Have noticed WG's blocks before, but didn't realize it was actually such a big market and most mods actually move through there. Yeah, that's for sure. "Common sense" would be that only a small minority sorted by price. What's amazing is that a quick look at contract histories would have dispelled that 'common sense' mode of thought, and yet most people didn't even bother to do that. Their loss I guess. | ||

I doubt that the people who bought stuff off WG/Kwark know that you can look-up the public contract history of other players. | ||

Basically there was a manual intended for goon FCs leaked at one point which described how to shape/form/abuse the grid to gain an advantage in mostly combat at an anticipated site. e.g. you were able to make it so that hostiles see you from 200km, but if they tried to warp to you/approach you they got stuck off the same grid and were unable to see you. Another exploit (I believe CCP went nuts over this one) was the ability to shrink the grid around a static object to 150km radius. Basically a hostile fleet trying to siege a POS under those conditions has to stay within 150km range or they can't target anything. Back in the day we used this stuff mostly for on-grid loads out of enemy range but we also pulled off a successful cascade once (meaning you are able to warp to a "repair crew" 200km off your current position which however is offgrid and the enemy won't be able to do shit about it unless they manually pilot there/probe it out). Maybe you guys find some glorious use for this stuff if it's still in the game. Doubt CCP fixed this shit though since it was part of their basic architecture. =D http://will.neoprimitive.net/grids/gridfumanual2.pdf | ||

You are speaking of two different things. GRID-FU still works, though you might get in trouble if you start messing around with it. The change Ciryandor is speaking of was about deep safes, hundreds of AUs from the nearest celestials. Those you can no longer have. | ||

CCP fixed that stuff being possible like 2 years ago. "a few hundred" trolololol The furthest bookmark is 5,900,000,000 AU (95,000 light years) from its sun. This is roughly the same distance as the diameter of the milky way http://community.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=753 | ||

The other infos are pretty hilarious as well. There are around 2,300 items outside the 20AU boundary Around 60% of these items are ships Around 25% of these ships are unpiloted There are around 430,000 bookmarks outside the 20AU boundary | ||
