I am still crying tears of joy!

Thanks muchly Mobios.

"All NPCs on Beta have been switched to red, as intended"
"All mission NPCs have been switched to orange, on all islands"

Contradiction?

"Red NPCs will not agress passive bystanders unless the aggressor has left the area"

So, business as usual around a terminal, griefer brings the horde, target undocks, griefer docks. No difference.

And why allow PVP flagged bots to jump at externals? I didn't think it was a good idea when the change was implemented and I still don't.

Although I love the no jump on mobile with PvP flag change, you guys are making a lot of changes that favour the blob, and screw the little guy or the raiding party. I guess every engagement will boil down to numbers now.

Just my thinking.

This is the best change that happened to the game in 4 years.

No more get-out-of-jail-free cards!

To Dev Zoom, how does taking away small warfare tactics help a game with such a low population?

Its ok Syn, we all know this helps the blob no need to give us your logic since you guys used the same tactics in the past when you had smaller numbers.  You will say anything to defend this change since it only helps you.  If your Blob cant kill a few people before or even after they jump since they will still be stuck on island with a long instability then you have bigger problems.

RAD can be happy too, they can go PVP with you now safe in the knowledge that as long as you flag you can't leave them holding the bucket anymore.

I still can't stop laughing this is so delicious

I'm pretty sure you hold the record in this.

I'm not against this change. But now there is only one playstyle, numbers.
Would have been better for PvP to make externals no jumped while flagged but leave mobiles as jump as flagged. In most instances the small fleet can be caught on the externals.

Numbers, Numbers, numbers all the time now.

Why not just make it mandatory the any new player has to join a player corp right of the bat? A solo new player will not be able to "protect his mining fleet".

A solo player, or one or 2 small bots, will not be able to find a stray gank on Beta without a chance to escape. Well a smaller chance.

These changes lately, this tele change, the NPC change, neither one help any part of this game for new players at all, if anything its a deterrent. I just don't understand why you are shooting yourself in the foot here.

I was againt the SpT change because numbers power projection, not SpT. A cooldown would have been better, even 10 minutes.
I was against the follow nerf, until it became a forum warrior thread, then I went for it. I will miss my attaching demob cam.
I was against the suggestion of nerfing ewar, I'm glad it remains intact.
I was against the recent NPC changes, beacon pits should cease to exist with your new (maybe?) Gamma terraforming rules, but the griefing that remains possible is just stupid.
I am for limits on PvP flagged jumping with teles, not sure if you are doing it the right way.
Are you actually considering releasing the API info for PVE kills? Because you realize that is just a troll thread made in response to the death co ords on kill mails now, right?

Almost all of these changes have far greater impact on your future noob steamlings than me.  But its your game, you make these changes as you see fit, IMO I don't think its good for the overall health of this game, and I will play it as long as its enjoyable I guess. We will see.
