Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Since the capital jump range decrease last October, the open market for capital ships has been in steady decline. For the last month, buy orders on carriers are so low that it is nearly worth self destructing hulls for insurance. I understand the desire to limit power projection, but a total nerf on jump range has made simple hull order delivery and other logistics very difficult.

To bring this back back into balance, I suggest adding a high slot module that takes away gun/missile slots and reduces drone bandwidth to 0 while increasing jump range. This will allow players to jump caps longer distances for logistics purposes but not be combat ready when they land. Making them 10k m3 in size will limit refitting outside of a POS or Station. You can leave jump fatigue the way it is and longer jumps will cause longer timers.

Working as intended.

Death to all capitals.

I'm pretty sure they already fixed jump ranges and that it's all working as intended. Or as we like to call it, emergent or some such.

You can. Doesn't do much for moving empty hulls, unless you got the carrier for under the insurance payout. But then again, that's kinda what my post was about.

just made me look them up, geuss whos getting a second niddy? :D

Buy 5 Archons!

woah woah woah, I thought CCP put the sledge hammer away a few years back? Although the cap changes are a rather large shakeup I'm not too in the know about caps to have a clear judgement of the change. To the individual pilot it does seem quite burdensome, however for the fleet it seems like a good idea

Haha I see what you mean.

Just bought a Rorq (for easy jump clones) and realized too late that I'll need 10 jumps to get it to my lowsec home (assuming all intermediate station systems). Ooops.

But OP, the answer is simple: nerf to 'galaxy-wide' market, buff to local production. Which is probably a good thing.

Living in 0.0 and owning caps - Phoebe is working as intended and the suggested solution seems to be one valid objection.
What null needs is more guerilla warfare, not less. OP suggestion is a step back to less guerilla warfare.

They're down in price because there's no reason to use them. Come the sov changes fighting will begin again and caps will sell once more. Patience, my friend.
