Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Yea i should have known better before posting something ironical here. But i will edit it to prevent further irritation.

However since you are busy with your feighter ops i could also just give no fucks and jump blind ;)

i still say there should be a standard ironic font.

the one thing i liked about the old system of frieghter ops was that the "big guys" would live closer to lowsec/hi sec and leave the deep space for us small guys... as you said who wants to go that many jumps amirite? now adays every 0.0 system can be reached with less risk then undocking from Jita.

plus you might poke fun at me but back in the day you constantly had stuff to do that was not just roams and strat ops.

by escorting the frighters you were being involved in helping your little empire grow. it meant something

i remember when everyone belt ratted and there were miners everywhere and vegabonds trying to kill everyone. it was fun saving your buddy from a rat or fight off with the kitchen sink in system from a roaming gang. it was a great time before SRP when loosing your domi meant something.

those times were great because you could have escalating pvp without the batphone...

I don't know about instantly killing it, but I agree that titan and blops bridging being restricted to >25km of a POS would be an amazing and extremely amusing change that would really "shake up the meta" as CCP likes to put it.

It certainly wouldn't be bad for the health of nullsec in any possible way. At the very least, prod the CSM about it.

Come on, Fozzie. You know you want to do it. I know you want to do it. Everyone knows you want to do it. Pull the trigger.

This actually makes sense. GJ for finally fixing something.

CCP screwed WH guys over and added basically same type of mechanic. About 3% of them liked it.
CCP does same thing to null.

THIS MUST BE CHANGED, WE MUST SAVE NULLSEC.

we're not all SOMEONE HAS MOVED MY CHEESE aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

the vast majority of the response is positive, there's just a minor tweak to the idea to eliminate some odd and probably unintended effects necessary (or some explanation of the goals so we can suggest changes that meet those as well)

if we were wormholers this thread would be 100 pages of unsub threats and poorly spelled ranting instead of a lot of "good idea! just needs a tweak"

Since CCP rarely comments on specific punishments regarding specific players, I'm gonna look into my crystal ball and say No, he probably won't be commenting on that.

I think he already told you the conclusion. You just have to inject and train comprehension skill to lvl 1!

The fact that you need to take that extra step adds an element of risk that was not present before. You should probably consider how a prepared enemy can disrupt your proposed method... it wouldn't be difficult.

Any time you bring that fleet into a POS you're going to have to take an extra (unprotected) jump to get inside the POS shields, which adds a layer of vulnerability (albeit a small one).

As a small first step, it's a good one.... hopefully not the last one.

Good game play comes from activities being risky, not from activities being easy... and right now it is far too safe and easy to move a cap fleet (or jump freighter) anywhere you like.

It's ironic, people mock those that say yes to the thought of needing to do freighter ops again to move logistics out to null. And yet those freighter ops used to provide more good fights in a single night than you currently see in Null in a week or more.

Harder and more time consuming? Yes.
More fun, more fights, more unexpected surprises (both good and bad)? Absolutely.

For those that claim they never got a fight transporting goods back and forth to null in a freighter op either:
1: Never actually did one.
2: Did one or two, got bored halfway through and logged off (conveniently forgetting to mention that part).
3: Had opponents so wimpy at that time you wouldn't get a good fight no matter what you did.

Time to stop listening to your lazy industry pilots. If you want to have more fun, let CCP start interjecting some of the risk back into null sec daily activities.
