Excellent points. There are many counters to the extended range S-demob. People so damn quick to cry Nerf.

I especially like the points related to "max damage" fitting mentality. Interesting... must ponder.

+1 for creative thinking. This sounds like artillery with a twist. I like the general idea of a spotter bot. Would probably be cooler on future light stealthy bots (see signature).

If tile selection becomes option to mechanics in future, great then artillery. This can work just as well with non-area affect weapons that target specific bots/buildings.

Imagine stealthy bot with stealthy target painter locking up oblivious target to be insta-popped by squad of these long range beasts. What OP describes requires quite a few new bots and mechanics. Would be cool, some day hopefully...

Huh? Those look like remote sensor boosters to me. Is that something else? If you think remote sensor boosters on a Zenith is *** you should re-evaluate. E-war mechs very often remote sensor each other ...FYI.

And with 4 S-demobs you're not gonna get the 'game breaking' range the OP is talking about. You will be in the fight. Long range demobbing Zenith typically only fit one ...MK2s fit 2. Plus you need e-war nexus for those super long ranges. It's all pretty fit intensive. Give/take, ya know.

There is also a huge difference between EVE's hundreds of developers and Perpetuum's, what 10? The point was not to compare the massive station walking project to a static graphic update, but to highlight the idea that INTERIOR design of Terminals is not gonna win your customers. Unless you are making user interfaces easier and cleaner, the inside of the terminal is of very little importance to gameplay and the things this game needs.

I for one do not need all the busy graphics pulling my attention away to the tasks I do in station. I like the clean holograph.

And the sheep goes... Baaaha

Everyone needs to be able to communicate on comms in smaller/med gangs. It can get a little crazy even with good comms discipline, but it's hella lot more fun than waiting for every single directive before moving an inch. People need to be able to act independently and communicate the relevant, succinctly.

Sure if you have like 30 plus people in squad then at least the DPS crew needs to be quiet. But you can still set up whispers for communicating Ewar and the like.

Point is, yeah, you need a mic to PvP.

EDIT: oh and uh, I don't speak for 62nd ...just one man's opinion.

I've not liked any LWF idea changes until this one, including OP. A consistent mass reduction could work for me as long as that it's same or better than current T4. Going slower across the board would suck.

As for drawback, sure scale the armor reduction and demob resists as you go up the tiers.

Without a game mechanic to control the process you would have to rely on a person's word to honor the agreement. So your offer would require an individual to send you the game code outside of the game. Then when they log in, HOPE you actually trade them the ICE.

That brilliant idea would never be prone to scams, oh no

How about asking them to meet you somewhere on Beta to make the exchange?

And other thing, as population increases, some nicely terraformed Islands may be the first targets of larger growing groups. I'd rather sit around watching someone terraform my base for me

Plus add an online player count ...perhaps only visible to subbed accounts.

Not so related to bonuses, but how about modifying those useless missile slots to fit neuts/drainers?
