Personally I believe adding a view to the outside or camera bots will just lead to people sitting in station and not engaging.....

Deploy camera bot
See one hostile outside station
Send camera (or use radar) to see the other 5 guys 1500m away
Never undock

Deploy camera bot
Send camera bot to scout around outpost
Observe the complete enemy force
Refit in station
Undock in the exact counter to the enemy
People stop roaming near stations as the targets always undock in an exact counter. Quick change to an Ictus! They have Ictus. We need 2 Ictus to counter!

I think adding something that allows you to scout with no risk on beta is bad. There are too many ways that this can be used to avoid combat and that is not what beta is about.

This feature would also force attackers to have detectors fit themselves (or a detector alt) so they could detect the camera bot before they were detected themselves.....

SAP awareness feature-- I like. Make it possible for anyone with the roles to change the station auras to be able to see what SAPs are coming in the next 24hr period for their station. One more thing to encourage people to invest the time into quickly getting an outpost up to a required stability and maintaining it.

so you think the current undocking with a syndicate and no way of engaging the undocked pilot is a risk?  Please rethink and post accurate scenarios.  Currently; undocking and looking at the enemy is already a feature of 0 risk.  Right now you just undock a detector bot, see the fleet and dock back up to re-ship for counter.  Give the station radar a light bot site range and add in masker reductions as needed to limit what the station can see.

perhaps give an in station radar that can be disabled then remove SOME syndicate timer so there is like 4-5 second delay from protection to ability to redock?  This way there is risk for undocking to just look around.  If your in station radar is damaged, you take the risk to undock and repair the module.

AIDs have been removed from artifacts, we just forgot to remove them from elite NPCs, and didn't want to make another server restart only for that again. They will be removed during our next patch, which will probably happen on Monday.

Shield Need SPECIFIC HARDENERS!!! Thats The Big Problem

What your floating isn't an idea. If you had used the SEARCH button you would realize it........

For your next round of too lazy to search, please consider posting a topic regarding one of these:

Continents
Fall off bonuses for blue bots
Modular Robots
Contracts
Target sorting
Cargo Expansion
Ewar on killmails

You can take ewar on killmails off that list.  There are no syntec demobs or ecms.  You did see the corp tag?

[request] forum nazi's stop hijacking threads & refuse to comment if they don't like the idea

some referenced posts have no connection to ideas i've posted, some are poorly written and difficult to understand lacking proper grammer, other's have a similiar idea but i've expanded on them & since the post is month's old maybe a fresh look/discussion is worth it,

if you don't like the post then just stfu.

ty.

(or at the very least discuss the contents of the post, i dron't care if you don't like the idea)

Oh I'm sorry, do you want me to play your robot too?  I've already posted 2 or more replys to your other thread.  Read through the forums a bit before posting 15 new threads.  If your not sure how theres a sticky on The forums.

what does me asking you to stop hijacking my threads have to do with you playing my robot?, your reply's add nothing to the topic of the posts, you are so full of yourself thinking it's your "duty" to prevent other's from posting an idea in a forum marked "feature discussion and requests" even IF a similiar idea has been posted 2 months ago, what law am i breaking by posting my own spin on the idea?, even if the idea is something someone else has floated before what f'ing law am i breaking by posting it again instead of bumping that one?

get over yourself.

i could be wrong here, but i'm guessing the reason access to outposts that are owned is to prevent people from camping & waiting for a SAP to pop in the safety of the outpost.

what about allowing anyone to dock, but a 5 minute timer to conduct business (ie: pick up stuff that was in storage, place things on market, drop off in storage, and.....oh yea! MISSIONS...???
Then, when undocking, either by force with the timer, or voluntarily, a pvp timer (7 minutes i think it is?) so you can't redock to avoid pvp (possibly even remove protection).

would that work?, or is it something that would even be considered?

another idea for this, is charging a fee/tax for entrance, even with the above restrictions, maybe the fee/tax could be set by the owning corp

if we're trying to get beta more populated, why are we reducing the reasons for people to go to beta, i mean yes, i know there's a reason to goto beta for SAP's, but if you aren't that interested in pvp, but want to reap the benefits of beta (even though there's a risk of pvp) the incentives for going beta are, in their current condition, limited.

another idea i had for incentivising people to goto beta, would be (with the above idea of allowing limited access to outposts) to allow a corp to "sell" their buff for the island for an hour/2/4 whatever. the corp wins by more income, it incentivizes people to travel to beta, win-win

plz let me know how lame i am for asking these,

thanks again for your time.

but alexadar is also right when he tells that those two extensions are not the only ones necessary to make a good shield tank tyrannos, because its worth crap if you cannot fit anything on it.

No you guys are missing the point.  I know those 2 skills are not the ONLY thing necessary, but it's HUGE bonus.

My pre-nerfed t4 fit Troiar Mk2 -> if you took EVERY EXTENSION in the game at level 10 (minus Energy Management and Robotics) my Troiar Mk2 could tank -> 2 mechs

My pre-nerfed t4 fit Troiar Mk2 -> if you took ONLY Energy Management and Robotics level 10 (minus every other shield boosting extension) my Troiar Mk2 could tank -> 9 mechs

Those 2 extensions together give 4.5x more tanking power than all the other 300 extensions combined!

THAT is what is broken.

i wonder why some guys never get the rhetorical questions.

TBH, let the ones that actually play during the holidays take whatever they want, because that´s what Intrusion 2.0 is all about, right?

It doesn´t matter if it´s a system that may work great with 1000 players but is forced on the 150 players left on the server.

When you leave the game for a few days like me, it is our own fault, because Intrusion 2.0 is awesome as it is with the current playerbase, right?

And with that, merry Christmas to everyone, if you don´t have family or a life, have fun on empty islands.

IMHO this is where some of the others are coming from on Plex:

These can be used to keep players in the game that:

Do not have a credit card to pay
Cannot afford to pay $10 a month
Allow those rampant 12 year old WOW kiddies to play without having to use Mommy's visa.

Ultimately these types of players represent a tiny minority of the sandbox gaming community. Also, 99.9% of the people in the above categories won't look at a game they have to pay a subscription for to begin with. They stick to a F2P model game.

Introducing a Plex system in and of itself doesn't grow your player base (unless you factor in the RMT'ers). All it does is shift the money on an accounting line from recurring revenue to one time revenue.

Well if I somehow hadn't expressed this view I totally agree with you 100%.  Now if you can excuse me I somehow have to find and kill your masked E-War corpys who ambushed and killed my innocent industrial nerd corp bro who was out for an artifacting  stroll last night ...:yarr:

Awesome job on that kill btw RG, love those tactics.
