Topic: SAP's

Dev's Because attacking a sap is a hostile action just like many others please add it as a PvP flag-able event.

The way the mechanic should work:


Spec ~ If you deposit items you should flag
Active ~ if you are hacking you should flag
Passive ~ If your sitting on it and your counter is increasing you should flag
Destro ~ if you do damage to the sap you should flag


This (attack) is an assault on an outpost so it should be considered as such.

Tux ~ Kill the messenger, he was part of it all along.
Euripides ~ Ten soldiers wisely led will beat a hundred without a head.
Bertrand Russell ~ War does not determine who is right - only who is left.

Re: SAP's

Agree with everything but the specimen. That stops someone solo doing it from a station.

Proverbs 23:20-21 warns us, “Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat, for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags."

Re: SAP's

Well even on the Spec 4 items sap / 5 min flag per item you could still solo it in one hour if you try.

+1

Little reluctant on the Specimen part given it's already PIA, especially with addition of new Flag mechanic on Mobile TP. But still good with the bad.

Re: SAP's

Make this change while you change speciman to a premade 80U item that can be crafted.

Re: SAP's

I  agree the speciman needs to be fixed ...

Currently having it either 3 or 4 makes no sense + add in random items even less sense.

I would be all for changing the Speciman to a single 300U or 600U item (epri based craft-able or 5 mill on npc market) ... this should come with 30 minute sap windows, if you do not need to make several trips for the speciman then 1 hour window is not needed.

Because the sap could be finished in seconds you would need to balance the fast completion with some type of risk which means needing a Lithus or even Scarab to carry the item.

That's not true. Like Tux said by the time you reach the station your flag is pretty much expired. We are talking about solo after all so no pre-charged teleport beacons.

+1 but spec processing.
