i'm sure pmchem is doing the same for GARPA.

Stockholm Syndrome is bad - please have checked

Cry babies are out in force.

Oh no, this won't do what's it intended to do. Umm, no, you'll still be able to drop anywhere. Idiots.

Which is *why* it won't do what it's intended to do... precisely because trying @#$@ capitals to fix something that won't be fixed is BAD game design!

CSM and 0.0 leaders idea and CCP Greyscales response. Make EVE better crushing one bad idea at a time.

They haven't removed it at all. Reduced it drastically, but not removed it. This isn't as binary as you make it out to be.

Goons etc claiming this will make them untouchable.

I doubt it, more likely the threat comes from within. Those who do the work now need to do allot more work all of the suddon. But more over you need to keep your f1 monkeys entertained. F1 monkeys have a need for instant action/satisfaction that will leave a void.

Nothing worse then bored f1 warriors turning on renters and even each other. Sure i won't start off right away or the month after the changes. But eventually the cracks will show. Local warlords are bound to spring up within ranks. smelling weaknes and taking power for themselves.

Where do i get my wild claimes from? .... From history.

Ok thats good.. one of your allies in Dek needs help defending.. How long will it take you to get a capital fleet there to assist?
Can you help with logistics - all their logistics pilots are burnt due to fatigue and can't move for the next 3 or 4 days.

Hmm Branch to Dek, in a carrier - currently a few hours once you have cynos in place. Post patch, 3 maybe 4 days (remembering you will now have to make 4X the amount of jumps).
Same will go for Branch - You need help your only option is your blue neighbors and if Branch is being invaded then your neighbors already have problems of their own and won't be able to assist you. Forget the "CFC" coming to your aide, your too far away.

Ok I agree, force projection wasn't removed but in fact reduced - Reduced to the point where the only entity you as an alliance can rely on is yourselves. The CFC will survive for the sole purpose of -- Who wants red neighbors..


PS; Branch is already made up of lots of small group of miners, ratters and manufacturers.. This will only encourage them to shrink further into their little corner of space.

Oh and it means reinforcements can't just jump into system as soon as they are in range, it forces them to go gate to gate, which if you bubble successfully can really slow the opposition down even more giving you more time to kill whats fighting in the cyno jammed system or evacuate your own ships before the reinforcements wipe the field

Currently 4 hours? Try 10 minutes. And even slow-boating there it will only take about an hour or two. Same goes for the enemy. They won't just suddenly show up from halfway across the cluster with every super cap and capital in tow. And that's what makes some systems even closer to each other now. Assuming the goon plan of caching ships doesn't work out there is still a network that can reasonably follow up against escalation. If you can't handle it call your neighbors. If they can't they'll call their neighbors. It will keep going until either one side declares a win or other forces come into play elsewhere. Our allies down in vale (or renters) may call on us if they get overwhelmed and we have options on how to assist, instead of just showing up at a single focal point. The thing this patch will do most is increase importance of terrain strategically.

And branch just went from isolated to isolated. Only thing we really have to be concerned about on a regular basis is wormholes and ceptor gangs.
