This is a reasonable argument to make that has several good merits including giving people in larger, slower ships reasons to bring their ships out. I would support it only if you gave shuttles a travel advantage and possibly increased their warp speed.

The majority of your post reads like 'arm chair general noob' theory, but this particular point is just coming from a blatant lack of experience.

Chasing stragglers, or hunting anyone who is moving, goes farther than one or two systems the vast VAST majority of the time. And you think the frigs wont survive long enough for back up to arrive? Do you not realise you can hunt with more than one frig? do you realise frigs are hard to hit with large ships? Do you think there will be no situation where cruisers are chasing cruisers one jump behind and they send frigs forward as tackle? thats not going to take a frigates life span to catch up.

If this reads as contemptuous, then its because i feel you havent really thought this through and you've started trying to justify it with plain bad arguments. Like the following:



The fleet warping in isnt always the attacker nor is the fleet being warped in on always out numbered/overpowered. If someone shoots my POS, i have to travel to it and warp in on them! and even though i may be overpowered, i may take the fight because my POS is valuable to me...But i have to be at a further disadvantage for trying to defend my stuff?

If you want people to take unfavourable fights, then dont let them run away by letting frigs hunt them down.
If you want to buff BS's, look at any other 'Buff BS' thread.

This is a property which needs to exist in some form, although possibly not exactly as in this particular solution as such, EVE needs a deeper level of consequences of locality making the world matter making the locality of a pilot feel more substantial, a notion of which I am a huge supporter of.

Currently it's far too easy to travel very quickly over dozens of jumps without any worries as if it were nothing, when such trivializing experiences should at most be relegated to interplanetary jumps, I would like to see this fleshed out significantly to bring more meaningful warp properties and functionality into the mix.

It's a good start, EVE needs much more consequences in terms of fitting, requirement of consumables and thought and planning required in engaging in wide spanning travel.

Who can argue with such flawless reasoning.

What I suggested does nothing to remove the ability of interceptors to intercept. As both sizes of ship lose capacitor regen at the same rate while warping and gain it back at the same rate while not warping, the faster-warping ships will be able to cover more ground over an extended period of time exactly proportional to the speed of their warp drive.

Ha! So there is still hope for you.

And now a history lesson from a very young princess- errm I mean from a very young lady taking her first baby steps in New Eden with nothing more than 51.545 skillpoints.

Still overwhelmed by the sheer amount of things to figure out and information to procress young e2 was warping from her starting system Todaki to Autaris or 7 jumps.

The new age folks will not know this since they all start with like a million skillpoints now which I think is a mistake but anyhow with just Navigation level I and no other navigation skillbooks in the shelf, I was on my merry way to find my new corporate home.

Some of the distances were vast in the very meaning of the word and a distance like the 92AU from Vellaine - Autaris would take roughly 20 minutes to warp across.
Why would it take 20 minutes? Everytime I would click 'warp' it would empty my capacitor entirely and the maximum disance I could warp in one go was 3 or 4AU.

So the trip from Todaki to Autaris took me almost two hours and it was an adventure on its own. Adventure or not it get's old very quickly and I don't want to go back there just for the sake of it.
Reading all those books over the last nine years gave me the ability to do other things that needs attending like the insane amount of pve I have to do to get 'less' for increasingly more isk every day.

So how about NO and please let all noobies start with the same low amount of skills, so they really get a 'feel' of achievement and don't come up with funny ideas.
