making those large FW plexes less special

having those spawn as regular plex with medium plex timer length and payout, using the FW plex spawn mechanics instead of the exploration mechanics.

This would increase the number of large plexes you find (one per system) and might even bring larger ships back to pewpew.

what yah think?

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

No, make all of them exploration mechanics. Let's just have Gallente jumping around aimlessly, bouncing from system to system, hoping Calmil scanned something down for them to warp to.

Agree....

But only if you're talking of limiting the minimum size of a ship able to enter them to T2 cruiser, BC and above.

That was on topic. Your idea is bad and you should feel bad.

You are an idiot.

On topic: Yes. The idea has been proposed multiple times to general agreement.

large plexes have no gate. So you are proposing to add a gate? Having plexes which are open is actually quite neat IMO since you can snipe with attack BCs or counter them with frigs and smart warp-ins (just to pick an example). Having a cruiser/bc only site is interesting but i am not sure if it fitts FW. Its open space with all the advantages and disadvantages.

but large plexes are currently so rare that you can basically ignore them. The proposal basically wants to nerf them lp- and time wise to make them identical to medium plexes, but add them to the regular FW spawn tables of FW systems. This would add them to novice, small and medium plexes which respawn every 30mins (or so).

cool, lets hope devs are reading those threads too.. since this change could be as easy as a small modification of the spawn table. Can't imagine its much work.

Just to make a slightly more controversial point. I think it would be good if such plexes we're worth more VP. Would be nice to be able to deplex systems by holding larger plexes rather than having to cap every novice. Would also generate bigger fights as the risk/reward would be enhanced.

FW is fine, no need to change it at all.

Problem is your thinking not the game mechanics.
