All of these changes could be avoided if CCP actually worked on getting rid of TiDi. TiDI is what allows these big fights to get the dog pile and allow people in the north travel to the south.

You can't physically get rid of TiDi if you are trying to allow all pilots to enter a single node (and that is a key Marketing ploy, err, feature that CCP insists on touting, even if it really is just an outright falsehood in practicality) - Server and Internet technology is not advanced enough to do that.

I dunno if anyone has actually calculated it out, but even with infinitely capable servers the speed of light limit might actually even put getting rid of TiDi as complete impossibility so long as all players are not in the same room with the servers. TiDi was a brilliant solution that at least allowed the servers to survive a node blob onslaught. Without TiDi you can kiss the server goodbye - because single shard and sandbox marketing says everyone has the right to be in that one system. I'll say it again - you cannot get rid of the need for TiDi with server changes under the current marketing of EVE.

So, given that nodes and the internet are not infinitely capable - you have to address node blobbing (nobbing anyone?) with game mechanic changes, of which this power projection nerf is a partial solution. They're about to put up the stop sign to keep one side of the server universe from nobbing the other side of the server universe on a whim. The power projection nerf is not a total fix. Whatever the complete solution is, it will have to force blob battles to spread out across multiple nodes in such a way that they do not require real time interaction between the nodes. Once you break that dependency TiDi can take a much needed holiday.

This did bring up a thought - if CCP's real intent is to kill the need for TiDi so they can use much cheaper servers.

If conversation doesn't show CCP the fools they have made of themselves perhaps low bears tears will when 50+ carriers dismantle there well formed BS gate camps.

You just know they will agro first what fools Evil

SInce I will still be subbed (annual subbing and all) when trainwrek hits, I totally have a Chimera and Phoenix that could use a fiery death...

Wormholes. Also jumping across enemy territory into quiet systems with scouts and then jumping on to the next inevitable empty system towards deep space?

Guys in null will cope, atleast the inventive non-sheep will do.

I can understand that CCP employees sometimes forget that EVE is not a full time job for everyone, but I am quite amused by number of players that treat EVE as a full time job, and expect others to do so too.

That's quite cute.

YOu see it too right? Lol

Funny thing here is that I am now training for a dread because of the changes. That's something I never expected to do..

Enjoy that training grind for Jump Cal V so you can get your way awesome 5 LY jump range m8 Lol

No problem, already there,,, Smile

And with so many apparently quitting, it only means people like me will be in higher demand. Well, at least my JF services Cool

Here I used to have a sig of our old Camper in space. Now it is disregarded as being the wrong format. Looking out the window I see one thing: Nothing wrong with the format of our Camper! Silly CCP......

Like 2 weeks before so better get ready now I suppose just encase this was patch notes and not a dev blog.

I don't even care if you kill me it's not the first carrier I will have lost when I loose it that will be 3 in 5 years still better than most combat records with capitals.

There's a juicy story there - plz do share!

I have been pressing CCP for years to get me a Megathron with a capital jump drive strapped to it so I could take a megathron on capital fleets. Now that the Moros can jump via gates its only logical that I adapt it for use in baltec fleet and possibly for cruiser gangs.

If it hasn't been said before...

A char that's been sold should either:

A. Have it's jump timer reset
or
B. The Character Bazaar char disclosures needs to be updated to require the disclosure of a timer greater then "x" days.

Also, can we these two values added to the API so we can see them out of game?

No you shouldn't be able to see them out of game.

Corp recruiters might think otherwise. It's silly to not have it on the API.

EVE: Crakwhor ? Cause anyone that's gonna sit and stay awake for that long trying to actually *use* capitals is gonna suddenly become one just to stave off the misery and bordem, let alone stay awake.

Grayscale did suggest that jump drive skills could be rebalanced. So maybe jc 5 will reduce fatigue or the timer...

I recall you at one point wrote repeatedly about wanting to have Megathron with jump drive. Connection?
