Can supers use gates after this change?
Yes.

Does this make it too difficult for new pilots to get out into 0.0?
Yes, it probably does. Following further discussion after publishing this dev blog, we have come up with the following additional feature:

For players less than thirty days old, once per player corporation joined, or
For all players greater than thirty days old, once per year:

You may push a button in your corp interface (while a member of a player corp and docked) that:
• Moves your medical clone to a station designated by your corporation, and
• Then moves you to the (new) station containing your medical clone

Exact method of corporations designating target station still being ironed out, but it will involve at the very least being able to designate a default station for all corp members, and will likely be allowed for *any* station with a corp office, regardless of system sec status. This seems to us like it solves the "I want to recruit people to Nullsec" concern, and also gives non-Nullsec recruiters an easier way to get genuinely new players to the right location easily.


Is the balance for Black Ops final?
No. Please give feedback!

Very large fatigue values will take a loooong time to decay, is this too much?
Possibly yes, we'll have a look at this.

Does a titan providing a bridge gain fatigue when people jump through it?
No. Only if the titan itself jumps.

Is the ability to push your fatigue up to really high numbers a good idea?
Probably not, no. We're looking at just capping fatigue at like 1 month or something.

Is today April 1? Capitals taking gates? Jump fatigue? These are some of the worst ideas.

How is a stagnant nullsec going to be fixed by making things take even longer than they do already? How does that make any sense at all?

Absolutely terrible.

I'm glad to see rorquals and JFs being less affected by jump fatigue. I was already preparing to harness lots of separate JF pilots to resume logistics as usual, having predicted a system that involved adding artificial limits to the number of jumps you can perform in a given time period (I mean, what other options were feasible?) but easing the fatigue for them obviates this plan somewhat.

A little of the reasoning, as far as I'm aware:

While big fights are nice and all, the ability to hot drop someone on the other side of New Eden leads to people avoiding fights, so they don't get dropped by, say, PL being bat phoned.

Guys, it is October 1st, not April 1st.

Have you considered the rather long distances between regions? I haven't actually checked the numbers, but I can imagine some regions being nigh impossible to assault, just because no capital ships can actually jump far enough to reach them, or can only reach one or two systems.

e: can caps even reach the drone regions via jump drives after this change?

Show me some maths...

Will jumping a capital into a fight for something like a 5 minute triage cycle now ground you in that system unable to get out agin (baring a gate, which is almost certainly suicide).

I also feel that such a significant reduction in range is, as usual, going to hurt the smaller guys who are reliant on individual carriers bringing their ships in and out. I've lost count of the amount of jumps I've done in my time just moving my corps / alliances ships back and forth from low to null.... and usually can't afford or protect extensive cyno chains in between.

Is this 5 LY before or after JDC V?

I also think that anything that involves timers is going to be hugely impacted by TIDI at the destination system.

bwhahahah I can hear the cries of the cap pilots

Why tell about this now and not 1 week before the change? What is different in here as compared to the language channels situation?

As a now casual player, i will be moving all my capitals to lowsec, selling them off, giving my isk to my friends, and quitting the game, because a change like this is the straw that breaks this camels back and stops him from returning to the game.


If you want smaller battles, or less travel, reduce the number of ships or mass that can be used with a cyno. This change limits the small players more than the large players. Coalitions have the time to travel across the galaxy to get to a large fight becasue the TIDI!!!!

20 mins to get across the galaxy is nothing when the system you're trying to get to is under 10% tidi....
