Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Perhaps... i just like the idea of 1. Making capitals integration into the new system and requirements of all ship classes to do a full capture. That way to conquer something it needs more than just one ship type. I am thinking something similar to fw plexes but with elinks instead and since no jump gates need different ship sizes... i am good either way i think though my idea would provide more diversity

Hold on, so to capture some backwater, -0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 sec almost-abandoned system in the middle of nowhere, which has, lets say two belts, no good moons at all - An Official Ceremony must be Conducted, involving HIS MAJESTY the CAPITAL SHIP with a magic wand sitting at some structure for X minutes, with tumbleweed rolling around all the while.

People say, "Get rekt" in such cases, but that wouldn't be korrekt. vOv Yeah, that will bring out real dynamic content and more players into Niul and throughout the game, surely.

Now, it does make sense. Let the people who want those V V V core system entertain their Capital Phantasies, allowing the majority of Eve engage in competitive, ruthless and unpredictable* PvP in the mid-tier developed... Shall we say - lucrative pieces of pie? Yes.

*As opposed to, "Will they escalate with 1 mouse click?" FLOWCHART GOES -> Yes/No -> No -> Team 1 Wins. \o/



P.S. When do we deploy to NOL-? Ohhhhh... is it the wrong timeline? Actors may change, but the concept of a full circle stays the same. You know who you are.

iam probably missing something, but whats the point of having 1stront activation cost? smalles ships will be able to run it 30-50 or more times, so its as goot as no cost at all...

You missed the part where I lived for years in Eve's shittiest corner of Sov space (Cobalt Edge) as part of IRC. But don't let your failure to check character history stop you from making baseless accusations.

Only thing better than old sckool irc was classic frege. Man do i miss those days

well i apologise that i didnt recognise that you spent from the 19th of feb 2011 to the 10th of september 2012 in sov nullsec space. if you consider that time period to be years (plural) then i guess you can when rounding the time up to 1 significant figure. but from my understanding you've spent far more time out of sov nullsec then inside it, especially in terms of your most recent time in the game.

if you feel your views are more applicable because you view your time in IRC was akin to being enslaved in the worst part of nullsec and doing such penance means you feel entitled that your view is worth more than others dealing with sov nullsec currently then theres nothing much i can say to change how you feel, but i hope some objectivity might give you perspective.

Consider that although dominion sov hasn't changed much at all in the years it had been introduced, the strategic game and the tools and techniques both mechanically in game and psychologically outside and running parallel to the game have advanced tenfold, it is essential to consider all aspects of these when thinking critically about the mechanics of the entosis links. Striking a balance so that it is challenging for both sides of equal mass skill and resources is i believe where ccp wants it to be.

basically please try to be objective if you want to add to the debate, cause saying things like "i dont care, let all sov nullsec burn" is not helpful in trying to shape a good balanced system, and people like myself will retort in kind.

Best bait ever, the kind you can't ignore.

Except the same applies to any BS with a decent ammo loadout and 10 cycles is, with a T2 link, 18 minutes of capture assuming you aren't interrupted in any way, and for the actual contest over the structure (as opposed to the initial reinforcement) you're looking at *at least* 10 of these timers to burn down.

The fuel shouldn't be a significant impediment to capturing a system, but it should be there and be something you have to deal with because it mitigates some potentially problematic tactics, and if a fight goes on long enough then supply chains and other factors come into play in a big way.

Hope the cargo crew is up to game.

"which container has the Strontium, we need it ASAP!"
"Uhhhh, I think this one. Here, take it quick."
*empties container into module fuel port*
"Wait does that say 'Exotic Dancers' on the side?"
