So, someone has taken it upon themselves to hop in a capship, jump into the levi sector, and then turbo out, attempting to charge players a sum of credits to jump out again.

Because the queens in the leviathan sector prefer to target player cappies over NPC ones, a group of players are now using this to deep space the queens several hundred thousand metres out, and asking for 20 mil credits in return for them to jump out. It doesn't make sense that the queens would leave the levi at such a distance. I think 5 000m max distance from the Levi is acceptable.

This is an obvious attempt at trolling, please fix this at your earliest convenience. (I can't wait for the trolls to -1 this too heh)

Yes please limit them to 5k meters from the Levi

5k limit sounds perfectly fair. Maybe even 2k.

+1

yeah, enough with the trolling.
5k is OK.

Moe.

This is the real end end game.

+1, and see ROC play nice policy #3: You may not disrupt the normal playability of a sector or area.

Unless further clarification sais this behavior is allowed, pretty sure thats valid for some finger waggling.

didnt know people do this to troll, but queens can get far out by themself and get stuck, which sucks aswell.
this would fix more nasty levi bugs :)

+1

never fails to amaze me the ways people find to troll in this game.

+1, concur with Wash and Knauf for once.

I made this very suggestion in a tag to the devs a long time ago, keep the queens to a defined distance from the Levi.

Yes! put the queens on a leash! But... 5000m is a little short, these guys are monsters to cappies, and should stay so, but 15000m would give them good option to chase cappies out of range, thereby effectively protecting the levi, but keeping them in visual range.

Deepspacing for credits? Man...

+1 to leashes! hehe

ok as clearly no one gets it let me explain.

1st) mine was a trolling +1

2nd) You can't put a limit on the Queen distance, players could fly just out of range and then shoot them at will from safety thus being able to kill them with little to no risk very quickly. That creates what we call an exploit.

The game is not supposed to be easy. It's a sandbox, players come up with all sorts of creative ways to make money. Honestly holding a Levi sector hostage is brilliant out of the box thinking.

Try some creativity.

Chaining elite mobs is a well known tactic in MMOs to prevent players from kiting them to undesirable locations. This is exactly the same scenario. Don't have them sit at 5k meters, but instead have them return to 2k meters when they reach 5k meters.

It's not brilliant, it clearly crosses the line that separates fair gameplay and outright exploiting game mechanics. The OP doesn't intend for the queens to stay at the 5K distance but return to the levi. This in no way is exploitable.

I like Nyscs 15K distance, far enough so people don't just park capships very close for ease of reps.

How many of those other +1s are just trolls?

Maybe make levis impossible to kill with the queens still up? I agree a limit would be nice. +1

"Maybe make levis impossible to kill with the queens still up?"

As you clearly have never attempted such a thing I invite you to do the math on how many avalons you would need to stack in order to try and de-sheild a Levi with all the queens active. Let me help you, the re charge rate on Levi shields with all 4 queens in sector is 150,000. That is 10 stacked avalons jsut to beat the re charge rate now factor in another 4 to 6 to actually break the shields.

I invite you to try and stack 14 avalons on a Levi with the queens in the sector, let me know how it works out for you.
