I know ctc has its flaws, but it is fun for some players and it not hurting anything by keeping it in the game. It sepecially gives newer players something fun to do.

Make changes if you see fit but keep CTC going, forever.

One change that was mentioned in game is to switch the serco and itani start points. That way each have a little bit longer trip and Odia becomes the choke point.

Who said it was going away?

everyone in game says it going away. any truth to that statement?

That's one of those stupid rumors that popped up at some point and everyone keeps repeating as fact. Mostly from those who got bored or fedup of ctc and want something else.

The closest thin I remember the devs saying in that regard was that it might be replaced as the primary conflict content at some point (which it is partly already is with bp and bs) or that it will be obsoleted by better content ..which is probably a long way off

ctc went away, long time ago, at the exact moment the rune did (the 1.2.3.4 nerf release).

anyone still denying that needs attention fast.

Eh, incarnate said that it was going to be replaced. With something better.

I Trust the devs, Bess.

do you?

Upper case, CTC only goes away if players let it go away.

I think CTC should either be replaced by something that inspires nationality and competition a lot more, or be modified so it fills that role.

Yeah I think it will be replaced by something cooler, as will border patrol and border skirmish and some other mission-type things.

a long while back i talked to andy (i think it was andy) and he said that eventually ctc would be modified and made somewhat less formalized, not removed.

the idea was that EVERY cargo would affect other cargo's / finished products, so if you starved the itani nation of.. say... plasma cores, then the price of plasma cannon would increase in itani space/or become unavailible.

I think it all ties into the redesigned economy way down the line... i mean... coming "soon" to a universe near you.

Yes, that's more in line with what I understood.

i think it was described that ctc would get modified so that not purified xith but rather dried agave extract would be the subject of convoy.

or was that some informal talk on coi.org?

Spell, the dynamic economy is already partially in place ;)

they could just leave it running with the only reward being some cash and faction. hell id do it for nothing, i already recieve nothing from it but spend money on ships doing it. no real reason to remove it just remove the effect of it instead

Great! Then attacking the enemy's supply lines would actually have some meaning. And then Navies would finally make sense.
