Quantum of Solace

The image above is another in the series of movie parody posters featuring your friendly neighborhood pirate blogger. The first was based on Lincoln and the next was based on A HIstory of Violence.

Originally this post was going to be called "Runners & Cloakers" and I was going to, once again, rail against all the FW plex pilots that run away and hide. But you know what? I just don't have the energy today.

It's Monday and I don't feel like it, so I did the poster instead. 

Long story short, stand and fight for what you want. Otherwise we'll just keep working on more and more inventive ways to catch you anyway. I think that Plex should be on a timer, you leave you lose and have to start over. But that's me. And I am the one with the big gun.

Now I just want to log in and use it. See you in space.

Looking forward to Cloakers and Runners that I can paste in local chat.
I shot down a completely un-fit Executioner in a plex yesterday. He then proceeded to self-destruct his pod. Most peculiar thing I've seen in Eve to date.

I think the timer resetting when you leave the plex isn't enough of an incentive for plexers to fit properly and fight to protect their work.

I'd like to see some sort of cost that would deter plexers from simply warping away.

Suggestion:
It costs 200,000isk to start a plex timer (via right click menu on the plex). If you complete the site you get 300,000 isk back, plus the usual LP rewards.

Larger sites would require larger investements i.e 500,000, with 750,000 back for mediums, and 1,000,000 for larges with 1,500,000 back.

that would make plexing MORE attractive, as you can earn ISK as well as LP, but if you cloak up or warp away, the timer resets and you have to start again.

Yes, the prospect of losing ISK would scare off some farmers, but those are the cloaky stabbed up plexers that we don't want around anyway (they're no fun!).
the other plexers may very well start fitting proper PVP frigates to defend their investements.
