Your right, its about market awareness.  Non of those you mention have much impact.

You spoil us by lavashing us with so much credit!  That a small corp which started out from scratch less than a year ago can single handedly crush the will of so many people..    I'm blushing!

I dont think anyone is worried,  all mechs can roam.   Noone really picks a race based on how good that races mech is at roaming and FC's will go roaming with whoever is available. 

Number of pilots is still more important than the type of pilots.  But if that FC could configure his roam based on whatever the Dev's feel is flavor of the month then it certainly gives them more power.

In fact...  seing that that Dev's are so indecisive about their balancing I think its time to start cross speccing into Green as well as blue and yellow!!  lol

Yea, I quite like it!... especially making the differences between tiers.

I always thought that with the huge amount of energy detecting takes that it should also temporarily increase interference, or even make you more detectable.

  I dont need to prove a thing, normally with a persistant MMO, balancing is a very delicate operation with slow incremental changes over long periods of time.

They havnt changed since release.. now in the space of a few weeks EM guns and Blue in general have had drastic nerfs with yellow having dramatic buffs.

Im not saying they are not balanced, im just saying that I get the impression that the sudden change feels very.. emotional.

I think the OP is pointing out that word of mouth is actually the worst form of advertising, at the very least, its inadequate.

Yea there is a bit of a lul in on-line players at the moment,  think were all waiting for some big changes on the pvp front. (as per blog: Intrustion 2.0)

so plenty of time to get yourself up to speed

I dont have stuff, it all belongs to the empire

With armor tuners now being heaver AND less effective its had a double nerf.

With weapon tuners being reduced in weight AND given crit chance its had a double boost.   So there is never any reason for the old lemon fit...  in fact, there is never any reason to tank at all now, in anything. 

Even the Kains bonus to armor repping means nothing,  since everyone now has a much higher DPS capability.

The game is now about who can shoot first... so the Artemis, with it already having a crit bonus can now fit loads of weapon tuners, crit nexus, you get between 30 / 40% crit chance..

so either you fit the old lemon, and get destroyed because everyone has huge crit, and you cant rep anymore or you yourself fit for pure dps and hope to hit them first.

I dont get it, but it makes me mad!

yea, not even a word on the new 'elite ai' spawns and that was expected so long ago that I think people have forgotton about them now.

So much is expected imminently that I can only assume they are planning another "suprise patch" where they've crammed everything in and then have to spend the next month trying to figure out what they've broken again.

I agree that there needs to be something in place for intrusion 2.0, but, specifically for that mechanic!

I dont agree that we need alliances features with such an ever shrinking player base.

Kudos to the OP for a well thought out system.  Maybe Dev's could book mark it for a future time when/if the PCU is above 1000.

I kinda agree... and just saying "omg read the blog" isn't a good enough argument since nothing in those blogs really reveals that much more content.   revamp to alpha island missions.. yea, great.

Apart from the indication of player built structures at the end of the year, which is really what weve all been dreaming about since release.

PvP is indeed content in itself, but guess what? pvp needs players.. and with recent trends there will be less that 100 players on line at anyone time, even then half of them are non-combatants.

ironic that the biggest content update to Perpetuum has come from CCP in the form of players

LoS Stuff;
completely agree with all that, there must be code already existing and being used to determine LoS, it makes no sense at all why there is no indicator.  From a lore perspective and from a technical perspective.   I guess its just low priority.
