I love how the people crying are the ones having brought null to its current conditions.

3 words before you panic. Player made gates.


Think about that and how it will apply to this.

CCP are you F**king mad! Capitals taking gates is stupid. You will have 200man carrier roams that cannot be killed. You will have 200man smart bombing carrier gate camps that nuke anything that gets in range. This will kill the game. Big alliances will not want to deploy has it will take Hours/Days. There will never be another B-R as it will take hours to get there.

Tell me whose babies I need to have. This is amazing. Finally a chance to shake up nullsec for the smaller fish in the pond using proper guerrilla tactics.


Except, the big fish will just install a capital fleet in every region, ready to use whenever they need it, the large coalitions/alliances have enough capital (hah, punn) to simply put 500 dreads and carriers in every single low/sec/npc null in eve.

the "smaller fish" won't afford that, so they will still be hell-camped.


So the smaller fish will only have to deal with 500 caps rather than the entire supercap + capfleet. Sounds more manageable to me.



who other then the CFC and NC can field 500 subcaps?


Dunno. But remember that if they do field their 500 man fleet they will be more vulnerable at the other end of their (renter) empire.

This introduces the prospect of Ghost fleets to the game Big smile

Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person."

CCP 2013-2014 making changes to kill the game,

1. This will kill cap use
2. Do you know how many people are already unsubbing?
3. Thanks for making blackops useless with this

Enjoy losing more than half your players ccp you deserve it.


That's okay more people will join because the game won't be a stagnant and boring, we are back to 2008 numbers of people online.

The F1 monkeys don't create content, they log in to jump to a cyno and press F1 who cares if you go away, people will be allowed to play the game without being dropped by "no fun allowed" nullbears. LolLolLol

Yeah it sucks. But luckily they aren't changing the range for them.


Its not about range its about the fact if I drop a set of bombers on my target using a covert bridge, I can't make more than one round trip, to a target and back home to staging point before there is a significant delay. The bombers get the delay too because they use the jump portal.

If CCP will apply these changes, i'll cancel all my subsciprions, and i'm sure thousands of people will do the same.
It woun't be a game i'd like to pay for.

I foresee the rise of the capital ship ferry alt. That is, an alt who's only reason for existing is to ferry a cap ship closer to its destination. Each Ferry alt will only jump the ship twice, then hop out to make room for the next ferry alt. And so on until the ship gets to its last jump. Then the actual main pilot, the one with the skills needed to use the ship effectively, gets in. No one ever acquires a large fatigue level, so travel is only slowed a little.

Also, as these ferry alts continue to skill up, I foresee them being left at the sites of ship caches, so the player need not move anything, neither ship or pilot, to project power. All they need to is log into the proper alt.

Pretty much this as well.

I personally have 7 carrier capable pilots and they can all fly multiple races. Rich people like me can simply place them at strategic mids and then hand them off ala pony express and thus be completely unaffected.

so basically, the big blobs won't be as effected.

good job CCP Pirate

So cynojammers are nerfed too? Now you can just jump your caps through the gate.

To all you nullsec cap droppers that are complaining... take a moment to really consider what this will do to eve.

Finally space will be vast again. No instantly dropping all your caps anywhere you wish. There will be a greater emphasis on strategy and teamplay rather than the current drop on any group smaller than you play.

I applaud CCP for having the courage to make a major change like this. I have been playing since 2010 and have been waiting the whole time for nullsec to get shaken up.

Any subs you may loose from this you will gain 10X more new players and corporations that finally have a chance to carve out a chunk of null for themselves instead of being forced to rent.

Changes like this hurt newbies -- both individual players and organisations -- a lot harder than veterans.

Anyone who wishes to can get around these changes by flying interceptors for inter-regional travel, except newbies who don't have it trained. Anyone who wishes to can get around these changes by purchasing more jump freighter alts, except newbies who cannot afford them. Anyone who wises to can get around these changes by staging capitals and/or capital alts in multiple systems, except newbies who cannot afford them. And so on.

Make no mistake: while everyone will suffer somewhat through blanket changes like this it is the established organisations and wealthy players who will suffer the least. Deklein and the rest of the West become nearly unassailable under these changes, especially to small groups hoping to hotdrop or ninja siege. My only regret is for the newbie joining the game from SA who now must figure out more complex mechanics than "set you clone to Deklein and kill yourself" to join his space friends.
