Nope, that is a fleet traveling long distances with no drawback, which is power projection pure and simple.

BY your same token, jumping to beacons should accrue any fatty gay either then

a lot of people for and against any changes to the jump range/fatigue,so many pros and cons to it depending on were you live in eve.and main objections to changing it is due to power projection,so would it not be a better method of dealing with the power houses and not taking it out on the ships or the ships abilities

would removal of standings help.disband the power houses and lets get some killing in on all sides allow only one blue and one red the rest of the universe is nuetral

long live NBSI


further more as it was just pointed out to me to stop them forming mass alliances cap amounts allowed in corps and alliances to a max of 5000

I know i missed the cutoff but here goes.

Major problems with phoebe
1) Effectively removed what many players view as end game material. Causing many to unsub.
2) Made eve a bigger place by reducing the ability to travel, due to less players playing this is a force multiplier for stagnation.

Major Problems with eve as a whole

1) New players so far behind an aging playerbase, skillpoints being the biggest and hardest thing to overcome; core skills are the biggest problem with getting newer players to play the game and stick with it. There's well over a year's worth of training for core skills. I define core skills as anything you train that has a passive effect not on a specific item. Its a long list of skills and a lot of skillpoints, for my characters I wouldn't care if I got a refund on them, but for lower SP characters they probably would. It is such a massive amount of skillpoints to refund that it should be done @ 1-2mil sp refunded per month and the skill then being a permanent passive or rolled into the base stats of everything it effected. This is to prevent the majority of the playerbase from having ~20+ million unallocated skillpoints.

2) Fozziesov turned sov warfare into a war of attrition to maintain your sov by opening up the ability for completely un-interested parties to troll sov owners. Not only is the concept of the entosis link terrible, the multinode system is bad. This is because it promotes small fights with annoying ships, not real combat. Battleships and above have basically been made useless by this. I really don't have a solution for this, other than come to some sort of middle ground between dominion sov and fozziesov. Bring back SBU's and structure grinding, but keep the indexes and have them modify the hitpoints/resists of structures and the SBU online time.

Judging by http://eve-offline.net/?server=tranquility we're back to mid 2007 login numbers, eve has had a very rough past year in this regard. To deny that in its current state eve is dieing would be foolish.

Holy Autocorrect, Batman! :)

And there's a case to be made of exactly that: That fleets jumping to beacons aren't projecting power, they're moving around in areas you already hold. In fact, there's more of a case there, because my carrier can't jump to an ally's beacon, no matter what their standings are... rather like entosising. It just doesn't work.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that jump bridges etc don't make it a lot easier to hold a Coalition together - but at this point, I think it should be pretty clear they're not the defining tool for Power Projection that Greyscale seemed to think they were, and his own statements indicated that you were supposed to be able to move around your own space.

So why not ADM 'em? Reduce fatigue for using a JB or jump drive (but not a titan bridge) based on friendly ADM. If we're supposed to be able to move around our own space, let us move around our own space.

All capital ships would literally reduce your chances of defending to zero vs small none hit-able ships.


1)
Next they will be further reducing ship loss for anything sub capital. This will allow them to reduce capital ships in game by attrition, as people will prefer flying ships they cannot lose. Nullsec was an excellent use case test for this customer behavior.

2)
Then, they will make capital ship blueprints hard to research and buy. Further reducing capitals in game.

3)
It's important that we don't panic. CCP has great plans for capitals ships.

I don't know if you know but:
5x penalty to Entosis Link cycle time

For all capitals, that gives you enough time to jump in your capitals with 15 au range and kill them.
And try to hit a ceptor with moros if you can.

Of course it's not possible, that makes dreads obsolete if you wanna kill a ceptor entosisin™

:) THIS!
I often wondered why they punish players who spent a great deal of isk and over a year of skill training. Add up the isk and time spent with those skills, then put in a pile and burn it. *I think a great deal of capital pilots felt the punishment (nerf) was a little severe.
Yes there was a problem with power projection, not enough of it :)
Would any military industry nerf their weapons/ships. Odd how the game logic is not following RL experiences (in a real sandbox the ships that do not preform as well as others would be upgraded as well) not nerfed.
