EVE Information Portal

bet 1 isk you are completely underestimatignhow PL will deal withthat. If you think they are such inactive nad lazy bunch to reduce their activities to that ...

they will likely distribute a bit more their capitals and wil probably travel a lot with them trough gates, since no one would engage them in their side of theuniverse when they are traveling with the capitals.


They will nto solve the new limitation by being so short sighted as you suggest.

CCP,
You realize that this will be the end of EVE, people will quit and never come back, your only profitable enterprise will fail, this would be the opposite of a 'Come to jesus moment' you need to bring people back into the game.

1. Why do you want ships with jump drives to be faster going through gates?!
That's the entire POINT of a jump drive, these ships are a massive pain to build and supers can't even dock. To make up for that they are capable of fast travel, amazing tank, and damage potential that is awe inspiring, these players have trained for YEARS to own and fly them, and they also have dedicated accounts to sit in them. After all of the money they have paid to play the game and all of the game hours have they have put in why would you destroy there value? Maybe have a 5 minute cooldown but under no circumstances should the timer have a multiplier, and NO way should they be faster through gates that is the entire point of the ships! Nerfing the range so that there are some jumps that CANNOT be made is beyond crazy, people won't go to those places then, they'll be empty because regional industry can't be maintained, (point 3 read on). Saying that is just as idiotic as saying that covert OPS shouldn't be flying around with a cov ops cloak II, that's part of what makes them awesome and worth the price tag, otherwise people would just use T1 explo frigates for 1/20th the cost.

2,Events like BRB are the BEST thing you at CCP have going for you right now.
BRB made national news all over the US where I live, it drew people into the game, I heard people who didn't know how to send a text message talking about EVE ONLINE. If there current server setup can't handle those battles then upgrade them, Events like that are an awesome and free way to get new subscribers, as a company you should be all about them. A once a year or 2 year capital slug fest that equals thousands of dollars lost in game ships and modules that makes national news and is repeated for 3 days over the non stop 24 hour news cycle is the best advertising money can buy and it's free!

3.This will destroy the in game industry.
I love EVE but it is already a massive, massive, MASSIVE logistics nightmare. How can you even hope you have regional industry when not all items are available in every region?! Even lower grade ore can't be found in quantity enough in NULL, let alone regional isotopes from ICE, salvage, moon goo. Everything is spread out all over the known universe, take for example the KEREs and simple T2 electronic attack ship, Gallente flavor;
This small ship requires 7 components that are made from moon goo, morphite which can't be mined in high sec so it must be imported, and lets not forget that all of those 7 components are made in a staion / component assembly array from 2 different types of moon goo, AFTER the moon goo has been through a reactor. The point is that the current industry even for the smallest and simplest advanced ships require a HUGE amount of planning, fueling POSes, moving to different POSes, moving materials to HIGH sec, mining, refining, research agents for the data cores, then moving all of the materials to another location to make the ship, and STILL then moving the finished product to a trade hub to sell. HIGH sec needs NULL sec just as much as NULL sec needs HIGH sec if you can't move things easily and cheaply the cost of everything will go through the roof and industry will be left in ruins.

4.Why would you punish your loyal subscriber base by destroying an entire class of ships instead of fixing REAL problems with EVE?
This makes no sense for someone who has spent years preparing to fly a super, THATS WHY IT TAKES YEARS! It's supposed to be a big reward for the long training requirements and loss of a character that can now only sit in 1 ship. If you would like to fix something how about the new player experience, or lack there of? Most people quit because the new player experience is HORRID, I would have if someone hadn't said I should join BRAVE, but is that how you want to keep people around? Just hoping that when in an NPC corp chat window they say this game is horrible, my overview in crap, the learning curve is straight up, the missions are boring, and I don't know what to do. Someone else says hey join these guys they will help. The best way to keep people in the game is to get them in a good player corp you know that as well as I do.

5.This will not help NULL stagnation it will make it worse.
This tips the scale even more in favor of the defenders because there caps are close at hand, no one will attack because then they'll be hot dropped just like now and won't be able to counter drop. And why would you think that this idea should even BEGIN to apply to jump bridges?! That's the ENTIRE point of having them, they are a REWARD for taking and maintaining space they allow for faster travel, safer travel, and quicker responses for fights to defend ones space. Death cloning is really not an issue and shouldn't even be on CCPs radar, this just makes trying to join a new corp as a new player even harder and is a waste of time to even be talking about.

6.EVE dudes who think this is a good idea and want to go back in time.
It's not going to happen; the game is different, new ship classes, more caps (which since they're an end game ship you should expect), and now people can claim entire systems for themselves. Instead of complaining about NULL power blocs, get together and go fight them, that's how the GOONS, TEST, and now BRAVE got started to name a few.

In closing since only like 3 people will read this far, (thanks by the way), CCP you are removing the reward part of the game by this MASSIVE blunder you are talking about, people do things for rewards it's that simple

7o

As a smaller gang cap pilot who's not particularly engaged with any of the capital power blocs, I think this might just do it for my time in Eve.

First you make it painfully expensive to move capital assets around, then you make it about 3x more painful than that (15ly ---> 5ly, 3:1 reduction in range...) to move anywhere.

Understand that you're trying to make way for the player-owned stargates and all that, however breaking the game isn't the way to manage mobility.

Why not just cut to the chase and show everyone's avatars in the Captain's Quarters rolling around with no legs on a wheelchair?


I'll wait to see how all this turns out, but I'm not liking being penalized for training up JDC5 and other skills only to have the rug pulled out from under me. Boo, CCP. Boo!

I Like this changes a lot, And i use JB,s Caps daily. this will generate a loot of fun fights and titan gate caps ^^


Only JF's Nerf is bad .... some systems are so so so deep, like drone regions. amount of cynos needed will be over 9000.

and kill the residents :<

i don't think there is a real need to nerf the JF's in any way.


Other than that SUper cool ^^ i sure will get a titan now my self lol

Mmmm...mmmm...

Love me some dull-sec tears...

"bits" large enough to fit a small alliance, which would be happy as is.




Who would bother attacking head on powerblocks? Powerblocks will have to re-focus and proably leave out portions of unused territory without anyone having to bother attacking them at their super-defended "core".




EvE used to be a galaxy of small and medium alliances bound to their limited territory. I am not even sure in the beginning there will be somebody caring to "get strong and attack cfc, nc or pl".




Yeah, i hear you. "All is pointless, let's sit down and suck our thumbs while EvE declines, do nothing because nothing will change".

I have news for you: doing nothing is asphyxiating EvE. Therefore sitting down and waiting is not going to work.

Plenty of chances the new changes won't work either, but at least they tried. Try >>>> sit down and wait.

So when is that new large nyx model coming out CCP? I'd love to sell off all my chars for isk and change them into plex to buy one nice thing to remember EVE by after quitting.

Stop being lazy instead of quitting.

Bio or it didn't happen.

I quit eve every month, but I don't cry about it.

Which is exactly what you'd expect the reaction would be from those that want null to stay the same.
