What you are saying is patently false. Interceptors can kite and deal DPS to ships of any size. Undocking one ship per structure will never be enough even if we assume there will be one unstoppable, uncatchable interceptor per structure. The Interceptor trolling with sovereignty components will either kite the responding 'one ship' and easily deal with it, or if the one responding ship poses a realistic threat against it, will just speed out of that grid before it can be caught.

There is absolutely nothing that an attacker needs to commit, there is zero risk that any contestant needs to take while the defender needs to commit and risk everything. Even assuming that the asset involved in contesting (Interceptor) is actually risked here, it looks ridiculous as a fitted interceptor is just a throw away ship, while gains that can be contested in sovereignty take time, a lot of collective effort and ISK to materialize.

This is why Fozzie & Co needs to wake up, stop pretending to be sociologists attempting to change human behaviour and propensity to collude and collaborate for mutual gains, and instead, smell the ashes of risk-reward balance they have burned here.

Developers need to focus on good sandbox design, not pretending to be spaceship-Marx, spaceship-Engels, spaceship-Arendt or (even though she isn't an accepted sociologist like the names I mentioned) spaceship-Rand. Human nature is what human nature has always been, a rag tag team of game developers such as yourselves are not going to change it in this game by railroading the sandbox principles and any tangible risk-reward balance that was established previously in EVE's design.

Now, any EVE player worth their salt and carefully following CCP as a company know very well that they are bleeding out subscribers (therefore, revenue) and even the Phoebe changes that were supposed to stop this bleed out did not end up alleviating it. What I'm saying here is that the development philosophy that seems to be taken up at CCP which hilariously reads out as "we will change human behaviour, we will cause more spaceships to explode over no tangible benefits to be had, and this will create new revenue for us".

Now contrary to what you guys might believe, we, the player base that actively play, invest in and influence the world of EVE are not a congregation of stupid sheep, and we will not suddenly start to spend our in-game and real-life resources for meaningless destruction and conflict for no rewards just because a developer like Fozzie and his team decided that he prefers that we should in order to make more money.

No.

An interceptor will not kite with a T1 module, as it has a limited range if it wants to put the sov module or station into reinforced, so it will need to be a T2 module and at 80m a pop that is a nice drop, in fact 20m on the T1 is not bad. For a possible 80m drop its actually a good target.

But strongly implied by:

'Low fitting requirements, uses high power slot.'

I'll also probably be quickly spinning off a discussion of the module balance surrounding the Entosis Link, since that's an area where I expect we can calm some fears relatively easily. The short version is that we have all the tools of EVE's module design at our disposal to ensure that no specific tactics get out of hand. So if problems show up in discussion and playtesting we're happy to let players try to find a counter and then relatively easily step in if that counter doesn't materialize.

Appreciate your point of view but in this case, it is the older players who have learned over years of sov grinding that this will not work as intended.
By using the "landscape of a constellation", you mean warping to nodes in different systems and reinforcing them?
Yep that will be awesome, until the cloaky camper watching the nodes for the nearest large group, reports back that you are there. Then it is only a matter of time before your little bands of frontier sov takers are mutilated by the blok neighbours who don't want you there. Or did they just bring a 100 man fleet in to destroy your 20 man gang, just because they could and they got a laugh out of it.

It is clear CCP is trying but mini games and sov is just not a good combination.

Still not said anywhere that an interceptor can fit an Entosis module

But strongly implied by:

'Low fitting requirements, uses high power slot.'
