Doomsday podding would be something fun.

But I'd like to think that low-sec still belongs to subcap fleets and small corps, bringing DDs could step up the game a lot for small corps with only a small capital presence.


If only that was true....

Since we crushed mobility in EVE can we at least get grid clearing back with AOE DD modules through bridge portals? I mean you are going backwards in everything these days we might as well make it fun again. I would even let you make up something stupid as to why it would cause fatigue as well.

"less restrictions more freedoms" Balance through expansion and new stuff not rehashing the old.

I have to say I don't think this was really well thought through, hell I don't even understand what it is you hope that this change will even accomplish... in-fact I have to say this in the History of Smart Ideas is right up there with a Chocolate Fireguard.

Still you want to actually go through with this, then actually think this through properly; rather than the usual half-arse "Oh wouldn't it be cool if..." that generally seems to occur from within CCP. I mean quite frankly, I think Carriers and Super Carriers should have their ability to use Drones removed (Fighters and Fighter-Bombers ONLY) ... on top of that Systems should scale the Jump Fatigue with volume of ships jumping in; the more ships the more fatigue, they want to come for a fight let them; but past a certain point it should be a one way trip. They either win or wake up in a clone bay.

Expand on one of the ship lines to include a 'Sub-System Super-Capital / Structure Bomber' where they can take down Supers / Structures like you would in Homeworld, meaning the use of Supers becomes a seriously risky affair; not from Null-Sec groups but from the Residents.

You want to bring WMDs to our doorstep, then give us the means to fight them Guerrilla-style. Forcing the Null-Sec groups to fight on our terms, not theirs... Seriously CCP get it through your heads, WE DON'T WANT TO LIVE IN NULL-SEC ... so stop bloody trying to change Low-Sec to be Null-Sec Lite.

And hell if you actually put some time and effort into improving Null-Sec itself, the core mechanics that frankly encourage blob warfare and boring as hell structure grinding; then you might find people will want to actually be involved there a bit more rather than this stupid kick of trying to encourage players there through changing areas of the game we DO like.
Don't get me wrong there are things that would be good to see changed with Low-Sec, but something like this... not even remotely close to one of them.
