Upcoming Feature and Change Feedback Center

This is a good change. I fully endorse it!

The timing of this descision however...and the strange causality-aspects of certain facts in the stageing meta recently, are....interesting. Or as George Orwell put it; -"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others".
(i.e. I'm clearly not one of the "Orwellian pigs" in EVE-Online. But others obviously are! Q.E.D.)

You mean : the usual very small minority of their customers represented by the CSM

Thank you space Jesus and/or Santa Claus.

There should be a distinguishing mechanic for 'offensive' and 'defensive' jumping, which should work like this:

lowsec/sovless null = current fatigue timer + the proposed jump range changes + nothing to factor in being lowsec/sovless.

Sov that your alliance owns = system ADM level factors in to reduce fatigue. This would fall into the defensive category.

Sov that your alliance does not own (including blue sov of another alliance) = system ADM level factors in to increase fatigue.

I don't know the first thing about coding a video game, but i do know that CCP is trying to nerf the ability for bigger alliances from jumping across the universe too easily, in an offensive manner... to give the little guy a chance.

At the end of the day, it seems to me that it would balance out well. A smaller alliance could still potentially overthrow the sov of a larger alliance, even one with a helluva cap QRF. But if said smaller alliance just tries to blobbrawl their way through it, they probably wouldn't have succeeded anyways, buffed jumps for defending caps or no.

Who knows, perhaps more caps will die and we might reverse the mineral price drop coming with 8bill a day one man rorq mining fleets :p

EDIT: changed idea from strategic ADM to overall system ADM. Being that strategic takes relatively little to no effort, makes more sense that the system would work on overall adm levels. (kind of like entosising already does)

Just remember later that I warned against any change to jump ranges or fatigue. You earned whats coming.

My math is really bad today.

You know you have made a serious mistake when the general population of your game calls your feature "aids".

Alea iacta est

I find an interesting mix of complaints (low key) and thanks (also low key).

This was asked for before to cut some of the jump range chokepoints. Does it fix that?

It was not planned (and I doubt it ever will be) to set us back to pre phoebe, so lose those dreams.

Numbers can be misleading. Increasing a Dread's jumprange from 5 to 7 LY increases the volume of space it can jump within by a factor of 2.74. On average you can expect between 2-3x as many systems to be within range. That change also eliminates (or at least widens) a lot of chokepoints.

make no mistake, this proposal is quite a significant capital mobility buff.

Given that the original reasons for the power projection nerf are still very much in place - in fact I would say even more so than ever, given that there's now no plausible counterbalance to a combined N3/PL, I hope CCP monitor the stuation very, very closely. We absolutely do not need to return to anything like the dreadful, stagnant sov null situation of 2012-2014. And if anyone thinks that it wouldn't happen again if it became possible for it to happen again, I have some Arizona beachfront property they may also be interested in.

The amount of historical revisionism I've seen from some people on this subject is hilarious. The situation we have in 0.0 is a glorious wonderland of patchwork diversity and independent wars compared to the pre-Phoebe situation, but it seems that many people think that this new state of affairs is some God-ordained right, rather than a direct result of sharply projecting capital power projection.
