Travel Time Solution

I put this in a reply in gen chat but thought it might go better here.

30 jumps is a bit much for anyone. So maybe they have a system where if it's over 10 jumps you can do a "massive jump", but this is EVE, risk vs reward. Every time you massive jump it is very taxing for the ship so after doing the jump your ship has to shut down to recharge and repair for a few minutes during which time your defenseless, at lower health and not hidden in any way. Also a massive jump would cost a chunk of (earning % based so we can all do it even us poors) money since it is done on a new special kind of mega jump gate that is state of the art so it's expensive to run, and we only have a hand full of them so the route would be fairly easy to patrol for those hunting. Thoughts?

Jump Clones...

AFK cloaking doesn't earn anything, so it needs a buff!

FFS... this kind of trolling isn't funny anymore. Not only is it irritating, but it makes genuinely new people think that there is problem where there is none and just makes them whine more... which causes all sorts of headaches and makes CCP question if things really should be changed... when they shouldn't.

no solution is needed because there is no problem.

Dont like long travels, dont do them.

Eve is already too small, no need to shrink it even more.
Distances should mean something.

I have to make 60 Jumps today, with 3 toons, and even I think this is a crappy idea.

It's eve, and spaceships should be used for travel too. Get used to it.

This idea is hilariously bad and would bring new meaning to power projection.
