EVE General Discussion

That apostrophe rustles my jimmies.

I support EVE players considering whatever they fancy.

Delete Cynos. Reimburse the SP.

Allow capitals and supers to jump themselves.

Portals work with magic now.

Were it up to me all ships would be able to do this. Gates are a mechanic that only favors the play style of preventing others from playing the game. It's not helping to have a PVP game where everybody has to go through fatal funnels just to go anywhere (and then get told to pay for another sub to have a scout which is P2W and looks like a scam to new players).

Or ..., you could try to work together with people and use the tools at your disposal to determine wether something's camped? Nah, who'd want to play together in a MMO, right?

Cynos have ever been more of a problematic disengagement mechanic than one for engagement. In theory, a group could cast their forces far and wide to prevent capitals from escaping from a given area, but how often have you seen that actually take place? It's very impractical considering that most cynos only need to be up for a few seconds to fulfill their core function.

I'll accept the ability for capitals to rip holes in space to go whereever they wish.. so long as I can follow them. To this end, give the capital ships the ability to create K-K wormholes. Whatever the mass limit, they should have a minimum threshold time for being open, and an access range big enough to allow heavy ships to pursue.

Here's a new caveat this would introduce: No more precision cynos. That means no one step hotdrops, and no cynoing next to an engaged POS or other asset. The cyno exit would pretty much be a random point in the target solar system. Would it be broadcast system wide? I leave that as exercise for the developer.

For jump freighters, the need for precision cynos can only be addressed by jump bridges along the traditional highways. Jumping in within docking range of stations wouldn't be possible.


At the risk of digression, I'd prefer to see these difficulties revamped in a way that makes station or jump bridge environments more nuanced. I'd put them inside of deadspaces, but without acceleration gates. In this context, everyone has to slowboat. It should look rather majestic in my estimation.

Looking at you, I can only agree! :D

I dont think we should get rid of cyno alts. OR if so I want to setup Cyno mobile units that I can jump too.

But jump fatique is dumb and making owning and using caps no fun.

This idea keeps popping up but if your cap ends up somewhere in a random spot in a system, you still need an alt to scout.... So you might as well just have an alt with a cyno.

Lore-wise this sort of exists. The "Violent Wormholes" of the live event incursions were used by Sansha forces to raid systems. The wormholes were persistent during the events most of the time (though the players did mess with them). Nobody was able to use them except Sansha.


I think we will see a day when players will gain the ability to do that seeing that Sansha already can. It's only a matter of time, and the new sleeper content in known space (if we could go back to 2009 and tell people that sleepers would appear in highsec in 2014....) may lead up to that. Hit those sites and save that sleeper junk.
