It's great to make things more unpredictable, but you've got to put the carrot on the end of the stick to get people out there.

Why was this sort of perspective completely ignored with Blackout? I can understand the desire to see more destruction, but I can't welcome it when the change is so clearly biased in favor of hunters. Especially when we've seen an almost continuous stream of nerfs to ratting/mining in the last year.

don't know about putting it in low sec. Maybe we could have it delayed (as in literally, 60 second delay or something) , but having full blackout will:

• Make low sec feel even deader than it is

• increase blobbing shenanigans in FW (anti-fun for solos/duos/trios, FW being the only place we can actually enjoy the game this way now)

• be practically un-counterable as we can't drop bubbles to defend gates/increase reaction time

the only benefit it has is it would make hunting a little bit easier but honestly low sec is so dead that it won't matter much, and I worry it will scare away the targets i'd hunt anyway.

For the record I am a solo low sec PVP player.

KIA are a group that played in beta and added their elite gamer tag Killed In Action to their names - some of the best early PvPers. They were part of Curse Alliance (alliance mechanics didn't exist in game at the time) who were widely regarded as The Best. They became the military wing of an industrial group (and had a short-lived merger where they became RONA-KIA) known as The Phoenix Alliance which went on to become the Northern Coalition. They kinda dropped a bit after this, but had a brief resurgence and joined MC to create Tortuga (a freeport led by mercenary alliances)

Mostly Harmless - Part of the Northern Coalition (not the alliance with the same name that exists now, but a group of alliances that dominated the early part of EVEs history). Their POS passwords, and trademark local call, was o0k. The alliance basically died when the DRF invaded the Northern forces, and the rest of the North kinda merged into the CFC (or moved to Delve to quietly die). One of th...

I asked Hillmar about cynos in response to this on Twitter

Edit: Hillmar liked my post asking him to delete cynos!

To be fair, he's been getting fed BS intel for years.

One of the funniest looks of shock I've seen from him was a few years back at a Fanfest speech (long after the 'Summer of Rage', as I recall), and he asked the room if they should 'open the door'... There was a resounding 'yes', with maybe a dozen 'noes'. The look on that face was priceless. Clearly his intel had told him to expect the opposite.

(Personally, when it comes to WiS, I hold Torvi to blame for a lot of it - but CCP in general, for their hubris in thinking they could actually pull it off with their new tech, instead of settling for something lesser.)
