Yes, Jump Freighters would have to become a large part of move ops, still, they are expensive, not everyone has or can fly one, and if you reconsider the size of isotopes, the JF assistance potential for a big cap fleet is there but would be difficult to make.
So either prepare for the moveop or carry a buch of JFs with you and risk that they die.

Lets use Nitrogen Isotopes and Chimeras as an Example, and lets say, 1 LY = 1.000 Isotopes burned.

If you double the volume of all isotopes to 0.3 m³, a Chimera could only carry 15.000 Isotopes, meaning it can travel 15 LY with a max range of 5 LY. And a full skilled and cargo fitted rhea would carry 111924 Isotopes. which is enough for 7.4616 full fuel bays, so in a full (256 people) carrier fleet you would need 35 (34.31) cargo fitted, all 5 skilled rheas who also need fuel themselves to supply the entire fleet with one extra fuel bay, so you could calculate 35 rheas for three jumps. Traveling from 6VDT in Fountain to F2OY in Querious would take 8 Jumps without using gates.
Means you would need to carry a second fleet of approx 100 Rheas with you for this. That is worth between 600 and 700 billion ISK + Fuel.
Doesn't sound like a viable option to me.

Thats an extreme example of course, but you could also prepare fuel caches in Lowsec/NPC Null which also takes a huge amount of preparation.

However you see it, Jump Fatigue is not needed with this system. If there is something strange in your neigbourhood you can quickly react and call the ghost busters, but if the enemys are further away, you need either preparation or fueltrucks to get there in time.
Although, reducing a Supercaps (i do not like them) fuelbay would be a death sentence for them, so they should keep their fuel bays and get full jump fatigue. This would keep people from dropping the Mjöllnir on everything even with the best preparation.

Also what i posted before is related to this. If you need to prepare the whole trip all aound new eden, and you take the time to do so, why not reward it with being there quickly? Also the fueltruck Jump Freighters coming with your fleet, still get jump fatigue.

In fact, it was not a troll at, all. I just forgot to give expalantion. So here it is.
The thing with your home region and no Bridge fatigue within your own sov in your set home region is simply a reward for owning the sov, the rewards should be just as big as the costs, which is currently not balanced, currently the costs and effort are highter than the reward. And protecting space bigger than two constellations is currently a pain. Even with 2500 (paper) People. So either make it viable to live in 15 systems (2 const) with 2500 (paper) guys or make it less a pain to control a thrid and maybe forth const within one region.

You will still get a Jump Reactivation delay depending on the range you jumped, no matter if carreir jump or Bridge taken, but no fatigue. And if you switch the region via bridge you will get normal fatigue in my suggestion. Also youll get fatigue if the bridge is not in your home region and/or doesn't belong to your alliance

Range is exactly why Phoebe is good.

I can tell you right now, range is not fine in phoebe, yes it stopped the random hotdrops. At the same time what used to take 2 jumps now takes me 15, the range is amazing

I would like to propose a change in the mechanic of calculating fatigue if possible.

system load based fatigue

the more capitals jumping into a system, the more fatigue is impacted with a system similar to a tidi indicator to show system jump fatigue impact.

this will help small groups or individuals moving around and reduce large massive fleets moving across space.

one lone capital jumps to a system, very little fatigue(90-100% reduction,
massive 250 capital fleet jumps in, full or extra fatigue(100-150% of nominal fatigue)
capital systems can have special sov modules to reduce this effect.
jump bridges get a normal 50% reduction of this effect.

the system decay can be tweaked to prevent defensive abuse.

Indeed. The only reason that jump fatigue is necessary is due to the fact that jump drives are instant. If we could scrap the jump drive completely and replace it with a hyperdrive then a lot of the complexity associated with a jump drive could be removed.

I think if CCP was building things from the ground up again they wouldn't have implemented a system of instantaneous travel.

If we can open our minds to thinking outside of the box then I believe the solution is right there in front of us.

No, what it means that that I can't even fight my enemies now because they can't get in my systems and I can't get in theirs. Due to both fatigue and range its no longer possible for deployments any reasonable distance from my staging system due to both time and range. Going from home system to the edge of my region takes 5 mids, if done in one day I have 3 weeks of fatigue before I can move again. If I wanted to go further than my region it takes a minimum of a couple weeks with capitals and during that entire time im stuck and can't go back.

So yes, it means my enemies can't get to me fast, it also means I can't go outside of my own region to find fights.

I do like the idea of jump bridges having more destination options. I think this would strengthen networks without circumventing the fatigue drawbacks so much.

Ever heard of gates?

Also there seems to be a disconnect of systems that don't have enemies in them, and how far you can travel. Apparently neither party is capable of even getting to each other within a week.

Or you could use your brain and realize that you can use gates AND jump drives. Or still remains the fact that you seem to be unable to reach your enemies, and they are incapable of reaching you, which leaves this very wide space between you and your enemies, that apparently is too hard to get to. But you still own it and I assume protect it. Which is odd since it's so hard to reach.

Better yet, the idea that you somehow have a need to be able to instantly be back home, while also fighting somewhere else, possibly where someone is trying to defend their home from you.

And massive alliance my butt. Take a look at all the space in the south east. There's a pretty large chunk of people who don't belong to a super-coalition and still managed to get their tools where they are needed. And better yet, those oh so fragile caps are a little safer now, since some random bloc can't come rolling down the hill on them in the blink of an eye

Which is somewhat of a moot point, since you already stated your enemies can't reasonably tech you for fights, so moving a little closer is going to make you vulnerable to who? The dust bunnies? We already determined that you have to go very far to find a fight so moving closer to the fights should be anon issue, no?

I mean if your happy with a world where you take bridges or cynos from one end of the map, to the other, do the thing, and be back within an hour or two, I guess you like to have your cake and eat it too.

You are either lying, over-exaggerating, or are completely ignorant. These numbers you keep ripping out of your bum have a striking resemblance to what normally comes out of there.

And it doesn't start with what I what I quoted, however it does make it pretty plain to see now.
