Every system even approaching being a decent mining system will be horribly surprise-sex-caged in 3... 2... 1...
Still, overall, some good changes here! Jester's Trek: wherein I ramble about EVE Online, gaming, and from time to time... life. |

First you remove my alloys, risking the possibility of destroying our economy for a long period of time. Then you keep Mining so ******* boring that most people can only bear doing it by Botting. But then you crack down on bots. THEN, you **** up my trusec.
I've been very understanding of you, CCP, but this is a step too far. Thanks for destroying the value of my home. My moncole doubles as a cigarette lighter, a flashlight, a laser and x-ray goggles. If you haven't noticed yet, I'm in love with Punkturis. -á-á-á

These drone changes are good for miners, however, all of these changes are going to screw the manufacturers so hard that everything will double in price. It's already started to happen with a lot of bigger ships. When is CCP going to step in to adjust prices to be manageable again? |

Interesting changes which are already shaping EVE mineral markets today.
So a couple of questions: 1) Will Rogue Drones start dropping normal loot? 2) Will Rogue Drones salvage be increased? It seems today their salvage is quite below par. 3) Will you look into Rogue Drone exploration sites and escalations? Currently, their value is very low (who really wants 'augmented' or 'Integrated' drones?) and could use some new modules / blue prints / etc to be as interesting as the pirate faction drops. 4) How long will it take for the insurance values to adjust to the change in mineral prices? Already, the mineral prices have shot up significantly, and I assume the market will take months after this (if not longer) to adjust to the new realities. It seems a bit unfair if the insurance value for T1 ships lags so far behind players don't get compensated for these drastic changes. They say that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. I always have the best intentions for others ... |

Copypasta from the blog.
Quote:In Crucible 1.5, released on 13th March 2012, he added 3 more deadspace sites, bringing us to a point where we now have all 1/10 to 10/10 pirate deadspace sites in game, bringing this project close to completion. Is this a fact? I've yet to encounter a 6/10 serpentis plex, that's why i'm asking for confirmation. |

but.. think of the miners dude! They need love too <3
I recent news, all exhumers have been removed from the market because 99.95% if them have been suicide ganked because they SUCK at tanking anything including ships 1/10000th their cost. |

Not sure if the Incursion changes will have much effect on how they're run, but we'll just have to see.
Any change that gives more player targets to shoot is a welcome one. These changes will be on SISI tomorrow (hopefully - definitely this week!) They are exactly the same progression as the existing pirate NPCs
Can we have a "moveme" to drone regions? |

But that means drones still will be of low value due to no sec status gain and no loot. Suggestion: Have then drop greatly reduced alloys, just enough that the mineral injection is no more than any other NPC. Also you could add drone alloys to the bill of materials for T2 drones. http://vincentoneve.wordpress.com/ |

Securitas Protector wrote:As part of this change, weGÇÿre also adjusting the security status of drone region systems. As you can see from the image above, the change is an upward adjustment in truesec across most regions, with the ones closer to empire ending up with a higher truesec than the ones further away. The overall goal of all these changes is to make the drone regions more economically balanced, and to reduce the downward pressure on mineral prices from the drone regions so mining becomes more profitable.
Am I the only one who saw the opposite on the image? All of them had either the same average truesec or lower, but in the dev blog it says the change is an UPWARD adjustment.
Sec values are getting less negative, therefore going upward (towards positive infinity). Talking about negative values is awkward :/ |

Also it would be realy interesting to fave a tab for each player store its stuff...( remove the tabs and add folders or something like it...)... this could also be applied to assembly arrays! The problem is that POS hangars and so on are all extensions of the corporation hangar stuff, and as such are tied into the horrible mess which is corp mechanics as they are at the moment. All the UI stuff is getting some love, which will help a little, but without effectively scrapping and rewriting all of the corp mechanics (and the new an interesting ways that could break things) means its probably not going to be possible for quite some time.
Oh... this is a really deep problem... everyone that manages corps hates the actual system, it is a mess... So I bet that CCP will need to fix this in the next couple of years, especially if they want to fix the industry after the inferno... |

Oh and thanks for not answering peoples question in the forums, I think its swell that you can start a thread and then ignore the conversation that arises, really.
Do you think in the future, before you make these changes, you could post your intentions and thoughts and get our feedback BEFORE you wreck an economy?

I've been very understanding of you, CCP, but this is a step too far. Thanks for destroying the value of my home. Your first 5 words pointed out your NIMBY-douchbaggery. The rest of your words confirmed it.
I'm glad you have come to the realisation that the game developers are here to make the game better, not to cater to your childish whining. Or at least i'm happy you understand the last part.
I hope your monocle was a gift. Welcome to EVE online, here's your rubix cube, go F*** yourself GÖÑ |

Wondering if this is going to effect the chance of T2 salvage from Rogue Drones too? T2 salvage alone is not enough to get anyone to run the drone exploration plexs as it is now since they don't drop modules. But maybe (I doubt it though) T2 salvage and bounties might. |

Giving drones with bounties, but then no sec status increase doesn't make sense. ATM, Rogue Drones replicate themselves, thus CONCORD has no idea that they exist unless killing them sends a signal that the NPC has died, and that it had to exist in order to die. CONCORD acknowledges that the NPC died, awards bounty but no sec status increase? In order for BOUNTIES to work you must be WANTED by CONCORD. I'm really disappointed in the Devs that tackled the Drone Region problem. My moncole doubles as a cigarette lighter, a flashlight, a laser and x-ray goggles.

I'm sorry, do you think that someone is gonna be running high sec L4s with T1 guns and get 60M/hr? 60M/hr with utter and total scrubs is freaking amazing for that kind of minimal SP investment.

I understand the effect on mining which is why I propose a different change
What about the drones dropping components required for T2 drone production - and that was the only way to get them
This gives them more flavor, something other than a bounty, and makes the nullsec drone regions something valuable and worth fighting over. The alliances that control T2 drone production could end up quite wealthy. It also doesn't create an additional isk faucet like the bounty change will create. I like this! ISK faucet (like everywhere else), but no longer a mineral faucet (like everywhere else), and something unique worth fighting over! |

This change was pointed by CSM in the last meeting, so it is the community voice that is supporting this changes. It was needed...
I'm really sorry for you living in the drone region, now you will rat for isk, not for minerals, so you will buy minerals with isk, from the miners... and the game will be to you as it is for everyone else... so give them some love... the more miners there is the less isk you will need to pay for your minerals... |

Given that *every* NPC faction HATES drones (except maybe Sansha, but that's because he's, well, a couple fries short of a Happy Meal), it would make sense to give a factional boost (but not security) for killing them. Also a potential conflict driver for the drone regions. |

I'm not the only one to ask, but will drones now drop modules? Or anything? Will they all have empty wrecks? If they don't drop some kind of loot they'll still be less rewarding than shooting pirates (at least for those of us who have an alt in a Noctis following behind to salvage). About 11% less than pirates rewarding according to pre-nerf numbers anyway; I'd guess about 7% less than pirates afterward the loot nerf based on my records. |

Will rogue drones have officer and faction spawns and if so do we know what kind of loot they'll be dropping?
Please answer this so I can decide if I need to get a larger chalice to collect drone region resident tears in. |
