EVE Information Portal

After waiting for 23.5 minutes at the convenient local station, his fatigue is down to 119.79. He jumps again, to 2R-CRW – 4.9 LY. At this point his cooldown timer is 2 hours 2 minutes 8 seconds, and his fatigue is 706.74. At this point his total distance travelled is 17.51 LY, leaving him with 37.04 LY to go. He looks at his map, and finds a 40-route jump through nullsec to get to the same destination, and figuring two minutes per system, his warp travel time for the whole journey is a bit over half the cooldown for his next jump. He decides to quit eve and then kill himself.

I mean if CCP just want's to kill the game and move on to other projects they could just shut down the servers and move on. No point in killing this game so slowly.

Having thought this through, it's clear three aspects of this were very poorly thought out and I suspect shoveled in at the last minute:

1) Jump bridges causing jump shock: this doesn't make sense in the overwhelming majority of situations as it's a massive nerf to basic jump bridge use by subcaps in routine situations. It adds nothing and is a pain in the ass for subcaps with no corresponding benefit (and a nerf to basic industrial activity). I assume you can still keep the code in that caps can't use it - great, keep em out, and you've fixed the potential use of those to short-circuit the range restrictions on capitals. I see no benefit here to making the game actually better by subjecting subcaps to jump shock. Titan bridges - eh, I can see the value, but I am not sure enough thought has been put into it and that thought should be put into it and a clear explanation given of the goals.

2) It seems like you've massively nerfed rorqual/jump freighter range, without offering a good reason why. It doesn't make jump freighters any more vulnerable (just more of a pain in the ass), and it just makes basic tower fueling logistics more of a pain in the ass. These were special-cased from the fatigue, and should be special-cased from the range as well. They do not allow you to offensively deploy in the sort of way that has caused power projection issues.

3) Killing pod-jumping is a giant, giant change that makes the game worse for everyone. I mean everyone, from the rawest dirt-scratching peasant in highsec mining veldspar all the way to me. It makes it impossible to go get skills easily, it makes it impossible for newbies to join their corp, it makes it impossible to decide to leave a warzone, it is a massive change and it seems to have not been thought through. Instead, this seems to me like someone thought of an issue (dread caches, not as big an issue as you think) and put in the first fix they thought of.

Oh my god, what an awful idea.

I was going to list a bunch of reasons why this implementation is a bad idea, but :CCP:.

lol and shame on you ! Ive just reactivated my Acc and there goes my Nidhogur, damn CCP, YOU CAN!

Sold!

Having dozens of alts rather than supers seems like a wise investment now.

Love the lowsec DD addition. Caps through gates is going to be diabolically funny, already looking forward to that. Re clone jump timers, a vicinity based cooldown would be preferable to allow people to still use their implant specific clones reasonably quickly provided they aren't too spread out.

Good luck with the incoming 'feedback' monsoon, I'm already laughing my head off at the responses. Hopefully we'll see multiple 'proclamations' being issued in response, bahaha. Anyway, well played for hitting the biggest issue first. If the moaning gets too much reduce the LY range again.

I don't even live in nullsec any more and I'm skeptical.

+1 to the clone changes though. People in nullsec have the opportunity to make incredible piles of isk while AFK.....the least they can do is fly somewhere when they want to slap somebody down with their economic advantage.

Are you out of your mind, CCP? Do you want to kill off a large chunk of your playerbase?

So, people are gonna breed "jump alts" to move their caps and seed them around the galaxy... they jump it 2-3 times, then the next alt takes over the ship, while the actual combat pilot is having a sandwich and then jumpcloning to the meeting point to do the final jump and the kill / grind

If I'm reading the changes right and I'm pretty sure I am, this completely destroys the black ops fleet doctrine. After the first BLOPS drop and the return trip you are essentially done. They need to exclude blacks ops portals and drives from this as, whats the point of black ops at all if you can't bridge and jump?

THIS CHANGE DOESN'T AFFECT JUST THE SHIPS WITH JUMP DRIVES. Ships being bridged are affected too!
"Every time you use any jump drive, jump bridge or jump portal you will accumulate jump fatigue."

first jump - 1 minute, plus 4.85 minutes for the distance travelled, for a total of 5.85 minutes, or 5 minutes 51 seconds. He also gains a jump fatigue value of 5.85. - This gets a BLOPS fleet TO the fight.

second jump - In this time his jump fatigue decays down to 5.27. He then makes his next jump – 3.57 LY to LEK-N5. He gets a 5 minute 16 second jump cooldown timer - BLOPS fleet make it home

third jump - He waits out his timer, which also reduces his fatigue to 23.53. third jump.He gains a jump cooldown timer of 23 minutes 32 seconds, and his fatigue is multiplied by 5.19, up to 122.14.

These are all distances that are within reason for a BLOPS fleet.
