EVE Information Portal

Apart from the GIF, which was poor judgement on the part of CCP in my view Alliances should CSM this one as failure to engage with this proposal is the players only true defense.

Alliances should drop all Sov return to Empire and simply make the game unplayable by camping all trade hubs 'Burn it all' as one of my members just put it to me as in his view with the travel restrictions as they currently are hitting player behavior so severely, investing time and money owning Sov anywhere is going to be a worthless exercise for any Alliance and untenable for most Corporations.

The own nothing, build nothing, plan nothing state this will generate flies directly in the face of the EVE ethos and achieves the console gamer ideal state, Log in, blow everything up, get blown up, log off again, That is going to get very old...VERY quickly.

I think the idea was that when the Entosis link is active you would become ewar immune similar to how you are in triage/siege/bastion.

Looks like a well thought out plan to me. Gratz CCP !

Will bring combat back to nullsec on a gigantic scale. Love it !

the short answer is that there is no incentive to hold space in this model - it's just too easy for anyone to take it from you. you invest in your space in any way and someone will squash it for funsies. it's insanely overpowered from the attack side, and my guess is that the design team at no point considered "well, why are people going to be here to be attacked in the first place?"

i am sure that the response will be "well someone else will move in!". but then we'll squash them for funsies from either our fortress region or our new home in lowsec because null just isn't worth the effort.

you cannot just make sand castles insanely easy to kick over when there's no motivation to have them. what will happen is nullsec will quickly devolve into an orgy of destruction, which will be used to justify this bad design through ~statistics~ with nary a thought of what happens once that orgy of destruction finishes. that orgy of destruction will only be possible because of the years of sand castles built up under previous systems, and once those are all gone, there won't be any more. but by that point we will have a dev blog full of cherry-picked statistics about how much of a success this is and then years of stagnation that are ignored

well, guess i'll have some fun in the upcoming orgy at the end of the world~~~

that's probably the case if it's literally disallows remote assistance as it likely uses the same code :)

Must say this new systems looks nice and new sov system will make lot of have fun pew pew! nice job ccp!
Few things I would like to maybe change on this idea is fact you place to much on IHUB and not lot of the TCU.

I was hoping the TCU would effect the strategic index levels. Since you place the 25% fuel saving with the TCU.
Let TCU control the strategic index levels for the STARBASES.
Let the IHUB control the upgrades for system.
Station is worth on it's own!

Can use gates

6 Years too late, and it will probably take another 4 or 5 before before all the Tech-Isk-Poison is out of the system.

Long live the Greyscale!

BPC only from drifters?

"Incentives? What are those?"
