So what you are saying is that you dont have anyone else doing some of the "workload", see you are playing eve wrong. if you do 8 hours logistics, why dont you do something fun instead? Like RvB fleets! Let someone competent do the not so fun things as you say it.

And yes, goons for example have a T1 doctrine they fly, so NULL will use T1 more, NULL will adopt. And logistics should be "per player" and not loaded to someone alone for the whole 10k Players allinace, because see whats the point in not having fun in EVE. If you dont have fun, as I said before, you are doing it wrong.

1) for 1, i think that restrictions to the reach of capitals is good. the example of "Bobby tables" in the dev blog means with any activation of a cap going out for a long walk, will effectively restrict it to a somewhat 3 jump affair. its like converting it into a chess piece on a chess board with a range of 3 squares a day. i hope DEV will be considering upping the firepower balance when the "restrictions" come into play as mobility is reduced.

BUT ... why not just introduce a new skill to train? instead of going thru all these 5LY maths with alot of trailing decimals, do a space-jump-ologic skill. max number of jumps a capital can do in 24 hours is 2 for any pilot, after each jump is a mandatory 10min CD (cumulative effects applies from previous jump). so 2nd jump = 10x10 = 100 minutes CD. jump-ologic skill reduces the base fatiqued time by 1 minute per level, AND, at level 3, adds 1 more jump extension, at level 5 adds the 4th jump extension. so if the pilot uses all 4 jumps at max skill he gives himself the 24hr limit cd PLUS the fatique cd (5x5x5x5). JF etc cap ships negates these effects completely.

2) by enabling use of normal gates, cap ships will just become like the usual roam group, going from system to system, it will become the NEW NORM of power reaching extension in a different way. it defeats the purpose of jump-fatique mechanics ENTIRELY, SO the use of GATES should NOT BE in play at the SAME time IF the pilot is able to JUMP.

i propose the DEV consider an EITHER/OR mechanism. a CAP ship is either in jump mode OR gate mode, switching over to either mode is a 24hour cd penalty, and the ship has to be docked to do the switch. (of course non-combat cap ships escape this limitation). look at it this way, maybe DEV will extend this into a MODULE item, you either arm your ship to gate travel or jump travel. JF-ish ships are armed to do both, maybe combat vessels require an extra lo-slot module?

3) i think in addition to the above mechanics, the DEV should also consider a JUMPING countdown timer related to total mass (with the usual jump fatique-ish multiplier advantage for JF/Rorq). DEV could probably insert the mechanics for normal warp alignment to this, ie : the ship aligns before being able to execute jump (and therefore can be interrupted mid-way of alignment). and by this, the graphic department can come up with a new (literally) blinding JUMP effect, the after shock of jumping, creates a few seconds of electronic paralysis in a 50km radius ! (<--- now this, a new use of jump after effect as combat strategy could be fun) ... now for this shock wave, i will be happy if the radius is calculated with decimals according to the ship total mass.

i am curious how many hours of testing is done before a real patch? 10 days ?

edit : while many have said, good luck warping around caps thru heavily bubbled gates. in this change if cap ships do use gates effectively, i dont think they are suppose to travel alone. like a normal US carrier fleet on the ocean, the carrier MUST have support ships. then again, multiboxers will be quite happy to warp 50 caps around gate to gate. who the heck can effectively gate camp a large fleet popping up like that? in fact, if caps use gates, gate camps will be forced to use other tactics, gate camping WITH cap ships waiting on station !

You lost. they havent won. See the difference.
Btw. can i have your stuff?

Welcome to buying overpriced spaceships in null by buying more plex from CCP. Because logistics will become a real nightmare. Fun to see how few see that this is the real target, and how many idiots like Massadeath think CCP gave them the keys to the kingdom. CCP, i tought i saw most of the stupid things ever already. It's just proven i was wrong. Well, it's not stupid, it's just bad intended towards players and their RL wallets. But betting on people's addiction on a game to get money, if you remove most of the fun they get by playing, it's a really stupid move. This to use a "light" qualificative for your RL jewing abilities.

I am having fun with what remains of my week after logistics is done. After this change, logistics will never be done. I can adapt by finding about 7 other players who each have 4+ accounts (or they'd be overloaded), but if I had that many players who have that many accounts I would not be one of the smaller groups this change is supposed to be helping.

I love the tears of angry giants.

I play eve for the big fights. Now they will be so rare :(

I will laugh my ass off when the "angry giants" will start manipulating your plex prices. I suggest u get a good washing machine, u'll have a lot of dirty underwear to take care of.
