Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Especially as the initial quote given was 'No Fun Allowed', which was used extensively - and almost exclusively on fleets - by Reagalan.

You mean feed the trollceptors delicious kills. Many of them too have guns and will simply vaporise ships like this and move on.

Why? No sov would be just as bad as broken sov. Either way it wouldn't generate fights.

There is no right or wrong way to play, that's what a sandbox is. Personally I don't want to play some ****** space arena game where I can fly some terrible fit ships provided to me a by an overly butthurt blogger to go after ratters. That may be your cup of tea, but it's certainly not mine.

Clearly that's false. Several thousands players at the very least DO want it, otherwise they wouldn't do it.

So you want to see EVE stop being developed due to an enormous lack of subs? That's a bit mean.

Then they should flip the "hire a decent game designer" coin. I can;t believe the only options for a working space ownership system are "non-existent" and "terrible". Even just the basic "whoever has most amount of activity over rolling timescale owns the system" is a better mechanic than the current one. Or "activity scores points, points constantly decay, whoever has the most points at DT owns the system". There are literally hundreds of options and most of them are better than Aegis.

4k is so damned arbitrary. It doesn't do anything at all to solve the troll-ability of sov. You literally would have been better off attaching a "cannot activate propulsion modules" or "50% reduction to propulsion module speed bonus." At least that would have brought them down to base-catchable speeds or at least feel less arbitrary than a flat number cap. Either way, still does not SOLVE the problem people in null have with the system itself...


CCP, let me make this clear. Everyone who has skin in sov null has said the exact same thing many many times already any yet you still seem to be focused on what you percieve as the problem and not what we are telling you is the problem.

You have taken sov which revolved around fielding a fleet/large assets (the more you bring the faster it goes) and moved it into the realm of solo+ game play and applied an artificial penalty to use of large assets with a set time to RF/capture. (Large assets may I add, that no matter how you look at it would have much stronger computer systems to better handle the act of entosising)

-Nobody but the trolls are happy that sov can be contested by a single player who has no intention of fielding an asset of value to do so and has no intent on following up their attack.
-Sov should always be about the fleet (small or large) game play. As such entosising a structure should have always required multiple concurrent modules to at least begin the attack. Number of attackers required based on system index seems the most cut and dry way to address this.
-Sov is brutal and expensive, if the best the attacker can field are small frigates then they never had a role in holding sov to begin with. Hull locking to Recons, BC/CS, and Capitals - for one does not feel arbitrary - but requires the attacker to have some skin in the game but still allows for covert/light scale attacks to be made.


PLEASE CCP, listen to us! Don't say you're listening to us, actually LISTEN.

To that, I do recognize and greatly appreciate the reduction in rf capture timers as that was one of the complaints brought up, but at the end of the day is not the the major issue (likely just the easiest to address if I had to guess).

I'm terribly sorry, CCP, but these changes only highlight how out of touch the company have become with the community and with making an enjoyable gaming experience as a whole. I would like to elaborate as follows:

1. As sovereignty holders, the entire task of capturing command nodes for uncontested systems is a complete and utter waste of our time as players. Exactly who at CCP believes that players want to orbit a series of structures because some guy in an interceptor tripped the sovereignty and never returned?

2. Interceptors aren't fun. As a sovereignty holder I want some action. When someone is tripping my sovereignty I want to expect at least some fight, even if it's only a decent 1 vs 1. Warping in to find an interceptor burning away at speed is hardly quality game time.

Fixes are simple:

1. Uncontested sov falls back to original owner after a time lapse.

2. Entosis links fit only on larger ships (at the very least, cruiser).

Until this happens, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to continue to complain and null sec is going to continue to empty.

The core problem is not only the number of command nodes and time to claim them - it's that your sovereignty system is crap!

We don't want to spend any time making responses to 'sov trolls' - NONE! Unless someone is making a half decent attempt and we're likely to get at least some content, we can't be bothered playing with it.

I must say I am extremely disappointed at the extremely slow response and disconnected nature of the company of late. I think you need to all sit down and think about how a company which used to be so in touch with player aspirations has become completely resolute to follow its own ends blindly, at the expense of player loyalty.

no, instead we go to your home system and kill all your ratters and laugh at you while you are camping 5z thats full of alts.
It is no secret that we actually kill more CFC when we are hell camped than when we are not
Same as its no secret that we kill at least twise as more CFC than you do us
It is also no secret that CFC has had many ops to get rid off MOA and all failed on its head

Build this into node decay: if a node decays, it counts as a defensive win.

They get a name on there so their overlord can claim they are winning. They'll be CONDI soon enough, even moa themselves know they don't stand a chance of holding them.

HI, hello. There are approximately 40 people that believe and support and feel the way you do about 0.0, the 40 of you that roam everyday

Compared to 107,881 people that are currently members of some kind of coalition (a gathering of alliances)

And we finally arrive to the issue at hand, sov trolling. Thank you for ironically supporting the mass opinion regarding current game-play issues.

Also, please start posting your rabble into Word or something to check for grammar errors etc. Your posts are making everyone's eyes bleed.
