15 vs 15 qued battles?
How is that open world?
Not sure I understand what you mean.

I think your fully under-estimating the capabalities of some corps. Or not realizing their intentions with going to a gama... Some of us will only want to harrass the others (kicking the corner of the castle) while others will want to take the area (stomping it until theres a pit).

Nom Noms

+1 for test server good idea. No waste of Nic to practice killing my self against defences!!!!

turd star..... pffffff those are the fun ones where you forget to turn on your RR bot and wonder why your mk2 seth is smoking and on fire as you start to panic you see your RR bot isn't even following you.

No one would have objections? If you needed player built items to exchange while getting officer type items as rewards from token shop? It keeps the flow of items player funded.

Actually my wife is a big time solo RPG player she is up to date on all solo Final Fantasy titles and loves quiet a few other RPG hack and slash type games God of War, Dantes inferno and a few others. Gotta get a woman that likes games but it is quite possible she did this! But I can't complain the timeing was ok we just had a great early spring with out any rain since the incident. And she just got off the phone with the ISP who said hopefully tomorrow it will be back up and running. /me crosses fingers

Double post sorry

In that other game to get officer class items you would have to give the best player made item some cash and some tokens (dog tags)

For example: I want a XXXX class LCL Laser, I would bring to the mission exchange hub a t4 LCL laser 5 mil nic and 1000 tokens. I would turn that in just like a mission and the reward would be the xxxx class LCL.

Thus it creates a NIC sink a time sink and a player made mod swap. It keeps us all happy.

You could even take it a step further and make them a 1 run 1 cycle CT, then ballance the mats and mods required to build it. That really puts the ball back in the players court as they could put up buy orders for these CTs, or the tokens buying them off new players makeing the game more new player friendly.

I have to agee with Corp non agression PVP being allow its allowed in stEVE and that was a big thing you had to trust all your corp members not to blast you, Even in High sec.

Honestly a support bot in a total carnage fest like this won't last long anyway heck even 4-5 won't save you if enough people show up. I just wanted to point out that a single alliance could show up in heavys with 2x the amount of support bots and just call primarys and let the support bots try and keep up with any damage they take. I know some peoples support accounts can rep up to 3.5k every 9 seconds cap stable. Plus we have seen the majority of peoples accounts follow their H-mech or Mk2 heavy, I can list you quite a few peoples alts off the top of my head.

Kanogi brought this up not to long ago and requested the fall off bonus be swapped to anything that would help the kain.

I can only speak as a vet who has played with people who pilot kains, I have never piloted one in to pvp but was very disapointed with it for pve (my indy alt with poor skills but was still disapointed).

Kains have the DPS to kill both artemis and tyrannos if they prepare for their fight or have good back up.

Possible solutions:
1.Start throwing a supressor on your kain to decrease the enemys locking range I know that its not the weapon range but if every one in your fleet had 1-2 you could easly out manuever and out range your enemy.
2.Have a friend RSA(remote sensor amp) you while you run more range extenders. I have seen this set up wreck an enemy fleet. 2 kains RSA'd with crit, assault, and speed nexus and a cammy running a l-demob and 2 ecms.
3.Use the environment more to your advantage. Make the enemy push well in to your optimal before locking and shooting, hide behind hill crests so the enemy must push in to your optimal, duck back in to cover when primary.
4. Use ECMs and break their locks as you push in closer and closer... < good solo tactic not so sound against a fleet.
5. If your are in a fleet try to hide your kain pilots in an ambush location and engage the enemy when they either have to push through the kains or the main element of your attack to run away.
6. The old speed fit kain was 2 small reppers and a frame and a resist. I've even run that on an artimis with success.

Q1. Any rules on multi-boxing / accounting while in this?
Q2. Do you anticipate seeing an alliance turn up with 8 RR bots and work together to stay ahead?
Q3. So after your 3rd Kill Lose your kills don't count. What if I kill some one on a good streak after my kills don't count does that effectivly end his streak?

If my ISP gets me some interwebs going I'll try to Fraps the whole thing. Sounds like fun.
