Player Features and Ideas Discussion

lol.. that... specially JF.

Look at how CCP's changes for this summer have been tweaked wtih both low sec capsuleers and jump freighter pilots in mind. Looks like my vote for Sugar Kyle for CSM9 has already paid dividend!

Where can I make a campaign contribution for your run for CSM10?

I didn't realize that there were caps with less than 4 low slots. cause you know that after 4 mods the stacking penalty makes more useless.

There is no point in introducing useless modules. If modules are introduced they must make some sense to fit, even if their reasonable usage cases happen to be situational with very small niche.

As addressed in multiple occasions the outright removal of jump drives from EVE will not stop power projection on its own. Although it for sure would be a very populist move in a sense of addressing one of the more visible effects instead of going after the root causes. And ofc like all populist moves it would have significant "unintended consequences" which are obvious to anyone with few brain cells to rub together.

So:
Let's be reasonable. The first choice of moving large amounts of [insert something] would be the Anshar because of it's cargo-to-fuel ratio.
An 3x Cargo Expander Anshar has 341.990,9m^3,
an 2x Cargo Expander Anshar has 268.228,1m^3 (all presumed Freighter IV).
So if I am reading the numbers correctly: What you are proposing is a factor 0.783fuckme decrease in cargo hold (spelled out for the public: -21.5686blerg%) to gain a (at maximum, probably horribly expensive) -10% decrease in Jump Fuel? I'd like to know the sales guy who could convince me that this would be a grand idea after you screwed over small corporations by increasing their fuel costs. If you want to disturb power projection by this, go for carriers, moms, titans. Just accept a mistake, accept it and step back from it.
But introducing a module that does not make sense at it's first glance is rather insulting.

Very much this.

Swapping modules is far to convenient and fast to make any of this an interesting choice. Its more like tedium tbo.

im in the wrong topic

While I can see, with the addition of low slots on freighters, this making sense; I just don't see why you would increase the amount to jump simply to decrease it again. Especially when almost every other post on the forums is asking for jumping to be harder, not easier.

It makes me think that perhaps the changes that will be done to null to make it better for everyone or harder for blue doughnut to exist, will then be changed back by adding some expensive and hard to get things that only vast mega-alliances are capable of getting in vast quantities, therefore changing nothing. I certainly hope that doesn't happen.

I also agree with the people who say make it a Freighter/Rorq only mod or rig. I read on another post about how it makes little sense that small ships take forever to travel long distances and massive slow capitals can get there instantly (which makes tons of sense) and this just seems to be ignoring that idea, which I find is a good one.

The problem with nerfing jump ranges or fuel costs is that it makes logistics a nightmare.. and EVE runs on logistics.. so give them a boost, but not the combat ships that most agree (via oodles of forum posts) need to get scaled down.

It seems logical to me.

Does this change of mind also comes with a change of volume?

everyone wants to gank travelfit carriers, please let them exchange their damage control for a fuel conversator!
