Will cyno jammers stop caps jumping in through your gate?


Nope, that's what bubbles are for.




So you will be retiring cyno jammers from the game as they are now useless ?

Yes - a move that constitutes travelling roughly 1/3 of the way across the entire Eve 'Universe'.

Gosh, Eve got big again…. Oh noes.

well.

I am pleased, after Incursions are pretty crappy atm I'm looking forward to safely ratting in 10 multiboxed Wyverns.
Time for the iskprinting. Oh, while we're on it, could I get shortcuts for the different dronegroups? would increase the payout a lot.

I have a couple of concerns about roaming capital ship fleets.

Carriers and Supercarriers can refit, in space, on demand

Carrier based doctrines will be able to easily switch their fits on the fly, between powerful damage setups and fast gate to gate travel. Carriers and supercarriers will actually be able to be frighteningly fast.

With high grade Ascendancies, this Nyx can warp at 4.2 AUs/second, and can enter warp in 10 seconds by pulsing the MWD for one cycle. If the ship is in any real danger, emergency jumping remains an option, and when working in tandem, they can refit on the fly to more survivable setups.

Ordinary carriers have the same capacity for high speed (as fast as Battleships into warp, as fast as cruisers while in warp) troublemaking. Being able to fly from stargate to stargate and refit while in space to any configuration at any time seems to be a little too powerful.


Am I correct when I say that players will be able to set their clone location to their starting system, no matter what?

So far the only thing that has crashed sub numbers in this game is caused by a giant blue donut..... But yeah, i guess goons feel the need to blame ccp for that one as well.

Not a single **** was given to the ammount of goon tears in here.


Just to point out, this change just gave us a huge advantage.

So you basically kill capitals in terms of PVP (which would require movement)? They might be still ok for PVE though - I give you that

By doing so you are about to reme a big chunk of the goals someone can have in eve? - who the hell wants a cap then?
You might realize that the is a undeniable possibility that the lack of goals will keeps people from logging in/paying for a game.

As far as I understood your attempt also was to back-up the position of smaller entities in the game? No-one will dare to move more then 5ly out of lowsec then and even if - logistics will be a nightmare you need armies of cyno-chars and lots of time for boring logistic tasks.


nicely done

But now there is an increased susceptibility of them to subcaps- being permabumped when attempting to align to the next gate as an example. If supers traveling via gates should be possible if not preferred, then should they not also now have means to defend themselves?


As I mentioned earlier, there are solutions to this already, and I'm sure people will figure them out.

Lemme guess - you expect people to web supers into warp...?

People argued that method with a passion int all the freighter ganging threads so yeah

I guess this one went over your head, seeing as a CCP dev made himself into a laughing stock for suggesting just this.

Eve is NOT your epeen meter. Eve is NOT about instant force projection, unabated losses without risk, rental empires without effort. Eve is supposed to BE harsh! So for all of you spoiled space brats crying that clawed to the top to sit fat and lazy upon your throne of untold billions and capital toys to only one day find that you don't control anything, that the environment and harshness of New Eden is coming back to kick you in the ass I say good riddance!

CCP don't you DARE back down or give into the kicking and screaming of those who are now afraid.

Who's afraid? Star Citizen isn't scary at all!


If we reach 150 million in donations we'll increase the jump range of capitals by ONE light year!

Hopefully this gets rid of a large portion of the risk averse babbies in huge blue blocs and makes room for people that actually make use of 0.0 for combat more than just to get rich and be boring.

Well, I have to say, I'm not a big fan.

I simply don't have the time to dedicate to playing as much as I used to, and if it is going to take hours to move around stuff, I'm probably not going to be interested.
