Now these changes are going to be awesome!

The only problem I see is there is little new to complain about for the next 600 odd pages.

I really dont like changes you are planning (jump fatigue and capitals) and my corp members neither. A few of us already said that if u release these changes they will stop playing. If my friends leave, i have no reason to continue playing. And I think there will be more like us. These changes makes no sense.

Please listen to your community and don´t screw EVE even more.

Fly safe, Cam

While I am one of the people who understands what you are trying to do and want you to improve the player experience, especially in null sec, I think the degree of these changes is a little harsh. The equation specifics make the use of capitals too restrictive. I do agree that stopping capitals from jumping across the cluster in 10 minutes needs to be exacted, but preventing capitals from jumping across the cluster in a week is a bit much. In fact, I don't think jump fatigue should last more than a week at the very most. Anything more is punitive. Some of us use carriers simply as suitcases that never see battle. Others use jump freighters to move large amounts of good from Jita to the fringes, and even with the reduced range effects, it will make it difficult to maintain the markets outside of Empire space.

I would suggest scaling back the numbers in the equations a bit and imposing a hard limit on fatigue. I understand that some at CCP would be happy to see ships, like Supercapitals, be basically grounded to a single system or region, but then what's the point of having a Supercapital? They should be strategic assets, not beached whales. My last suggestion is to remove jump fatigue. or severely limit it. from jump bridges. If you make sure that capitals can't use jump bridges, then they would only be useful for the movement of subcap fleets, and I think we would like to encourage subcap fleets over capital ones. The mechanics of jump bridging already require you to go through stargates, if you want to take several bridges to get to a destination. At the most, put a limit on the number of ships that can go through a jump bridge per minute, so as to prevent blobbing.

These seem like reasonable first-changes to make to a system. If further tweaking is required, then that can be done in future patches. However, going too far and then trying to scale back would be not only detrimental and quite shocking to the player base but would be harder to pull off.

I am as sad panda about these revisions as I was about the announcement.

Welcome to SUB CAPS Online. The only MMO-game in the 21st century where useless Capital ships were "designed" to create game timers in large groups for people who have nothing better to do with their days....

In the example posted here http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/long-distance-travel-changes-inbound/?_ga=1.34303975.776383066.1396348573 you write "After waiting for 23.5 minutes at the convenient local station, his fatigue is down to 119.79. He jumps again, to 2R-CRW – 4.9 LY. At this point his cooldown timer is 2 hours 2 minutes 8 seconds, and his fatigue is 706.74. At this point his total distance travelled is 17.51 LY, leaving him with 37.04 LY to go. He looks at his map, and finds a 40-route jump through nullsec to get to the same destination, and figuring two minutes per system, his warp travel time for the whole journey is a bit over half the cooldown for his next jump. He decides to fly there directly rather than trying to jump any further."

If you really think I (or the rest of eve community) will gatejump any our capitals 40 jumps in nullsec you are insane..
I will quit eve long before I even consider doing this. And I will not wait days of week to complete the trip either!!!
I understand the need to nerf combat capital ship movments, but I need to be able to use it for logistic purposes also.

I do not know if the math behind all the different spreadsheets available online are correct, but if you look at this example https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IjH2JyeTd0suTC43REymnoiD2TF70HxbkRWqNtJjqds/edit?pli=1#gid=0
I clearly see that it need to be a upper limit on how much fatigue you gain and accelerate the rate it is reducing with!

I'm ok with having to sit in station for some time, even a few hours after some jumps but there need to be a upper limit. This is a game. it's suppose to be fun, but with those changes its nothing even close to fun if you need or want to move your capital.

For PVP purposes again, yes I understand the need to nerf them, but if a single pilot is trying to help his corp moving assets and ships safely into or out of nullsec it will be close to impossible

Please consider at least a upper limit on the cooldown that enable a capital pilot to still enjoy the game.

CCP can see beyond the threats as the actual unsubscribe buttons are being clicked. They can see that my accounts have been unsubscribed already. This is the "straw" for me. I have given suggestions, but if they fall on deaf ears, then so be it: capital jump drive, capital micro warp drive, capital neut to name a few of the suggestions above.

And if you want my stuff, just send me 10 mil. I may return back to Eve if I hear of some dramatic shift of balance, but I won't be paying nearly as much attention and it will probably take a lot to catch my attention after I am gone.

As I said, just send me 10 million. idiot.

Good work CCP

nice change for sure stands to sense

makes flying caps more real waiting for the jump drive to power up before you can jump and it stands to sense.

We are SOOOOO CLOSE to reaching 9000 replies. Please, can we get a little bit more rage directed here before we all switch to the new thread? The person with response number 9001 can win eve if they make an over 9000 joke in the middle of their rant. Just sayin.

But wait, it gets better, not only should you build every little thing (and export moon materials to high sec for the high sec industry, always feed highsec) BUT

you should freighter convoy it.
