1. How about building Dyson Spheres of interdiction and DPS around the gates themselves? Probably easier to limit the number of minerals a moon can produce, and let all those POS's have a share of this whole.

2. So long as the markets stay open, I doubt too many people will care if the stations say Caldari Navy Assembly, Goonswarm, TEST, or whatever. So long as the markets stay open.
The moment those stations become closed to non-blue, or just closed to red, there'll be some complaints.
Oh, and the Goons would do that, too. Freeze out a faction until it played by Goon rules? Oh, yes. So long as they were sparing in this form of economic abuse, they'd probably even get away with it. What do _I_ care, as an NPC corp player, if TEST can't dock at JITA because the Goons want to manipulate the market, and want to freeze the second-largest supplier of something out for awhile?
I go to Wal-Mart, all the time, and see they're STILL out of a certain brand of something...but they have plenty of the store label.

2a. A classic game of low-null potentially becomes playable in high. Contract something for delivery to 4-4...then lock the doors to the contract holder.

Why has CCP decided to not allow some amount of weapon automation on these new structures? I don't really understand the rationale behind this decision.

My wish list:

1- remove the moon anchoring requirement to anchor your POS (unless you wanna moon mining ofc) and you can anchor your POS anywhere.

2- ability to hide/show my POS from overview based on provided service targeted group. Show it only to me if it's for my personal use, show to corp/ alliance if it's shared between corp/ alliance. It can be probed out if someone making an effort to track you down ofc.

3- automated defences is a must, EVE is a game you don't have to turn it into full time job to enjoy some aspects of the game.

4- Integrate an advertisement system either from the new advertisement centres or another method to advertise for a public services that Corps are providing at certain rates. Sell orders section in the forums is good but I think we prefer an ingame publishing method.

Two questions:
Placing bubbles around citadels will be allowed, yes?

Placing bubbles around citadels, which can be anchored almost anywhere and can be heavily armed, will be allowed, yes?

Bubbling Citadels would really serve no purpose but to stop defenders using anything other than ceptors, which seem to be "ship of choice" for entosis link users.

Bubble your citadel you pretty much guarantee, it is going to die as they are only useful against DPS. Which of course will not be needed to attack your citadel. ( I am still trying to work out why Citadels need guns - Nothing else to do with sov or the new structures has anything directly to do with DPS)

So yes, while stopping the use of bubbles around Citadels would be pants on head stupid - So would, in many cases, be bubbling your Citadel.

lIMO, ceptor bubble immunity needs to be looked at where Entosis links are concerned.
Maybe a bit of a drawback for the ceptor trolls - Interceptors lose bubble immunity while an Entosis link is fit to the ship.
The biggest ships in the game have a drawback to make them less effective (increase risk) in Entosis mini games, why then does the smallest (and most efficient) not have something as well?

PS; Fozzie, if one of the goals with the new sov was to reduce hours of mind numbing grinding (which I believe it was) - It is so far a resounding failure. It is often now a worse kind of grind - You can spend hours chasing around individuals with all but unstoppable interceptors trying to RF your structures.

Why I am aganist medclone/jumpclone bay in w-space:
Corp "My Knocks are Hard" and "Thundercatz" are wormhole pvp corps.

Part of their daily activities involves roams through null, pretty trying to catch every nullbear they can get their hands on.

So now we have entosis links. in about a year, we have new structures, a broke market (which means probably a broke contract system too) and you give these guys access to clones.

Lets say they are feeling frisky and want to cause a lot of nullbear grief. They set up a Blops fleet and seriously tank up their entosis links with plenty of ewar coverage, not so high on damage. Your in alliance A. You cant get enough people to stop them because they are running THAT many force multipliers (we'll say they have 14 ships. 2 are ento's and a few of the ewar ships are cyno fitted). They are rolling through your space trying to bait. reinforce after reinforce is being triggered.

Either or any of these corps has no interest in nullsov or staying their. They are jhust doing this to get fights and grief nullbears. you manage to kill one, but now they no longer have to worry about finding an entrance into thier W-space. cause you gave them med/clone bays in W-space.

This ends in three possible ways.

Option A: No one takes the bait, no blops hotdrop and either get get tired and leave, or they just steamroll and force the entire lane from their wormhole and every station in between into reinforce. Lets say they dont have a hole ending in that null, so they don't show up when out of reinforce. They didnt care about that anyhow.

Option B: someone takes the bait, hot drop and counter hotdrop: may the best side win!

Option C: (the less likely), the wormholers establish sov since they get hole (or hole close enough) for every timer. How could this happen? no ones got structures around, we would have found them and those would be dealt with before hand. But the guys we killed kept on comming back, which no one else outside the regoin could do unless they deployed their own structure. Kept it safe.. why?

Just my slant on one aspect. I am still looking forward to changes!

Please don't break null market.
Please don't break null contract system

I am sorry I can not provide a link because i honestly have forgotten where I heard this. As far as I understand outposts will not be "removed from game" as such. Once XL chateaux is a well integrated part of the game outposts will be made destructible. If your outposts are removed from game or not is therefore up to the players.

Pirate skins versions or npc corp variants like with current ship skins would be a no brainer for CCP
make a skin and maybe have traits with the skin if any?

Just be clam lots of god features will be rolling out soon eought haha...


"talks" of capital changes coming soon...
"talks" of the new stations information coming out...

One thing I would like to see is monthly updates on EVE projects seeing sneak peaks...

All structures will show on D-scan, can be probed, and will be scannable to see their fittings and contents. We are also thinking of having them visible and directly warpable from the on-board scanner to preserve Wormhole space gameplay.

That does not preserve wormhole gameplay !
At the moment finding a tower requires some skill and therefore time to find (which in fact can be an important and fight deciding factor) depending on how good you are at it which will be completly removed if those new structres will be warpable by default.
I urge you to not implement that.
And it also had value in some kind of dry run on a regulary basis in the use of the d-scan.
A much required thing to be in existance especially for corps accepting noobs to get them up to speed in using d-scan - the most important skill to have as a player in w-space !

I for one would find it a much more preferred mechanic if this structures would still be needed to be anchored at moons at least in wormhole space.
There is quite a large number of corps out there who choose their wormhole to be their home with number of existing Moons in mind. Since those are in normal circumstances the toehold of an invading force.
And removing this strategic aspect of consideration you had to take in choosing a wormhole, would render a large atm inhabitat wormholes to be vacated - increasing the demand of wormholes mostly for effect and Planetary Interaction capabilities and static. which in my opinion would be bad.
since it would contribute to homogenise selection process resulting in a few wormholes sought after and the all others to be unwanted.

Which might creat conflict - or what i believe to gonna be the case it won´t and will only result in corps moving out not willing to take part in the conquest of those wormholes.
What might be another hit for the well being of w-space.
