We don't lose guys to observers either. I think of them as standard npcs that roam further.

Basically, it ain't hard to avoid them and if you're getting whacked by them and NEX ain't you are doing something very very wrong.

In a softball tournement, you don't get any special bonus in life for being the champion, you do it to test yourself and your team against others.

There doesn't have to be a super-shiny toy at the bottom of the beta outpost cereal box. But sure as long as the community has the idea that "I didn't want that outpost anyway" then they'll never be a good enough reason to strive for it.

All it takes is some leaders to step forward and say, "This is important." if you can take and hold an outpost then we'll respect you. This risk v reward is a bunch of krap. Maybe something is worth doing just because it's difficult.

M2S understands this game concept, and they want to be the best on the server. This new change with setting access to outposts is going to make it really really hard for corporations to beat M2S, since the attackers can't move in a force during off hours, they acutally don't have to have people at each outpost until the intrusions are scheduled.

Be sure to bookmark this post, when 3 months from now everyone is complaining about how m2s is too powerful again because everyone else thought outpost were worthless.

/end rant

I'm pretty sure I was with you on that roam.  I lol'd.

Yes, you can miss them if they are inside of a spawn, and tbh I think thats pretty damn cool.

This is just a good reason to familiarize yourself with an islands, and a way you can get the "home field advantage".  Know what spawns have what in them, and how many there are.  The names area already blaringly obvious on the landmarks list.

This just feels to me like an easy-mode solution for something that really doesnt need fixing.  We already have AI/NPC that are way too easy in nearly every case.  Making any changes that would make them easier does not have my vote.
