I don't see why you wouldn't just set a static jump cooldown timer to that value and just call it a day.
Why use this insane system where people can lock their characters for 30 days? As a penalty for playing your game? In what world does this make sense?
If you lock your character for thirty days then you are doing it on purpose or you don't understand how to properly jump. If you wait out the jump fatigue after every single jump then you can do the jumps in the devblog example in under 14 hourssss!!!!!
So again, if you reach the limit then you deserve it |

This seems to us like it solves the "I want to recruit people to nullsec" concern, and also gives non-nullsec recruiters an easier way to get genuinely new players to the right location easily.
Thoughts? Pasting this into the FAQ and also trying to get it into the blog proper.
Greyscale, doubt this will be seen, but since compared to Fozie and Rise you actually do post in your threads and seem to listen to reason, I'm going to give it a shot anyway.
I really don't understand the need for this nerf/mechanic in the first place. I agree with most people that as the years have progressed the sandbox keeps getting smaller and smaller for the "allowed" behavior. I honestly think that this previous mechanic already had some balance to it. Moving by death by clone already has a cost associated with it, clones aren't cheap especially when you get to the 100mil sp range. You do this a couple times in a day and the cost is going to be significantly more than what it would have been in fuel to move a cap. Keep in mind as well that even if you do this, that cap had to get to your staging point somehow. Ships don't magically appear with when you pod jump...
Personally, what I would like to see is that you guys hold off on this change and wait till things settle down a bit to determine if making this change is really even needed. Remember that you guys wanted to up the isotope cost of traveling because you thought pos usage was going to go way down in Cruis. It was mentioned numerous times that you guys should hold off until things settled down on that front before making a change like that. In this case I think you might be trying to change too much too quickly.
Full discloser, I haven't been in null since 2008ish and have never used this "feature" in the first place. I'm curious if you guys have numbers on much its used currently and if part of the reason for this change is that you wanted to get rid of it in spite of the cap movement issue. I will agree with others that one year is way to harsh. Its not like re doing your attribs beneficial. Once a quarter seems like a good middle ground. |

Then think about how this affects small corps running pos based industry in quiet areas of low sec that are not even going to have the man power any more to make the jf jumps required to manage the business. Maximum fatigue on a JF jump is 1.5. This takes 15 minutes to clear, max. You can still haul 10+million m3 of stuff between null and high every month - it just takes longer to do.
You could decrease the amount of material moved by producing more stuff locally and importing less.
And yes, I realize some stuff can't be produced locally - or at least not easily. This is where you should probably focus your slower jump-based logistical lift capacity.
Besides, I imagine that a BNI freighter convoy from low to null escorted by 1000 Moas / Eagles would be a helluva sight to see. We Gallente have a saying: "CCP created the Gallente Militia to train the Fighters..." |

Jump in, engage your target. Wait five minutes (most of that time should be reduced while you were killing your target)
Jump out with no fatigue.

You said earlier that fatigue modifiers were already possible in the code but I think a ton of people would be happy with a sliding scale based on ship sizes with a few special case exceptions:
0.10 : JF, Rorqual, Blockade Runner 0.20 : Frigate, Noob Ships 0.25 : Blackops BS, Cloaky Recons, Cloak Sub t3 (maybe start all Cloaky ships higher (.4?) and have a ~7.5% reduction by skill level in Recon, t3 offensive, blops skill) 0.30 : Destroyers 0.40 : Cruiser, Non-Cloaky T3 0.50 : Battlecruiser 0.70 : Battleship, Freighter 0.85 : Carrier 0.90 : Dread 1.00 : Super 1.10 : Titan
This would make it easy to quickly get your frigates deployed, then cruisers, then then fights would escalate progressively. That said, if you live close and can get your heavy ships in quickly you'll likely hold the field. Also, a sliding scale could work to stratify Carriers, Dreads, Supers, Titans and promote natural fight escalations. This idea would encourage both sides to 'flood' the battlefield with as many small ships as possible, rather than making pick to counter your enemy. Don't get me wrong, having more pilots on the battlefield is a valid tactic, but I'm not sure that's what CCP is aiming for. Unified jump fatigue is better because it doesn't discriminate. Jump Freighters are an expection because without them null-sec industry will fall apart. It would also stagger when diverse forces arrived on the battlefield, pushing smart players to all use the same types of ships and penalizing less in-the-know players by breaking up their fleets and making them easy pickings. Probably not something CCP wants to do. Awesome self-quote in 3... 2... 1... Ok, GO!

