Nullsec is pretty much completely devoid of content, no one is going to invade anyone because who wants to play Sov mining, and less and less alliances are even bothering to defend space when some randomer decides to toss it, because again sov just isn't worth the ballache of this mechanic.


yeah, and before fozziesov there were sov wars left right and center, right? Roll



More than there is or will be now yeah.

No ones saying nullsec wasn't stale, but if you think this is the solution to reinvigorate it then you're a bit of an idiot.

if you think there were more wars before you are delusional. the last major war ended almost 2 years ago.

it ended with leadership of those involved being completely burnt out and woving not to have another war ever again until sov is fixed. since then only some local conflicts happened, which still continue to happen after fozziesov.

oh i would call your skirmish with goons a sov war, if you didn't call it goodfites yourself

I can't believe that ANY null sec dwelling player/corp/alliance/coalition likes FozzieSov, or finds it generates content in anyway, in fact I'm pretty sure they don't.

Yo Tish, I’m really happy for you, Imma let you finish but I had fun with Fozzy sov last two or so weeks!

But since the local enemy is defeated you might be right: There will be not much content, at least not that ~local conflict between small entities~ kind of content Fozzy sov was advertised with. :)

Exactly the same leadership, now rejuvenated, said - I quote - "F*CK F*ZZIE"
Edit: this is not my opinion and I may or may not agree with it.

I like how the most vocal people defending fozziesov in this thread are either high and lowsec people not holding a single sov system and on a couple of occasions the uninformed PL guy who didn't quite realize that his alliance has never been a classical sov holding alliance and currently holds exactly 1 sov system.

Please, if you don't hold sov and/or live in sov space, just shut up.

What's sad is that no one actually really read and tried to understand what Reagalan wrote in this two posts. It is really easy to fallback to the good old grr gons mentality instead of trying to think for yourselves. Basically you are F1 monkeys but in terms of thinking, congratulations to achieving sheep like cognitive heights.

To the Shadow Cartel guy in this thread, if I were you, I wouldn't cry about blobbing.

And most railing on it are all leaning hard to the idea of making harassment impossible, to re-enable the hiding behind passive defenses of massive bubbles and intel networks as well as wanting an instant, guaranteed kill when they are on grid.

I posit that maybe a happy medium is best for all, but the trouble is you all can't see past your own selfish agendas.

Would you like to explain to the uninformed masses why PL doesn't have or want sov and how this relates to you defending the new sov system?

Thanks everyone, and good hunting!

Make it increase sig radius too.

W8, what if the entosis link was a deployable instead, with some volume to it, like 60m3?

Let the trollceptors fly about. They place the link at whatever range, and it just gets sniped if they don't defend it. Eventually it will just churn out of their possession, they can't carry that many.

More goon BLOB ...

just as we start actually taking CFC systems... we have 3 under control now

GA-P6C

the biggest advantage we have SPEED is taken away.... so they can just roll BLOBS onto the grid. BLOB BLOB BLOB.... back to n+1 fighting


Instead of MOA whining ...we are going to ADAPT (like the big blocs should do) and try our best.


IMO however this is a mistake , only a few weeks of this system has been in place and its already being changed to suit the power bloc whiners.


lol, you havent taken those systems, the tcu is literally meaningless in the new sov system. You have the one station inf reeprot but in every other system it is a goonswarm ihub. AKA, they own the system. TCU is justa flag actualy ownership is station and ihub

The fact that you still ***** about "Troll Ceptors" when you can easily kill those now with cruiser hulls and links in system is entertaining. 4km/s instead of 8km/s is a HUGE step. Trolling factor is still ****, surely, but this reduces amount of nodes you have to keep track of as well as speed limit while the entosis link is FITTED (To be seen if it matters offline/online however).

It's not what you might have wanted, but god damn is it in the right direction. I'm sure I speak for most people when I say "Bet you didn't expect that?".

Baby steps... baby steps.


Sure are baby-steps, but better than baby-crawl! And I agree - catching a 4000 m/s ceptor should be no real problem, even without booster in system. Sov-trolling just got harder, but it is still possible. Lets try this a couple of weeks and see how it plays out!

There is probably a reason to the baby-steps; they have a 6 week release cycle/sprints, not much time to do any major redesigns, especially given their vacation period too. In all, these adaptations are probably what is possible to cram into their sprint, while still having some quality and low enough risk when they release Galatea. And as Fozzie sais, they will continue iterating, and I would guess there will be larger adaptations implemented and release in the release after Galatea, as he hints about.

But good that CCP are listening to the feedback!

I just wish that the community could have been a bit more mature in general, we have seen some really bad examples of "net hate" the last couple of weeks, our community is so immature...grown men acting like kids, c'mon guys, behave! We (i.e. the EVE community) are worse than my teenager kids sometimes!

4k isn't enough. Just change the fitting requirements so it's a BC and above sized module or cruiser but with severe limitations. I don't get why you've balanced the game to such an extent that when combat finally happens it's between two non-committal enemies who can run away from each other with ease. This doesn't make people fight. Bring back the bloody close range brawls and ditch this idiot kiting meta.

I would vote in favour of making entosis links incompatible with nullified hulls. You could then do away with all these hamfisted mass/speed penalties that beggar suspension of disbelief.

Making entosis links incompatible with nullified hulls would enable sov holders to actually defend their borders and allow for some interesting bubble tactics.. bubbles being a defining characteristic of null sec gameplay in the first place. It would force an attacker to actually risk his ship.

I know the general idea was to not place any restrictions on whatever hull you could pick to fit the entosis links to, but I feel there would be plenty of choice left after this change.

This is still dumb as a stump. An absolute limit means that they'll just change which ship and fittings they use, whereas a percentage decrease in speed would mean that they can't just change the fittings and make it more offensively viable.

Indeed, the whole idea ignores all the many pieces of reasonable critique about the real problems with trollcepters and defending against them by adding some new, one-off mechanic that requires you to have a 6km/s+ overheated ship, combat scanners, and the ability to kill the ship before they kill you (which they can, since they no longer have to fit for 6k, they can fit any ship that will make 4k and use the rest offensively, but the defender still has to fit for 6k+).

I guess this is just another 'fozz you' to the myriad of people who have submitted thoughtful criticism, and who actually play this part of the game.

Will you also create a ship that can track a ceptor moving at 4000 m/s ?
Cause that was your policy right ? Having a counter to everything ?

This change solves nothing.

Ever heard of precision missiles and nano-ships....? A nano-fitted Scythe Fleet Issue with Rapid Lights will easily kill a 4000 m/s trollceptor, better with speed-booster on grid, but also without it. There are more examples.
