What can be taken away quickly, can be taken back almost as quickly. A large force could roll over a region, but if they don't stick around, the locals just take it back. The proposed system promotes more frequent fights, which is what some folks want, right?

I think some folks are overly fixated on the industrial / mining bonus. Its in the chart: the defender is missing out on a little over 10 minutes of extra Entosis link time, if Industry is zero. 27.5 if Military and Strategic are maxed out, versus 40 for everything. I think its perfectly valid to complain that the maximum 40 minutes seems too short, compared to hours of structure grinding by bomber fleets that we have known up to now... which is more like 5 minutes, to a supercarrier blob. But I would not complain about a subset of the proposed 40 minutes.

"Maximum range of 25km for Tech One, 250km for Tech Two.
Requires a target lock on the structure.

Capital Ships would have restrictions for using these modules, most likely in the form of a role bonus that increases the cycle time by 400% (this means a 10 minute cycle time for a T2 Entosis Link on a capital ship)."

First off the bonuses to the T2 (in theory) are just absolutely ridiculous. A large capital fleet of armour ships with mids having a range scripted sensor booster and drone tracking/range mods fit would be able to self rep and maintain the point from 250km off the target piece of SOV? Sheebus.


Once the Territorial Claimamigigger is destroyed anyone can then drop a new one in the system? So the attacking force is three jumps out, the defending force realizes they can't win. They return to base, get large un-maneuverable but powerful ships out, let the attackers win the battle three jumps out and then just drop their new replacement TCU and wax the crap out of any attackers in system doing the same? Maybe everything should just change hands and anything but a station should just random spawn like an anom.

ugh. I think this is going to be, once again, very beneficial to the biggest blob that can just break itself into the biggest smaller pieces with the caviate of adding the most timezones due to the downtime continuation.

Deciding Phoebe was a good thing based on crap stats about how people aren't actually getting the chance to play eve anymore is wrecking your self assessment/decision making processes. (you mentioned it in your post not me). I get the timers from Phoebe I still don't get the ranges at all. Honestly all I've noticed is a 30 minute fleet takes 3 hours now and there is never anyone still there to fight.

I'd like to know what a small alliance that takes a relatively undefended and undeveloped system in the backwoods of a less important region of space is going to gain from that? Are they going to mine for not enough minerals to build anything? With reduced jump ranges on Jump Freighters and friends how are they going to get their mod fought gains out of said system?

~Cheers.



Hey remember when there were a ton of pages of people hating the idea of phoebe and they ignored us and put that pos out anyways? Why am I bothering to post/pay for this game. Also thanks for the upcoming release, nothing new, nerf the only ship that can do good dps and not melt to a bomber, while at the same time making more skill points less valuable, well played CCP.

well couple question.

1 what is to prevent a cepter or bomber from reffing a region? will this module have some sort of charge making it not possible for a small ship to just gref people to death?

2 shouldn't you make this module only fit able to command ships? makes sense to me. they have the tank and require some skill to fly. if you don't this is gonna be gay-boys online really fast. every noob gonna be like ooooo i has stealth bomber lets go take deklein.

3 why you hate capitals so much yo. i know CCP Rise cant fly them but that doesn't mean the rest of us don't want to. i really hope you have some good content in the pipe for supers. titans, dreads, and carriers. because as of right now the content for them is limited and post this patch that amount of available content drops even more dramatically

It should take a significant amount of work to take a system. This will be the last nail in the coffin of EVE online's Null Sec. population, because it no longer be viable to defend and hold sov. Srsly. ******* fix this, right now.


firstly its meant to break the coalition gameplay

secondly:
5 or 2 min + (notification of attack) 10 - 40 min + 2 days RF + time to complete command node contest + 2 day free port
then its capture-able.

As someone pointed out earlier a single atron flown by SOMEONE WHO LIVES THERE can prevent them switching a system. And i would hope in your peak time zone you are not alone?

Which it's not going to accomplish. You can try arbitrary mechanisms to channel behaviour, CCP has done this time and time again, turned out it didn't work. Then they started to think about introducing stimuli based on incentivising in balance with restrictive elements like jump lag, that started to have an effect. Now they're back on the train of the mechanical design approach.

And already the min/maxing has begun among the blocks. Layers of rent control alliances as buffers was the first weak link to be spotted.

It'll work fine in some places, like where there's NRDS and there's an established record to avoid the kind of behaviour that leads to blocks. But the rest, it'll need more than this. More, and different.

There are such forces in existence? What are they doing all this time?

I'm sure you're all excited and are about to form your own just for this purpose aren't you? This could be your lucky day.

Wait better question. if no more timers then whats the incentive to fight at all?

not fighting to save a system. not fighting to save a station. whats the point?

i really dont get it maybe im missing something.
