Account sharing provides for equal opportunity abuse, meaning ANYONE can do it.

But that's not what this is about. This is about DEFAMING and ENTIRE GROUP at every corner and turn in the game while PRETENDING that everyone else is innocent as the driven snow is pure.

Oh you're all such poor VICTIMS. Don't you guys ever tire of hunting witches?

Did you know there are two ways to discover a witch: (1) drown them and if they survive they are a witch, or (2) burn them and again if they survive they are a witch. I don't know then how to kill a witch, but I'm pretty sure once you discover one you're totally *** as they don't like to be discovered. Likely they will drown you, revive you before you die and then burn you till you die again for good. So it's perhaps not the best idea to go hunting witches. You have much better odds recruiting players, training them to pvp and sending them out to Beta to hunt 77/CIR.

Huh? Sparks disabled? Playing a different game? What are you talking about? Wait ...don't answer.

I still think the base cap is stupid and lazy idea. Base cap exploitation was bad enough with 10. With 3 it will be a breeze to lock down an island.

Anyone who does not lock down islands with 3 bases is a total FOOL.

I can already read the forum QQ about ~exploits~ and ~bad behavior~ as some of our favorite names blame players for using mechanics to there advantage rather than play Perpetuum Philanthropy with kitty gloves and free tea.

Before sparks no one ever even came close monopolizing Beta.
After sparks it's the now the norm

How more *** obvious could the problem be?

and I'm just poking fun

Game is not dead, just in a coma.

STC reigned over the server for long time too. I'm sure they were also blamed by some for its 'death.'

A few voices may point fingers of blame but reasonable people see through the bullshit. Game's issues are development, content, and mechanics, NOT player Behavior.

This game will always have *** ...like me. If you don't like it you can take my venerable Old Man's advice and Get Your Tough *** Card Punched.

Yes I read that and I think that is a useless tweak. It seems more like an attempt to placate the current forum campaign on lockout. It is NOT a solution to the problem ...the problem being easy control of all Beta outpost for whomever is the Dominant Power.

With Active defense requirement (corp only, no allies) and
More severe limitation of Sparks on Beta (if any allowed at all)
Imminent island distance change reducing IZ effectiveness
and return of Gamma as a place to draw some activity away from Beta

We may, may see a more accessible Beta. At least that is the goal. Fully achieving that goal will never come, in my opinion, with out massive increase in island count, but we all know the development time on that given current constraints.

This. 

As for SAPs I've always considered the auto defense mechanic broken. One of the objectives of Intrusion 2.0 was to encourage active usage of the outpost you own. Despite the time it may take to scan a dozen SAP timer that hardly constitutes a good reason to leave it. We're not supposed to be able to manage so many outposts.   

I like idea of some type of action for Defender to take, such as simply right clicking some panel for few seconds just to register a presence. This would not defend the SAP only activate the points received if no successful attack. A compromise would be to have reduced auto defense points, like 1/5 the current. So if you have an active SAP and no Defender is there to activate the thingy-mcbob, and no one attacks, defender gets 3 points. If defender activates thingy-mcgiggle  a d no successful attack then standard 15 points.

Point is that active presence should mean something.

Oh yeah, also *** kill sparks on Beta (or permit one and only one and only if you own outpost).

...and dreaming you are.

Even if you can access the stations you won't be able to do much of anything on Beta except hide. The brick wall you speak of is mobile and will surround whatever outpost you decide to work from.

Another thread/post count forum crusade by half dozen dudes who dont like current political climate.

Solution to dominating power projection issue lies elsewhere. Devs just need to listen.

Ya think!

Prepare for the river of QQ as creative pvpers find new interesting ways to push in your ***.

New tactics, new fits, new fleet comps. My mind boggles with the new pvp possibilities.

Dude, it's gonna be a whole new game.

Yes, of course ...don't want to eliminate the ability of stealthy entry. I just want to find ways to eliminate easy mobility of forces across ALL Beta. IZ ain't helping my Anti-Spark Crusade.

EDIT: just read above post and sound very promising.

All valid points, well articulated and thankfully lacking the typical ugly finger pointing seen too much on the forum lately.

Even if you are completely right to point out all these Problems, I cannot agree that forcing players into one account is the Solution. Aside from being impractical it's totally unfair to those individuals who own multiple accounts.

There are countless threads out there detailing all the shortcomings of Perpetuum with regard to content, playability, competitiveness, and general fun. Rather than work through the development of all these issues you would simply short cut those problems and implement a draconian solution that would certainly eliminate the vast majority of vets. And how long before the new players, seeing the deficiencies of single account ownership, jump ship Themistocles?

Forcing one-account accessibility in the short tern is a death sentence.