my group bases out of a high sec island surrounded by lowsec and we arnt near a trade hub.. we do just fine using t2 indys to run our cargo around.. it has me nerv racked going through systems with a dozen guys that are confirmed wanting to kill us.. but we manage..
i kinda like this new patch.. if you want to feel the real value of your cargo hold.. fly it around in space.. like the guys with plex in their cargo hold did.. 20$-1800$ thrown away while flying around with their cargo.
now dont get me wrong.. we use a rorqual and we dont mine local cuz every1 knows you dont $#!T where you eat unless you a bear. and this change WILL make our ninja mining ops a little more of a hassel.. anyone who catches wind of where we currently mine will know that a rorqual comes and goes and now that means we need to setup a base to hide inside and we gotta bring water to the slaves who row the oars of the jump drive..
but i digress.. in the end a change is coming and we must adapt or see what we built die off. and by death i mean either we fall back and change the plan.. or we fall outta eve and check out that new game S.C... u know |

The year is way too long, still. While you're still newish (beyond the 30 days but less than a year), you might switch corps multiple times within that year, looking for a group that fits you and your playstyle.
This should be controlled by a POS module. Install the POS module in a system and you can set your med clone to a station in the same system. Limit it so that each corp can only have one such module and that it requires a director to online. When you leave a non-NPC corp, there's a 24-48 hour cooldown on being able to set your clone to your new corp's home. When the module is installed and onlined, it should have a timer 24-48 hours before anyone can set their clones there. Let's call this thing a DNA Bank.
This has the following benefits:
1. It's player controlled. 2. It has built-in abuse prevention. 3. It creates gameplay. See your enemy go for deployment? Sneak in and put their DNA Bank in reinforce, forcing them to either all jump back and defend it, or be unable to easily return home after deployment. Or, if you're going on deployment, try to set up a POS on the front line, then set a DNA Bank so your corp can easily get their. But, if someone comes in and starts blowing up your stuff, you're not going to be able to easily get back.
Justify it in-world by saying the DNA Bank has a repository of all your corp member's DNA information, everything needed to grow new clones. It interfaces with the clone shop on the station, transmitting what's needed to get a new fresh clone ready for use. |

Yes because doing the jumps in the Dev Blog in 14 hours is totally reasonable!!
Since you'll not get the point here I'll elucidate: We can still put a serious dent into power projection without going to this extreme. The problem with power projection is that people will hot drop from half a galaxy away in a few minutes. You don't need to make jumping several times take days or even weeks to solve that problem.
To be clear for the completely dumb, chances are that 14 hour jump time the previous commenter noted will likely mean you take 2 days to do it. If you have to jump even more, for example you are doing logistics work, it will take several days if you are moving several loads.
Or, as I noted previously big alliances/coaltions will get around the problem by using multiple pilots and station traing the ships with full cargo bays. Smaller alliances and/or groups with newer players...they'll suffer the most. |

It'll have a hugely chilling impact on industry across new eden and create massive market distortions. It'll force everyone to contract their deployments to as close to highsec as they possibly can get and put all major powers concentrated at those staging points into null sec.
It will only allow "neighbor vs neighbor" combat, so better hope your neighbor provides decent combat because moving to a new neighborhood will be practically impossible. It'll prevent escalation and make the metagame lame and uninteresting.
It'll end B-R's and related mega-events in the game that drove so much new player inflow.

What's the problem with there existing major powers and minor powers? Why must all powers be equally crappy?
Are we sure we need nuclear level changes immediately? Why aren't the changes starting small and escalating based on evaluation of the impact? Why start top end and readdress after a spring of rage?
Why are we repeating the same sort of mistakes CCP has made time and time again with its poorly thought out and poorly metriced major shakeups? |

Point 2 seems to be contradicted by point one. You just said deathclone back and forth followed by saying that most people wouldn't do it a couple times a day.
I'm not disagreeing with your points per se though, just that I'm still not seeing a real need to change this "feature" |

Also, when I think further on this matter: this change kind of robs the players of an endgame. I can still remember getting my first bs, capital and supercapital. With this change caps and supercaps become kind of obsolete. What do new players have to look forward too then? Ships that are worthless/no fun to fly? 1. Just because you don't like the solution, doesn't mean it's not a solution to the problem they're looking to solve. None of the changes as written introduce boredom IMO. If you choose to sit on your hands waiting all the time rather than using the mechanics available - you know, gates - then that's your own fault, not CCP's. 2. This is a sandbox. There is no predefined endgame. 3. If you want to fly bigger and bigger ships with shinier and shinier mods (because PURPLE!) then go right ahead. If that's how you define your endgame, there's noone stopping you from doing it. If, on the other hand, you feel that entitles you to mapwide instant gratification, well... that I have an issue with. 4. Supers and Titans will still have a role. Invulnerable hotdropo'clock mobiles won't be it - but they will have a role. Inventive players (which may or may not include you) can probably find all kinds of ways to use them effectively. Like, say, notice they have Clone Vats and SMAs.

Timers won't be affected by TiDi iirc per CCP Nullarbor.
The amount of time to get back down to 0 depends on the ~maths~ and some other factors (i.e. is that 5LY J from a cooldown of 0? etc.). LeeSsang. Never Forget. |

Sorry but you are clearly and totally missing the point here mate. Put yourself in the shoes of the line member of any entity in NPC or sov null corp and move around the map say 50 LY safely with your two subbed accounts without wanting to suicide yourself or biomass the **** out of your character.
The purpose / intent of these changes is spot on. Limit power projection.

60 minutes. Your fatigue level will be 6 after a 5 LY jump (light years jumped + 1). That fatigue level drops by 0.1 every minute. So to get it back to zero will take you 6/0.1 = 60.
Of course, you can just wait till it is below 1 in which case 51 minutes in which case it will be 0.9. Then the multiplicative effects are avoided. |

What's the problem with there existing major powers and minor powers? Why must all powers be equally crappy?
Are we sure we need nuclear level changes immediately? Why aren't the changes starting small and escalating based on evaluation of the impact? Why start top end and readdress after a spring of rage?
Why are we repeating the same sort of mistakes CCP has made time and time again with its poorly thought out and poorly metriced major shakeups?

This is an incremental change. They've already said there will be more done down the road to work towards some murky unexplained goal. In CCP We Trust. *shrugs*
This is not incremental in how it affects the targeted player segment, as well as the unintended consequences to New Eden. Don't misunderstand, their development model is incremental; but the impact of the proposed Phoebe update for Capitals is anything but incremental.
If the second decade of EVE is turning it into a themepark styled sandbox then be careful who you "Trust. *shrug*", because in a few years time it my be all of your hard Meta-level work that is suddenly found under the axe.
It's like the minute CCP lost it's economist and a few developers, everyone who got promoted also got stupid? Seems like the 'Stewardship CCP' just gave way to the 'OP Dev-Crush-It-with-a-Viking-Hammer CCP' |

Seriously, please do understand that making people wait in front of a computer screen for a timer to tick down is not
''Playing a game''
it is torture / job / a chore / cleaning toilets / unpleasant experience
So if that is what you desire for the future of Eve Online please do us all reasonable people a big favour and go **** yourselfie
See its not how you should play EVE, currently thausends of players are waiting in stations spinning ships, just to hear later "we are standing down". You will not need to wait, take your fleet go out and fight, no need to wait for anything, no "blue balls", no nothing, just good old fun! Sorry but you are clearly and totally missing the point here mate. Put yourself in the shoes of the line member of any entity in NPC or sov null corp and move around the map say 50 LY safely with your two subbed accounts without wanting to suicide yourself or biomass the **** out of your character. The purpose / intent of these changes is spot on. Limit power projection. The idea / method proposed is not.
What are you talking about, if you fly 50ly just to have some fights, thats whats wrong with EVE right now, that should never ever be the case!
1. Deploy 2. Fight
No need for 50ly jumps. Problem solved. |

Why is it so bad that your supply chain can actually get disrupted now in 0.0? |
