You're missing the point. We decide what and where to fight when we're in interceptors. Sure, we might not get all the reinforcement timers but we're going to deny you content other than using Entosis Links.

So you're gonna provide me content by taking an interceptor roam across provi for four hours and somehow you're going to deny me content... just so I know that you know, what does my main actually do in the game that you're going to deny me of?

Just dropping by to rephrase an earlier point after having thought on it.

I am of the opinion that the Entosis modules need to be made either expensive or fitteable by BC and above, including their T2 counterparts. This is to prevent griefing by throwaway ships and fight-farming without an investment of at least a few hundred million isk.

The first way has the benefit of letting players use whatever ships they want, leaving room for crazy fits and experimentation, but has the drawback of requiring more work to make sure there aren't any edge cases where players just bypass the no-warp limitation by just burning into a new grid, and similar lunacy.

The second way would give some new life to the much underused battleship and combat battlecruiser hulls, which are in a terrible place at the moment, as evidenced by the fixed damage graph that has been making the rounds (if you need to split up cruisers into three blocks so they don't look dominating, you're doing something wrong)



Also, timers. They are way too short for occupied systems, and the fact that indy indexes are 0 on average across New Eden only makes matters worse. I live in Providence, a very populated and active region by any metric, and our indy indexes are near 0, military ones are mediocre outside of ratting pockets. For me this is not a case of "go defend you space or lose it", but a case of "all my active playing time is gonna be spent chasing off trolls from different blocs armed with sov lasers". As your numbers stand right now, it's too easy for a neverending stream of bored people to come and threaten our space and station services for little risk, and even if we kill them all, all we get are a bunch of sub-50m killmails and no time to do anything else during our primetime, while out-of-primetime pilots suffer the opposite situation.

This should be added to the new system. I like the overall plan that CCP is working towards, this adds scaling based on the size of the alliance and amount of space they would like to hold. It also clears up a lot of the complaints about having to limit alliances to a single TZ.

On another note, it's interesting to see that the loudest voices crying out against this are groups that hold huge swaths of space that sits empty 99% of the time. Considering this is exactly the problem CCP is trying to correct, the new plan appears to hit pretty close to the mark to elicit such a strong reaction.

I also love the idea of spreading a fight out over a constellation. It astounds me that people think this sounds less fun that 4000 pilots sitting in a system, at 10% TIDI, hitting F1 once every 5 minutes.

Since TCU won't have a cost attached to it, this seriously can happen. They can go around, blow up all the iHubs, plant TCUs everywhere, and force all stations into freeport mode. The fact that you think Goons aren't a threat and this is a joke shows you don't realize why small alliances don't like these changes. It supports slash and burn tactics.

See this is why I asked if they could even hazard a guess at what my mains do...do they live in provi? Maybe I'm a goon spy? Maybe I live in a wormhole...or highsec...or lowsec? I mean the threat was that they were going to deny me content yet they don't even have a clue where I live in the game, let alone what I get upto which is lolworthy especially when I know I was on their intel channels in goonspace over the last few days :D

I meant fail at denying the creation of "content", not whatever strategic objective is at play

I'm pretty sure it translates into a longer run-up time, but the same effect as subcapital Entosis after that.

Sure we need Sov changes

but

where is the risk for the attacker? this is just an annyoing system that force sov holder to constantly show up to timers just because a random pubby RFed a system just 4 fun

increase the module price up to 100m-500m or let this module only be fitted on caps or increase the timer by 3x-8x

You can't dictate a battle when you're all in ships that do <100 dps. Sure you can cyno some caps in to one or two systems at a time, maybe even try moving them through gates to assist in multiple command point fights but when you're dedicating your numbers into essentially useless combat hulls you won't be able to hold a grid to complete your RFs or captures without bringing in reinforcements in far more killable ships.
