i dont think Super Capitals ( Titans and Motherships ) should not be able to use gates, should be forced to jump to cyno's.
also here is my suggestion how to do this

* Dont touch the max jump ranges, keep them as they are now.
* And also the Jump Fatigue is to powerful i think,

The Jump Calibration skill should effect how much jump fatigue you will get,
instead of multiply just add a certain base jump fatigue depending on Jump Calibration level
Base fatigue + Light years Traveled + any built up fatigue
this way we who have spent alot of time training Jump cal will atleast feel a Little better =P

Jump cal level -> Base fatigue

0 -> + 15
1 -> +10
2 -> +8
3 -> +6
4 -> +4
5 -> +2

ill do an example
we will do 4 jumps, with a fully skilled carrier pilot. so Jump calibration 5.



Jumps we will do will be:

Starting in HED-GP to Dooz Distance: 14.5 ly
Since this is our first jump we wont have fatigue yet,

14.5ly + 2 = 16.5

so we will get a timer on 16 min and 30 sec for doing almost a max jump and get a 16.5 Fatigue.
We wait those those 16 mins and our fatigue will be down to 14.9

Dooz to Ofage Distance: 14.1 ly

This time we do already have fatigue so

14.1ly + 2 + 14.9 = 31

So this time we will have a timer on 31 mins and a fatigue on 31.
when we waited we should be down to 27.9 fatigue.

Ofage to 4NGK-F Distance: 8.1 ly

This jump will be shorted but we still built up quite some fatigue.

8.1ly + 2 + 27.9 = 38

so now we have a timer on 38 mins, and fatigue 38.
after our ship spinning time is done, we should almost be down to 34 fatigue

4NGK-F to WH-JCA Distance: 11.3 ly

Last jump,

11.3 ly + 2 + 34 = 47.3

so we reached our destination but we will have some time Before able to do Another jump, around 47mins and 15 sec. and a fatigue at 47.3

Total travel distance: about 48 lightyears. Time taken to get here = 1h 30 mins and we would still be having Another 47mins to wait until be able to jump next



this way, you still get quite some timers and building up fatigue but at a okey level since you can infact jump longer. That way you wont kill pilots who live Deep into null
also if you now ever wanted to let regular captials ( Carriers, Dreads, Rorq ) back into high sec you could and let super captials still be stuck in low/null space.

That's my suggestion to this idea of yours,
i dont like it but it would be surviveble.

( some numbers as fatigue might be rounded up or down )

wow worked so hard to get capitals now....... load of b.s.

Who exactly is going to us a 'hauler' when you can stuff tings in a carrier that (with proper fit and implants) will travel faster while being able to remote rep and launch legions of fighters and drones? In this new EVE, 'escort' will be "hey dude, can you bring your nano triage carrier along?".

This illustrates a problem with these kinds of discussions. People arne't creative enough to see the obvious consequneces of a change until AFTER the change when actual creative people are shafting everyone else...because of the changes lol.

That's where the sov revamp comes into play.

They could do that with the Heavy Interdictor, make it an artillery platform against capital ships. You'll need them to catch them in lowsec to begin with.

Thats only true if you are a terrible organisation. Our newbees have a much higher retain rate than the ones left in high sec.

on the JF and jump ranges note, in general I like the changes a lot, just was thinking some places EG drone regions are now essentially cut off but for a handful of routes, that undoubtedly will be perma gatecamped, which even with escorts becomes problematic.

Just consider the effects that there are some regions that are much more isolated at 5 LY jumps that are not self sufficient in terms of GOO, and many other things, so unless you make it more reasonable to do everything on site, or most everything, the JF nerf makes them much more annoying to live in.

Not all of Eve are bittervets that throw carriers around to solve all problems. Just sayin.

With the changes to movement there's something else that needs looked at a bit more closely

Anchorable Bubbles

The cost on them is quite low, the only require maintenance if killed off, and they are quite hellacios for capitals with low mobility to get out of.

Rather than suggest a capital MJU or something silly, I'd like to suggest that anchorable bubbles be tweaked to require some amount of maintenance.

Be that fueling them as with POSes or with redeploying them as one currently does with the mobile depots/mobile cyno jammers/etc...

The amount of safety that set-it-and-forget-it anchorable bubbles provide in an environment of much lower mobility is completely out of skew. So make it something that requires maintenance and actively being in that area to some amount in order to disrupt movement. This introduces an amount of risk as you may get caught out while maintaining your bubbles and it means you're in the area so you may draw someone hunting you after going all "grr bubbles." This also prevents a single person from creating a highly disruptive bubble path- it does not stop a focused entity from doing it though, and actually makes it more rewarding to have people focused on disruptive behavior, which opens up a lot of tactical gameplay.

A period of 30min or so would put them as a good option in comparison to dictors, while still leaving dictors with their uniquely disruptive capabilites.

I'd have to agree. Most new players I've talked to get that glossy eyed deer-in-headlights look just from being told they'll lose the Rookie channel after the first 30 days.
