Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I did have a variation of this idea a while back but I believe that thread died.

How about a bunch of dedicated low sec systems become cyno jammed. Not systems that are essential to logistics for null sec (jump freighters etc) As I don't really want to make this a balance issue. But instead a bunch of various low sec systems around eve that become cyno jammed. So Capital or titan bridge free pvp could be had in some low sec systems.

It would be interesting to see what sort of groups or societies would form in these systems.

The effect would have to cycle every month or so because people would just build caps in these systems.

What you are looking for is incursion lowsec systems.

This idea suggests static systems. Not Incursion systems. Would be a completely different set of people to whom prefer to fly around hunting low sec incursions constantly.

And capital building would need to be made unavailable. I think a lot of newer players would appreciate being able to learn pvp in such an environment.

Oh noes, don't create a 4th class sec system, how dare you try to create content.

I jumped on it because hotdrops from powerful nullsec alliances and/or the few, supercap-capable, major pirate organizations are currently limiting the smaller lowsec Faction Warfare and pirate corps' opportunity to roam/fight in anything larger than cruisers.

Even if you're decent PVPers and willing to risk a few hundred million per ship, there's really not much you can do when all it takes is a single cyno for a bunch of caps/supercaps to crash your pew-pew party and annihilate you with 100% certainity. Deployable cyno-jammers, at best, give you time to gtfo.

Don't get me wrong, it's fine on one hand, these dudes earned their supercaps, but many of us (including, probably, several members of the aforementioned badass organizations) would enjoy more subcap fights in something bigger than cruisers.

Sure, you may be right.

But consider my variation on the idea: no fixed systems, but a cyno-jamming effect that randomly spawns in lowsec systems.

Say it lasts a day and there's a 15% chance per day, so about 1 in 6 systems will be cyno-jammed any given day. But not always the same ones.


If the system is a FW system, a militia may consider to attack it and bring out BCs/BSs for the large complexes. One day of BS brawl fun. The next day, you go pew in another system.

Or say you reinforce a POS. When it comes out of reinforcement, there's a 15% chance that it will be a no-cap fight.


It does seem a 'sloppy' idea, but I see potential nonetheless. Sometimes lowly band-aids can do miracles!

Go one step further and don't allow caps in those systems period.

The feature you're looking for already exists in factional warfare... You can install a cyno jammer there, though I have no idea about the prerequisites, nor the price of it.

That idea was scrapped (null-sec and heavy-hitting low-sec groups complained EXTRA hard about the idea).

Instead we now have a deployable that costs 30 mil to build, takes 2 minutes to anchor, and has about as much HP as a lightly tanked BS (with most of its HP being in structure so repping it is inefficient).
It is basically only useful for pre-planned POCO, POS, and HUB bashing.

I have done the wormhole thing.

I'm trying to open up a subcap only environment option. Newer players will find this a much more suitable way to venture in to pvp than getting blobbed or podded all the time and give up on it.

There are still caps in wormholes.

I remember when the test server had dedicated areas with restrictions on hull sizes. After finishing up with testing, the Free for all sub cap only zones were a hell of a lot of fun to mess around in.
