Low fitting requirements

...and it would take three hours to shut off the repair services.

Or, do they want you to only take what you can hold...actually? Looks like the donut will be eaten pretty quckly. You may put your entosis on something, but unless you back it up, someone else will come along and do it to you. This is very intriguing. As far as the fit, it looks as though they want everyone to have the capability, not just an "elite" few. The idea being to open up the game, which is rather stagnant atm.

Pretty sure a cyno costs 0 cap.

I thought this only happened in primetime, unlike the militia plexers who seemingly never sleep alliances will only have to chase off interceptors for a few hours a day right?

This should be great fun - I just have a mental image of the militias running around Null Sec in Derptrons attacking sovereignty whilst being chased by angry Null Bears in Supercarriers wondering why solely pressing 'F1' is not sufficient to be successful anymore.

I foresee dozens of systems being attacked at once by smaller gangs and strategic division of forces will have to be made to counter them.

Should encourage a lot more movement rather than a massive blob.

Though, it all still culminates in a timer fight for the station it seems.

Perhaps not the cap, but the long cycle and the large amount of fuel to activate it decides whether it can be done with a frigate or not, as with the large capacitor requirement suggestion. If it requires 500+ cap, which frigate will be able to pull this off?. Both modules are similar in some ways. We need to know if the module stays active if you run out of cap during its cycle though.

And, Aria,I think too many people assume there's actually going to be someone available to respond. There are so many empty systems, and an Interceptor can avoid confrontation in one system and just go next door or down the block without fear of bubbles. I can bet you any amount of Isk that if this thing can fit in the utility high many ceptor's have, you will see them being used more than any other ship both offensively and defensibly.

Even if you can't make a station reinforced until the window, you can still mess with station services and move on.

But once you activate the entosis link, you have to wait 2-10 minutes for it to actually start, and during that time you are locked in place.

All the opposing force has to do is send out intys of their own to counter the effect.

So if the entosis link can fit on an inty, then we can foresee prices for intys going up.

How badly are sov holders fuming right now?

Are you going to hold your entosis link the whole time while that fast frig runs around the 500km diameter sphere (or 250 km radius) playing hard to catch? Entosis link should have the same properties as cyno when activated - locks you into place, and puts a beacon on you. If the system is truly empty, it wouldn't matter, and you get to smack on forums about how you took sov solo and nobody came.

Here's a bit of conspiracy theory for you, in twue GrrGewns style:

1. CFC has generally won fights through mass of numbers.
2. Even with distributed objectives, CFC can still throw 250+ in each control point during a timer.
3. If Trollceptors are viable, the defender can frustrate a full 250-man fleet with 2-3 Trollceptors each. Since a defending EL will cancel out an offensive EL, the attackers make no progress until those Trollceptors are forced off.
4. So the point is not to nerf speed RF-ing a cluster, it's to prevent small groups from being able to stall larger attacking groups.
