If you like this proposal, please vote for it, clicking on the "thumbs up" icon, at the top right of this page or reply with the word “Supported”. Thank you.


Reason: The now almost mandatory need for boosting alt's need to stop. Especially in Fraction Warfare the OGB is heavily used and to increase warp & web scrambler range and speed. In FW low sec systems the boosting alt is almost immune from attacks. A 1v1 now means 1 + Booster vs 1.


Proposal: Change the bonus so it only applies if the boosting ship is on-grid. Example make it a 200km range module.

You're late to this particular party.

CCP has already said they dislike off grid boosting and will be reworking it to require the boosting ships to be on-grid.

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

I did hear that might be the case, just not seen the actual text / post yet, if you have it please link it.

It has been mentioned in different posts and devblogs, that CCP doesn't like off-grid boosting. In the new eden open -tournament stream Soundwave basicly said that the decision to get rid of it has now been made. They don't have a public timeline or details on a new system, but it's pretty much set in stone, that off-grid boosting will be replaced by a new on-grid boosting system.

I would say we will probably see something with the tiericide on the command ships, but that's just a guess.
