Structure spam online holy fuck dude

Yeah, that's why I'd also restrict the number of structures you could put down in a system, or perhaps a constellation, too.

Everywhere? Even lowsec and highsec?

Caps docking in NPC stations - yes, everywhere - you want to own them, be prepared to have to build the infrastructure to support them.

Capping NPC station hangar capacities - no not everywhere, just in nullsec - if organizations out there want to hold space, they should have to create their own infrastructure from the ground up in order to do so.

Like it or not, NPC nullsec is called NPC nullsec for a reason. It doesn't belong to a player alliance, it belongs to the faction that holds sov.

so since you are online again, fake hair and all, why is ccp selling sp?

We put some SP into a starter pack because we thought it'd help new players with the restriction of buying one per account.

We failed to restrict the starter pack to new accounts, and when this was pointed out by the community, we realized we'd screwed up and released a clarification to say that we'd be fixing this. A fix is in the works afaik.

Whether you like it or not, the games industry is changing and EVE needs to change with it. That's just the reality of things.

The intention isn't to break down the core pillars of what make EVE the game it is, but at the same time if we can ease the path for new players to get into the game and have fun, then we'll look at doing so - even at the risk of rustling the jimmies of some of our existing players along the way.

I'll be direct and say that this is of course my own opinion and not the opinion of CCP, but personally I'm getting tired of people freaking out every time we try something that might help with new player retention or give ...

Fortunately, the developers of citadels understood a very basic fact: players will perform acts of drudgery adjacent to self-harm to reduce risk, if the alternative is there. That alternative is NPC stations. These developers had the following bold precept in mind when they developed the feature: players should enjoy the video game, and not have to do bullshit make-work.

That alternative is NPC stations.

Yeah, that's why I'd also stop caps from docking in NPC stations too, and put a cap their hangar capacity as well :)

Well i prefer strong NPC nullsec with PVP oriented groups living there again.
And removal of easy LP - aka burners
And no injectors
And single structure per system capable of providing basic needs for all players.
And upper limit on how many accounts player can have.
And no interdiction on interceptors.
But this is just me...

As for your points :

I'd prefer no asset safety personally.
players will keep most of the assets in NPC stations
And limits on hangar capacity in upwell structures.
read above
And no more tethering, only mooring for supercapitals.
hell why not, RIP NCPL fleet
And supercapitals not being able to dock in structures.
been there, liked it
And limits on number of supercaps that can moor at a structure.
yes please ... but be sure it will not lead to structure spam
But that's just me...

You can only make me so hard. Be careful with the power you wield.

I don't wield any power.

If I did, New Eden would be a hellscape of hardcore torture where you had to work to achieve and maintain greatness.

Do you have possibly the best job ever?

Pretty much.

In all honesty, I don't feel like I have a job.

I just do something awesome that I enjoy and happen to get paid for.

A little later than expected this month due to summer vacations at CCP, but the Monthly Economic Report for June 2019 is now available!

The raw data that makes up this report can be downloaded here. (25.10MB)


For deeper understanding of the indices used in the report, please have a look at the following explanations.

Mineral Price Index (MPI)
The Mineral Price Index (MPI) shows the price changes in all eight minerals used to produce ships and other items in EVE. The weight of each mineral in the index changes each month is based on the relative trade values of the previous month.

Primary Producer Price Index (PPPI)
The Primary Producer Price Index consists of manufacturing items used for the production of other manufacturing items at the secondary stage. Manufacturing items used for the production of final consumer goods are excluded. The index includes such item groups as ore, moon materials, planetary commodities, sleeper relics, an...

This is something that I've been championing for many years (since 2007 in fact, when Veto, my former Corporation lost one of our members, DarkElf) and a couple of the amazing guys from the art team took on the concept work for it earlier this year.

We often get requests from corps, alliances and individuals to put monuments or tributes into the game environment for specific people, but we'd rather keep a level playing field and have a single site that's dedicated to everyone loved and lost.

I gave the art team the name "The Eternal Cyno" and this is what they came up with - it looks even better at full res with all the effects running and stuff.

There's a LOT of people within CCP who've since added touches and suggestions to it, and it's looking amazing so far.

I'm a little sad that it's made it's way to SiSi's file structure already, as I was hoping to keep it for the opening ceremony in Berlin, but it's good that it's being received positively.

The intention with this asset is...

Just curious do you speak Icelandic? Do you live there full time? Do you have family there too?

I live here full time, I'm originally from the UK (Durham) so I have no blood relatives here, just my boyfriend.

Also, ég er að læra íslensku ;)

I guess you could say it's a hairy situation..

Seriously, you don't know where that wig has been... and you put it on your head...

lol, it came directly from amazon as a gift, and was still sealed when I got it.

For sure it wouldn't have been going on my head otherwise :P
