Not as big as yours )))

Imo if you thought u were in a no win situation, you could just hand over the victory without the unnecessary running around. 250 people were watching a tourny expecting a fight and you failed to deliver, in fact you tried to get out without a financial loss which is totally opposite of the tournament ideas, and insulted the opposing team and all viewers with your actions. It would have been better to a) lose 5x t1 nonequipped bots, b) to simply hand over victory by contacting a dev, c) failsimulate terminal sickness by not appearing.

And let's not forget that it took you 5 minutes to appear in the arena AFTER CIR already fully fielded for everyone to see.

Your act not only showed a failed fight but also a shaming flaw in character, that will probably mark you and your corp in the perpetuum future. Your post above does the same. If you ever troll or slander another corp again, you'll probably get this tourny's vid linked in your face for a reason.

Now I am even more informed.

Where the *** did I say anything about CIR? Grow the *** up.

edit: wow fukcs didnt get asterisked? weird.....

.... when trolls troll a kitten dies ....

Just hope it's not THE kitten.... so be careful who you troll

SKYRIM

resubbing eve-online 2 accounts in 2 weeks.

EDIT: forgot: robot unicorn attack

Never gave it much  thought myself lol, though very valid points. Since I was so young when star trek was aired ( I only consider TNG and TOS "true" ST, though DS9's my fav and VOY aint half bad, ENT I don't wanna talk about ) but yea, "Raise shields" is loopy

And to keep the post on subject, imo shields are cool now (from gameplay point of view) and see no reason to change their mechanics.

Let's get it to 2.12 then fast :S

I actually agree on this. +1. Stop fukcing b1tching about the walking part of the game already. It's fine, in fact, the beta's (As stated by OP) could use LESS TPs.
You walk in every game. Even eve online, though they have somewhat more fancy way of doing it there and you need to wait it out. Did you ever realise that on average every time you initialize warp in eve, you lose a minute of your game play? the *** warp acceleration and deceleration take close to 30 seconds.

Hmz..

I think I missed the :awesome: part most of the details are as predicted and/or requested, however i disagree with 2 details:

1) 24 hour cooldown for auras. I don't see why this prenerf, but i figure it's taken as some kind of a pressure valve for possible technical difficulties (updating everyone on a single island with aura change would be server cpu consuming, and spamming it each second would probably crash the server) but I think that a 15 minute cooldown would completely suffice, 60 minute at most. 24hour is plain overkill and serves no purpose whatsoever. With this   you cant even change aura to help yourself in different tasks, so this aura thing is either "turned on" for one general purpose on an island and that's it or it's not. No extra gameplay with it. Seriously? You made a whole new *** gameplay system and we're just gonna turn it on and that's it? Rethink this fast and realize the potential it could have if you made a more sensible cooldown.

2) intrusion time scanning ammo? WTF? what's the *** purpose of RANDOM intrusion events if you can  scan them down? This actually destroys the current gameplay (where u KNOW when the next intrusion is gonna be), because every top corporation is gonna have to have spying alts on all (major) outposts. This means that all you did was complicate the gameplay regarding the intrusion system for most players and NOT made it fun. If you kept the intrusion system random and with NO scanning timers possible, the system woudl be fun, and roaming squads would have much meaning, thus allowing smaller forces to influence bigger ones. With it, it's again top corps vs top corps but with added complications and added spy alts. Very bad idea and at most a poor attempt to get a couple more accounts.

Otherwise superb blog, probably superb coding execution, but that remains to be seen. The auras idea is nice, tbh I don't agree with loot at saps, because auras and outpost mechanisms should be enough incentive for the Intrusions. But ok, you want us to have loot? thank you very much. We didn't need it Am.

As stated numerous times in the past month, this patch will be a step in the right direction, however it is only a small step (yes, sorry, it is) and the whole marathon (of getting the game rolling with >1k subs) is still ahead.

Friday's running out devs :S

Blog? Notes? Whiskey?

I know you said "probably" zoom, but nov'11 is kinda running out and the user peak graph seems to be dropping again.
