And it is a high sec solution, since high sec miners don't, except for some rare exceptions, mine while aligned. Miners <br /><br />The option you want, a module to allow bumping, isn't going to happen. That would require a major overhaul of the physics engine. Don't hold your breath on that one.NoizyGamerhttp://nosygamer.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-48728123885203114192014-08-11T17:08:33.819-05:002014-08-11T17:08:33.819-05:00High Sec never asked for the revamp to the barges....High Sec never asked for the revamp to the barges. This was instigated by the pirate/ganker elements who decried the common place use of the mack for mining. Ironic considering the over-use of the catalyst. If Fozzie put the destroyers on a pie chart the same as mining barges, then catalyst can receive a 25% nerf the same as done for the procurer and retriever. <br /><br /><br />The whole thing about speed change to the procurer was a smoke/mirror from Fozzie so that miners would not realise just how cut back from 200% to 150% would impact yield. <br /><br /><br />The tragic thing being is that miners are told tank or die. That was a mantra for some time. Well, now there are tanking barges, so bumping becomes "the thing". Hang on, there is no comprise to fit when bumping?! Perhaps a module should be required to enable ship bumping - that would make it within the metric of fit influencing the risk and reward.<br /><br /><br />Based for far on the reaction to the Industry and now WH releases, when CCP gets around to Null sov; I will be curious to how any "negatives" are managed. Null so far has proven adept at get adjustments to game changes which can impact their income.Easy Eskynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-81627992757057853632014-08-11T10:19:54.406-05:002014-08-11T10:19:54.406-05:00Nozy,

The Devs wind up with a pair of dice in hand and all us players at the space craps table hold our breath . . . “Craps? Natural? Point?,” we whisper anxiously. Dice released, some of us wail, some of us cheer and some of us shrug our shoulders and pause to breathe. Now we get to look forward to this glorious torture about every six weeks. What the hell is the matter with us?DireNecessitynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-70806500275461942762014-08-11T09:04:08.934-05:002014-08-11T09:04:08.934-05:00You have to roll with the changes.

(Though I think it should still be possible, using two off-grid bookmarks that you align to, and two on-grid bookmarks to warp back to.)<br /> <br />There are still non-PVP things one can do in lowsec other than distro missions. Off the top of my head: ghostbusting (though it is really better done in null), exploring (meaning the non-PVE sites), and gassing. You can also look for wormholes, and venture in there for gas.Von Keigainoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-7265883865083368762014-08-11T08:05:06.785-05:002014-08-11T08:05:06.785-05:00And so CCP keeps kicking players away from A, then...And so CCP keeps kicking players away from A, then from B, then from C, then from D, then from E... until when? <br /><br />EVE development has become about turning stones and exposing the little creeps under them.... It's only a matter of time until most players will have been evicted from enough niches as to have enough and leave the game altogether.<br /><br />And the plans to add new niches to the game are vague at best and horribly misguided at worst.Bill Bonesnoreply@blogger.com
