Not docking in enemy system stations is a huge mistake. the rest looks pretty fun


Because letting 'ZE GERMANS' into port to allow them to repair only to have them shoot at us when they leave is a great way of doing things

COME AT ME BRO

I'LL JUST BE DOCKED IN THIS STATION

I don't think "the ports/stations" are owned by the factions.

They are owned by private corporations which have varying ties to the factions. Unless they change every npc corp that owns the station every time a system gets flipped some of these private corps will have ties with the enemy.

On the subject of maps, you really should get CCP thinking about the Amarr-Minmatar system layout Hans.

There are too many chokepoints at the moment!

Some of the chokepoint gates are regional gates, and very hard to camp successfully; these ones don't need changing.

e.g. Kourmonen - Auga, Vard - Ezzara, Hofjaldgund - Dal,

However, there are some other non-regional gates that totally dictate movement across the whole zone.

Hofjaldgund - Eszur and Frerstorn - Ardar are the main cuplrits.




On this point I think its pretty clear that the minmatar will have some advantage if Docking rights are really taken away if a system is occupied by the enemy.

http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Amarr_VS_Minmatar#sec

Minmatar will always have 2 key staging points that Amarr will never be able to do anything about. Specifically Egghelende which means minmatar will alway be past the hofjalgund choke point. And Gratesier which means they will always be able to base right in our back yard.

Unless CCP intended to specifically give minmatar an advantage these maps were not designed with the idea that you would entirely lose docking rights if a system was taken.

Edit: Actually I guess its not so bad since we have akkio in Minmatar's back yard. But all the same It would be more even if we had a choke point past the hofjalgund chokepoint or at least one into that dal-vard-siseide cluster.



When I made this post I was thinking that we would not be able to dock in systems controled by the other race that were not part of the faction war front. I think I was wrong on this but it would be nice to know for sure.

For example will an amarr fw pilot be able to dock in Rens? Dodixie? Egghelende (lows sec system that is part of gallente space and not in either faction war front)? Gultratren (low sec minmatar system not part of fw space.)

I assume Amarr will not be able to dock anywhere caldari cant dock within gallente amarr faction war space.

If this change is going through I have lots of stuff to move so if ccp could let us know it would be nice.
