Jump bridges inequitably transfer sov into the hands of people who organize 800 person fleets who then casually jump into whatever system they would like and destroy POSes and the like.
This mechanic is entirely unfair as it provides an advantage for those who set up JBs and have a network of JBs. Not all 20 man corporations can do this.
JBs need a nerf or this game will simply become blocs of power.

Jump bridge connecting to hostile territory is best jump bridge.

Wow, good point. Maybe you should jump bridge 100 more people into this thread so you can justify whatever swill you want to add to this discussion.

Will become? I thought it already was. 2 (3 actually though I guess, but 2 of them are BFFs so I count them as one) blocks fighting each other.
Also posting to support.

Limit jump bridges to a mass of 10x the mass of the ship creating it, followed by an extended down time.

I, too, would like to see these mythical jump bridges that would allow my '800-person fleet' to jump into 'whatever system I like.' Oh, wait, those things are called 'titans,' which are much more expensive than a jump bridge network but don't require an alliance to hold sov or even have more than a handful of wealthy members.
Op clearly doesn't live in nullsec, or lives in the middle of the NC where every system has a jump bridge funded through the sale of moon goo.

It isn't necessarily the bridges themselves that is the problem, but the bridge network's reliability. Now if there was some way to interrupt the operation, and it didn't require a POS assault fleet. How come Sansha never drop that 'jump bridge jammer' module?
There is also the old favorite - Delayed Local. Would help in bridge camping and ambushing in general. ...

I tend to agree that JB's weren't exactly CCP's brightest idea but what do you propose they do against it - now it's a well established mechanic?

Change it like they've already changed dozens of well established mechanics. Hope that more people will understand that MMO's are always evolving, and that nothing is going to stay the same forever. Examples include: the old sov system, the introduction of capital ships, tech 2 and 3 technology, planets as something other than background, wormhole space, incursions... I could go on for quite a while.

Finally, I will have a good reason to return playing this game! Tired of all the 0.0 carebears using jump bridges to move around their space safely. It made camping in enemy territory too damn boring (almost no targets)

What if it was possible to, for example, shoot at the bridge for a while, and make it go offline until the defenders can repair it?
Oh, wait. ---

Well, well established mechanics get changed, updated, and removed all the time.

I think it's more that groups of 2000 players 20 jumps over shouldn't be able to willy nilly teleport into a 20v20 and back again. ;-)

And I believe groups of 20 people should get squashed like bugs when they pick fights with groups of 2000. Because you'd have to be a moron to even consider it.

Realistically, a 20v20 should be over before 2000 players can cross 20 jumps to interfere... thus they're really only picking a fight with 20 guys.

I'm talking large scale. If you decide to "invade" an empire with a few buddies, don't yell "OMFG NERF INFRASTRUCTURE AND NUMBERS" when the empire decides to defend itself and utilize the defenses it sank large chunks of cash into.
I swear, some people in EVE expect every enemy to just roll over and die without a fight. This isn't lowsec we're talking about, this is where the big fish swim.

Well if you can be like Rambo and take on thousands of ships with your one mission ship, then of course it should also apply when taking on a few hundred player ships.

You said it m8! I mean, what's the point of sinking all that ISK developing 0.0 if you can't make that space safe?

Nobody is saying that at all. What's being said is that it's far too fast to get reinforcements to wherever the SMALL fight is happening. Is a 20 man gang going to actually **** up the infrastructure of a 2000 man alliance in the 20 minutes it takes for them to get there? NO. Will they get a good fight out of it? YES. Well, they would if JBs didn't let you bridge half the alliance to the fight in 15 seconds.

who the hell goes into a large alliance's space looking for good fights? NO ONE.
These are the reasons people do it: - easy kills on ratters / missioners - sheer stupidity, leading to abrupt and anticlimactic death
The only thing that walks into an alliance's space looking for a good fight is an enemy alliance's fleet.

I'm sorry, what is your point? We are discussing ways to make it such that it isn't terminally stupid to go look for a good fight in someone's space.
