Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Ah yes but in chess, just like in Eve, even the lowly pawn in the hands of the RIGHT PLAYER can advance to become a queen in its own right.

Eve teaches hard lessons. Don't blame the game for your own failures.

Yeah speaking of hard knocks I've had my 'elitist' (your word not mine) ass handed to me plenty of times in my six years of playing.

This particular toon is more capitalist than anything else. About the only time you see polo in a stabber is when he's got it rigged up with a 100mn MWD (Talk about a recent rule change I LOVED!!!!) trying to see how fast it will go.

Polo's kind of PVP is played out in Jita and trade hubs all over the cluster. His only problem with the donut is he can't dock anywhere he wants to to buy and sell. Some days you make billions...... some days you lose billions.

My instincts for this 'travel change' are whispering "Scam!" in my ear but I have absolutely no evidence to support that.

When actually it's just 'the wrong approach' in disguise. >_>

Dear CCP fozzie,

I would like to ask you when you gonne implement the jumpfuel reduction low slot mods that you prommised a while ago.


Thanks for the 10ly !!

I believe, yes. But my vote is to keep JF jumpdistance at 5Ly. If it should be raised, then to 10 Ly. Not something in between. And again - I believe JF jumping more than 5Ly is wrong. It will make the current situation static, as corporations in many cases use JFs to import minerals available in their space or repackaged Caracals. Ship worth billions should be used for rare occasions to transport either absolute necessities or in case of extremely urgent needs, not for regular supply of huge amount of noobs with cheap ships. Caracal purchased in Branch should cost three times more than in empire, not Jita +10%.

While it may be a bigger ISK loss for those large entities, it's a far more devastating one for the small ones and a much harder one to recover from.

Smaller entities also may have no option to ever recover those assets, unlike a large entitiy that could muster the forces if the effort is needed and retake the station, or negotiate a mutual evac deal, etc.

Access to blue jump stations, a large regional market, local intel, neighbors who will help running off neuts, not to mention some of the sov structures have to be moved in real freighters, always better done with groups. If it wasn't worth it why would people pay?. Cooperative force usually trumps force by itself.

If the blocks are too big there are better ways to break them up than by hobbling the games signature ships. Force and force projection are less than 10% of the glue that holds the megacorps together. Crippling them does much more to curtail the freedom of small entities than it ever will to weaken the megacorps.

If space was an issue. But it's not. There is five, maybe TEN times as much space left in nullsec as its current population can utilize. Plenty of fleet roams still happen, and when their space is attacked they fight HARD for it. But one of the things blue space does is give players who don't want to fight all the time the freedom to do other things.

The biggest things that set the 'haves' apart from the 'have-nots' are organization, economics, and personal player freedom. When those things go away then the people, F1 alts and nullbear alts alike will just go somewhere else to play.

Every time some Warlord Willie comes through, wins sov, and proclaims local market standards, then starts telling everyone what they are going to make he always ends up angry because no one wants to play with him. Breaking the game to keep him happy won't last long. He'll just drum up another fleet of bored players and go make the same mistakes he did the first time. It's not the game's fault that he gets a steady diet of pew pew and nothing else.

We've had some renters join CFC member alliances before. Though admittedly, it would be harder for them to move their ships to their new home after the changes


Ironically, some of the alliances in some other coalition ended up giving most of their space to be rented, so they fight and are either making their money in highsec, or they're also renting from their own bloc.

I think they were hinting more along the lines of "RED PEN CTA", and not "hey there's some BL dreads to jump, join fleet"


I think there has been some reallocation that took place since then... which is what I was referring to. I might not necessarily have been referring to N3 (or maybe I was). There's only two big rental alliances in the east so take your pick, both have space that their landlord's "allies" were living in

this question may not seem to be related to the jump nerf, however I believe it is.
CCP Greyscale, has any thought been given to increasing the CPU of Player owned Towers? or a reduction of CPU usage by reactors, assembly arrays ect.?
