Thank G*d, finally an easy way to get my Moros from GQ2 to TPAR

I understand where this thinking is coming from but the specifics of the implementation make this seem pretty unattractive. Part of the fun of owning a capital is its extraordinary mobility. It's a defining feature of the class of ships. Making a trip, in your particular example, take two hours to get from north Deklein to Geminate is straight up unmanageable. 2 minutes per system cruising (sloooowwwwlllyyy) in the warp animation is just not going to be enjoyable gameplay for anyone. If the choice is between logging in my cap ship to spend hours moving it with no prospect of actual combat I'm going to just do something else with my time. Great for subs I guess, but this needs a lot more thinking if there's an intention for caps to continue to be a part of large group gameplay. These changes frankly ensure that nothing like Asakai or B-R will ever happen again because aggressor parties will flat out never be able to get into position.

Similarly, applying these restrictions to player-built jump bridges in the absence of an alternative for long-distance movement significantly impacts the value of holding the infrastructure for them at all. Consider an example where a gang roams into Deklein. By virtue of our organization and intel, we're able to form a home defense gang in minutes and have them in place to defend a given area of space, or alternatively to be able to get ahead of a gang that's being pursued. If timers are applied to jump-bridges, the value of that local presence is almost entirely removed. For a more specific example, consider a gang changing direction just after the local pursuers have popped through a bridge. The pursuers are now stuck staring at a timer while the hostiles have even better access to the space they're attacking. Perhaps a way to define a home region where these penalties don't apply? Restricting it to owned Sov is too punitive and would make standings irrelevant for sharing of infrastructure.

You mean the stuff from the one account that he unsubbed and then posted the image of 14 times?

And I like this a LOT- it finally gives smaller groups the ability to actually do something.

Most of the whining in this thread is coming from members of big alliances- let's see who will be affected the most.

Still, I feel like Black Ops should be exempt from this altogether, or at least in a much less severe way- making them the best covert fleet ship would make a lot of sense- and that, combined with the other idea I keep talking about would make covert fleets into a class of fleet all their own.

Anyhow, back to the matter at hand- people are complaining about how they're not going to be able to just move all the way across the galaxy in 10 minutes- having ships, all ships, as a whole, take a scaled time to travel makes sense- smaller ships, right now, can never keep up with capital ships- this has never really made sense in my mind- making ships all take a similar amount of time to travel from A to B is a VERY good idea.

Also, if caps are going to be able to use gates, just let them come into high sec again- no cynos in high sec, but more fun for everyone- maybe we'd see suicide battleship fleets ganking carriers and dreads on gates

can i have your stuff XDDDDDDDDDDDD

please gieb

Well I guess this will be my first and last post, CCP by placing these restrictions you will be making Null-sec even more stagnant. Players will be limited on how far and how fast they can more from place to place let alone the movement of commerce in and out of Null-sec into Low-sec and High-sec space. Please re-think your plans, your going to harm EvE.

Note that I did not say I was leaving EvE, No tears here just distain for short sightedness.

If it was only the range issue then it wouldn't be that bad. Sure, deliveries would take longer (and probably cost more).

The removal of deathcloning is worse though. You now have to move all those cynos around by flying through space, which is going to take time.

Edit: Okay, I take that back. The 5 ly limit is pretty bad. It means some places you have to take some major detours. For example, try getting from Derelik to Curse. Shortest jump is Podion -> Doril which is 5.3 ly. Avoiding sov-space make that 5.3 ly into 8 jumps...

Please share which ever drugs you were taking when you came up with these changes because god they must be strong you crazy people.

Please explain how these changes make 0.0 better? they just make caps unusable. and blops even worse
