Anomalies and Encounters

[stupidyankee]

something that really annoys me and i think is unfair to alot of ppl is when i find a really nice bio and theres an anomaly there, preventing me from getting it. usually its a small bio that the bigger guys probably can't see or at a station they probably never go to often anyways.

So my question is if we can do missions when anomalies are detected why can't we do encounters as well? I rarely ever see a bio in SO wars and when i do theres an anomaly...and if the fleets belong to say someone like tzarkoth,  i doubt he can see a 20 bill bio. So why not just change it so you can do bios and black holes and other encounters if not at least please give me a logical reason as to why not .

Yeah we should be able to do them just like mission contracts.

Yeah i seriously doubt tz and pika know when a new bio or any encounter is gonna appear. if they do it its for minerals not bios that they can't even see  .

[Mobius13]

ok i overlooked at... but i guess thats one more reason to get scanner


stop yur whining and go get some the hard way like i did

[stupidyankee]

Come on Mob i thought you of all ppl would agree, besides even you can't see anomalies at level 20+ cloaking i hope .

But honestly don't you think its a little unfair everyone else with level one scanner can't see any bios. And even if you can see their system fleets that doesn't mean you can destroy them. There has to be no system fleets at all if you want an encounter. so if someone had a trill fp worth of fleets would you go for it? Maybe i am just whining but i think alot of ppl would agree that anomalies detected at every encounter they find is a little annoying esp for those of use who don't have alts that we can load up with pships . I mean how long can i rely on other ppl to help me find bios  .

[AFB]

Im right with ya on that one- encounters are supposed to be first come first serve, but now ppl can just get them all to themselves 

[stupidyankee]

Thanks AntiChrist but do you know if there is a reason behind why we can't touch encounters hidden behind anomalies  ?

[blakranger51]

System fleet perk.

Alliance members can attack encounters through each other's system fleets, so basically it's worthwhile to go around your friend's bases and mop up the encounters every once in a while.

Encryptions are so common that it doesn't matter whether or not the system fleets block them, so they don't.

[stupidyankee]

Still the majority of ppl on the server aren't in PoF and this isn't to benefit me its for the server. I think we all would be better off if we could do encounters through anomalies instead of struggling to find one bio every week.

[Mobius13]

maybe u just suck at finding bios


i find about 1 on normal days and about 5 on days when im grinding

[stupidyankee]

fine why doesn't emi take a mandatory poll on everyone currently active on wars and ask how many bios they find in a day or week or month.......or maybe not cause only 50 ppl would respond i'll stop talking about this subject cause i guess wars has bigger problems for now then no encounters.

[Mobius13]

yeap... it actually keeps it balanced yank


less stabs & cloaking = more PvP

[stupidyankee]

Well considering Wars only has 40-50 active players i believe stabs and cloaking aren't the problem right now
