EVE Information Portal

All people would do is carry a Mobile Depot with them and when they arrive at the target system, go to a safe and fit the Entosis Link. I like the idea that interceptors and T3 cruisers should not be allowed to fit them or even have them in their cargo hold at all. I like the idea of the Entosis Link, but it is obvious when it is combined with certain ships or modules - it becomes very broken.

2x sensor booster+script range+offgrid booster?

Don't even know how SOV,iHUB and POS work. Good luck making ISK out of a system with no ihub and no sov lvl.

Didn't you know? null sec just bleeds isk out of every oriface. All you gotta do is got to any belt and an Officer spawn is waiting for you, don't even have to shoot it , it will self destruct for you.

-signed, Everyone who has never been to null but thinks everyone in null is rich.

This is SUPERB! I'm really impressed with this new system. I think the core principals and mechanics behind it are sound and will make for a more exciting and rewarding null sec. The minutia and peripherals of it will be refined and tweaked over time and with testing (and there's some real potential there for new, more dynamic and interesting gameplay/tactics/fails) but at the core of it, this new Null Sec/Sov system is SUPERB.

As a wormholer, I look forward to 3rd partying the **** out of nullsec engagements in Summer 2015 :)

If you think this change is to attract people who want to min/max ISK to go claim a foothold in null, you are pretty much missing the entire point of who this is intended to appeal to.

This change is NOT so that everyone gets to have station eggs. It is NOT so that everyone gets to own R64 moons. It is NOT so that everyone can go AFK anom rat at 30m a tick.

This change is so that smaller groups with an identity and a desire to have fun can go easily/feasibly carve out a couple of systems in **** null that ALREADY nobody wants and nobody uses, without having to join a giant blue coaltion or pay rent to anyone. And then stick their name on the map. And then have very little incentive or ability for someone else to come screw with that in any meaningful way unless those interlocutors actually intend to move into that system and evict the residents. In short, WH mentality but for null.

It's telling when roaming WH fights are far more prevalent than roaming null fights. WH evictions are very different and considerably more rare than the usual WH "gudfite". Groups choose to live in C2 and C3 WH's all the time, despite the fact that the ISK efficiency, especially as compared to risk, is pretty "meh".

More fun for you then, so what exactly are you crying about?

The fact that the idea is dumb and will be a waste of time? Just because someone benefits from a situation doesn't mean that can't see what's wrong with it.

Well...

Having trespassed all over nullsec and made observations of the status quo now, and having done it since before Dominion knew the status quo then, I can say that given the butthurt level that has progressed to the point of complete butthole separation (and said buttholes apparently a budding off process of "the usual crowd" and now more have appeared) , these changes will be a good thing.

Directed complaints from a large alliance *coughgoons* should not change this vector considering they are one of the Uncle Bobs.

Anyway, I'm glad to see the comment "weaponized boredom" appear in the dev blog. The Great Malais of 2014 was for the most part a final result of Eve game mechanics centered on being by and for the game style of preventing the game from being played.

The dev blog is like the rainbow after the great biblical flood.

Nullsec needs to be shaken up. I see "they usual crowd" complaining loudly though, and makes me wonder why since they always write about highsec.

As for Trollceptors, so what. I have a lossmail of a ceptor getting insta'ed before the dictor could get a scram on it. It CAN be done I saw it myself.

Oh, you don't want to have to camp your own gates now? CCP is obviously not going to get rid of gates (even though I insist that if all ships could warp on their own it would be an epic breakout of the Malais) and people just gotta death camp them so here you go, it's what you want: you now have a REAL reason to camp them and kill everything that is not blue.

(But you never know if they stage in your system and then strike!! Bwa ha ha ha ha Shoot all teh things)

But you know, I think that these SOV changes will be the greatest buff to highsec to ever occur in the history of the game. Why?
Well, it's going to be hard defending your SOV while running that highsec incursion alt. It's going to be hard having to camp that gate for trollceptors instead of ganking freighters in the highsec pipelines. And even harder having to camp that gate andrat to get sec status back up.

Do iHubs store loot? I don't know you see I have only flown past them because I have not bent the knee to nullsec alliances. But I will look forward to the "just came back to Eve and my stuff is gone" threads. Which are not that different from the "Just came back to Eve and I can't get my stuff because they camped me into the station" threads. You know - gotta get those killz! Hey everybody! Live meat! Zombie swarm!


And here I was expecting something like "if you enter a system while not in the SOV holding alliance you instantly explode and your corpse is used to power the moon goo pumps". But it would appear that CCP has finally noticed that more people "have tried Eve" than actually played it.

Obligatory: My god, it's full of tears...

So small gangs are gonna be having fun, big alliances are gonna be having fun waving around their giant 'hammers' and yet this is a dumb waste of time?

I want them to take away our fun and make us sit in stations ship spinning everyday instead of adding content :(
