You get what you ask for (asking here meant literally (daily sov revamp threads in F&ID, anyone) as well as figuratively (player behavior ingame that made the game a boring place).

Actually... It decreases idle time for capitals, NOW you can take your ship out to rat without having to worry about getting dropped by 200 people. So cap pilots can now do more than just sit at a pos waiting for a fleet.

As far as engagements it's good to see that over all, not everyone will be there. Decrease in power projection and liquidation of coalitions.

Basically, CCP got tired of the coalition's bullcrap.

Excatly... Caps were not meant to be blobed, but what did CFC, PL, BL, and the rest of the big alliances do? Exactly what caps were not meant to do. They did this to themselves, they took advantage of an exploit and abused sov space with it. Now CCP is doing something about this game breaking mechanic and unfortunately it will greatly limit the ability of jumping around a lot. But I'm sure this will be revisited and balanced out. But a door stop had to be placed on the power projection abuse taking place in TQ atm. Enough is enough.

Most people in null hate the current meta however this will not weaken the coalitions, it will do the opposite.

Sure you can take your small fleet out with a big decrease in risk from a Cap Fleet being drop on you, instead you will have a 250+ Subcap fleet with no way to counter it and you will not be able to get any reinforcements in time and you can't attack their home system because it is defended by a massive capital fleet.

I am sorry to say but this is hardly something i would expect from a CSM. You know you are supposed to represent players not enjoy if they leave and invite them to give you their stuff ?

This is the problem. Everyone is looking at this in the micro scale. So what if 250 people come and attack you? What happens to the systems they left to attack in the first place? Who's gonna stop another group from attacking said undefended systems? This is no longer a 4 way fight. This will turn into a hundred way fight, so putting that into perspective, there WON'T be 250 people available to leave their systems to fight a single group, because the risk of being invaded has increased now that caps and jumping is limited. And with that coalitions might stick around, but they wont be holding as much space as before, for keeping tabs on all that space would greatly weaken their overall capability to assist each other.

And who says you cant counter a 250 man fleet? Get in good terms with your neighbor, and when you attack a system, they attack another. 125 people per system now... what happens if there's a 3rd attacker out somewhere else? 83 now.... You can hold the largest group of people in game, but with the amount of space being held, there's not enough people to defend the current sov boundaries, allowing people to move in as a group. No matter whether there's 500 people in one system, there's sure to be less at the other side.

So let's stop thinking micro scale here. With the changes there won't be 4 groups fighting for massive territories. Instead we'll see tens if not hundreds of groups fighting for their own small pocket which they are capable of defending, if not migrating sov pockets will happen as well. This will be a fresh change to the game.

When a game mechanic is abused, it can very well be considered an exploit. So there you have it.

It's not about the metas, it's about sov space and the inability of smaller unaffiliated groups taking sov for themselves without having the lackeys pushing them back with Nk (n being a variable) man fleets and hundreds of caps at their disposal. Now moving your entire fleet to one side of the galaxy WILL have it's effects, more than likely undefended systems. Who can take advantage of that? Anyone with the ability to gather a few tens of people to bash towers for hours before the defense shows up. So big alliances will lose out on this. HARD, and that's good. Don't like it? Too f'in bad, **** just hit the fan and you're on the receiving end.

you should change your corp name

322 pages of "this doesn't affect us at all, but CCP really shouldn't do this because of :reasons:".

Look, I agree with the change how ever I disagree with the implementation.
Step 1 initiate a max jump fatigue.

Step 2 make the fatigue harder to accumulate.

Step 3 add a skill.

Step 4 fatigue doesn't affect the time between jumps but instead once at max fatigue you are forced to wait for your fatigue level to go down.

Step 5 make a jump timer of 5 minutes per jump so as to keep a fleet from moving to quickly through the universe as well as increase risk to super flyby.

Step 6. Keep jump freighters and rorqual jump distances as they are now. So as to not **** all logistics in the game Sept big alliances with huge infrastructure.

Final Step. Change all jump skills except fuel conserve to something useful because you just made 90% of eve who wasted 90 days training lol 5 jump skills pissed cus with this change they would gain on the lol 4 to 5 on jump call a whole .24 LY. Good job.
