*** Vendetta 1.8.293
- CTC cargo gets auto-jettisoned when the capship owner leaves their capship and they have CTC cargo.
- Ship buy-back/buy-preset no longer swaps empty weapons in storage with newly purchased weapons when they are auto-equipped.

Pretty annoying though that they are willing to tweak this but not fix the absurdly low rewards

Different people are responsible for different things. I was out of town most of the week at developer events of various kinds.

Also, like it says in the newspost, there's a lot more significant stuff being developed, but it isn't ready for launch yet.. and I'm being careful about how and when I announce it.

what's the logic behind this?
Isn't that the point of having a Dent, to use it in legitimate game events?

Are some complaining that filling the cargo of a Dent creates an unfair advantage?
If that's the case, why not grab some friends and go hunt this Dent? Dents can even be destroyed solo.

What's next? if too many players participate on one side then that also creates an unfair advantage, are we now going to limit how many can participate per side?

jlake, CtC cargo has always been jettisoned into space when you logoff, and you could never dock at a station while carrying it. With recent changes to Capship features and abilities, it became possible to hold onto CtC cargo between sessions. This is not intended, and that's what is being fixed here.

Not that I don't like that you've responded to my comment or anything Incarnate, but you've dodged the central question. Are you willing to raise the ctc rewards next patch, 500% should do it nicely.

Inc's comment on your comment pretty much imply they have a change in the works.

And methinks jlake is unhappy he can't store purexith anymore.

It just seems illogical.
I agree that it should not remain if one logs off, I'm sure the server can tell when a player has logged off. But for simply leaving the capship?

What's the point of building a Dent if one is not allowed to use it for it's present potential?

I'm pretty sure theres more potential than cheating in a broken game event.

There was an exploit that let you store CtC xith without being logged in if you left it in your Trident, undocked, and logged off someplace else.

Now you can't even undock without it dropping the cargo, which is awful.
May 24, 2014 Pizzasgood link
So you're saying that when a person logged off outside their trident, after the persistence was up and the trident despawned, the cargo was taken with it? And instead of fixing that, the devs just went, "lol, we'll jet it whenever they undock to defend themselves"?

Yep, sounds like them.

Yeah it was a pretty terrible fix.

Thanks for fixing the hang on buyback bug. Those seconds matter when you have a Levi pinned down .

Actually greenwall on second reading of inc's post I'm of the opinion that he's going to release something that will make our complaints about ctc rewards irrelevant. At least I hope that's the case.
