NO MORE NEVER AGAIN WILL WE SEE THIS HAPPEN

We use gates, it doesn't take long to get where we need to be. Also don't forget, our enemies also got nerfed in this.

Great - stupid tidi battles.

My group operates in npc null. As a small noobish group, we find that jump freighters are too costly to be practical and even if we used rorquals, cynos attract too much attention upon entering lowsec. We've been relying on blops freight (Blops BS, 2 covert cyno characters and a bunch of blockade runners. This is long boring work but by bringing everyone together once a month, it can be completed in an evening, allowing our members to resume roaming, ratting, exploring, trading or whatever else catches their fancy for the rest of the month. This change would mean that our members would have to remain in staging systems for almost half of the month. Also, considering that the risk of hot drops by sov blocs will be reduced, the local alliances with a few capitals will be able to steam roll everything. The sov blocs will still be able to effectively defend their space through the use of multiple staging systems and jump clones. With capitals now able to move through gates, long term deployments can still be set up on the opposite side of the map relatively quickly, with the ability to jump clone/use near invulnerable shuttles (aka ceptors) to return to home systems quick enough to catch any timer.

In short, this nerfs most blops uses and hot drops while not meaningfully addressing power projection, effectively continuing to incentivize large blocs, crowding out small entities and making sov space safer.

To make these changes work as intended:
1. drop the capital use of gates. Capital movement should always be a strategic decision with no workaround.
2. do one of the following: lengthen jump clone cool down to one week; limit jump clones to one or two regions; give us a pos module for clone swapping (shout out to the wormhole community for this jesus feature) while removing clone jumping.
3. reduce blops/covops fatigue by 50% and blockade runner fatigue by 90%.
4. create hardcap on fatigue so jump cool down does not exceed 1 week.

looks awesome, huge change to shake up the game a bit, we will adapt of course, but it will be great to see the smaller fights, not just tidi slugfests like there is atm.

B-R and Asakai etc were amazing, once a year~ occurences but despite the whole idea of titans dying on mass, it was 21 hours of painful gameplay, clicking a button every 15 minutes with half the ships completely broken (turrets being irresponsive etc ). The normal subcap brawls are now 1000 man fights with server instability, smaller fleet fights are more fun, requires more skill by everyone.

Literally the shakeup we need in nullsec...

Initially those changes look promising.
Then what the outcome will be, is harder to tell, eve players tend to behave other ways then expected.

DONT ALOW SUPAS TO USE GATES!!!!

secondly and more important like:

dont add fatuige to Blackops jumps, there are plenty of factors that already limit Blackops fleet sizes.

just a thaught:
have jump fatuige affect where you land after a jump.

no fatuige: 0 to 5 km (like normal)
V high fatuige: 100s of KMs or even AUs from cyno
???

Who said its going to be 70 jumps?

Man, you lot are in for a shock when this hits and we still set you on fire. I'll keep my told you so warm for you.
