Player Features and Ideas Discussion

It was easier to draw.



What you're describing literally already happens under the current sov system and nothing will change that with the new proposal. If anything this will become easier, as an attacker under the new proposal will no longer need to send significant portions of potential combat fleets to grind through structures while other segments hellcamp the defenders' staging, as they can just send like 10 rifters with sov lasers instead.

So in that regard, nothing really changes. Depending on how far from a non-secure border an entity's staging system is, it will still require days' worth of invasion before a staging system can be taken and an alliance "headshot".



I'm sorry to burst your bubble but my definition resulted from me typing in "definition of dynamic" into Google and using the first result: http://puu.sh/gFeuM/1851ed1bf8.png

So who should we believe is a more legitimate and dependable source on what definition of a word is most common or relevant? You or Google? My vote is with Google.




I don't understand the logic behind this (probably because there is none). First you say my idea will cause nothing but chaos, but now you've back-pedalled and are claiming it will all go back to normal?

First off, nothing in the system CCP has proposed will change the status quo. Instead of fleets of Ishtars and supers grinding through sov, we'll have sov lasers and incredibly limited 4-hour windows in which all sov is literally invulnerable for 20 hours every day. That is literally the opposite of change. That is, if anything, ensuring the status quo.

But you're right in that my idea won't prevent the large power blocs and alliances controlling the best sov. Nothing will change that, and nothing really should change it. The idea here isn't to prevent the largest groups from holding all the worthwhile segments of null - it's only to prevent the largest groups from holding all of the sov. Which is exactly what's happened. 90% of nullsec is controlled by 3 entities who are under virtually no threat of losing any of it save for some cataclysmic political eruption, failcascade or drama. And the 10% they don't control is the small pocket of the most worthless space that one group is letting a smaller entity have because it's fun to **** on them all day.

Under my suggestion, holding onto this much space will simply be impossible. Holding onto any space without having people willing and able to defend it in short order will be impossible. These vast stretches of mostly-empty space inhabited by a handful of botting ratters will no longer exist as the sov-space of a monolithic entity worlds away.

So please explain to me why you think this isn't true?

Guud fights, that's what they said.

So basically they'd end our 0.0 dream, and then later on we'd end their 0.0 dream.


Sounds like it would shake up nullsec indeed.
