Would it not be prudent to look at nurfing Freighters from being able to use the Jump Bridge on a Titan

Their best idea for that would make them unable to enter the highsec side of a wormhole.

Which is flatly unacceptable.

But it does show that they are aware of the issue, at least. Just not that they really know how they are going to fix it.

What would this achieve?

It would force people to use jumpfreighters, if they want to jump freighters Blink.



Other than that It would make importing SOV uprgrades ridiculously difficult (which might not be the worst thing)

One way it can help is bye increasing null sec plantery interaction economy bye making alliances seek to buy ihubs built in the home region instead gooing all the way to high sec and spending good isk on NPC sell orders.

Building the ihubs yourself is already quite common, since by doing so a jump freighter can deliver the hub (in component form) to the location, rather than requiring a titan bridge or wormhole.

Lobby CCP to let players build the ihub upgrades and you might have a point.

With the jump Freighter nerf coming + jump fuel usage going up would it be cost effective to continue in that way. There are jump fuel conservation low slot modes incoming but I can't see them helping much .

People are seriously overestimating the impact of the fuel thing - yes, I'm perfectly fine with paying 22.5m isk to jump a hub in like I described instead of 15m isk, if it means I can do it on my own and not have to get a titan bridge or a freighter escort op. And yes, I will continue to do so despite the so-called "nerf" because I can just fit cargo expanders.

This this this. A thousand times this.

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.
