After reading Abyss' post, I had to chime in... No, you cannot avoid using drones, they're mandatory now, as you'll never hit frigs if they so happen to come close (or spawn close to gate). ECCMs are not viable to fit with some of the QR changes to needed mods (TPs, # of webs to be effective, etc)...
Don't suggest bringing more people, as the income penalty is greater than having a ninja salvager every so often. Some people like MMOs because they're persistent, not for group activities (I don't want to be forced to group up when not profitable).
Same as with drones, that were limited to 5 only (interface multiplies their dmg), I see this as a CCP way to solve things:
-You could 1/2 the ships in a mission and 2x their damage, as long as the bursts are not humongous that req 2x the tank.
-That doubles bounties, and 1/2s the containers, so there's less gathering altogether, and you can choose to pop wrecks if nijas bother you that much.
-Loot amounts can be decreased but increase bounties amounts to keep same ratio.
-Keep in mind that corp tax will hit for more if bounties are moved up, whereas selling of the loot/mins is not currently affected by corp tax (although that extra taxing might reduce mining ops for POS fuel and the like, hiring more miners that are supposed to be 'starving')
-There will be more isk and less mins in markets. Something other than Trit will be profitable
That sounds to me like the CCP way. For those asking for a more PVP fit in PVE, there will always be a few differences, PVE is often active tank (we don't all fly passive Drakes, myrms, or the like), where PVP is mostly buffer. Cap warfare doesnt work on NPCs, neither does some EW, etc etc...
NPCs using drones = LOL, since lag was the cause why player drones were reduced. If that's the case, I'd like 10 drones from a domi and 15 possible fighters from carrier (before level/mods)
Also, if missions are re-written, would the current ones dissapear? Or could we have these new type of mish from the agents with 0+ rating? BTW these changes could apply to lvl 1-3 as well.
Just don't mix dmg types within a mission, otherwise ommi and compensation skills would be the rule...
