EVE General Discussion

I don't think anyone's complaining about not being able to defend their space. Sure, a single trollceptor is easy to drive away. It's actually not that hard to defend sov now, given the numbers and activity. The issue is, that it's fairly annoying and not very entertaining.

Ok. So I'm not in this mess but I have an idea to bounce off those that are.

What if;

1 make the link not fit on a ceptor. This will make pilots that want to attack a system be more dedicated to the cause and cuts out trolling. Gives defenders and attackers more options

2. Make it so reinforcing nodes takes more than one link. Maybe 5 or so.
If an attacker or defender cannot dedicate five ships to the cause, then they deserve to loose.


This will reduce the ammount of trolls and make attacking a system more tactical and less lol

AND WHERE WAS THE FUN BEFORE? BEcause clearly by all researchs that CCP made poeopel were NOT FINDING fun at all to stay docked to deny content. ANd that was the MAJOR tactic in dominion sov.


Face it, in dominion 90% of time you did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. MOst allainces even did nto expect epopel to log in, the Idea was to eventaullly call them trough a PING!!!

Fozziesov is pvp the same way killing farmers in fw is pvp. Repetitive, boring, pointless. When your enemies have an endless supply of cheap throw away ships, where is the meaning in the combat?

More to the point, now that it seems clear foziesov is not evejesus, what's next? I predict that ccp continues to dumb down the game in a continuing effort to appeal to new players while aggravating old players, which causes a continuing trickle of old players to leave the game which is not counter balanced by any significant numbers of new players. In other words, the slow burn continues.

Aren't entosis links like 20m? Are people entosising you on a regular basis in Condors and ventures? If so, I have a Crusader interceptor pilot I would love to put in your corp and farm these guys. Unlike FW they can't warp out when I warp in, and I get a huge bonus for kiling them

Edit: Entosis links are currently 34m in Jita. So if I kill 1 farmer/trollcondor every 20 minutes I'm getting comparative income to null ratting. Except I can null rat between trollceptor attacks....

The numbers just get mcuh happier if they bring a T2 entosis.

My signature points to a different approach.
I think Fozzie's team approached the problem from the wrong direction. Instead of trying to smash apart the coalitions, they could have enabled other groups to grow big enough to actually challenge them for their space.

(Also, Supers and Titans are so common that they could just be heavily nerfed across the board. Less damage output, less need for high eHP structures and less boredom for sub-caps)

my opinion is changes is good

thanks for listening

Simple. Only the best organized and managed entities can survive being big for any appreciable amount of time. There aren't that many people who have the motivation and ability to actually make this sort of thing happen; I believe CCP calls them enablers in their power-point speak. Get more enablers to care about sov if you want to create more, bigger entities. Chances are though, anyone showing promise will find a better deal working for one of the established entities, unless she or he is exceptionally motivated....and currently there's nothing even remotely appealing about sov, at least from my perspective.

It has often been pondered if one were to replay the past 450 million years, if we would end up with a very similar world in terms of the same critters evolving. It has also been pondered, with a more concrete and defensible conclusion, if you reset New Eden, what would happen? Names may be slightly different, but chances are the same personalities and same organizations would rise to, and hold on to power, simply by virtue of the strength of their organizational tools, as those are the primary reason things grow and prosper at that scale. Chance doesn't really play into it that much.

It's not a thing that can be entirely remedied by game mechanics. It's not so much that you cant physically or militarily beat one of of the established entities - far more doable in FozzieSov than it was before. You are also fighting their decade of experience running an alliance/coalition, which is why no new large entities really manifest often, or at least one factor.

Have YOU tried becoming the change it looks like you want to see?

Trollsov is the greatest update that really shakes up null...

By the way, we're starting up our program of cooperative coprosperity, check "Sell Orders" subforum for details. Really shaken up null is available...

i wonder what it would be like if instead of command nodes appearing it was instead facilities in districts on the planets, maybe even get those dust bunnies involved somehow
