calculating taxes, trades, police response time, sec status hits, and if you want to get crafty, maybe even warp speed and/or an ehp bonus when in favored space.
Only if such a standing were to making you hated by the Gallente and unable to enter their space.
Yonis Kador wrote:Players need some kind of encouragement to venture into low beyond increased financial gain. That's already there.
It is? Lowsec is more profitable than high? Really? Maybe if I were running around empty lowsec without fear of pirates, sure. But having to sit cloaked in a safe spot waiting for a roam to give up on finding you and pass by sort of eats into the profit margin. Highsec has a much better isk/hour ratio.
Yonis Kador wrote: So how do you get those less-inclined to take risks to venture out? Maybe an ehp bonus might be helpful. +15 percent in low and +25 in null?
Everyone would have it. What would be the point?
