The nerfs to OP power projection benefits Providence more than any other region. Most provi pilots are happy that every bored blue donut pet can't just 3rd Party every Provibloc fight at the drop of a hat anymore, or hotdrop every ratter that dares to undock, and here you all are whining.

You do realise that in order to nerf travel time, it's actually necessary to nerf travel time right?

You're an embarrassment to your coalition, please stop posting.

Finally the EVE universe gets some scale back. Not sure whats to complain about. Back in 2006 we had warp to 10, and had to use bookmarks to get directly to gate. Jumpfreighters? Wuts that? etc

Even being able to use jumpbridges once in a while is a massive advantage. Yes you have to plan it a little better. Even scout a little!

I remember when Ricingstar built my Avatar in X6 back in the days. He solo hauled all the minerals with a bunch of freighters with jumpbridges from Esa-YMP-R3-X6 with impunity. While it made me a happy camper, it was faaaar to easy to get done.
Maybe this have something to do with the supercapital prolification in the game?
Should be easier in the future to gank us some freighters hauling in 0.0.

TLDR; Best patch in ages.

Yes, it was a POWER PROJECTION nerf.

That includes both capitals and subcapitals. Take Providence. Can do a full fleet on a normal day? 2-3 full fleets on a OMG ALL HANDS ON DECK CTA CTA. This will steamroll most groups in the game when you count out capitals.
Will you let the "AFK empires" that base out of X system/Region be able to control several regions with impunity?
"Lolz, a small group is sieging our system 2 regions away, lets form up and run the bridges". 5 minutes later you nuke those poor suckers." Doesnt sound very fair now does it?

Yes, the bigger coalitions can still field capital support, but they will actually have to think about how and when they do it.
Pre-patch you pretty much had to flip the coin wether or not the skirmish group you engage would pop a cyno if you managed to pin them down. Now the odds are; they are not.

Likewise; In Providence pre-patch, If you get a few systems in; you are pretty much guarrenteed to have people coming from every corner converging on your position within minutes=slaughter.
Post patch: Sov owners actually have to make a coherent fleet and give the hostiles a fair chance with scout usage.
Scouts pre-patch for skrimish fleets where close to worthless due to the jumpbridges. It was more a russian roulette kinda deal.

Additonally;

You got something called; Advanced Infomoph Psycology and Infomorph Synchronizing. Train them and use em.

Paper's fine, nerf rock.

Agree with other posters here that it compromises the usefulness of especially jumpbridge networks.

easy to say someone sucks when u havent read or quote it whole. i am not saying it should change , just gave a historic insights in POV, as player and provi fc, it makes my life less easy, doesnt mean it should be rolled back. U can asses if it achieves what u wanted. Its to early for that. For now i see less activity and people logging of instead of playing. I also see adapt.

Its gona be intresting to keep track of kills and logins, jb use, fuel prices and so on. I also stated WH, low sec and NPC never had a bridge. However living in null shoudl have advantages, else u can stage from high sec. Then again its more a way of live then a risk assesment. CCP does monitor so much, and making bold choices. even more so too come, u will see.boudn to be more tears.

For now i see a decrease in incomming reds too my region, more security, and a possibility to clear red assets. how this will evolve in time, remains to be seen. We do go out more, more small ship fleets to travel ground quick. PL stabbed no tank ceptors last night, hilarious btw.

also in the greater plan, noone can deny hopefully that phoebe shook things up, even when it wasnt release NULL was more alive then in ages cause of its arrival. And this is just a start, so much more too come ;)

nice to see how many jb will be anchored in a few months, how much less cap jumps, fuel price drops, and so on. Also cost price on a cyno jammer, jb, upgrades, call it dumb, i call it pov, and dont forget , there s 14 csm, with often different opiions.

I love the jump fatigue. Its great.

This power projection nerf is one of the best change ever in this game.

I agree with removing the jump fatige from jump bridges, that was an overkill thing to do. +1

guess its time to find out where Sanctuary pact lives
