Great change, CCP.

-Now I can sit my carrier on a POS edge, rep it, and be even more immune to getting dropped on.
-If my fleet is bubble inside a tower, I can no longer run outside and cyno in reinforcements; I'll be dead long before I clear a 25km zone of hatred.
-Pretty much anything shooting/repping a pos short of dreads/triage is immune to being killed. Can't wait to have my towers reinforced EVERY SINGLE DAY.


This does not even make sense. A long point on a super goes 30km before links and fighters nowadays dunk subcaps like crazy. You can still dunk on noobs in bombers or oracles or w/e. Please, feel free to sit your carrier on the edge of the pos shield and be "invulnerable" Lol . A hic point is 24km? so even that should be fine to just light a cyno, have a hic jump in and mwd for 2seconds at a bad-guy shooting your pos in a titan or something ********. Your whole post makes no sense.



a full skilled hic pilot got 36km point range. with skills to lvl 4 Graviton Physics and Hic you are looking at 28.8km. Means you actually have to train them skills to 4 on your suicide hic pilots. and i dont know where you guys get your numbers from.

that's an issue with fighters, not with the cynos being limited to 25k min

Also, towers RFed every single day? abloobloobloo, a justified nerf to your massive pos network

The PL alt tears are so tasty.

Perhaps a simple logic test ... if toon = owner of tower activate cynogen within 25km ... if not FOFO 25km you go.

Fozzie, why can't you just avoid the sphere edge (dealing with radians and sin/cosin isn't really taxing max) and make sure the server pics a spawn point from the FF that is further modified by the size of the ship being spawned?

You'll then guarantee that an object spawning on a POS FF will not intersect with the FF's sphere.

Conducted some thread cleansing. Please keep the discussion on-topic, productive, and respectful. Please discontinue the rule violations. Thanks.

2. Be respectful toward others at all times.

The purpose of the EVE Online forums is to provide a platform for exchange of ideas, and a venue for the discussion of EVE Online. Occasionally there will be conflicts that arise when people voice opinions. Forum users are expected to be courteous when disagreeing with others.

5. Trolling is prohibited.

Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive, and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.

6. Racism and discrimination are prohibited.

Racism, gender stereotyping, hate speech, and sexism are not permitted on the EVE Online Forums. Derogatory posting that includes race, religion or sexual preference based personal attacks and trolling can result in immediate suspension of forum posting privileges.

23. Post constructively.

Negative feedback can be very useful to further improve EVE Online provided that it is presented in a civil and factual manner. All users are encouraged to honestly express their feelings regarding EVE Online and how it can be improved. Posts that are non-constructive, insulting or in breach of the rules will be deleted regardless of how valid the ideas behind them may be. Users are also reminded that posting with a lack of content also constitutes non-constructive posting.

27. Off-topic posting is prohibited.

Off-topic posting is permitted within reason, as sometimes a single comment may color or lighten the tone of discussion. However, excessive posting of off-topic remarks in an attempt to derail a thread may result in the thread being locked, or a forum warning being issued to the off-topic poster.

Coming from an alt LOL

Good change. There is no reason to permit them as close as they are at present, save to tiptoe around POS bumping exploits.

One of ours, ten of theirs.

Best Meltdown Ever.

Why not just have it so nothing that jumps in can spawn within 25km of a POS shield? Wouldn't that be simpler, and not have all the negatives associated with effectively turning every single POS in EVE into a ((shield radius + 25km) * 2) diameter cyno inhibitor?



quoting so CCP doesnt miss this

make it so that you can cyno within 25km but anything that jumps in will have to spawn at 25km away from the force field

Terrible change.

It's arbitrary and bad mechanics. A bandaid on a problem that really only affects that 1%. How about taking it back to the drawing board and seeing if you can't come up with a solution that doesn't affect ALL of null sec just to fix a problem that really only is an issue for a small minority of the players.

Honestly, how long will you let super caps define the play of the entire null sec population? Isn't it time to stop catering to them? Fix the problem, but don't go creating a whole laundry list of issues in the process. Surely, you guys can fix an exploit without resorting to a sledge hammer in the process...

further from the shield of invincibility is definitely the right direction

It affects me. Am I part of the 1%?

Oh god why am I posting on eve-o.

CCP are forbidding cynos to be lit in the 25km radius rather than simply moving the cyno spawn point as it's way more intuitive. Don't worry, I'm sure people new to/bad at capitals will die in many other ways.

If the PL guys are sure this will result in you killing way fewer caps/supers, best to take it to Reddit or somewhere else where you can link mails and form a coherent argument. I'm not seeing it right now, but I'm sure as hell not the expert.

Since that carrier that was already hugging the shields, can simply burn right in when the cyno goes up in a matter of a few seconds, unless you light the cyno with a long range web ship, which would then need a faction disruptor to prevent the ship from just jumping out before the super gets in to tackle it.
