All I can say I am glad I stopped training for a capitals, why would anybody in there right mind train for capitals now, this sounds to me to be a well thought out plan...... Suppose to be one of the steps to opening up Nullsec Sov to eveyone- not sure about this one CCP, the power blocks will simple camp the regional gates into Nullsec so anything larger then a ceptor is toast. There is nothing in this change that will shift the balance of power back to the little man.

(Are you really going to take a titan through a stargate....... Please, titans are so heavily watch by spies and intel groups that minute it is out of a POS halve of eve knows about it)

Concentrate more on fixing/improving the Nullsec Sov Mechanic, then limiting the travel. CCP have been talking for 12+ months on Nullsec Sov with nothing to show for it. All this change is going to do is deter anyone from wanting to even try and take sov of a system, it will basically require the commitment of fleets and resources for long durations with no hope for reinforcement when required, hence needing a massive alliance base to draw from (another kick in the guts for little guy). If you want Nullsec to be for the massive alliance then come out and say it and stop frigg'in around by suggesting otherwise.

I have seen and heard nothing from CCP that is making me think that all these changes are nothing more then to help the current large sov holding alliances, if I was them I would rubbing my hands together think we are getting even more control and reducing our risk.

The current travel changes is like taking 22 gauge shot gun to a carnival duck shooting game, (way over the top), and what do you get... a big pile of mess that no-one else can or wants to play. Throwing the kitchen sink at the problem will only drive players into other areas or even out of the game, as seen by previous changes which has screwed the game is so many ways i.e. nullified ceptors where I can travel through 35 nullsec system in less then 20 minutes with absolutely no risk of getting caught and as a result makes gatecamps and/or gate bubbling useless for system protection. We have already seen players evac equipment and ships (Caps, Supercaps and Titans) from nullsec from the day the devblog was opened, only leaving enough equipment to continue making isk and requiring one logistics run to get everything out once the patch hits.

Start with some small changes for goodness sake and ramp them up, starting huge and say will can dial them back later, is like shutting the gate after the horse has bolted - the damage is already done.

At the moment massive amounts of area is held by a relative few without any work at all. This is what needs to be fixed immediately, when you can hold sov over 100+ systems without ever leaving lowsec is the problem and really does CCP think that these type of sov holders care about the jump mechanics - I highly doubt they do.

But it will stop one thing dead in it's tracks..... no more the massive supercap fights, so could a B-R outbreak ever happen again? Not under this mechanic..... CCP wants to open the game up to more small to medium size fights without the worry about capitals blobbing, I am all for this, however what CCP are doing here is not the answer.

As for the timer, the mathematics on this is ridiculous.... you should never let computer programmers work out mathematically equations they have no idea of the concept of creating mathematically models. Einstein was once asked what was the greatest force in nature, he reply Gravity and Compounding interest...... he would add Eve Jump Fatigue Timers if he was still around. Anyone that is for the jump timer as it stands and claims that it is OK for something to day 3-4 days instead of 1 are probably not the ones that are spending that time waiting.

It always makes me laugh listen to CCP carry on about wanting to improve the game and listening to the players..... This post will prove that they don't care about anything you have to say..... I have no idea what CSM does or it's job because it appears they are not doing a very good one at convincing CCP on anything and it just for show me that much like any government around the world.... CCP pretends to listen and does the total opposite, the only difference with governments they only usually get 3-4 years to stuff everyone around...... I wonder what would happen if a vote was to be had on whether or not some of these game producers should be in-charge, I am betting they're glad they there isn't.

CCP keeps talking about the grand plan...... announce these plans at least in concept to put players concerns to rest... it is frustrating players re-adjusting training schedules, strategic plans based on something happen now only to find out that in 6 weeks it was for nothing, at least in the old release system you had 6 months of enjoyment before getting screwed over again. Making a CCP Webvision station and continually saying that it is part of a bigger picture is simply crap, I say that to my employees when I have no idea what we are doing next. Maybe if the players understood the end goal you would not be getting the backlash that you are seeing here. Maybe CCP has no idea on how to fix the SOV problem - maybe this is where the real problem is.

So my Vote on this Changes as it sits is...... -1: I hope CCP is listening to the community because this one is a real balls up.

Fix Nullsec: Behead the renter cattle.

Do you really need everything spoon-fed? Let it join your logistics operation which has to cross these choke points anyway.

To be clear, I found that in a google search, while looking for past CCP Greyscale quotes.

So my hands are clean.
