Are we ready to play blind?

Scenario:

Say Avatar attacked scooby with n number of RIP and crash his moderate m number of BS and create a DF, and time a DF secure mission with another 10 RIP at his coordinate. Then sneaky me SPY tracing that DF and probing it, i send 200 RIP to crash those DF patrol ships so that i ninja the kill as Scooby is sleeping cold.

Would Avatar risk the chance of getting crashed for collecting DF? cause if i know it right the reason for u to send a df defense is that u are not able to do the collection in time and u dont have enough recs to do so.

SPY Verdict:
I still dont like this idea.

I may be with you, I am just posting flavor :)

What Avatar would do though, is send 1 RCY a head of the rest of the RCYs to see what awaits him :)

arnt u the one that is doing the DF patrol? cause unless or untill i see the patrol there i wont attack.

and if u can send one rec i believe in most cases u can send all that is needed. the fact still remains that u will eventually have to send ur guard ships along with ur recs blindly. Remember i am the one going to ninja you so for u to know that i am coming towards that DF u have to place the patrol first else i am not going forward. so u cannot possibly know.

I dunno, I kinda got lost cos I'm not paying too much attention lol.

But yeah, I can see issues with the idea. Example SPY patroling a 10k metal DF with 2k BC to ninja all the poor noobs who just want some free res :)

that is actually a very good idea,


honestly 2 days ago, this dude stole a 23 mil df, 3 mins before my recylers reached, popped his moon and caught his fleet, 98mil hit, see now, he was mad as to why i did that, well dude, u stole my profit, then i hade to waste deut on him again, but i got 32mil deut off him so its all good, but i wanna avoid that, i thought same thing, sending a recycler first and see whats waiting, send it 7min max before i launch recyclers then launch attack, so i can recall, with a comfortable time limit, or just send recyclers with a LF , cargo,etc.

and ship is placed there once and it stays , there is a log for it, it doesnt cover up fleet space, but it has to have a slot, top u can sendlike i said last was like 3? 5 and no more then that, and theystayfor max of 7 days, then build again.....and should i make it so it only stays on ur planets DF space or other peoples too?

Now lets not be getting trigger happy :shock: I've only been making suggestions that I honestly think will make the game better :D
Avatar wrote:How about a solution that might make everyone a little happier...

The ability to send out a patrol mission. Instead of calling it a DF guarding mission.... hehe.

If you think you are going to be hit, have been hit, hit someone else, then you can send a fleet of ships out to a patrol(should only be available on DF slot). This has the ability of possibly being able to ninja a bunch of helpless RCYs and lets face it, that prospect has to appeal to everyone here. We love to R & P the weak in this game :P

** Patrol Mission max patrol time is: 1hr ** That should prevent campers from extended patrols and camping out on the DF.

The other thing it would do is cause people to actually send escorts with the RCYs, which they should HAVE to do. I mean, they don't have cloaking devices right! You can't ESP a DF, so it puts an element of risk in the mission to recycle, makes it a bit more exciting than just clicking recycle!

We don't need new tech to accomplish, just more options with the current tech which I think is perfectly already capable of getting this done...
I like this idea Avatar is right why shouldn't people have to send escorts with their recycle missions. However, if this were implemented then the duet used by the recyclers would need to be adjusted to keep a DF profitable.
Beast(ahsan) wrote:wow, really off topic here, anyways, im a fleeter, i love getting DF, but this would be a ship, wich can only be used 1 at a time, it has a RF against LC, so if a cargo is sent with the recyclers the ship is auto destroyued,anyshp sent with recycler, the ant-theft is auto destroyed, except Esp probes...and scooby, lets keep things on topic
I am sorry I didn't think I had gone off topic. I thought I had instead offered an alternative way to achieve what I thought was the goal, to protect your DF from raiders.
Those with nothing to loose have the most to gain. Long live the Miner!

Who, me? I don't like it. DF is earned; you shouldn't be rewarded for getting crashed.

And what about for MS? There've been plenty of times where I've had to rec the DF I've made; why should I have to lose recs on a friendly mission like that?
