How is it a bad one. Transit for subcaps is more difficult because they cannot solely rely on jump bridges to traverse great spances of space, bypassing gate camps. (such as the Enormous One that was on an almost constant basis by Afterlife on SV5-8N/Hed-GP gate). The benefit, is that hot drops and backup for those gate camps are not as available (so you can break them up in organized escorts and groups). There is no need for the jump bridge to get around your own space because there is less worry of being completely obliterated by a much escalating group. They run as much risk as you do setting up that gate camp as you do running it. With that said, call to arms will go out, people will figure out how to get from one point to another in your system. For those across the ways, they may... oh log on another character, or jump clone to the beachhead, or find some other way of getting to and fro instead of relying solely on a jump bridge network.

The functionality of sov is changing, and it is coming all the way down to what people protect, where they go, and what they do.

In other words.. you cannot own everywhere and get to anywhere you want in a flash anymore without incurring some sort of penalty. The people at the forefront in the staging system may have to fend for themselves for the time being until everybody gets there. It happens. Dog-piles won't work because you really won't know whose on cool down and who is not. If you truly want everybody at one point in space at a specific time for whatever reason, you'll have to travel that space together, and not rely on instant teleportation to get there.

It is weird to advocate that jump bridge networks should also hold this same cooldown, but the concept of this whole thing is to localize fights and not to be so outplayed because the defenders have a network of reaching every system they own in moments, in volume, with no method of slowing them down or stopping them.

Medic : You are also ugly!

Sure people will own the space they live in, and it will be beyond painful to try to remove them. Stagnation on steroids.

Oh I wont be giving them up, the monkfish will simply be my ship for baltec fleet.

You might be able to increase your costs due the extra work and effort involved in moving.
That extra effort and work is something that also effects the players who want to move the stuff, the increased hassle is the same for them as it is for you, and you can rightly increase your prices to adjust for this.
And these players wanting to move stuff would rightly pay more for the service, because the amount of work involved is the same in both cases. I think?

EVE online, where your misstake will be painfull. Adapt or die and all that stuff...

i don't understand why this is needed. When i recruited noobs i picked them up at the tutorial systems. Flew them around and showed them a few basics.

so why can't a recruiter pick them up from the tutorial systems once a week in a little noob fleet and fly them to their new home? We have WHs and everything. getting into null is easy.

Except that using gates is suicide unless you are in a fleet. Sorry, I am not jumping my jump freighter repeatedly through low sec gates. That would just be idiotic. The ability to use a jump drive to move large amounts and high value goods is essential to this game.

Usually I'm against any sort of poorly thought out changes.
Much to my pleasant surprise, while these changes are not perfect, they are the kickstart that 0.0 revamp needs.
Admittedly, these changes hit my cap-heavy, mobility-abusing alliance harder than others.
Doesn't matter, I say, it will be for the best.

That will support even fewer players than the ****** anoms do now..
