Don't the IGN's and Gamespot's of this world review games like this?

As above, this change effects PvE making it more of a PITA.

You either loot only what you need which is a lot of tedious micro management right clicking or you loot all (hotkeyable and convenient) but then have to disengage to destroy whatever is crap.

As you get close to your cargo limit this means that if you loot all, you have to disengage every 2 or 3 mobs.

Fully support that being able to destroy your loot in a PvP encounter is completly lame so ask the Devs for a more elegant solution.

The No delete cargo should be changed to not effect PvE encounters.

I loot everything as I farm and delete crap as I get filled up (loot all is hot keyable)

Now I either unagress before I can delete (interferes with DPS and NIC earning potential) or I will only loot what I need (more of a PITA as it's more clicking than "loot all") resulting in more container spam on the ground.

Otherwise, good patch overall

I'll be offering a "stuff" holding service for any toons that wanna delete themselves but pass their "stuff" to someone to hold for them to pass on to their new toon.

Obviously, if you are in a corp, use someone on there. This is for all the loners who have no mates.

You will need to trust me, but I won't scam you. All transfers will be using Red Five, not some obscure alt.

Let me know the time you will be on. Try and get all your "stuff" to the New Virginia Alpha.

There will be no charge, just wanna help out.

In this game they do, yes

You do know about the OCD phenomenon in stEve, right? There are plenty of people out there that hate to have wasted skills on their skill sheet and hate seeing it on others skilll sheets. It is not all in the mind, neither. Toons being sold in stEve that have wasted EP sell for less.

Lets say a combat toon has 40m skills in combat stuff and 10m skills in industry, he will sell for less than another toon that has 40m just in combat stuff and nothing else, cos of the OCD factor.

So because of this, in Perp, some n00bs are gonna start up new toons to check out the different wep sets.

This is not the be all and end all of reasons why people start new toons but it's a factor.

Confirming I dont have OCD btw, it's just other people

Its not quite as bad as my above figures as if I am at the herald spawn I sometimes have to wait for a new spawn to appear which never happens at the grunt spawn so lower my herald nic/ sec by, say 5-10%

This can be solved by making harder bots pay more after accounting for increased travel time, increased kill time and increased ammo use.

The Sevant Heralds outside TMA net me far better NIC than the Sevant Grunts that are 500m further away.

I can 2 shot the Heralds so that's 700 nic on ammo but I four or sometimes 5 shot grunts, thats 1400 at best in ammo

Herald 500m away

Kernal              5500
Random loot, say 500
                       ===
Total income    6000
Outlay in ammo 700
                     ====
Profit              5300

Time taken to kill 10s so 530 nic per second

Grunts 1000m away (more travel time but not taken into consideration)

Kernal                6500
Random loot, say 1000
                        ====
Total income       7500
Outlay in ammo   1400
                        ====
Profit                 6100

Time taken to kill 20s so 305 nic per second

I go farm the Grunts these days cos I felt a bit of a douch farming those newb bots but it is costing me serious NIC

Mark my words, Devs will change this *** policy.

Stop costing yourselves subs, Devs. People new to games just dive in and screw up. If they are penalised for this they shrug their shoulders and find another game to try out.

Zoom just cos you announce your *** policy a lot wont stop people here complaining about it. As stated 3 or 4 times by others. it was knee jerk and ill-thought through.

Hasn't effected me in the slightest by the way. Just helping out the ignorant n00bs

Good post Taco. I'm sure the Devs will read and appreciate it
