Someone probably mentioned this before...

CCP please don't make new jump drive changes nightmare for logistic/industiral operations. EvE is already feels like second job so please don't make it more time consuming when it comes to using jump freighters and rorquals.

Hows about a chance for a ship to pop on bridge or jump.

Words like the worm hole become unstable and ur ship droped out of warp.

Or a chance that the ship can drop out of warp falling out of the worm hole. and landing at some system randomly along the jump line.

Those big fights need to stop. They are a flawless demonstration of why I said fleets move too quickly. With so many reinforcements able to hit the field before a fleet of the size of the one that instigated B-R can decisively win how can you justify starting a fight where you risk you heavy assets? Unless you are so super space rich that nearly any loss is trivial assuming you don't care about the morale loss. It's hardly a wonder why the null sec coalitions are on such good terms given that kind of threat.

What I meant with stagnation resulting from movement being too slow is that these changes will make it nearly impossible to attack anyone who is farther than one jump from your home system especially if one jump is 5ly MAX. Meaning you will have to completely redeploy to fight a war, leaving yourself completely vulnerable to anyone else as it will take you all day and then some to respond to anyone attacking your home. In that case you can't risk fighting a campaign because it will involve dropping you pants to allow you to bend over far enough to reach anyone else. There are few who can resist such temptation. EDIT: I should add here anticipating the "use the gate" response that camping a gate with a large enough force allows you to kill them with TiDi and camping choke systems is not difficult to do, jump drives should provide a meaningful means of circumventing such a defense.

Fleets need to be slowed down but it can not be done in such a heavy handed way. The sweet spot for the speed of fleet movement will be very much like walking on a knife edge but we must find a way to do it.

The FC is ever going to jump a fleet of capitals in a system that is heavily defended, gates bubbled and with no way of extracting.

Well, considering the fact that we're hopefully going towards a sov system where multiple daily fights are in order, not one huge fight every week like we're seeing now, this scenario's not going to be that big of a problem. If you've got enough force, go through, if not, go back to harassing them some more or see if you can't get down that jammer so you can set things up more to your liking.

lmao

No, I exhale experience in living in nullsec, owning capitals and generally being fairly active there. These are things you don't have so you're unlikely to do anything but grrr goon.

If you can't see the immediate problem, you probably shouldn't be commenting in a thread like this.

Tell you what.. after this change go and attack Deklein and tell me how it s goes :)

Nah, force projection was always needed. It's too easy to go from one end of the universe to the other with a mass of ships. It's still going to be pretty easy to fly interceptors back and forth and leave ships dotted about all over, but at least it will require travelling rather than sitting on a titan. Occupancy sov without force projection changes would be a recipe for disaster, since it wouldn't stop larger group jumping half way across the map to nuke someone and jumping back at a moments notice. With these changes you'll have to at least partially commit to it.

Let me guess, you're one of those who actually either want 4k fights, or you want to be able to hotdrop everyone from across the map whenever there's a chance of getting anything even remotely juicy. Right?
