What we still need in this patch is to nerf remote aid capabilities of carriers without triage , while boosting it in triage.
So no new slowcat / boot fleet stays at it is.
100 repping itself carriers give us almost 60000 repair amount .

For example :
2 capital remote repairs on each carrier , each have 5 second cycle ( something that is not to big issue as carrier will have multi million ehp) repairing 1,500 hp per cycle.

So assuming 99 carriers repairing 1 currently attacked we have:
99 * 2 & 1500 /5=59400 armor points per second.

Now just assuming ( wrong assumption as resistances are usually higher ) that you are shooting in a hole in resistances that have just 50% resistance then in order just to brake this tank you need :

59400*2 =118.800 dps/s

This is still nonsense.

I am glad that the 'I quit' and the 'haz yer stuff' has died down and now there are people who have had time to think, have done so and are making better arguments. In that regard this is the opposite of most threadnaughts as the circle runners are quieting and the adults are staying up and discussing, rationally.

Probably a bit late to spitball, but what the hell.

1) Set all ship jump ranges to exactly 10 light years. Carriers, Titans, Blops, everything. Starbase JBs remain at 5LY.
2) Jump fatigue is measured from 1-100%. Whenever you jump, your fatigue is increased by whatever percentage of 10LY you jump. So a 4LY jump adds 40% fatigue, 8.5LY adds 85%, etc. Simple.
3) Fatigue decays on a curve akin to shields and cap regen, just in reverse. This means that it's much quicker to go from 30% to 20% than from 100% to 90%.
4) Until the fatigue decays completely, this percentage is a limit on subsequent jumps. Someone with a 90% fatigue cannot jump more than 1LY, while someone on 35% fatigue can jump up to 6.5LY
5) Special-cases like blops, freighters and JFs build fatigue at a reduced rate (50% is probably fair).
6) Training Jump Drive Calibration speeds up fatigue decay.

This is far simpler to understand for players, easier to do math on the fly, and means less sitting around waiting on cooldown timers doing nothing in what's meant to be a video game. Inter-region travel is just as slow, but local travel is viable. There's an incentive for players to make shorter jumps or take gates, as recovering from a long jump would take much longer than several shorter ones.
The higher range introduces a trade-off for jump-capable combat ships; the further away they hide the easier it is to make a surprise attack, but the harder it becomes to get away again. In the future, power projection can be tuned by simply adjusting the base rate of fatigue decay.

Examples:

An Archon pilot jumps from Sahkt to Karan, a distance of 6.32LY. After the jump, his fatigue is set at 63.2%. His next jump must be 3.68LY or less, although this will gradually increase as fatigue decays.

A jump freighter pilot jumps from CCP-US to DO6H-Q, a distance of 3.24LY. After the jump, his fatigue is set at a reduced rate of 16.2% (half of 32.4%). His next jump must be 8.38LY or less, although this will gradually increase as fatigue decays.

A Rifter pilot takes a starbase jump bridge between CCP-US and DO6H-Q, a distance of 3.24LY. After the jump, his fatigue is set at 32.4%. His next jump must be 6.76LY or less, meaning he can use at least one more Jump Bridge immediately. This means a return trip is easily possible, but using more than 1-2 bridges means a lengthy delay.

In low sec gate camping with carrier or even supers will be either totally or quite safe. If you get agressed you wait out the timer and jump the gate. After jump your gate cloak will last 3 sec but you can jump after 15 secs. So light exit cyno, pick the beacon in right click menu, press "a" for align and immediately press jump, if you do it right you will jump the same second you de-cloak.

Granted one danger would be titans, but hey, you can do the same camp with a titan. And titan is very large, you can smartbomb damn lot with a titan. Just need couple different emergency exit cynos in place.

not if you are using the same method of travel. You dont see oilers zipping to and from aircraft carriers in the pacific (assuming non-nuclear). The constant flow of supplies is kept up with planning ahead and stockpiles in certain locations. Same thing happened on the ground during WW2. If you didnt have access to existing infrastructure (of which there is now no real comparison in game) you had to haul supplies in the same trucks that moved troops, through the same terrain. The only time a supply line will move faster is if it is in friendly controlled territory. and since the front lines of conflict dont tend to keep up blitz speeds, the supply lines dont have to go any faster than the forces. When germany invaded russia part of the reason that the winter was so harsh to them was that they outran their supply lines and many just surrendered due to starvation and freezing. Second to the enemies efforts, logistics has always been the thing slowing down military movement.

This is a another huge nerf to super-carriers and titans. For better or worse, these ships have only a fraction of the ability they once had when they were released.

Is it possible for CCP to re-visit the issue of supers and titans being able to dock? Do you really think that with all the previous changes in addition to what is being planned, it still makes sense to keep these ships out of stations?

Have you considered that the idea is for the Logistics to take days not hours like it does now?

Think of it like ordering something from say Amazon, it doesn't get to your house in a few hours unless you live next door to the shipping dock it came in on and it went straight to you from there. With this initiative the idea is for logistics to be possible but to take substantially longer like the package that will take days to get to your home. now your jump freighter might take 2 days once you cool down your fatigue and move cynos, maybe a week at the most if you live way out there. Consider more cyno alts the version of "Priority Shipping" since theoretically you can take even more time off your trip.

People have run the calculations, its all still possible, CCP just wants to make people work for their lifestyles now where before there was complacency and lazyness. Were trimming the fat by putting people on the treadmill, and its going to burn at first until you lose the excess and get back into shape for it. But once your in shape for it, that run will be a cakewalk and you will be used to it. Some people wont make the run, theyll just continue on with their complacency and lazyness or move to closer regions so they dont work as hard.

But i can tell you from experience both in EvE and in real life, you have to burn some to earn some.

( and yes i lived in Null sec I know how much logistics means, Stain if you were wondering )

I am pretty sure this change makes indeed deployment difficult for us and other groups, so people can bet on we will organise more "Burn Jita" events and Hulkageddon like stuff. Given the fact we of the glorious CFC live close by Caldari space, there is a big probability we will pop in now and then to torch and pillage the place.

Hey, its all in good fun. :)
