Jita Park Speakers Corner

EDIT:
Base topic was only for Stain, but i think this should apply this to all NPC null space regions not having direct access to NPC low space.
Instead of normal gate, those regions will get Small gate allowing only cruisers and non capital industrial ships to pass.
This will allow migration of new groups of players to those regions, and by this new corporation and alliances can be forged easily.

Without it for most players , moving to null will be equal to joining to some older group.

Base idea below:

Hello.
CCP plans to implement grate changes to limit range and usability of jump drives.
This will affect directly Jump Freighters , limiting their range so much that Stain will be only reachable by multiple mid points in Sov Space regions.

While this impacts everyone in eve , Stain is a bit different place.
This is one of the biggest ( if not the biggest ) NPC null region.
Many small groups of people live here skilling up and having fun without the need of joining big blobs.

Stain is also home of Stainwagon, that I’m part of.
Our coalition will manage to survive cutting off from higsec.
We have dozens of jump freighter pilots, we can provide cover, we have titans to bridge freighter near higsec WH , but in the opposite, small neutral groups don't have this possibility.

They have usually 1-2 jump freighters , sometimes none , and they base on the availability of Black Frog.

Upcoming changes leave them in bad position - as they will be unable to pull any supplies, and producing most of the stuff is not possible when you have just few people in your corporation.

Those small groups started to evacuate from Stain, they pull their towers, even transfer or sell POCO.
Before changes go live , most of them will be gone - and stain will be very boring ( from my perspective ) place.

What is also alarming any new group of players will not choose Stain as their new home , because of the same reasons.
It will be hard for them to move into this region not even talking about pulling down enough supplies to compete with local people.

I think eve cannot afford to cut off so big NPC null space that was place of birth so many corporations and alliances we have now in eve.

What i am proposing :
- create new gate connection to NPC low space.

This way new people will be able to come to this region using gates, and pull down supplies without having big blue list.
From my experience this connection could be similar to one of the current JF connections:

http://evemaps.dotlan.net/jump/Anshar,444/NRT4-U:Saminer
or
http://evemaps.dotlan.net/jump/Anshar,444/NRT4-U:Efa

or something totally new , and unexpected :
TL-T9Z <-> Iwisoda ( north south bridge)
or some also very interesting
TL-T9Z <-> Reblier ( linking syndicate and stain )

Please don't make stain deserted place , and don't limit possibility for new players to build their corporations and experience without the need of big blue list.

Please support my petition.
Thank you


For those who don't know how big is stain :

+1 from me, good idea, if JF will have 5LY limitation, then new gate connection is brilliant idea.

Yes, i can hear the CCP discussion now:

"Whats that, the changes were making specifically to counter logistics and force-projection throughout null makes it a little difficult to ship mass goods into and out of far nullsec regions? Whelp, better give them all direct to high connections, completely invalidating any and all reasons for us to make this change to begin with"

Get over yourselves, really. Your supposed to be living in nullsec, act like it. Wait until AFTER the change, because in all likelihood, those couple midpoints for your jumps wont be dangerous (or at least as dangerous).

But really, just dotn make those jumps, use cloaky haulers, whatever.

Nullsec is supposed to be hard, player infrastructure and whatnot, dont see a reason for CCP to step in to personally cater to things that annoy you.

Wormholes do provide options, its a bit of a search but you only have to get there once. Noc seeding, remote acces is all on the table but to have some areas that are hard to acces in eve, and therefor maybe desolated, or for niche players isnt bad. U can get anywhere with a ceptor in eve quickly, and start a empire with nothing.

After recent announcement to bump JF range to 10 LY i still think that offering lowsec entry points for big NPC nullsec regions is good idea.

From my perspective JF having 5LY is grate idea - i fully support this.
Yet i feel that :
1 .Some eve gate connection should be limited to non capital movement
So XL size gates ( for capitals and supers) only towards nearest NPC space.

2. New gate connections to NPC Null space should be created.

Having some small remote nullsec pockets can be good :
Again small pockets like :
http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Geminate/N-K4Q0 (Society of Conscious Thought)
http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Pure_Blind/38G6-L (SOE)
http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Pure_Blind/U-7RBK (MORDUS)
http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Fountain/Phoenix (Serpentis)
should stay like they are.
They will provide place where niche players can find place to live in.

At the same time VAST null space regions like VENAL or STAIN should have new lowsec connection - perfectly "s" size , so any capital movement , including JF movement is blocked.

Those vast regions should not be hard to access by small alliances and corporations, additionally when we create north lowsec entry for STAIN , and south lowsec entry for Venal , we can have very interesting possibility for player movements.
While at the same time limiting ship class capable of moving by those gates , we will not brake any mechanic

Nullsec is for PVP.
So you think that someone will move , because "enemies will provide me ships".
Second thing , sometimes you have to pay few times more for the same stuff you can get in higsec.

People need to have supply lines , especially smaller groups.

NPC space , especially so big , should be easily accessible by new players.
