Hello Gentlemen, & Ladies,
I'm an old EVE player, I started in the Beta during 2003 and then in the first year of the game. I was a pirate, and with my parrot on my shoulder I remember doing numerous bad deeds, from scamming characters i assume must have been grandmothers, to tanking the sentry guns in Hi-sec with a group of other nefarious bar-stewards and essentially destroying Jita until the devs had to come. Ahh, those were the days. I left Eve after the first year due to not having to time, but DUST....Is perfect. I can immerse myself in the rich and satisfying waters of New Eden, revel in the backstory, the setting, the concepts, the artwork, the disgusting Ammarian slavery, the corporate greed of the Caldari, the French revolution of the Gallante or the stalwart defiance of the Minmatar, i can do it in a FPS without the MMO part taking over my life and leading me to drop out of work and claim fraudulent benefits.
DUST is a truly fantastic game, and firstly, if any Devs ever read this post....simply...Thankyou. Your awesome.
Secondly, I have actually forgotten some of the finer nuances of the game, so I have a few questions for anyone kind enough to help me!
Firstly, I'm looking to create a fast hit and run scout char. Am I right in thinking scan profile means the ability of others to see you on their HUD? So -5% scan profile means that there is less chance they will see me? This is slightly confusing, but also pertinent if i'm looking to create a stealthy character. Ie: Train up dampening ect.
Also, Is there any way to sell or delete modules? and will we be able to sell/trade with other plays and eve players eventually?
Thirdly, What is the unladen weight of the typical African Swallow.

I'm not sure, the Holy Locus Hand Grenade just blew it up.

Hi Hojdar,
There is a manual! It's in the Stickies at the top. However, it doesn't mention anything about Profile Dampening.
Yeah, There really should be some clarification. I have also seen some skills that say -5% when they should say +5%, because the -5% would be a decrease in the proficiency of the skill. I cant remember specifically what the skills were but I have seen two that are incorrect in their description.
However, In CCP's defense....It's still the Beta. |

That helped clear up the idea, Thanks Sontie (Even though the numbers hurt my head, I'm not great with maths)
In regards to Play actions, I have noticed in another thread someone mention sprinting negatively effects your own scan profile, Making you easier to spot.
I also think Scan Profile dynamics will come into play once they bring out cloaking. I imagine firstly, that the skills will be a prequisite to any cloaking skill, and also they will come into play with its effectiveness.
While not very well explained, we can agree, I think they are an important set of skills that will see more use and relevance in a later build/release build
I will do mate, I'll hit you up in game with a FR |
