CCP must make that scale of fat entities unmanageable by nerfing jump fatigue for logistic again (forcing localized industry and localized market) and reducing the alliance size on the map with exponential sov fee.

Outposts must be destroyable.


Please make outposts destroyable. We've wanted that for years.

We've also been arguing for localized industry and markets. Really, the problem you're going to run into here is: if you make it difficult to move a jump freighter across the map, who's going to have an easier time getting resupplied or buying/selling? The alliance with 200 guys and 4 jfs, or the one with 12,000 guys and hundreds of jfs to share the fatigue?

Right now we have several sigs out attacking all across eve while running a highsec organisation, WH sigs and a large home defence force. We can deploy several thousand pilots to the task of attacking targets without reducing home defence.



I get that and I believe that you can and do but the next question is how long can you pilots keep it up? It is the opposite of blue balling, seems like after the first week or so of E-linking a structure to just be chased off to another would drive burn-out up. GSF is great at organizing but individuals are already complaining about having to be vigilant just to keep their space. How long will it last? Is GSF capable of continuing a "burn Null" campaign for more than a month or so. I am trying to look at this objectively because I want the game to fun and interesting to everyone.

We shouldn't get tunnel vision on one specific hull or setup to the point that it blinds us from the point of the changes, fun. We want fun fights and hell camping a station for a week may be fun to one side and not the other but with these changes the fight has to continue in different parts of space and that will probably require more that a few ceptors with an E-link and if it doesn't then the losing side deserves to lose.

If you flood a region with interceptors and it causes lots of fights, some of which escalate in larger fights then the mechanic works and if you flood a region and the occupants don't defend and lose space the mechanic works. Either way I don't see how one group can keep up a sustained offensive of system trolling without suffering burnout or without causing larger fights. Either way there will be a winner and loser and both will be determined more by activity and less by inactivity.

Which has shown better results? 1 guy in a lab, or hundreds of research teams all over the place?

I have absolutely no doubt that if an organization as large as Goonswarm can reliably entertain it's members by RF'ing the rest of nullsec every few days, then they absolutely will just because they can.

None of them have been solved, period.

There is no cure for cancer, no one has ever successfully invaded Russia during winter, and perpetual motion is physically impossible.

Suggestions for addressing the timezone issues:

1) Expand the window to 8 hours
2) If you pick a 4 hour window, you also get a 2 hour window 10 hours from the end of your chosen window. This would mean that a US TZ window would have an opposite time that would be RUS friendly and an EU window would have AUS friendly times.


This, the prime time 4 hours needs to be changed to 8 at least.

That was actually solved, but interestingly enough it was solved by accident while trying to create heart medication.

Then this mechanic shouldn't be much of a change for your people with the exception that you may get more fights that aren't dependent on an apex force. Again, it sounds like the new mechanic would be working because either you win because they don't undock or they fight and GFs are had.

The point is to inject activity and these changes would seem to do that allowing the occupants of systems to determine the outcome by being active or inactive. Taking and holding sov by occupancy instead of HP.

Right, and so using them as examples of problems that were solved better using less brainpower doesn't work.

That wasn't the point. The point is to show that there are, in fact, problems that have not been solved with more brainpower.

Perpetual motion in particular is a big, big example of that. People have been trying to solve that one for almost two hundred years.

Cancer as well. Large groups have been researching that for decades, with no real effect besides killing a lot of white rats.

There are issues.

The first being the trollcepter puts too much dickery in our hands.

The second is there is no reason for any new organisation to bother trying to take a system for themselves.

I think that is good idea plus 1.
