EVE General Discussion

Stasis Leak;

I think the fact that people keep posting suggestions/changes means they dont "accept excuses", and want "something done to enhance the gaming expirience".

As for your IT background (I assume private sector). Yes I do understand the aspect of customer service and doing your best to deliver (working in private sector myself).
CCP has improved performance since I started playing in 2006. Is it enough or have they gone about it the right way?
Judging by HED yesterday (and other fights); clearly no.

Hence we are sitting in this thread throwing off "ideas". I do assume that Im not the only without IT/Coding background, so wether our suggestions are possible, realistic, cost efficient etc is up to CCP DEVs/CSM to decide.

Then you can do 12 jumps a day, Which means that Tueday's Branch fleet can easily save a timer in Immensea on Thursday.

Instead of the once per day deal for jump drives, it should be more functional in light years with a cap.

So everything that makes you go from one system to another without taking gates eats away at this pool of power projection. That includes jump drives, jump bridges, titan bridges, jump clones and even pod deaths. We already have these new skills in regards to having more clones and lower time to clone jump. So re-tasking them to enhance the power projection pool can be done without introducing new skills players have to train.

This would mean players would need to actually be strategic how they wanted to spend this pool. Could be all at once with jumping a carrier a time or two exhausting it or moving several different clones to a staging system so they can be more flexible on hardworking to give them an edge in flying a variety of ships. Also it would have more meaning to podding someone who is far away from their medical clone station. Because you know they will not be jumping a Slowcat carrier on your face 30 seconds later. Podding some brought a cheap damp Celestis would not mean they would be right back via titan bridge with yet another Celestis moments later.

The only remaining matter is figuring out a balanced cap on the power projection pool.

Oh it's a lot more than 10, Bob.

So very much more.

Yes.
I would assume that a system that is capable of clocking all of those kills is also capable of determining whether or not they were actually in HED or Jita.
Seems reasonable to me.
Maybe spending the last 12 years as an executive, demanding things, has skewed my perception.

I like you almost as much Marlona, I just wish you'd organize more useless community events

I seem to have somehow upset you, whoever you are.

I can't tell you how bad your content-free crying makes me, because I like being truthful.

Niding, I understand what you are saying. Clearly, I'm not charitable enough to give the company the huge amount of leeway that most people obviously do.
I've never seen a provider do better because everyone patted them on the back and said "good try!". I have, however, seem many instances where someone, under the gun for screwing up, suddenly pulled a rabbit out of a hat and became the hero of the day.
I don't think the c'est la vie attitude toward these failures do anything for the company. Rather than blaming the players for playing the game, how about taking a little bit of responsibility.
I don't care about whether or not the fix is cost effective or convenient for the company. I'm a discriminating consumer, and I want what I pay for.

It is a combination of several factors. Like you describe, the current sov system and another major one is power projection. Basically the only bottleneck for the player being at the fight is if they want to or not. What they bring and when they bring it means very little given how easy it is to do it.

There needs to be more strategic choices. Right now, why bring an interceptor when I can bring a capital ship to an I-hub fight? Why stay and guard the walls to my territory when I know I can be just as effective showing up at the last minute before any harm is done? Why bother keeping an eye on assets in space when the moment someone looks at one wrong, I get a nifty little message telling me so instantly? The only exception so far has been the mobile siphon and that has only come about recently.

Bottom line is there is little to no reasons to not blob and to not bring the biggest ship you can find. Solve that, and you fix a lot of our problems. Everyone piling into one system onto one grid should have real penalties while you are not home.

Why not another bad sov idea.

Each TCU generates subspace bauble around Ihub and itself for each timer. ( not for station timers).

This subspace bauble can be accessed only by subcaps up to 50 people from attacking and defending force.
( we cloud use standing system here and for defending and attacking side only people having +10 could warp to this battle ).

This subspace bauble can be accessed only 10 minutes before reinforce timer - after 10 minutes it closes and players that are inside have to fight other side.
( no cloaks allowed)

Wining side can access acceleration gate that allows access to some structure.
It have 2 options:
- SBU signal scrambler - all sbu in the system cycle , so timer is won till they are online again , if you will be able to able rep structure.
- Shutting down subspace bauble defending TCU or Ihub - only then you can cyno in capital fleet on the structure

This is bad idea - but it is far more better than the current nonsense.

So 50vs50 on separate node BEFORE current nonsence.
