This is what meat is supposed to be like, dingus
Meanwhile this Hotel dinner is to die for.

Just had a ham. cheese and mushroom omelette and it was fantastic. For breakfast I got a fruit salad made by hand from actual fruits. Strawberries, oranges, grapes, pineapple, watermelon.

On and for sandwiches they cut the cheese with a knife so the slices are like... 1 cm thick. So instead of making regular sandwiches they build these cheese and ham sandwich baguette towers.

Yea, I am pretty nervous about what all this means for anything that runs through a POS. Fortunately I am not hugely invested so if its all a shitshow I can unwind my little farm just fine, but making POS operations more difficult and tedious doesn't seem like a good step.

Y'know, as broken as this can probably be, it sounds interesting. I'm just going to hold onto hope that it's not some terrible slog to do anything with them, one way or the other.

evilweasel posted:

They don't auto-fire. All defenses must be manually controlled.

Where did you read this, I didn't see that at all. It looks like controlling will be the same as current POS mechanics: fire dumb or train forever to utilize well. It's not spelled out at all on the blog.

If they mess this up and make it so defenses can be Concorded instead of the actual controller/ship I'll laugh though.

AoE torps are just there to counter the balls of carriers infinitely cap chaining between them. The AoE won't be very big, probably 5km or less if they're smart about it. Plus they'll probably end up reverting the whole thing when it inevitably crashes server nodes, the lag is bad enough from 20+ bombs hitting a fleet of a hundred. Imagine a bunch of torpedo's doing that every few seconds.

Or, CCP could consider this and balance damage, area of effect, and rate of fire.

It can't be worse than after every bomb run, right after the FC says "Don't broadcast for bomb damage". If you can't handle prioritizing big lists quickly in the heat of battle you don't fly logistics.

I suppose, but they've gone out of their way to ensure that CONCORD doesn't do that in the past, and I'd be very surprised if they changed that now. Granted, it was a long while ago since I tested CONCORD, but the most you could do then was to have them show up, ignore the POS shield, and just shoot the offending player — there was no way to make them go after the POS, even by accident.

Auto-triggered AoE attacks would be an excellent opportunity for such accidents. Of course, if the comments from the thread are correct, there won't be auto-anything, so that part is also out, and nothing fun will happen regardless.

A wonderful rule of thumb: if your FC or logi anchor doesn't say the guy is a special snowflake, then he's not and you should feel free to ignore his broadcast spam.

e: Real snowflakes don't even need to broadcast for reps, because they are already on your watch list and/or being called out by the FC when it's clutch; e.g., "all reps on lupercale," "cap to vily," etc.

Imagine your broadcast window if there are aoe effects that land on a regular interval. Then go shoot yourself because it's horrible and will have every person on your fleet in it every time because everyone is stupid and needs to die. The actual damage and server load will probably not be that bad

Just to offer a semi-rational though probably futile counterpoint to all the :supaburn:ing about new structures and such...

  • There are vulnerability windows that you set, and only during those windows can someone try to attack your poo poo, and the window gets smaller if the system is at higher level.
  • Vulnerability windows can be set independently of whatever the alliance sets them to, so you can tune your POS farm's window to whatever you want.
  • There's nothing that says that vulnerability windows will be of identical length across all structures, or use the exact same mechanics.


Ain't saying there may not be reasons for :supaburn: but stick to reasons that are published and confirmed. :v:
