I personally believe it will reusher in a old mechanic once allowed many years ago that will add many more points of potential conflict and fun if implemented correctly.

If only to travel from pont A to B with no potential for offensive or defensive actions while enroute, then meh, nothing much will change. The noobs will drool seeing a ship they have never witnessed in operation.

But if capitals are given the green light for Hi-sec operations, offensive and defensive what a fun and exciting change of pace and strategy. Of course Concord will have to upgrade their weapons as well to prevent the asshats from smartbombing or DD at Jita 4-4. No longer will Large POSes be safe in Hi-sec because noone can muster the resources or be bothered to waste the hours required to take it down. Industrialists and researchers would open up a giant potential lootpile to dedicated POS bashing corps. Corps under a wardec would no longer have their most valuable assests out of reach in Hi-sec.

The battlefields would potentially be anywhere. No longer would Hi-sec be limited to minor skirmishes of small ships between warring corporations. Imagine a 200+ fleet fight including caps happening in Amsen, Jita or any other Hi-sec system.

Do you think it will happen again? (capitals allowed in Hi-sec)

To what extent? What do you think the ramifications would be?

CCP said in that capital jump devblog said capitals in highsec would be looked at later.


So.... Maybe.

Yeah sorry... for some reason I'm gibberishing it a lot today. Maybe it's all that plastic I'm eating at work.

I think reverse safariing a capital would be an outstandingly good time.

Actually, OP is right imho. Caps in highsec is probably going to happen. Think about why caps were kicked out of highsec in the first place: CCP introduced Jumping and in an effort to mitigate power projection, made highsec off-limits to them. I mean, yes there were other considerations, but I think that was the primary one. I've tried tanking CONCORD with a well fit Phoenix... yes it takes longer than a normal ship, but it doesn't make a huge difference. More and more CONCORD shows up. It's expensive. Post jump changes, I really don't see any reason to maintain the cap ban. I would bet that not long after the jump changes are made, CCP allows caps in highsec again. In fact, I would bet CCP is already thinking in that direction. Thus, this is an absolutely valid topic for conversation.

Aside from the whole fighters thing and how thoroughly undesirable it would be to have carebears running level 4s.in chimeras, I don't think anyone wants to have to deal with neutral triage carriers. I mean obviously you'd kill some occasionally, but I think that would be a new level of "welp, we're going to die".

... that's a templar. It's an amarr fighter used by carriers.

Pretty sure the idea was for caps to be able to use null and lowsec gates, not hisec.

Oh sure lets put caps in HS

As a matter of fact send it all to hell in a hand basket and allow CSAA in HS . Just imagine all the baby titans growing up.


We will all be sitting in MOMs and Titans and pointing and laughing at the guy that brought a BS to the fight.


OR

how about a no
