Quote of the Week: About damned time!
There's really only one thing to choose for the QOTW:
Ships that self-destruct whilst under aggression will now generate a regular kill-report.And there's only one thing we say about that: about damned time! That only took about five years to make happen, heh. 8 August can now not come fast enough.
That said, I think we can expect one unintended consequence of this one. I know there's a class of EVE player out there that will only commit their super or capital ship today because they know their opponents won't or don't commit enough DPS to kill them in 120 seconds. This class of player will now likely no longer commit their super or capital ship. You know who you are. As a result, we'll see a smaller number of small-scale capital ship engagements.
That's it, though: one small down-side in what is otherwise a long-awaited positive change. Needless to say, the thread for this change is now up to nine pages of "thank you, CCP!" as I write this.
This change does suggest a second, related change: CCP, how about making the self-destruct timer 60 seconds instead of two minutes? Sixty seconds is the traditional length of time for this, after all...
