EVE General Discussion

sounds like you need better intel.

With proper information you should know if your entire battlegroup is needed or not.

I'd suggest hiring people in the alliances you're worried about to provide you information, or planting some of your own yourself.

Good luck

Functionally there is extremely little difference between POS SOV and aegissov.

You have multiple "health bars" that you have to burn before the system flips.
It doesn't matter that that health bar is a timer instead of an HP pool nor does it matter that weapon used is fixed "dps" the mechanic is identical. Capture multiple targets /win.

This is not a knock against it.. it works for the most part. It is, however, a reason behind why many bittervets subconsciously hate it. It's something we've seen before.. and its even more boring than previously due to the lack of KMs and "things happening".

I understand the devs spent a great deal of time working on this project and honestly I thank them for the effort.. However its obvious that a considerable amount of concessions were made. It would have been better, in this case, to scrap the whole darn thing and come up with an entirely new system.. even if it failed utterly it would have been "new" and thus interesting.

TLDR:
Aegissov is POS without having to capture 50 fking moons. It works.. but there are better alternatives.

Tell that to my now functionally useless (or at least greatly compromised) capital ships.

Aegis sov is more akin to competitive PvE, where you need to (hey, hi Karmafleet member!) stuff as many bodies in every system you own to keep indexes high. People ratting and mining are more important than the number of capitals and batphones you can get over a pos fight - and that is pretty much why many are not in the AegisSov fanclub. Think of how dumb it sounds that the best way to defend your sov is to mine out belts and throw away the ore, whereas structure bashes at least were the pretext of some pretty nice fights.

Have a look at Sov. Seems to be working as intended.. of course it needs tweaks but it's doing what should of been done years ago making alliances only keep what the can defend and willing to look after.

Double.post

This "blue doughnut" was only the result of huge rental programm and pretty much is.

It seriously sounds like some minigame from WOW and not something from a sandbox game

In the end is there really a difference between nullsec carebears and hisec carebears? They whine about the same things and get CCP to nerf them and then whine some more.

The parallels are actually quite striking come to think of it! It's just different people.

Hmmm, or is it?

Its boring as ****.

Fozzie sov have made me miss pos sov. As least back then caps were used on a regular basis rather then crappy shoot the lone inty thing that is now.
