Jita Park Speakers Corner

Which is why I advocate changing the Titan jump bridge mechanism such that the Titan jumps to the cyno and takes any ships within, say, 5000m with it. Remote DD was ridiculously OP because it allowed the Titan to have a massive effect on the battlefield without committing anything except a disposable cyno ship, and remote bridging is OP in exactly the same way.

These are ****** corps, but it should be their choice to be ****** corps and your choice to join said ****** corps if you want to.

Fleet movement is an issue because of the SOV. Fix the SOV system and that movement wont be an issue.

If they cant fix the system though, limiting movement would be a nice bandage for the gunshot that is the SOV system.

My question is mainly about blobs.... The game seems to be heading in a direction again where we have no counter at all to massive blobs.With Time Dilation and the way sov works it will end up like it did a little while back,where null eventually settles down and becomes very static and boring with space being held for years by Alliances with no real way to challenge their sov.

Personally I would love the end game to be epic.Where skills, imagination and tactics play a more important role than having loads of characters with average skills who only need to press F1 when told to do so.Imagine if you can wars,instead of being based on single focal points at a time are run over massive battle lines.Where you have both large battles and small battles raging along the 'battle front'.Using different tactics like guerrilla warfare, interception of enemy supply lines,disrupting the industrial side of the enemy(moons,pi) etc,etc.The potential list is endless and would open up some epic gameplay.

Now as I said the game is getting pushed towards massive blobs again and the old 'bring more' or 'you need more friends' isn't a valid argument to let the game go this way.Is the CSM really pushing for null to be this way or are positive steps being looked at to improve gameplay in null so it encourages more people to partake in it and lets all Alliances and Coalitions have a chance to play a role without having to piggy back onto a large blob just to play.

Dear Mittens, a few questions regarding Null life in general, as always i leave it to you to answer as you see fit.

1.On a number of occasions when talking with friends/aqquaintences about playing eve, i pitch the sandbox pvp as the main point (null-sec) to subscribing, this leads to the claims that eve endgame is controlled by giant douchebag conglomarats, that are united by the fact that they are all by nature, complete and utter ass-holes, im never quite sure what to say to that, so i ask the (in)famous Mittani for guidance.

2.Null corps have in general a VERY bad rap when it comes to a non multi-year vet applying, storys are abound of endless scams and dashed hopes, do you belive this rap is justified, that it is truly hard to "break into" Null and what impact it has on the state of Null life today.

3.Null corps have (il admit rather old) rap for being highly dominering, most people do understand the concept of following the chain of command but there are limits to this (ultimately fictional) concept, Example: a player wishes to become a soldier in a null corp to participate in null battles, he will follow his superiors orders and fly the appropriate ship/fit/broad skill plan, but say he is told he must dedicate his skill training to some hyper specific plan for the next 6 months to fulfill the a extremely specific role as dictated to him with no deviance, do you support this philosophy and belive it is affecting the desire for people to plunge into Null.

This isn't election season. I'm not running a campaign in this thread, I'm answering constituent issues. Make up your own mind.

There's already a ton of posts itt about nullsec and it's role. Specifically re: NPC nullsec, I'd like to see disableable station services on NPC null stations that regenerate fairly rapidly (within a day or two) if not repped by a player. Right now there's a major strategic imbalance between NPC nullsec, particularly in 'pocket NPC space' compared to conquerable null.
