So with that idiotic and common discussion carebear this carebear that with no point out of the way, the fact is that drones are almost completely useless if u use anything bigger than light scout drones! which are the ones that can maybe return all alive when 20 or more NPC ships lock one of your drones instantly and start pawning, oh of course that if they have webs he is gone no matter what. Im an occasional explorer, I like to go alone to hostile space, do my thing, get isks from that space and then use them to kill the locals in that space, its fun really, but now I cant use my ship, its worthless, and I dont want to use a Tengu, no sorry, I don't and I won't use a damn Tengu, I like those little things flying with me and helping me killing damn NPC's, I like my ship.

So thanks for ruining my PvE CCP, no I won't do missions in my machariel, I want to make signatures in my damn Ishtar, want to make them more difficult, so be it, will embrace that gladly, just dont make them impossible to make.

And no Im not quitting the game so you can't have my stuff.

And there's the mentioning of already completed code that's already weeks in testing. In my opinion there's nothing to be scared about. Or are you one of the afk plexer?!

Some of you praise CCP for everything new they make and you have so much faith in them that it makes you look like religious freaks. And then, when CCP fails and the game is again bugged for weeks do you start swearing and cursing at CCP that it would make every priest in the Vatikan cringe. Just saying… Your view on CCP and the devs is biased. They are no Gods. It is actually quite good to see two changes next to each other, the one by CCP Masterplan and the one by CCP FoxFour. CCP Masterplan's work is looking really very well and this has nothing to do with luck. If it is of any help then think of CCP as a soccer or a football team. Each team has bad and good players. You only have to have an open mind to see it.

My point is that the AI itself has very little effect on the way a mission will play out for a solo mission runner, even one using drones. Once you start shooting a group of linked NPC's, they are going to react the same way: they are going to try to kill you. The triggers used to activate NPC AI are not dependent upon the AI system, they are part of the mission system.

I doubt I'll have to relearn anything in order to a mission, but even if I do, so what? It adds a little bit of thought process to something that currently doesn't challenge me. At least i'm not moaning like a bitch because CCP is doing something about all the old code in their game.

"No need to criticize CCP's workflow…", where the fuck have you been living all these years? Under a rock??

What, you mean until you wait for the new WoW expansion to see what mechanics you can cram into EvE?

Stupid as you are will you however claim that this AI is so much better when really you can call yourself lucky, because CCP did manage to adjust the missions so that there will be no real difference.

You can then pat yourself on the back, because you paid CCP for changing something that is going to be the same as before and for an effort that could have been used to create new, additional missions with a new AI instead.

Any have awake pilot will do fine and it might make things faster as sentries might get agressed and defend who ever is shooting them faster.

Also CFC has enough money and Space from tecs to plexs, WH`ers on the other hand have to take as many frones in and usually t1 as ammo…..The sleepers would kill them so fast its why the Tengu got popular…This fix will make Gallante Ishkurs and other Drne boats like a group of herd domis to totally help themselves.
