So, I was wondering. Lately CCP have been talking alot about an overhaul of null sec mechanics, laying out a 5 year road map and by all signs the intent was to focus the winter expansion on null sec issues.
What I found immediately striking about Zulu's preliminary feature list blog was that null sec doesn't seem to be getting the level of focus I expected. I was very surprised to see factional warfare on the list. Pleasantly surprised, but surprised.
So I'm wondering, where does a sov overhaul figure in the plans? Is this 'starbase logistics' part of the expansion the central null sec aspect for winter? Some say a moon goo nerf cometh, is it a major reworking of starbases (POS) as we know them? A capital ship rebalance could well have major impact on how null sec is played atm, but that alone is not going to shake up the whole gameplay as we will still be forced to shoot structures alot and be tied to reinforcement timers.
Has a new sov system been pushed back a bit in the release planning? http://uglebsjournal.wordpress.com/ |

I think that the more immediate 0.0 and Sov changes might revolve around the Capital/Super rebalance on this first pass. |

when it comes to ccp, the first pass is the only pass
unless of course it's a feature nobody wants but you need for a different game |

Yeah thats kind of my point, rebalancing capitals is certainly part of the puzzle, but I had expected this winter expansion to be more much more heavily focused on null sec than it seems to be. I'd like to know if that is a slight(?) change of direction and when we might expect to see changes to the actual sov mechanics coming through. http://uglebsjournal.wordpress.com/ |

Fixed that for you. Zero-sec sucks so bad because there is no room for new. Nothing CCP does will change that. Didn't see "small installations in 0-Sec ripe for plunder" on their list. Must be my eyes. |

Already been explained. They want to make Faction Tower drops 'better balanced'.
At least that is the official reason.
(Before that there was a hint they had accidentally been left off the loot tables, but probably not an accident in light of the latest comments). |

thx much for the info, my fear was that they were phase one of non vanity nex items (not trolling) i figured they'd do those since they're appeal solely to richer people who could just as easily buy some plex with their isk, make them into aurum and buy a faction tower bpc etc. im glad to know that it was just a rebalancing and not aurum meddling |

you are going to find most of the overhaul initially will be with ships and modules to get more balanced combat.
Next time dialation is needed more.
But one thing that will happen is moon balancing will need to be done. |

Time dilation=gave up on fixing lag so they made it a game feature.
Capital balancing=New FOTM. Also, DRF will build more of it than anyone else.
We still haven't seen the "full" deployment of Incarna and it's halfway to Winter----but these are the people who make you wait two years to fly a titan. Surprised much? |

I agree with making ppl wait 2 years to fly superweapons tbh. The easier they are to train an alt for then the more you will end up with in game. SC's are too easy to get into IMO. http://uglebsjournal.wordpress.com/ |
