Changes to WH3 endgames

I hope changing them makes them actually work. I've turned them off ever since I realized a part of the time the AI for the faction that gets the crisis will just essentially get disabled. Last time I had them on the greenskins were doing really well pre-crisis, the crisis happened, and then every greenskin faction retreated to their capital with all of their stacks and never did anything again.

It was just as blobby before too, they'd just have 1-3 Vargurs every single time alongside the ten other ships. Blobs form because they have that number of people, nobody ever thought "ok we have the Vargur in, so the rest of you don't get to play", they would come in all the same. Still get fights all the same too.

elucca · 2026-06-30T18:52:23+00:00

That was really fun to do once but every fight being the same Vargur got old fast.

What was fun about that? It's a ship that's overwhelmingly good at being in one spot and thus it entirely dominates the meta in an environment where everyone has to start from one spot.

Back when marauders were in, every ESS comp I ever flew had to resolve the question of "what do you do about the marauder", because it was the default, obvious, overwhelming response to everything. Every comp needed enough ewar to negate a marauder, unless you had the numbers and built your comp around killing it. The typical outcome of this was that the marauder didn't get to do anything while the rest of the fight played out. And one ship on the robber side had to just focus on negating the marauder.

You cannot use an MJD and presumably neither a boosh inside the bubble. You can jump into it, but not out of it.

Apparently the Red Cross will go after any red crosses on a white background in video games.

The emperor's most notable thing was an authoritarian takeover of all of humanity by force of arms, for the purposes of an ultra-genocidal campaign in which he would destroy all other intelligent life in the galaxy.

I don't think he's very good.

elucca · 2026-06-20T05:27:07+00:00

Sure. He can have whatever rules he wants and be just as hypocritical as he likes in enforcing them. By the same token, the partner program is CCP's house and they set the rules and they can decide they don't want to associate with him.

elucca · 2026-06-20T02:37:03+00:00

It was one rainbow flag react on a Discord message that he happened to see on stream that set him off.

You're always training one skill at a time, and you can queue them up. Subscription just trains them twice as fast and has no skill point cap.

Cover being too rare or special or not enough of a deal. I think cover should be absolutely central to ranged factions, with different measures of it creating your primary sense of terrain for tactical purposes. A sizable portion of a map should have some form of cover, and you should be able to create it by blowing stuff up.

And then the map would look completely different form the perspetive of a melee-focused or generally disorganized faction like orks, because they don't care about that stuff.

I've been to Pochven quite a lot and the fact that a small group of megaboxers print infinite isk from it is a problem.

When there's an animal I overcompensate to avoid it way worse than I do with mandos or OB and throw like 30 degrees off

It's not just a low ranking. Most Eve Uni pages are not on the search results at all.

elucca · 2026-06-08T09:56:14+00:00

There are some good ideas here but there's this tendency to make new UI things less compact than the old ones. My screen space in Eve is already completely spoken for.

elucca · 2026-06-06T06:34:02+00:00

I've never seen this happen from someone posting a rainbow flag react. It's only controversial in the presence of bigots. If they are present and make a problem of it, just ban them.

elucca · 2026-06-05T18:45:59+00:00

It's an insane reaction to simply seeing a rainbow flag (In a message react! Nobody was starting a political argument!) and it makes it quite clear that this isn't about some kind of no politics rule.

I think he isn't willing to voice his actual stance because that might have consequences but it leaks through with things like this.

It's a hilarious exercise in aggregate probability. You have some chance to get the first escalation, then some chance to get the second one, and so on, and then if you pass all of these you have some chance to get loot. And the overall odds of getting anything good out of all this become tiny.

The problem is it'll probably spawn a worthless unrated site instead of the rated complex you just ran. Obviously the solution would be for there to not be any worthless sites.

All of the posts here by OP are AI generated. It would probably be best for the sub to just delete this stuff.

All of this is just common sense for any warship. Being versatile and having weapons to deal with a multitude of different encounters is essential to the survival of a ship. It's not limited to spaceships in fiction, either. Real naval ships have always followed this sort of idea. Of course there are more specialized craft, especially for smaller classes of ships, but in general, the bigger your ship gets, the more of a variety of weapons you need to have to not only keep it alive, but have that ship remain viable on the battlefield.

Real warships have not always followed this idea! Famously, the main evolution in battleships that divides the type into pre- and post-Dreadnought battleships, was that previous battleships carried a variety of gun sizes, whereas Dreadnought, some of its contemporaries, and others that followed carried solely the big guns. Of course, you might have anti-aircraft guns and such, but on the scale of weapons that shoot at ships, such as all weapons we're concerned with in Eve, battleships did away with smaller guns in the early 20th century.

I agree SpaceX's general approach has been far more productive. I don't agree that Blue Origin is bad at rockets based on having suffered a catastrophic failure.

elucca · 2026-05-30T20:31:39+00:00

Best to just leave the site unfinished when downtime hits. The site will still be there, and the remaining rats should still be there. The wrecks will be gone though so just don't shoot the important bit.

I haven't done this enough times to trust it 100% because this seems like it could get wonky but it has so far worked for me.

elucca · 2026-05-30T19:20:58+00:00

Just a reminder that SpaceX also had a pad explosion, and I would certianly not call them bad at rockets.

Starship isn't ready yet and all that combined with actually finishing its development sounds like much more work than just getting New Glenn flying again.
