Re: Sensor Amplification
Umm when STC takes Betas and Gammas, they're undefended as in the owners don't even log in or have unsubbed.
When you take Betas and Gammas they're .... undefended as in you "waited" or you "decided not to defend it" or your fleets got wiped and you did not come back.You have not done anything we did not expect. SpT wasn't the reason you were able to.
You could have done it with half the sparks. If there was a problem with SpT it was never the amount, it was the no cooldown between them. Missions and tokens production would not have been possible if a cooldown of longer than the time it took to walk between the farthest stations to get assignments was in place, and thats about 10 minutes. Your mind is in the mission and logistics aspect of SpT, so I'm not surprised you bring this garbage up and throw it in with Instant Power Projection.You guys could do most anything PvP wise in 10 minutes if you were smart about it Yes, it's possible to be about anywhere in 10 minutes, but that hardly means people will be WILLING to criss-cross the map at a moments notice everytime there was a SAP active or some POSSIBLE fight. And how many fights are still going on after 10 minutes? ...you missed it. Most times a person teleports to a POSSIBLE target location, rarely a SURE one. It would be extremely boring to run back and forth on the map every time there is a SAP or a POSSIBLE fight. People will not drop what they are doing and INVEST the TIME for that, not even 10 minutes. Those 10 minutes stack up when you do that 10-15 times. And doing that 10-15 times a day is what happens with Sparks ...more really.
Because this game does not have remote contracts, and travel sucks in the game a huge byproduct of this change will be to make remote mining operations much less efficient and managing market orders quickly in multiple locations extremely difficult. These are perfectly understandable inconveniences that the Spark Nerf make more problematic. And I am with you in finding solutions for these problems, like a Contract System and Remote Buy/Sell Orders and Better Teleport and Highways System. Sparks is a bad solution to those specific problems.
But hey, you guys are just PvPers, and evidenced by your "The followbot nerf hurts us, so nerf everyone equally ...because! (Gunner Logic)", I don't expect you to think of other aspects of this game. Again, you have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to thinking you know the thoughts and motivations behind these arguments. You're so lost in the Corp Dialogue lens its just sad.
