Player Features and Ideas Discussion

You've never run the gauntlet from Wicked Creek, the Drone Regions, Venal, Tribute, etc., where you're 25 or 30 (or more) jumps to empire. For the record, it's 27 jumps from WC to empire.

Please .... if you haven't done null logistics, don't speak on it.

I think CCP played it right, dealing with cap mobility first. It was very likely the easiest task for coding also. The playerbase demanded action from CCP, and they have obliged us.
Before Phoebe, a war on two fronts was never very successful. The same caps always showed up at both objectives.
Now, the cap fleet will have to pick its engagements carefully, and is extremely unlikely they'll be able to pick more than one. That or they'll be splitting up their fleets, making them quite a bit easier to counter.

Can you reimburse the sp for jump drive calibration please? I remapped early to train for this then two weeks in, the nerf was announced :(

I have been hit by nerfs in the past and i accept them but this one in particular makes this long skill useless for me. So please, when you make this change, reimburse the sp for jump calibration.

This wouldn't be true if the sov system meant that the defender didn't have a full week to get their fleet moved from one side of their space to the other.

If you have 2 fronts, and a sov system which meant that slacking off on defending one side for 2 days meant that you lost space, then the caps could be as mobile as they want, it wouldn't help because they wouldn't be able to defend with full force in two places at once, which means they would have to split their forces.

I suspect that what we'll see is that sov won't be the main thing that'll start to be affected after Phoebe hits. There'll probably be the occasional attack, but unless there's tons of fronts at the same time, I doubt it'll make much of an impact. Time'll tell, though, and for all I know I'll be proven wrong. Nothing'll please me more if the changes Greyscale is spearheading actually does shake things up a bit, but I think the floodgates'll hit when the sov system's changed.

You haven't been a Goon long and never participated in one of their wars have you..
Either that or you are simply a hypocrite.

Goons have been ruling their part of nulsec with "most isk on field" for years

Nah, I've only been in goons, and participated in each and every war goons have been in since late 2009, what do I know?


Please, do tell me more.


Oh, really? Please, do elucidate.

yes it does if you go and read both of the statements you replied to, specifically the one that included the term "relative safety"

Yeah, me too. I trained archon to 5. This is unfair. In lieu of a SP reimbursment I will settle for one original pink megthron skin or a pony. Yeah a pony would also be cool. Perhaps a pink megthron skin with some kind of pony accents on it. Do this or else....

1; Eve hasn't really been a true sandbox for at least a couple of year now. Solo and small gang play has all but been removed and now, you are adding punitive measures to living in nulsec which will greatly effect the ability for those with limited play hours to actually play the game - Sandbox is dead.
No FC is going to time fleets or fleet movements based on those who still have fatigue because they can't be logged in 24/7 to get it down. Especially if you aren't in a mega alliance or corp where numbers on field actually matter, so for those with less time to play, the ability to play is about to be further reduced by Fatigue.
What you are saying is - If you can't be online for 12 to 14 hours a day, you can't use and form of jump ability other than gates.

2; Did you even look at average online time and how fatigue will effect players ability to play the game?

3; So the Rorqual rather than finding a niche role is, sometime in the future likely to be nerfed out of a possible role players choose for it.
What is considered "dominant" use. 10 kills a day, 50 kills a day - 3 rorquals forming a fleet 100 rorquals, maybe a gate camping rorqual that has a good run for a few months before being taken down. There are not that many rorquals around that exiting numbers would become dominant and as they have somewhat limited combat abilities and cost 3 times as much as a carrier. What would be the base line for "Dominant".
On ships performing well outside their suggested role - When will the battle venture and combat Skiff be re-balanced. Damn a few battle ventures, some combat Skiffs and a rorqual, you have a pretty good gate camp right there. Be careful not to get too many kills though, yours might be the one that proves to put the Rorqual into "Dominant" or "time to nerf" mode.

4; 5LY is not the problem - Fatigue is the problem due to "can't join fleet, too much fatigue".
Did you even bother to look at a viable slowdown mechanic that didn't involve punitive and restrictive measures on actual play time? Something that limited the ship rather than the pilot?
5LY will not break fleets up, players ability to sit in station at the same time as everyone else to reduce fatigue is what will break up fleets.

2 of 7 unsubbed, the rest over the next 2 months.

5; I've looked at how I would need to change my current style of play and it comes down to, not being able to use capital ships except for local ratting or on a gate camp close to my home system, unable to continue doing logistics and no jump bridge use at all with subcaps.
If what you consider "fun" is sitting in comms listening to others out looking for fights, then yeah eve is gonna be tons of fun for me in the future.
We are a small to medium sized blackops gang. Size depends on who is able to be online at any given time, so if you missed a couple of fleets due to time restraints on game play, you will get to sit and hear all about it, because everyone else is letting fatigue reduce so they can go do it again, so will have time to tell you about the last fleet while shooting npc's due to boredom.

There was more I wanted to comment on but - I'm just 1 person and really don't matter in the scheme of things so why waste my time

Your responses show exactly where the problem lies.
Your either playing the naive fool or are one.
