~~YOU CANT GO BOBWRONG WITH BOBMON~~

I like it, Now time to make some posters! GO Chrytis GO

whaha

I will be putting Dark behind Bobmon.

He is a solid guy and I believe he has a unique grasp on eve from his multifaceted background.

From your Ideas List:

The answer to that was identified as the hyper travel. Teleportation as I like to call it. Going from one side of the game to the other in 7 minutes with a carrier while even the fastest interceptor taking gates would take an hour.

Any new alliance that did not immediately snuggle up and become part of an existing coalition never stood a chance because they would be the latest content addition to null in which content starved coalitions would dog pile on top of in just minutes. There was zero incentive to not go and feast on them when the coalitions territory is completely safe from anyone who is not part of the enemy coalition. Timers would last for days and crossing the map was just a few minutes. Young budding alliances had NO CHOICE but to join a coalition if they wanted to be in null and so much as take a single system. And at that point, are they even a separate entity or just another cog in the coalition machine? You know the answer.

The only solution was to drop a nuclear bomb on the mechanics that involve hyper travel.

Jump Fatigue is arguably the greatest change in EVE Online. It started working before Phoebe hit as you saw some alliances remove themselves from renters and after Phoebe coalitions are showing, in dramatic form I might add, that they can not concentrate their forces in one spot without losing territory in others. For the first time in who knows how long, the small guy can actually take a small piece of null for themselves. They can actually field a capital ship without worries of supers from all four corners of the map cynoing in on top of them 'just because' there was nothing else going on.

Now groups have to make strategic decisions on where to place capitals. Where and when they should take that jump bridge. Is dropping ten carriers on that single battlecruiser worth it? Do I join in on this Black Ops hot drop and then miss the opportunity to cyno in with some of my alliance mates for a CTA in an hour? Again, strategic decisions are back in play. Which brings me to your opinion on Black Ops:

Behold! You are now having to make a strategic decision and because of this, you are not able to power project all over anything that moves 'just because'. Which of course means good news for that young alliance that is just now taking hold of a single system in null. It means that you are having to decide which is more important. The alliance CTA to do 'important stuff' or go Black Ops hot drop all over that new guy because you are bored.

What I despise is some people who, because they can't take a cyno, feel like they are not able to join their mates in glorious combat. Take a gate. Capital ship via gates will take too long? Well ship down a bit into something that will travel faster. Guess what? Now because you want to project power at a distance with relative speed, balance enters the scene and you have to sacrifice firepower for speed.

You are a great guy, but I will not send any votes your way if you are going to lobby to have power projection reverted back and the game falls back into the ultra stagnant boring state it was in. There is growing pains to these big changes CCP are doing, but I assure you they are for what is best for the game.

I wish there was a way I could explain it better for you to see all the good Jump Fatigue is doing, but if I can't do it after all this time, then I suppose there is no changing your mind. This doesn't mean I disagree with you on the rest of your platform, but I don't want to see EVE put back on its knees again. I hope you understand.

Thanks for your comments! I 100% agree that the pre-phoebe state was very bad, but I think that this state change because of a lot of reasons and not purely the Jump fatigue itself. Often fear and diplomatic contracts are much worse then actual ingame tools. B0TLORD is a prime example, PL has always done think for certain period, Look at the HBC, PL was involved but after a few month they sorta left and that created a lot of content. Same pretty much goes for BOTLORD, We do it for a while and then cut it all off and have fun somewhere else. Was the patch crucial? I would say no, the NULLSEC is something that we are more nervous for.

Jump fatigue had increadable effects but it ruins a lot of fun for the individual pilot. I hate this, I find it very strange that me as a individual pilot im forced to basicly not use a certain ship because it will stop me later on in joining up fleets. I think the future would be much better if we created a so called: Jump Button. This would work as followed:

Right click modle -> Select system (current menu) -> click system, jump -> Wait certain time (10mins) and continue.

You can even add a activation timer when clicking the module and maybe everytime you use it it would take longer (like current fatigue). This would allow a pilot to both join his ops and have fun doing blackops and such.

Bare in mind, My ideas are just Ideas and it is something that I would love to work on... Then again you can pretty much forget that if ANY CSM gets into office that his/.her ideas will be immidiatly implemented.

lololol

On a serious note though, Bob has evolved from the spin king of EvE journalism ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqFFyW01FXA ) all the way to something actually not that. He's also a pretty chill dude with a good morale compass.

Everybody vote for bobby, coz you "Can't go Bobwrong with Bobmon"
