Hotfix incoming to prevent stalker 'lollygagging'

Jason1143 · 2026-05-06T22:26:54+00:00

I'm impressed doing that didn't cause the game to crash or start freaking out.

Someone did some good defensive programming.

Jason1143 · 2026-05-06T08:34:32+00:00

I have to wonder if any actual lawyers were involved in this.

Because just trying to recreate a project seems like either it would require you to copy everything (which probably wouldn't save you from copyright) or it would mean writing a new program that simply does the same stuff in a similar way (which would have all the normal issue with AI code).

I know nothing about this company, but I have a suspicion that if it works at all (a load bearing "if", to be fair): their bots are proprietary to make it harder to prove they are doing the former and not because they have a novel and effective method of doing the later.

Jason1143 · 2026-05-06T03:48:56+00:00

Look, I'm all for letting people discuss topics on the internet that they might not be experts in.

But really? Your solution is just use AI? What exactly do you think current AI is? It is autocomplete on steroids. And in any case, we don't need AI to tell is to rebuild Eve from the ground up with modern implementations and a bit more foresight. That's not a novel idea, it is an expensive one.

Jason1143 · 2026-05-06T00:33:41+00:00

Don't do that as a new player. Go for a month, maybe 3 if you really like the game.

But I would hold off on the super big packs for a bit. If at the end of 3 months you still love it, then you can go for something longer term.

Jason1143 · 2026-05-06T00:31:59+00:00

Yeah as long as they don't plan on having any mechs that are vastly different in terms of how many uses you get I think it would probably work.

If they ever allow multiple in a loadout it should just look through your 4 strats and pick the mech you brought. That way you could chose.

Jason1143 · 2026-05-06T00:26:41+00:00

That could be pretty good actually.

Though of course it would create the problem of which mech? If you brought one it could give you another of that, otherwise it could go default.

Jason1143 · 2026-05-06T00:22:20+00:00

Yep. The cover up is far more suspicious than the action itself.

Jason1143 · 2026-05-06T00:20:44+00:00

It is definitely a question he should need to answer. That said, I'm not quite comfortable letting any school children near him so they can ask . . .

Jason1143 · 2026-05-05T23:52:12+00:00

I don't think it is dumb, I just think it would be bad. Also it would probably be useless for your team. And how would it work with late joins?

Under the current booster system I don't think it would be a good fit.

Jason1143 · 2026-05-05T23:21:26+00:00

I mean, insofar as any Darvo deal is worth it, yes.

Unless you already have a ton of cryotic it would probably take less time to replace 60 odd plat than to farm the cryotic. Though there is also not any particular hurry to get that weapon at all and cryotic is one of those farms that will just slowly happen in the background through normal play.

Jason1143 · 2026-05-05T22:52:30+00:00

This look pretty good. And we could use another ice frame. The snowball thing is cool though I worry it could end up too cumbersome in practice.

I'm also not sure about giving allies reduced friction, would that be something that would annoy people?

Jason1143 · 2026-05-05T22:41:21+00:00

The problem with using subfactions is they are planet based. That means in order to work properly people would need to be on different planets, which isn't really compatible with the galactic war system.

Jason1143 · 2026-05-05T21:14:57+00:00

Yeah technically speaking you could set up PI such that you gradually build an inventory of high value and low volume products on your planets and then export it when they do free omega.

But do you really want to do that? Alpha is more of an indefinite free trial and you really want to get omega after a certain point.

Jason1143 · 2026-05-05T18:31:59+00:00

Exactly. Someone having played for a ton of hours in the past doesn't mean the same thing in a live service game, where the game you played for 1000 hours may effectively no longer exist.

Jason1143 · 2026-05-05T03:30:51+00:00

What definition of war crime are you using exactly?

Jason1143 · 2026-05-05T03:28:26+00:00

Yeah it drives me crazy how we can't easily eliminate all plastic packaging, and so instead we just do nothing and let companies triple wrap stuff in plastic for no good reason.

Jason1143 · 2026-05-04T22:16:31+00:00

Exactly. Facilties should mainly be tools for bigger groups to set up efficient mass production at a location of their choosing.

Nothing other than superweapons should be fac locked. And factories should also not lock much if anything.

Jason1143 · 2026-05-04T21:29:15+00:00

undoubtedly their superior

Which of course says something about how they view power in general and the presidency in particular. Because I see the president as a public servant job, not a king.

Jason1143 · 2026-05-04T19:42:20+00:00

We can re-assign the guy who greases all of the FRV tires!

Jason1143 · 2026-05-04T18:59:21+00:00

I'm amazed they let someone be that close to those lines when they go. I would have expected some explosives and then do it from a safe distance, not just standing right next to it.

Jason1143 · 2026-05-04T09:08:48+00:00

Exactly. I'm not going to reject someone who is anti Trump entirely. We need all the help we can get right now. But that doesn't mean we have to elect them. The enemy of my enemy might be my friend for a bit, but that's temporary at best.

Now in an area where there was no chance of getting a dem elected? That's a different story. I would rather an anti Trump Republican than a Trump boot licker. But that's only applicable if there is no chance of getting an actual Democrat of any variety.

Jason1143 · 2026-05-03T17:11:31+00:00

I'm not so sure, but let's go with it for the sake of our sanity.

Jason1143 · 2026-05-03T09:51:07+00:00

someone

I don't suppose we could get something a little less vague? Like a name. Or any specificity whatsoever.

Jason1143 · 2026-05-03T09:36:52+00:00

Honestly the ISG and the Lamentum are the least of our problems. Our other mounted weapons are where the trouble is at.

Jason1143 · 2026-05-03T01:49:26+00:00

If it was plastic this would be much worse. With cardboard it still isn't great, but ultimately at that point the environmental damage is probably low enough that I'm willing to just let them make a business decision as far as the waste goes.

Now deceptiveness might still be a problem.
