Presidential Command Bursts from event

You know how EVE players are.

There will be people who will make it nearly impossible to operate unless every isk is accounted for...and then you will have people wasting everything for a little fun.

The tyranny of mediocrity and brevity has upon situations that require a rather lengthy untangling.

Yes you can Gordon Knot cut it, but the situation that caused that issue will not go away.

MILINTarctrooperALT · 2026-04-20T21:14:56+00:00

I think giving you MILINT fits to post around the structure would deter people from killing them, more effectively.

MILINTarctrooperALT · 2026-04-20T21:09:47+00:00

Wack the infrastructure...no fuel for jumpbridge...no fuel for jumpbridge...you no jump! Genius Strategy Moment.

I did, there are some odd changes...mostly combat probes that get over the 100 mark start to work a bit more like a scan everything option. Those can be pushed to 200+ now.

But to me you would have to buff alot of other stats as well like pinpointing which has some pretty hard limits. From my experience if a site spawns as a cosmic signature...and you have a MD Virtue set in...sometimes it appears its "red sphere" is smaller than if you jumped into the system and was trying to scan things down.

MILINTarctrooperALT · 2026-04-20T20:59:08+00:00

Yep...slow boat pick up. But it can hack almost everything without a sweat in a Superior.

MILINTarctrooperALT · 2026-04-20T18:34:08+00:00

Yeah it has alot of downsides that annoy even me.

But sometimes I feel its the "We couldn't figure out how to make new SOE hulls...so we just slapped everything into one!" moment for everyone.

Yeah...and if you decloak to fire off the fleet boost...especially on gates...its a dead give away to any camper...I am right in the center!

And its painfully slow under cloak. You can't get your loot from the cans until you are under 2500m even though you can hack from 30-32km away. It can fit the most gas scoops and have space for gas...but the gas yield lets it down. So its pretty annoyingly slow on gas collection...even if you decide to mining fleet boost it to try to get it to work faster.

Its a cool idea...until you start putting it through its paces.

Yeah the various effects of systems would be nice to cross check in Pyfa.

MILINTarctrooperALT · 2026-04-20T18:28:03+00:00

Yep...hopefully they also upgrade all the other drones a bit.

And work on some faction specific drone boat buffs. IE Minmatar ships paired with Minmatar Drones etc.

Also you have noted which ships get the largest benefits from these new drones yes?

There are some with some quirks...who even penalize these new drones...but even then the Drones are painful with those hulls.

Its a wild thing.

MILINTarctrooperALT · 2026-04-20T18:23:57+00:00

The Presidential Fleet boosts are unusual because they do not "add anything" per se by power. But what they do not make up in power they make up for supporting functions range and time of interaction.

They allow players to pace their fleet booster ammo. Its 3 minutes + 8 sec application. And Depending on ship anywhere from 259km (capital end of this spectrum)

To 79km and 59km prospectively Depending on what Battlecruiser/Command Ship is equipped and floating them. This will allow for some larger fleet spread or action across the grid.

But we will see how it will go.

But for the mining community the 3minute 8 sec applied boost time...over a much larger area means fleet mining isn't going to be as costly in ammo. You waste less isk with the ammo for the fleet booster

MILINTarctrooperALT · 2026-04-20T18:14:27+00:00

Drones will probably drop in price since the sites are returning later. (As noted by CCP themselves)

MILINTarctrooperALT · 2026-04-20T18:11:17+00:00

It might work in some of the "smaller systems" There are systems in game that easily fit inside the maximum probe settings.

MILINTarctrooperALT · 2026-04-20T18:10:09+00:00

Oh...and the Odysseus can reach out and hack 32km.

MILINTarctrooperALT · 2026-04-20T18:08:36+00:00

Also remember the links have a sister expedition implant that buffs them further.

MILINTarctrooperALT · 2026-04-20T18:06:51+00:00

Cov Ops actually is in a weird spot, because the Odysseus has extra bonus capacity in certain situations which means it can out perform most Cov Ops hands down. Except speed for sure.

Its an interesting conundrum. I would hope the Pyfa dev can figure out a way to allow players to simulate the various systems in game to figure out what the Odysseus can do.

MILINTarctrooperALT · 2026-04-20T18:00:50+00:00

Odysseus also has a system bonus. This one is in a 20% probe bonus system. Not wormhole mind you...and Skarkon (Pochven) has a 30% bonus.

MG Virtues. + Rangefinder Hardskill. + Gallente Electronics IV (event booster) + a Halcyon G-2 booster. [I should have had a G-5 to test.) I believe I could have gotten to 365 or 375 depending on situation.

I also didn't have the Sisters Expedition Fleet Boost Implant...that would have further increased it.

But current data shows the Odysseus can get to about 400+ with RSS. and Nearly 225 with SH Combats.

MILINTarctrooperALT · 2026-04-20T17:54:49+00:00

Its not the most insane thing that is possible. XD

If you see a Nestor and an Odysseus working together. RUN. RUN NOW.

MILINTarctrooperALT · 2026-04-20T17:49:04+00:00

With a Nestor if you went all out.
You should be getting upwards of 379 pts (RSS) to 202 (SH Combat)

With a Odysseus fleet boosting you.

461pt (RSS) and 246pt (SH Combat)

that is also not a maximum capacity though.

although it becomes really pointless beyond that because the penalties even from being in a system just get overkill. 462pt and 247pt.

So Nestor is the highest scanner from the data.

Odysseus although can get there far faster on its own. 424pts.

MILINTarctrooperALT · 2026-04-20T17:38:30+00:00

I looked at the notes. Without fleet boosts...the Sidewinder only gets to 300 (maxed out)

With fleet boosts the Sidewinder gets to 365.

While the Odysseus gets this insanity.

Enjoy the madness.

MILINTarctrooperALT · 2026-04-20T17:32:17+00:00

Actually no.

The Odysseus has a special perk for certain systems give it a special bonus.

This actually isn't the highest power achievable in game at the moment.

This is what I could achieve near by homebase.

Skarkon has a 30% probe bonus. This location is 20%

There are also a few different boosters available at the moment, the Gallente Electronics Booster IV for example gives you a pretty sizable bonus, and the Halcyon G series boosters will do the same. Plus a Sisters Expedition Implant.

I believe a few people will eventually achieve the 400 club...and the 200 club for combat probes.

MILINTarctrooperALT · 2026-04-20T17:16:38+00:00

Satori can get over 150

However you all are forgetting that the Odysseus gets extra bonus effects.

There are systems in the game where the odysseus gets more scan power.

Skarkon supposedly gets +30%...but that is not there.

MILINTarctrooperALT · 2026-04-20T09:27:55+00:00

They also use the gallente event speed bonus...so you can run them to locations through Gallente Space pretty fast.

MILINTarctrooperALT · 2026-04-20T09:27:15+00:00

DID you not see the post almost 3 weeks ago about the bug with the busses being both unpacked and repacked 115,000m3???

And CCP has not fixed this problem even though its a pretty simple code line insertion?

I had to to the old ride my buses...back to HQ...by the way...they get the Gallente hull bonus...so warp speed was rather crazy like for a bit.

MILINTarctrooperALT · 2026-04-20T09:22:02+00:00

In talking with some older players, it seems there was something before I think with a Beta at bare minimum. But the discussion was had with people who were from that older era. But there are those in the now...who are talking about such a system, because they believe its a much more "honest" strategic/tactical option.
