Even with the bonus on the Jumpfreighters and Rorquals jump fatigue, i think this cutting into the logistics hugely cause of the reduction to 5LJs.

This means additional cyno spots, cyno chars. So where a single person could do the logistics and transports before, you now need several people to get this going.

If you own all this space, it may be no trouble as you can fly the cyno char through gates to the next system and open the next cyno. But if you don't what then? Moving a warfleet with several people being part of it is one thing. But moving ships like JFs or Rorquals was usually a "1 man show". So limiting their jumpange will severly limit their usability. If it stays to a 1 man show, the JF can only move on to the next system every 19-24 hours, when the cyno char can jumpclone to the next cyno spot. So a route that could be done in a single jump in very short amout of time before, now suddenly needs a complete day or even longer if you need several jumps?


The "warfare" part of those changes may be great to change the power projection, yet the changes to the "civilian" sector of this are horrible.


What if you give the JFs and Rorqual a role bonus of a hugely improved jump distance instead? So they can jump the same distances as before, or maybe even further? So you may have a huge jump fatigue afterwards, but can shrug it off as you reach your goal in a single jump and can wait it out there? Or a combination of both.. improved range, and reduced fatigue, trying to balance it out in a good way?

Small gangs of carriers? Gate-camping with intel channels, awesome idea. Yes you're fine, there won't certainly be a group of guys who'd want and be able to drop on your butts with a few dreads or supers. It's not impossible to drop on guys, just needs more planning and organization.

We're in the age of "don't undock unless you got supers on standby to counterdrop" - I rather see caps used as often as BS and die more often than continue playing boring online. Please just biomass your character, it'll be fun to see you guys around here in a few weeks after your supposedly "unsubbing".

There's a lot of potential fun here to be had, so why not try and discuss with devs on a more "sensible" basis about tweaking the weaknesses of it?

The RL truckers dealing with those laws aren't doing logistic work? You will either spread the load more onto more player to do logistic work or lose player because you are starving at the end of a small logistical chain until your current setup can keep up. The people sharing the load the best will be able to keep themself at a higher level than those who rely on too few dudes.

That's the thing that i find most exasperating here. It's not 'nullies' that will feel pain. As I said in that post, well established groups are in the BEST position to survive radical change. It's everyone else that isn't. The 'independents' in npc null are getting the mega shaft , for example.

You're literally celebrating a situation that will most likely lead to the rich getting richer, the established groups being able to gain MORE control, and higher prices for things you use (and OMG don't even get started on PLEX as alliances start to subsidize multiple character training in order to 'lengthen' their span of control counter to what these long distance jump changes expect).

Til someone comes through any of the dozens of WHs within 5LY and cynos in on top of them yes.
