Put your fleet on the other side of the bubbled gate and wait for them. Place Inties and T3s to catch and pod scouts...

I just saw your announcement.

Arche Age Download 7 %.

If they leave that door open we might see a lot of switching to blops capable things for fighting.

You could reduce the jump fatigue timer by 50%


you know 1 + (Light years * 0.50)

Also the jump range should be 7.5 light years.

This will stll greatly nerf power projection but still make capitals useful.

Honestly this feels really bad. "Jump fatigue"? machines don't get tired...

Artificial limits on a mechanic like this feels very tacked on. It just feels bad.

The mechanics should be emergent, not forced (i know, kinda contradictory...).

My armchair-game-dev idea:

Make it so that there's only one gate in each system. Allow all ships to gate-jump to any other gate within the ships range. Gate-jumping like this would take time and not instant. We would see the stars move around just like an interplanetary jump with the planets with a regular warp drive.

Things affecting jumps:

• Ship Role. A venture will have a small range while an Atron might have the highest gate-jump range of frigates.
• Fittings. Equipment or rigs that can alter the gate-jump range or speed of a ship.
• Fuel - "ammo" for the engine. Higher meta level fuel costs more and is more efficient.
• Ship's jump speed - jumping across the stars takes time. Each ship would have its own jump speed across the stars so i you want a mobile fleet you will bring certain ships over others.

This way capital ships would have longer ranges by naturally having bigger fuel reserves (and consuming more ofc). Frigates would be much faster than capitals because of much higher jump acceleration during short jumps.

I say make the changes Devs, It the only way you will learn the outcome.
If you not listening to the community results are catastrophic.
End of discussion.

Well done CCP, well done.

You should be winning the award for 'how to **** off your playerbase (again)' award next year. congratz.

Have you paid someone to come up with these silly ideas?

This will nerf JFs making it unbearable and a complete pain in the backside to supply large chunks of null.

Some people log in to for a short period of time just to have a bit of fun. If the majority of that time is now taken up by jumping why bother playing?

Capitals using gates....just dumb. People have not been crying to use the gates so why change something that does not need changing? Yes force projection needs adjusting but not to the stupid levels you are suggesting.

But hey ccp, u gotta pay ur devs to come up with 'bright ideas'.

I am not sure how to feel about this, at all. I normally welcome change to the game, however this seems to be one of those things that will hurt the game more than it will help. Perhaps there is a better way to tackle this issue?

Jump range changes to 5ly I agree with, this will make travel more difficult, and it also makes holding outrageous amounts of space impossible... good luck charging rent on the other side of eve.

Allowing Caps to use Star gates? Good. I agree with this as well.

Cool down timers on jumps to reduce the number of jumps a player can make in a week, that also end up being incremental over time? - no, this is the part that I think goes too far. I understand the need to change how jumps work, and to make hot-drops less effective and not be as common a tactic, but this goes too far. Compensating is good, but overcompensating is not. Perhaps the Jump Drive should initiate a combat timer instead, preventing the ship from docking or using a stargate for one minute. This would mean you need to cap-bost in between jumps or keep your JD Capable ship in space for 1 minute.

In addition to the Combat timer, perhaps a cool-down should also be applied to Region jumps, similar to jumping through the same wormhole twice, to reduce the amount of long distance travel and hot dropping. a kind of "Hull Polarizing Effect" that prevents you from jumping with your Jump Drive out of Sinq-Liason for a certain amount of time (30 Minutes? 10 Minutes?) thus making region based attacks easier, but Long distance travel more difficult. To me it makes sense, different regions having different effects on your ships hull and navigation system… a navigation recalibration timer for region jumps may also benefit slightly.

I also agree with some of the other people on the forums, an increase to Nullsec would be another fix, especially with the JD range changes.

As for the clone changes? About damn time.

Came for the tears.

Not disappointed.
