Player Features and Ideas Discussion

How about jump freighter being able to jump in HS.

Trying to make one of the safest ships for transporting goods even safer?

Came here hoping for a 'remove JF from the game thread' .... sigh

I wouldn't mind seeing their fatigue reduction removed, at least.

How about giving it 3 high slots and 3 medium slots and the fitting of an assault frigate? You do something for a 7 billion bill. The design is very one sided.

Black ops cynos get first dibs in hi sec. Called it here. Thanks.

No it's: Grrrrrr mindless risk averse numpties are ruining the game

I've built T3s (the full line) several times on and off in WH space. Different WH to boot. I think T3 production is pretty much the high end as far as industry goes. Setting up advanced industry does not need JF being able to cyno into and out of HS. I would think that if null wants to be self sufficient (as it often claims to want), cutting the JF-JITA umbilical cord would actually get it there quicker than anything null has lobbied for. I've never understood why null entities haven't lobbied to get rid of JF all together. Perhaps you could enlighten me. Why is it the big entities haven't banned JF use in their space to promote self reliance?? Do tell - I'm all ears!

My actual point is that there are enough very large and moderately large problems with how null is working right now. Adding HS cyno ability for JF is hopefully not a priority.

The last time slots were given the ships were first nerfed. You got back to your cargo space with expanders. You got back to your EHP with blukheads.

Maybe you should be more careful what you ask for you might just get it good and hard where you do not want it.

Seems to me this is game working as intended.
Did it ever cross your mind that null is not supposed to be self sufficient?
Maybe you are supposed to form strategic alliances with others in order to give you access to everything you need?
Maybe you are supposed to trade some of the stuff you have in abundance to another area in exchange for the stuff you are short on?

Nul got a huge buff to mining and mineral distributions awhile back and you still complain about not being able to source everything you need, did it ever cross your mind that you folks in nul are working against the games design? Perhaps CCP does not want you to have an unlimited source of materials locally as a way of FORCING you to interact with the rest of the players in nul sec?

Mining in nul just got another huge buff with the changes to the Rorqual and still you complain about not being able to source all your stuff locally? Again to me this is game working as intended, make friends or go out and conquer those who have what you need. Alternatively you could scale back production and the things you are producing to a level that you can support with materials sourced locally.

Conflict. I have not heard a better joke in a while, but maybe we have different definitions of the word. When was the last time that a major null sec holding alliance had to defend their towers?

That aside and to your response from the 20th to my post as well as your latest response: This interaction will work marvelously if your major means of transportation can only travel small jumps, the next best thing is too small to transport sufficient quantities and the worst thing to transport sufficient quantities is impossible to defend on the trek because we are supposed to blow ourselves up. Not to mention that CCP has created such wonderful tools to actually allow people to trade with each other efficiently and without running the constant risk of getting screwed over by either party and as result being left behind with nothing but a blown up oil tanker like the one recently in Pakistan. A truly marvelous and enjoyable situation ... Oh wait, I am talking about another game. My bad.

Furthermore, please tell me where I wrote something about a buff to JFs. I would be intrigued to see this piece of text. As far as I can tell I only said that replacing the status quo with even more utterly annoying tedium will have adverse effects on the big comfy coffin. If you want a hand with the metal pot, let me know.
The other issues I agree with, but that's CCP fault. One day, they want everyone in the big toys and break the game to enable that (carrier rebalance with ridiculous DPS and and fancy focus on active gameplay). The other day they find that things progress too quickly and get out of hand and fail to fix things back to normal. That is because of their stupid approach of giving the players stupidly OP toys to have fun with and then murder them back down to normal after players have been having too much fun with them for months/years, which in turn makes the players rage over the nerfs. Same goes for mining.
