Thank you for sharing this with us Ves.

uhm...apparently they really don't understand it.
Anyway, with bacon and sugar in CSM, I hope we can push for timer rollbacks. I am quite happy if they can re-visit some useless faction mods and make them decent again.

Of course they wouldn't ...why would they if you can just fit a condor with t1 cloak and t1 stabs and make more than triple times the income in the same time.
I don't think the non-cloak zone or nerfing of wcs's in plexes is going to help. In its simpliest form farming is this: If enemy is on supershort scan, warp away, avoid conflict, go to another plex even...and come back when enemy is gone. You don't really need to commit to your plex to capture it.
If there was a fast rollback feature (timers running 5x faster to reset to initial state) however, the enemy would just spend 1-2 minutes inside to reset the timer to its original state, undoing all the progress of the farmer.
At that point farmer would have to choose: Do I commit, stay and fight for my plex, or do I watch the enemy reset my timer.

Why do you think it only applies to defender? It equally applies to attacker too.
...and comet example was just silly. If you know what your enemy has you can directly fit its counter and make up for SP difference....and this would create pew pew and content. In current system the farmer will just warp away/cloak and avoid conflict. No pew pew, no content. |
