This was a bad idea when it was in the game the first time, it will be the second time. Either it's not worthwhile to do or it completely invalidates losing security status.

It beats ratting. Someone who wants to get his sec status up has basically no other chance than that. Now he can toss ISK at the problem, ISK he probably got by blowing someone up. That aside, -10 sec status is a pride thing for some people.

The primary issue that this system encouraged, and why it was removed if memory serves,

"Hi I just spent all day ganking in Jita/Amarr pipeline,  paid 100 mill out of the 900 mill I got to go from -7 back to +3"

There are holes in the system that also completely circumvent the security status system (-10s hopping in ships parking at SS, particularly), but I do not think existing holes should legitimize an excuse. The security status grind is intimidating, and rightfully discourages people from causally pendulum swinging their security status.

Yes this dogtags things is dumb.

Finding new ways to make something in the game less boring than farming, I am all for. But paying is not the solution.

Seri, not only those. It may well disrupt the jump routes of industrialists as well.

Poor industrialists. They will have to do through another road. :3

I heard the tags are only Commander/Officer and will give you less effect if you're under -5.

The +10 from shooting anyone lower than 0.0 while in lowsec needs a bit of clarification but that's sexy.

It's possible to interpret what they said that way, but the whole crimewatch system seemed very half-formed. They're still not sure if shooting at a flagged suspect makes you a suspect or not.

First step is refactoring the current system without changing the behavior. Until that is done, the rest is all up in the air.

Holy crap. The bit with the Sansha supercarrier in an asteroid belt.

I hope that taking a ship like a titan into a belt causes all the roids to be attracted to the greater local mass

Good luck aligning out.

My god....

That Trailer!

[Caellach Marellus]

Localised impact and damage... along with the new battle display.

Missioning just became more fun without them even fixing the crappy old AI.

[Lyn Farel]

Where can we watch some footage of that ?

For the localized damage etc, there was no direct footage, just a slide.  It was part of the CCP Presents vid (Sat keynote) and marked as Future, so unknown when this may go in.

The main videos for the EveTV stream (which normally include the three keynotes) should hopefully end up on their youtube in the next couple weeks.  The new trailer and missile effect demo are already up.

[Horatius Caul]

There was footage, in the art panel.

This. They showed the effects of shots doing both shield and armour/structure damage. It looked really really pretty.

Talking with CCP master plan he says (while we were both drunk)
Although it is likely you will be able to cash in tags to improve your sec status, it probably will drop off, and you won't be able to do it every day, as it will have less effect every time you do it. commander and officer tags will be the main movers, but things like the angel copper tags will probably have really minor effects (0.01% is what was mentioned) so that the changes shouldn't screw too badly with current prices for tags used for faction standing.

It is definitely confirmed that they haven't yet decided exactly what happens when someone shoots at a pilot with the suspect flag in highsec.
