Well done CCP, one step forward, 2 steps back. Straight

Regeneration only occurs if no one bothers to show up for the timer. Have you considered committing to your attempts at sov conquest?
Have you considered patrolling your own space ?

We do.

So, now that all gates will be bubbled to **** to prevent entosis. When will you start add a limited timer for bubbles to be in space? SO ppl at least have to put an effort in to keeping their entrances bubbled

Do they not have cynos or wormholes where you live?

One bit of feedback. I would increase the timer from 20 minutes to 4 hours. Otherwise I can see waiting for all other fulldirs to go to bed and nuking stuff in the middle of the night. I don't know what harm a 4 hour timer does other than meaning you can't start it 4 hours before DT.

I am delighted to hear that CCP is moving to a weekend only subscription model.

I await the lowering of the subscription cost by a factor of 5/7th and the limitation on all sov and pos structures to exit rf during the weekend.


Punishing people for paying your game for a couple of hours every night remains stupid. The fatigue limit should be set at 24 hours, though the cumulative effect on the jump reactivation timer should continue to scale. This allows for people to play each day, but would prevent the dogpiling and such that fatigue wishes to prevent.

Will there be a 'self-destruct' option for outposts that puts them into freeport mode?

Edit: Also I understand that stuff like self-destruct and capture regen need time to be programmed in, but why do we have to wait 7 weeks for you to change a static variable from 30 to 5?

No, It was to stop someone from going from one end of the universe to the other in 5 minutes, destroy an alliance, and go back home in one night.

The "timer" on a bubbled stargate already exists, and is directly linked to the DPS output of the ship you're trying to get through it.

Something like a 'Abandon ownership' option? We don't have anything like that planned, but it is an interesting idea. What sort of situation would you see this being used for?

The "timer" on entosis also exists already: it's called: undocking and doing something for your space. But CCP "fixed" that one, so maybe this one might get fixed as well.

Took you guys long enough to understand what mess you got yourself and US paying customers into. You should have never released this mess in the broke state you did. It is a SMALL first step to fix it.
Please keep it up and push for faster changes. This is not enough to bring FozzieSov to a semi usefull state.

Provi Invasion and MoA trolling should give you enough fancy statistics of your epic failure.

So your entire complaint is that gatecamps don't work against them, which meant that you couldn't dominate a constellation and prevent all entosis from taking place by holding onto the first choke point you come across with one big blob? The subsequent skirmish warfare that Entosis contests required were my favorite thing about the new sov system. Straight Granted, you can still do the same thing by using a Titan bridge, but the threshold for bypassing gatecamps is going up.

Unless I've read incorrectly, it will be necessary to be able to willingly freeport an outpost/conquerable station to transfer it.

One could also want to freeport it for its own sake. Unlikely, but potentially desirable.

If we want to give a station to someone. Or just want to give up the space to whoever because defending it is too annoying.

Same reasons we would want to self destruct a sov structure.

These are all good changes. In general I think "ban x feature from y ship" is at best a band-aid, but it's a good first start.


I have to agree with this. A number of different options could have had the same effect while having a much more broader positive change. Like, increased align time, mass increase, no prop mod activation, and reduced top speed (a little of each, not a lot of each) would have prevented the problems with interceptors trolling sov, as well as other slippery targets, while still letting interceptors be viable for capping sov for uncontested or grid-controlled areas.

Also I think the new jump fatigue cap is interesting...but perhaps too generous? From the blog...

Jump fatigue was supposed to prevent caps from racing along from this side of the universe to the other and nuking a carrier before heading home and doing the same thing 20 mins later.

It was not supposed to make all cap pilots want to biomass, nor make then utterly worthless outside of 10ly, but congrats to CCP for achieving that subcap stretch goal as well.

As a pilot wanting to jump his CAPITAL SHIP, in his PRIME TIME, more then 10 ly, this once a week deal still seems a mite bit raw.

Good thing the dominant ship in the meta right now can conveniently fit for interdiction nullification.

Or to transfer it to renters more easily?
