Signed.

Be sold to people that didn't hear about the nerf as fast as possible?

Give titan bridges mass limits like wormholes. This limits immeadiate power projection, and thus should be acceptable and still make titans viable.

This is the sensible solution

sounds good

Capitals can't use titan bridges or jump bridges.

I'm really curious why all this Titan talk has cropped up all of a sudden. The titan bridge has been in the game for years. Power projection- they say. Could it be because some elite pvp standards were taken down by swarms of scrubs in rifters?

Would limiting Titans really prevent instant power projection? Or just make it a little bit less instant?

Three things need to be moved to project power: The ships, the pilots for those ships, and the players controlling the pilots. Now lets say we limited rapid movement of ships, but you still wanted to quickly project power. How would you do it? You would pre-position ships about the area along with jump clones. When the time came to project power everyone clone jumps. Or if needed, suicide pod jump. Sure it would be less power and sure the ships would not be in quite the right place when you needed them, but most of the travel would already be done when the time came to move your forces.

So lets eliminate jump clones. Now what do you do? Pre-position alts along with the ships. Now to project power you need to log into the correct alt. There will be a drop in average skill level as you need to skill up alts, but the net effect will not be that much different.

So to really prevent rapid power projection we need to limit Titans, remove jump clones, have your med clone always be at the nearest friendly station with a med bay, and limit every player to one pilot.

Much better idea than simply removing it.

I also remember talk of limiting starbase jump bridges to 1 per system to eliminate the safe highways, has that happened or is it still be discussed at all?

The real question is if jump bridges and cyno bridges are removed.

Then it might take a another hour for a 10,000 person fleet to get to your region but the end result is your still dead.

So in the grand scheme of things has anything really changed ?

So does it really matter if you are fighting on a gate or at a cyno point ?

Now interesting enough if you reverse things.

Say a 10,000 person fleet is blockading all the gates and you are trying to break out or get supplies in for the seige you now have an option with a cyno bridge or jump bridge.

So who does it really hurt and help.

the larger the alliance the less they actually need bridges as numbers give security.
Where a small alliances requires mobility to keep them alive.

Once again just random thoughts.
