Exact method of corporations designating target station still being ironed out, but it will involve at the very least being able to designate a default station for all corp members, and will likely be allowed for *any* station with a corp office, regardless of system sec status.

Planned new feature to address new player movement:

For players less than thirty days old, once per player corporation joined, and
For all players, once a year

You may push a button in your corp interface (while a member of a player corp and docked) that:
- Moves your medical clone to a station designated by your corporation, and
- Automatically moves you to your medical clone

This seems to us like it solves the "I want to recruit people to nullsec" concern, and also gives non-nullsec recruiters an easier way to get genuinely new players to the right location easily.



Thoughts? Pasting this into the FAQ and also trying to get it into the blog proper.

It's going to have a significant impact, to be sure, and that's something we need to keep an eye on. At the same time, though, people built T2 ships and modules before jump freighters existed, so we're somewhat skeptical of the argument that that T2 construction is impossible without JFs.



Off BPO's when mods were 20m/unit ? lol

I believe that:

- Dreads and carriers, as lighter, less powerful ships, should not be subjected to the same level of penalty as the true behemoths of the game.
- Carriers have a unique and fairly well-balanced logistical capability, and should be allowed to maintain that capability as much as possible.
- Bridging through ships should not subject the same level of penalty as jumping - if bridging is penalized less harshly than jumping, then bridging can be used to project a light force forward, to bide time for the behemoths to get into position, and that's the way warfare should be.
- If the current iteration of the proposed changes is not tempered, the rorqual will be more useful in many combat situations than the chimera, and that's not the way EVE warfare should be.

Therefore, I propose that:
-Rather than a flat range limit for all capital ships, all (combat) capitals simply have their current maximum jump range halved.
-Mass is added as a factor in the accumulation of jump fatigue for (combat) capitals. This will affect regular capitals less than supercapitals, allowing them to be somewhat more mobile, but still significantly less so than their current state.
-Jump fatigue be greatly reduced for ships that are taking a bridge, allowing them to act as skirmish or fixing forces.

If you agree with some/all of my proposed changes, please +1, comment, etc.

This might actually get CCP more re-subs than whiners unsubbing over something which is not even set in stone yet.

Now IF CCP would also introduce a new ship like a heavy bomber/piloted fighter bomber that works pretty much like an upscaled fighterbomber already in game, i.e. very good vs supers, good vs caps, bad vs anything else to discourage the idea of nano, warp speed optimized carrier roams and camps to act as some sort of counter then these changes would actually be awesome!

Maybe cutting the JF a little slack and increasing its range a little above the others but other than that thumbs up CCP.

Remember when people played games for fun? Stop killing fun. How is making logistics harder for the people that rely on that stuff to actually have fun? No person in their right fn mind wants to do a convoy op. You people put jump freighters in the darned game specifically because escort missions are dumb and boring even when we aren't talking about eve.

How is making large sections of null sec waste lands due to logistical challenges FUN or good for Eve?

When more sections of null are miserable and deserted, who's going to be fighting out there exactly?

Why would anyone live in those crappy remote regions when the economic returns are horrible and the geography makes defense impractical?

Yippy! I can now Move around in my Rorqual with out showing up cyno of where I am going on the over view map. Ninja Mining is now more of an option!
