Player Features and Ideas Discussion

If you insist on this entosis bull make it so these so called small gang warfare can happen

remove the ceptor idea totally its bull no major entity wants it 0.0 it doesn't create content, as command ships are not used due to t3 boosters make it so the command ships can entosis maybe review the bonuses that it gets a hp boost while in entosis mode (similar to bastion on marauder) also make it so the entosising ship can also receive reps. but can be jammed or the cycle can be itterupted to reset the timer

alternatively look at t3 having a subsystem which means it can entosis but make it so the subsystem is the same as nullified so to stop them be able to warp off while bubbled.

the whole idea of taking sov is that as an attacker you want that system not for sh*ts and giggles by having a command ship have the entosis link it means that you have more to lose by travelling through hostile systems with support this will be seen by hostile scouts be reported and a fleet will be scattered to go intercept why ? because content is created and kms to be had.

look at every single video ccp has made when you have a so called fight every ship has support in a hostile system im waiting cor the new trailer where you just have one ceptor going around the system for 3 minutes

take the ceptor idea and throw it away before you either get fired or get made redundant fozzie..

Hah.

You think you have problems? Wait until the wormholes guys get citadels where even one jump from home can disappear in a blink and you don't have local to spot interlopers. Those guys will need to put alts not just in system, but on EVERY grid of EVERY citadel.

The full expectation of WHers are you LIVE in the system, the system which has inconsistent anoms, no local, no stations....but yeah, you guys are hard done by here.

You're full of first world problems here bro.

From my point of view, fozzie sov has just been a miss for now:
Before it, taking a system was starting a war, putting major fleets, firepower, a lot of man and effort on taking big objectives. Taking a system was something, you had to fight for it... Now, people just come with one or two fast ships and orbit a sov structure 250k off... no fighting, no strategy, no effort.

What i liked and still like in eve is it's variety, and a thing that has been removed by fozzie is the actual BIG part of eve, two (or more) alliances fighting in huge fleets to get control of space. This is the so called blobbing, which is, even if you don't like it, a way of playing. Small gang always existed in ganking, factional warfare,... big fight just tend to disappear, just like dread, titans and other carriers will become useless (which is a shame, fighting around those ships is interesting, the fact they need support fleets making giving the fight a great aspect and making coordination critical).

Empires where build by man followed by a thousands, not by some lonely pilot orbiting in a system. People like TLOTR because of it's big epic fights, star wars because of the huge fleets fighting around the deathstar; and the efforts of Frodon and Luke were supported by a lot of lives, they did not just took the control by themselves!

Fozzie sov on an other hand offers good ideas, but in a bad way. If entosis was limited to the biggest classes of ships, if there were a risk to take to entosis a system then it could be good... fozzie sov just need to bring the meaning of war back to new eden, for now, it just takes the meaning of "run".

My suggestions:
- limit entosis to bigger ships (BC's ad over);
- bring back the fight, for example by giving "control points" when an ennemy entosis ship is destroyed, or just for destroying ennemies,... plenty of ideas can be used here, just think about it BEFORE releasing the new system...

What is bad in actual system:
- one lonely interceptor or recon can still entosis a system while being hard to catch... just because of speed and range;
- no fights for a system, in most of the case it is just a time attack;
- the actual system seems to not have been thought through...

Oh and before some whiners say it: yes, i'm from the imperium/cfc, and yes, I see blobbing as a way of playing, and yes, number is a force, that i think should be the most important in a mmo (MASSIVELY MULTIplayer online ;) ).

Ty for your reading! o7

Good job for discovering a decloaking tactic that's been around (and bannable if it affects server performance) since 2006. It has nothing to do with fozziesov and nothing to do with this thread.

Quit making ******* sense, they don't understand, nor comprehend that

Funny because accurate. CCP's true sov mistake was ever giving in to the requests to make sov an "in-game" thing. Should have just kept adding more API endpoints to facilitate out-of-game tools being able to decide for themselves who "owns" a system. It's easy enough to fix now though... just remove TCU's entirely and drop sov requirements on supercap assembly arrays so they can be anchored in any system with a gate (since we don't want filthy wormholers having supercaps).

If you want another B-R, you are welcome to YOLO your supers into CFC space. I GUARANTEE the epic tidi fest you were hoping for would occur.

But you won't, will you? So how bad do you really want these fights? Because you could make them happen no problem at all.

Or is this more about not being able to hold a stupid amount of space for a very small headcount? I feel like you're throwing out white noise to distract form the fact you have a stupid number of systems and a stupidly lower headcount to hold them.

I think you’re wrong .

CCP Fozzie - shame CCP .

I actually want Goons to make good on their threats and mass-quit the game. Every time I see one of them threatening to cancel their sub, I feel like egging them on. Hell, let the entire CFC vanish in smoke. I'd love to see the look on their faces when they realise they aren't nearly as vital to this game as they think they are.
