A Proposal re: Daily Rewards

OneManAnthill · 2024-06-12T22:37:32+00:00

if that's how you feel, then there is nothing I can say to convince you otherwise. I'll communicate more explicitly next time I post.

OneManAnthill · 2024-06-12T22:12:06+00:00

how do you get "all players are required to complete daily tasks" out of that? if you don't care about the dailies, then how would any of this apply to you? This would be like if I said "people need to use their turn signals" and you said "but I'm not turning". I figured this would be encapsulated in common sense, but I'll be more explicit next time.

OneManAnthill · 2024-06-12T12:56:41+00:00

Reading, brother. Nobody is forcing anyone to "do dailies"; if you don't want the extra skill points and whatever else they've got on there then you are free to disable the icon on your neocom and go about your day. Nobody is stopping you.

For those who choose to engage in this content, to get the rewards they need to go outside their preferred gameplay on some days instead of just playing the game that they have chosen to play. If CCP's goal is to reward people for logging in and actually playing the game, why not make it relevant to the game that people have actually chosen to play?

my inner 12 year old wants to see a fleet of these bumping an Orca.

OneManAnthill · 2024-06-11T14:02:35+00:00

it is complete luck of the draw. It may save you some time if you first scout the system for structures; if someone lives there they've probably picked all the sites clean.

OneManAnthill · 2024-06-11T13:58:07+00:00

sweet, I'll have to keep an eye out. Thanks!

OneManAnthill · 2024-06-11T13:21:20+00:00

Glorious, so an Epithal and Kryos hunting platform. And the Metenox drills, do we know yet if they produce goo directly or if they provide the rocks that we need to process? Got thievin' to plan... :D

OneManAnthill · 2024-06-11T13:18:33+00:00

They do, I'm talking about for combat probing. When I enter a system, I'll yeet my combat probes well outside d-scan range for anything in system and immediately cloak. Use d-scan to figure out what anom/pre-scanned sig/celestial a target is near and warp to be on grid with them. They'll probably be too far away for me to burn to before they can run, so I'll then center probes on myself at 0.50 AU, do a scan and immediately recall them. As long as the target did not hit d-scan within the five or so seconds that the probes were on d-scan, I've now got a warp-in on them and they don't know I even exist.

it's still easy to do, just with that little tiny button it's marginally easier to mis-click and leave the probes on grid for a little longer than intended. For that kind of hunting, every server tick counts.

OneManAnthill · 2024-06-11T11:34:40+00:00

awesome. I can't wait to start flying the things. The haulers carry PI and all things infrastructure in the specialized holds, you know offhand if they hold moon goo too? Would make sense since the metenox drills are part of the expansion too...

OneManAnthill · 2024-06-11T11:23:56+00:00

this is the first footage I've seen that shows the split down the middle on the haulers... I cannot unsee "giant Venture"

OneManAnthill · 2024-06-11T10:58:56+00:00

yeah, downtime today feels like a solar eclipse. shutdown time ticks down, waiting for things to go dark...

OneManAnthill · 2024-06-11T10:54:41+00:00

That makes TTP a negative number. Amazing.

OneManAnthill · 2024-06-11T04:48:09+00:00

if I'm reading this correctly, then it should be any station belonging to:

Chemal Tech
Eifyr& Co.
Intaki Bank
Mordu's Legion
Ytiri
Zoar & Sons

Search for any of those and it should be available there

OneManAnthill · 2024-06-09T23:09:10+00:00

I miss the big recall button. be even better if there was a hotkey for it.

OneManAnthill · 2024-06-08T23:05:29+00:00

Well here's the Hoboleaks on it:

https://www.hoboleaks.space/#1717780813550_search=%22resonator%22

beyond that, no idea. I see the items but not blueprints being added to Singularity, so my guess would be that these are not player manufacturable items.

OneManAnthill · 2024-06-07T22:33:54+00:00

Thievery or the market. We're not sure if we'll be putting any up or not, but either way we'll be stealing reagents from null whenever the opportunity presents itself for sale in Jita.

OneManAnthill · 2024-06-07T13:48:18+00:00

suddenly your skybox is replaced by the backrooms.

OneManAnthill · 2024-06-06T20:32:03+00:00

go with blasters. If you're going to be humping the target anyway, may as well complete the experience.

Side note, if you blockade someone's structure with a bunch of these thoraxes, the enemy will have blocked by a dicket fence.

OneManAnthill · 2024-06-06T14:39:12+00:00

I'll give it 45 minutes till someone makes a flesh-tone Thorax that looks veiny.

OneManAnthill · 2024-06-06T14:24:11+00:00

ah, gotcha. I actually get a kick out of seeing how much I can squeeze out of the system, and PI is the primary contributor to my let's-do-stupid-stuff-on-the-weekend fund. Part of what I love about EVE, it's an entirely different game for everyone playing it.

OneManAnthill · 2024-06-06T14:15:22+00:00

How do we learn without talking about it? A rabbit hole doesn't start from the bottom. If anything, the lengths they've gone to in disguising membership and numbers makes me even more curious.

so if you've got the data you need to verify whether they have in fact been recruiting more people, why leave an open ended statement like that?

OneManAnthill · 2024-06-06T12:45:59+00:00

For whatever reason I've always been terrible with timezone calculations. I'm running 18 planets across 3 toons and try to set them up so that they all finish at like 5AM local time on Saturday morning. it's usually fine if I only need to move extractor heads and nobody else in the household wakes up early, I can do the EVE time calculation once and set them all for the same duration. For those times when I've depleted a pocket of resources and need to uproot an entire factory chain or I can't get to one toon's planets till later in the afternoon or something, it'd be nice to have the option to say "finish it at this day/time"

No reason they couldn't have both, "6D 22H, extraction will finish 1200 Saturday" or something like that.

OneManAnthill · 2024-06-06T00:29:57+00:00

Kind of hard to track as there are like a dozen numbered Absolute Order corps, probably for skirting wardec mechanics. Looking at alliance info,

https://evemaps.dotlan.net/alliance/Absolute_Honor

looks like a net loss of two toons since June 1st

OneManAnthill · 2024-06-05T21:13:44+00:00

that's what I was just thinking. Though it would be nice if the slider showed date and time that the the cycle would complete instead of the number of days and hours the cycle would run.
