I have a question. Can a gang apply several entosis links, one to each station service at same time?



And then I must congratulate CCP on finnaly trying really hard to fix the major problems of 0.0. I might not agree with every detail, but seems a very valid approach.

The only point that I find disturbing is the concept of prime time. Why? Because you could have a coalition of a specific timezone ( you know very well what country I am talking about) become invulnerable by simply gathering all major forces that speak their own idiom/live in a certain timezone.

That is not easy to solv. But I hope someone might have a good idea on how to tackle that. Something as for example, the LONGER the constellation is stable (that means no one takes anythign from the owner there) the larger the prime time period becomes. SO if you have held stuff for 1 year with nothing contesting you. Your prime time window could be widened to 6 hours... Why ? Just a reaction to a clear state of near invulnerability, that opens up more chances.

Yeah! That! I thought of it first!

A defender'll have more ready access to reshipping upon losses than an attacker would, and moving around within an entire constellation means the defender'll have the possibility to have multiple ships stowed away in each system, while the attacker might not.


Not necessarily, but it is a risk. It also allows an attacker to reinforce a system to get some of their own stuff out, which'll mean there's more incentive to actually attack than just "I want that system", which is all good.


Or just extend the primetime to compensate for the downtime?

The 2 parts of your statements are contraditory. If you ad REALLY read ANYTHING. You would know they will be able to ping your sov only 4 hours per day....a t your PRIME TIME.


*Snip* Please refrain from personal attacks. ISD Ezwal.

Can we simplify this down to "Zip is right and all you nullbears stop whining"?

how exactly are you going to warp to a ship going that fast, it takes 10 seconds minimum to probe,warpin, lock target, and activate mod, by that time its already 100km away, no longer in a straight line, so still impossible to track.

and the 28 second align time is with mwd on, just shut it off to warp out.

(and its 300 sig radius)

aa no.. Simply that will NOT work. An interceptor that cannto move will die in exaclty 2 seconds. So it will NEVER compelte a SINGLE cycle.

So no effect. People with minimal knowledge will not try to spam frigates. Any ship that cannot survive a few minutes will be worthless son that role. People will likely have to KILL the defenders before tryign to take something, OR when there are very few in system, using a marauder will be feasible (since you cannot kill one with a bunch of defense interceptors before it reinforce something).

So you can bring 4 TRILLION interceptors with these modules. As long as there is a single munin on grid the interceptors will NEVER get the station reinforced unless they kill the munin.


THAT PROBLEM DOES NOT EXIST!

Yup that might work as well. But I hope CCP stops and thinks a bit about it. Otherwise I predict a null sec fragmentation by idiom/timezone, because the most powerful tool of defense will be: simply have 50% + of the players on your timezone. And coalitions WILL PUSH FOR IT, as they have pushed for every gap on history of eve.

Considering you cannot LOCK anything while cloaked.. it is not even needed.

For the record:
When these changes were announced I argued that Nullsec ressource distribution is in dire need of rebalancing.

However, we did the test. And it turns out I was wrong.

Went to remote nullsec with the goal of trying to set up full T2 production. T2 has the most complicated production chains, so that would be a good indicator to whether it is possible to be self sufficient or not.
And we said no matter what happens - we will NOT use jump freighters.
We are 2 industrialists with no extra indu alts.
We operate equivalent 4 Large Towers for reactions and from time to time some extra small ones to get certain ressources.
The operational area is roughly 1 constellation (8 systems).
R64s and R32s are traded from our friendly moon overlords who are also happy to buy the final products for their fleets.
There is a bit of alchemy involved and in the end we only need to import 1-2 sorts of moon goo from empire.
13 PI colonies produce POS fuel components.
Running the thing now since 5 months, production capacity is like 6 T2 cruisers per week (or 25 frigs or a mixture) which is enough to supply a small corporation or alliance.
Logistics are easier than expected. We are dependant on empire (no local Caldari Isotopes and several other materials available plus we import all the other ice stuff because no one likes mining), but we only need about 5 trips to empire monthly in a DST.
Those are easily manageable since we use wormhole connections. One basically needs ONE dedicated scanner/explorer and will get a decent connection every other day. And getting the scanner is not an issue since exploration easily yields 100-200M ISK/hour while searching for the empire connection.

Basically the only downside is that you need to reconfigure the reaction towers all the time.
And this is configuration HELL.
There is so many little things that make this task incredibly complicated (put nicely: "challenging") that you almost instantly go insane.
It needs tons of spreadsheets, container and bookmark systems etc and still you make mistakes all the time and cause inefficiencies.
And the ISK gain is less than what you get from running optimized reactions with a dedicated tower for each one.

I would have liked to present these results to CCP Greyscale, but sadly he's gone meanwhile... :-/

TL;DR:
JFs are already unnecessary, people just need to be a bit creative ;-)
