I would ideally like to see jump timer replaced with a reduced utility modifier. Ex: Instead of being forced 7 days to jump, you simply have a x% reduction in all damage, remote reps, self reps, nuet ability, etc). And limit it to a max of something reasonable like 50%. Let us keep jumping for fights. What would CCP think of something like this change?

The affect that jump fatigue had on my playstyle was servere and although a lot of you dont agree with hotdropping as a passtime in eve, its no longer possible to play that way with the time i have available in an evening. Since my after work wind down (eve) has changed for the most part to other more time efficent games because of fatigue, I no longer really have the motivation to play at weekends as any action i get then may stop me playing at all for the next week if i do get the chance.

In the face of recent events, I would like to think that CCP values its vets and following the anouncement of this thread i am excited to see the playerbase respond with its suggestions and possibly even the chance to play eve again the way i love it. Taking much loved content from your bread and butter players with 4+ accounts is not a good buisness stratergy... if there are no players left, who will buy the skins your making all your money on right now? 30 day trial chars? i think not.

I like the idea of removing fatigue in exchance for an extended fixed jump drive cooldown period and ranges for dreads, supers and carriers to be extended back to its old value. This would alow the big TiDi entities to get to their fights within a reasonable timeframe and move ops to be less painful for smaller groups. It would also bring back more local hotdropping and blops with triage as it is know, loved and feared throught eve. With the recent removal of the need to fight for sov or indeed anything at all, I think that the jump changes are just another way of stopping fights happening. It was these huge super brawls that got eve in all the news and setting records dont forget! I also hate the lack of options available on jump routes now, not only has a move op to help a friend taken me almost 2 weeks i have to use systems now perma camped and set up to catch heavy assets.

I know were not desputing thera here, but with that WH acting as a instant free no fatigue titan bridge to almost anywhere in eve, any changes to titan bridge/jump range and the fatigue it generates is minimal as its no longer the fastest way of getting to a fight unless its at very close "intended" ranges.

If you ain't gonna listen to me the first time I'm not gonna tell you again.

I think it might be worth screening the questions to remove the deliberately agenda'd ones. Entering a question that submits the answer itself isn't going to do anything valuable, and will just waste CCP's time.

For my own questions:

The changes have seen a renaissance for the use of Capitals by low-sec groups in low-sec. Does CCP think this is a good thing?

If they plan to increase jump range, (with attendant impacts on low-sec), how do they plan to mitigate this?

Also, Sugar, you tease, sneaking this around :P. <3

Most capitals are already going to be on grid for 5 minutes anyways (siege or triage cycle) but something like 10 minutes would be a more balanced idea

This is a great idea, but people can ask a valid question and propose a possible answer at the same time.

Will you also be trawling for potential mechanic's changes from this thread to supplement questions?

What are the overall statistics for capital and super-capital participation in combat, before and after phoebe? Have they been participating in fights more, less, or about the same? Some of us are certainly using them less. Have they seen more use by smaller entities who are less afraid of a response from one of the major alliances?

What aspects of the player base's response to Phoebe are what you expected, and what has surprised you?

Which goals of yours for introducing phoebe are being met, and which aren't, and what adjustments do you think you could make to meet more of them?

The problem comes when people answer their own question, as if it is the only answer.

Still, I think Ammzi has the best question so far.

I'd like to see an answer to "Which issues can CCP currently identify with the existing jump mechanics?"

I would also like to see "What successes has CCP identified with the new jump mechanics?"

Dont worry until we call the whole thing off because of one persons approch. ;)

These are good questions, but there seems little point in only trying to find out what CCP thinks about these mechanics.

Generating additional questions with either possible mechanics or questions about implementation so far.

Edit: also, I did sat proposed, but I take you point on people saying their way is the only way.
