Can CCP just give a clear yes/no on whether or not eviscerating the Black Ops fleet doctrine is intended? I've trained 3 accounts specifically to support running and doing the logistics for these fleets.

I don't want to waste my time/breath if the black ops drop is being mechanically removed from the game.

remember, if you don't like the null sec changes, why not try wormholes

I facepalmed consistently while reading this entire thing. So instead of making it rather difficult to respond should space come under attack by foreign forces, you make it take literally hours.

Currently, YA0 to F2O is 57ly, according to dotlan. This route would take... hours.

Also don't just say it like "poof jump fatigue exists now" make some bullshit but thought out excuse like "the wormhole generated by Jump Drives has become less stable as of late, due to heavy previous use"

or some bullshit like that.



This got saved as a draft, and I meant to post it like an hour ago. Since then, I have done some thinking and came up with the idea of:

"Safe" Jumping - your new system, minus taking hours to get places (nerf, but not a catastrophic nerf)
"Dangerous" Jumping - ignore the safety protocols on your jump drive (while still taking longer, mind you) but jump anyway after a moderate delay, with the risk of heavily damaging your ship in ways that cannot be repaired via RR easily.

Example:

Screw it, I wanna go from Tasiy to the ass end of Delve!

Distance: 57.372LY
Jumps: 4
Topes: 50k (with JFC4)

The first jump is free of any negative effects because it is a "safe" jump under your new rules.
The second jump is a 3/10 on the "danger" scale, capacitor regen is reduced by a certain %, making the next jump take even longer.
The third jump is a 7/10 on the scale, your capacitor regen is reduced by over half, you become unable to be remote assisted, all HP on the ship is lowered by a certain %

The fourth jump is a catastrophic strain on your jump drive, disabling it entirely for up to X amount of time, the scale is at 10/10, your capacitor regeneration is almost nothing, you cannot be remote repped, your guns/drones underperform, your scan resolution is dampened, your ship HP has been damaged to a near critical degree from the jump drive's meltdown, and you are unable to move, as your propulsion systems have long shut down to provide energy to the Jump Drive.

There is no fifth jump, not until the damage from the first 4 has cooled down to a minimum, and your ship can sustain another pull.


Why? When a capital ship jumps, it creates a small wormhole and squeezes itself through, same as jump portals and stargates. But as of late, the heavy uses of the first two examples have put a strain on the fabric of EVE, thus creating the "safe" jump guidelines.


CCP, this game is about Risk V. Reward, with your current proposed system, there is no risk and there is no reward. What I have outlined is a significant amount of risk, but with the reward of getting to the system in mind a fair bit quicker, but not without its own consequences. This suggestion is EVE-esque, and affects coalitions alike.


Also, your nerf to medical clones has the massive consequence of further stagnating null recruitment by not letting new recruits deathclone to the "home space" this is a terrible idea.


EDIT: someone just pointed out the fact that I didn't address the jump range nerf, and it would be more like 12 midpoints to do this. So don't nerf jump ranges, if you pay heed to my suggestion at all.

retardation at his best here ... really low sec doomsday? so messing with lowsec to help 0.0retards?

or you could just :

Reduce titan bridge range
Reduce numbers /mass of ships per bridge....
Titan bridge only if titan more than 50km from station/stargate/Pos...
And for null sec make stations destructible !!! and make dynamic stellar systems ( the star would eventually die someday) and the planets /moons with it.
( you solve 2 problems at once , moon goo dispersion, and renting.

The problems in low sec are mostly the guns on stargates /stations ( i get it for stations but why guns on stargate?

Make FW missions /anomalies only doable in cruisers+size ships and for fw plexes ... remove novices and small plex and let only cruiser size and BC size and BS+ size plex.

And most important thing Reduce or remove titan bridge in low sec (departure and arrival)

But please not this !! you will only allow nullsec blocks to come in lowsec with 5 titans and rollover the place

obligatory stuff request

Aww shut up, you bunch of dinguses-

What ever happened to HTFU?

free junk is free junk. i ain't picky.

Stupid changes, and all because of stupid people. You could be using the range you have now to hunt the big bad nullsec entities, but instead you want it handed to you.

That cannot be it. When wormholes inhabitants were 'crying' they were called dirty carebears and to adapt sooo...

Adapt

On more serious note, when anyone talks about fixing null and low very often force projecton comes to mind. It is brave change and I hope it will work.

Greyscale started it.
