EVE General Discussion

I'm a former CFC member for multiple years. Given after I quit and badmouthed their carebear nature, I ended up on more than a few watchlists, so I hide my identity on threads like this.

I wouldn't expect people like him who hide behind the carebear safety of the multi thousand player blue doughnut to understand.

Has your small alliance been able to capture space for the first time ever?

We took sov under Dominion (less than a week before fozziesov) but we were able to keep it (hah even ninjaed one system from .-A-. under dominionsov). in direct fights the bigger force still wins but the def-multipliers give you enough time to call for help
We are fighting REQ as local enemy sov-holders and yeah the alliance with a more concentrated sov that gets utilizedis better off. (didnt los a single system yet but they are loosing and regaining systems frequently)


Are you playing World of Warships while AFK capping 800 command nodes?

No, if we attack nodes we have alts who cap nodes while having our combatmains in the mobile defence fleet and or scouts around. since that alone is pretty engaging and well, since we dont have 200 people at hand we have to do several things at the same time maybe the experience of bigger alliances is different.


Has your corporation or alliance's playstyle been radically altered by fozziesov?

Since we had left the CFC 3-4 months ago we got from ultra-largescale to smallscale pvp early on pretty much and that experience had payed of for us, mixxed witht he large-fleet experience that still exists and is needed from time to time its a well round up of playstiles and since we are mainly using cruisers like before, ishtars, tengus you remmber? :D

but we HAVE to do something for our space which is not that easy all the time because of campers for 4-5 days which might should be easier to defend against, but we adapted to that by now, we had to become carebears and sentences like "im mining i cant come with you on the roam" are a valid reason NOT do do pvp right now, not a reason to kick somebody :D



In my conclusion the new system is better than the old. MAYBE still prevent troll-ceptoring and maybe make more like a 12 hour window instead of a 18 for unused systems? or give each non-stratig index a bigger improvement. like 0.6 or 0.8 per level so you ahve a ratting-lvl 5 + strat lvl 5 system with max defense-index because you dont want to mine on a pipe-system (maybe not even rat there :D ) which will be attackt way more often than a non-pipe or put in a "constellation capital" where nodes have a double-chance to spawn if your alliance controlls the majority of the constellation or sth like that. just throwing around ideas.

BUT the positiv footnote is in the last 3 weeks i hade 2 incredible AWESOME fights and had more fun that the last year because fleets are smaller and if you do well, your fleet does well. so smallscalle pvp is GREAT and fast-paced pvp is even better like 15 guys sitting around wiht node-capturers all over the constellation. a 12 man fleet comes in and engages them a quick fight 3-5 minutes unfolds one side gets the upperhand bam over. one side goes home and either reforms or stands down. i never had the case that the entosis guys were specifically focused but that might be that case if you go beyond 100 people but the problem is that if you cant kill their primary fleet you have close to no chance to keep them from entosisn without killing the primary fleet first or without having them bound somewhere else but those strategies will evolve over the next 2-3 months i think, maybe do some little tweaks fast but gather more info and more experience is my recomendation

Edit: how aobut putting salvage, industrial jobs being run, research, maybe even POS-reactions/moonmining or PI as indyindex-upgrades?

I have played this game off and on for years i recently came back and was getting ready to quit again then this Agis sov came into play and i like it it forces more fights for pvp and my small group can take and hold a sov with out having to have a blob of caps i notice the ones complain the most are the large alliances with systems they are not even occupying as a seasoned player of eve i believe this is one of the best additions to eve the new sov allows smaller alliances to move into null sec capture and hold space and give me more stuff to do

Thank you for this awesome addition to game play!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Glad to hear that you are enjoying it. I hope to see more posts like this from people who are giving it a try.

New sov is fun. Althoght the larger alliances continues refusing to surrendering sov on
unoccupied systems, we continue fighting them massively out numbered.

Release the space you dont live in Pure Blind.
Dont and suffer the consequences of entosing and coming to protect them.

And stop whining for trying to protect space you dont live in.
Its your fault!

Sov is working as intended.

I say this a is a big distortion of the truth. You dont need that many to rat and mine it and keep the index level.
You only need to do this if you want to raise the the index level from very low to very high level by doing 2/3 days of work.
Which is what you guys did in Pure Blind in several systems.

20 man fleet is more than enough to keep index level up. You dont even need that number. The renters are doing it in N-H32Y, EL8-4Q and JC-YX8 and the most they ever have had is 5 people per system and the index level is nearly maxed out.
So please dont lie. Or are you trying to tell me that CFC dont know how to keep their index level and a section 8 corp(renter) does

This is exactly why all the whining its happening.

This article is for player feedback. It's turning into a CFC tear-bath. Why you guys so mad?

This coming from the alliance that highlights the problems best. We show up in capitals, immediately after we leave you guys bring out 30 interceptors to roam Deklein. All of your Sov capture events so far have been in frigates/interceptors.

After not being able to play for a while I finally got to test out fozziesov over the weekend. Two defensive ops in which the only actual action I saw was a sabre pilot messing up his aggression timer on a gate trying to delay our fleet. Other than that it was nothing but interceptors zooming around trying to divert our attention from the strategic objectives. I've been told by other members of the corp that the mechanics are great for forcing fights/responses when you are out roaming hostile space.

What I'm taking away from this is that the fozziesov mechanics, in their current iteration, are great if you are not actually interested in holding sov but just want to provoke fights/defensive responses, but if you are interested in actually holding sov it becomes a bit of a chore. Back when this was all first announced I was being cautiously optimistic about these mechanics possibly leading to more skirmishes between fleets in the 50-100 man ranges, which is something I enjoy participating in. But so far it seems it's nothing but entosis ships fit around the purpose of outrunning anyone trying to catch them and cheap throwaway frigates. I like the system at its very core but numbers need tweaking, badly.
