In case the strawpoll was lost: http://strawpoll.me/2686971
Matches up pretty well with this leviathreadon, slight majority for the change, ~10% questioning things or don't know, and ~40% disagree

Although I feel that many players have voiced the same thoughts I have had about the proposed changes, I feel I should weigh in myself. I don't generally get involved with the forums, but this has the potential to impact my favourite game immensely.
In general, I find myself agreeing with the jump nerf. I see capital fleets in somewhat the same light as most governments see nukes: if we can project them onto our enemies, then they will do the same to us, and everyone loses. This was part of the reason the cold war never went hot. Theoretically, a reduction to the ability to project force can actually lead to more conflict. Thankfully, this theory hasn't really been tested in the real world. Maybe if this change leads to less conflict in Eve we can get world leaders to disarm the nukes? :)
That said, I do disagree with a portion of the proposed changes, much like others here. While I do not own a capital of any kind, my corp owns some, and I'm part of the logistics of moving them and supplying them in the somewhat rare instances that we have to move them....like when one of our members ummm...liberates... an Aeon... While the difficulty of moving liberated ships will increase for us, I am still in support of the nerf bat being applied here. Super Capital ships, traditionally, are used where the fighting is heaviest. They are slow to redeploy and are massive national assets in the real world. I find it rather odd that they are used for ratting in Eve. It just seems underwhelming to use the awesome power of a Nyx or Aeon for anything less than all-out war. This is the role they are intended for.
Something I like to participate in when conditions allow is Blops, and I am really hesitant about the new timers applying to these ships. Black Ops are supposed to be the elite, the mobile few that strike behind the enemy battle lines or ambush a supply chain, hit hard, and get out fast. They excel at disruption when used properly, and have a place in even the biggest war armada. The proposed changes really put a big chill on that whole role.
At the same time, I do see why CCP is including them in the changes. A single Blops BS could potentially (if not nerfed) bridge a fleet of cloaky T3's and support haulers a long distance (potentially across the galaxy) with no timers invoked. The T3 fleet could then dock up near the destination or jump to a POS, swap subsystems, and be ready to hit a target halfway across Eve with a much heavier force than any Blops fleet has a right to. Essentially, the problem of capital force projection would be replaced with the problem of T3 force projection. While this is not as serious a problem on the surface, remember that a capital ship takes a long time to train into, while a basic T3 pilot only takes a couple months. Picture thousands of T3's doing what the capitals are doing now. With this potential abuse in mind, I have to (sadly) admit that the nerf should apply to Blops. I'm hoping that someone can come up with an idea that allows for Blops to retain their unique niche without opening the door to massive abuse. Perhaps the timer, instead of not allowing a jump, just won't allow you to swap subsystems when jumping with Blops?
Further, I am in agreement with CCP on the issue of logistics. I do think that regular freighters should have the same rules apply to them as JF's, but so should regular haulers using bridges. They are not part of force projection, and so should not be penalized. This will allow less skilled players to participate in the logistics chain. |

@CCP Greyscale
I will keep pushing you for balance! Dont make jump range a flat number, make it scale for the size of the ship 10 ly being the max for JF and rorquals and 5 ly for titans with everyone else filling up the middle.
Also, please reconsider the fatigue for black ops and what not. Don't nerf their range
My other thought is, why not change WH spawn mechanics to offer more High sec -> Null sec wormholes or vice versa. Finding a wh from high sec to null is a lot of fun because you get the right system you can ninja some great anomolies. |

Hooray! Maybe there will be less PL and SCUM hotdropping shenanigans in low-sec after this!
Getting dropped by 10+ supercarriers from the outer reaches of null-sec because you have 5 battleships in a 20 man gang of cruisers and frigates is just bad. Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective.

Greyscale, the thought of fleeting caps on a roam, especially dreads, in K-space has been a little out of reach until now. The looming threat of the blob and my extreme dislike for Tidi has made it nothing more than a daydream.
But now you've... god this brings tears to my eyes. It's hard to imagine the mixed ships that will be in this frame not too long from now, free of Tidi, with jump routes in the top left corner of each client, but I want you to know I see them.
truly, this will be something to enjoy, and lossmails will simply be proof that I was there and had fun.

This may have been asked but f*** looking through 200 pages and i'm bad at searching.
Will jump fatigue be persistant between sales, so for example, if I buy a capital pilot off the character bazaar will any fatigue it had also be transferred or will it be fresh, I could find it really annoying to buy a nyx pilot to find out it has (say you cap it at a month) a months worth of fatigue or more is uncapped.
I understand there is obviously potential for this to also be abused by wealthy players but honestly is it really going to be worth 2 plexes to just get rid of your fatigue timer, considering the potential to f*** those buying characters on the forums. |

this makes no sense to me. How can number of mid points be largely irrelevant when every time you make a jump you add one plus the distance and the multiply? It would seem number of midpoints would exponentially increase travel time.
Also for the small guys with limited cyno alts jump lenght or more specifically number of jumps does significantly increase travel time as you have to reposition cyno alts. It's only the large alliances which are not affected by this. |

I think these proposed changes favor the defending force too much. Their enemy is probably having to make longer jumps than they do, which means that their capitals don't gain as much jump fatigue. In the event of a brawl that doesn't go their way, the defending force will be able to evac their caps via cyno more quickly than the attacking force can.
Speaking of jump fatigue and jump cooldown, are you planning on making this information available via API? I hope you are, because otherwise it would be extremely difficult for capital fleet commanders to even plan routes for their fleet because they won't know if their pilots can use their jump drives.
I'd also suggest that limiting jump fatigue so it doesn't lead to cooldowns of longer than a day would be a good idea. Alt of [redacted on advice from a reputable internet spaceships lawyer] |

ergherhdfgh wrote:A couple of notes to all the people saying adapt or die:
First off people will adapt or die that's not really a choice it's more of a state of affairs. I think what you are completely forgetting is that adapting could mean very few people living much further than 5 LY from a system with a station and a high sec connection.
I haven't read every single post but I've scanned over more than half of this so far and my subjective opinion is as far as cap ship pilots it seems that more of the big alliances are applauding this and more of the small guys are saying it's not so good. Also combat pilots seem to be more happy with this than logistics pilots.
Sure some people will start moving stuff around with escorted industrials that will happen but most likely not at a rate to make up for all of the lost JF trips. I see no way you can increase the difficulty of moving freight around null by this much and not have it affect supply and therefore pricing. For those of you saying "yay high prices I get to make ass tons of isk" The prices will be high because the volume won't be there.
I see no way that you can have vibrant local economies without the ability to transport goods to other regions for trade. This tendency to move stuff to market hubs and then back out to the boondocks is not unique to eve nor is it new. Look at your history books. Also the Jita model is how Fed Ex and UPS operate today. They move everything to central hubs and then back out to the destinations from there.
I went to Spain a few years ago shortly after they had built this huge expressway system across the country. Towns near exits to the new express way were blowing up and booming. Then I went off those expressways and traveled the old 2 lane highways and saw towns shriveling and dying. Restaurants and gas stations boarding up and closing.
We had the same thing happen here in the states in the 50's when the Eisenhower highway system made old route 66 obsolete and it eventually just shut down.
CCP isnt' building an Eisenhower expressway system. They are tearing up route 66
And to the people saying that local economies will start supplying local pilots I am just going to predict that it does not happen that way. I'm saying for the record that barring some other unannounced changes that I am not privy to this will turn anything much more than 5 LY from a system with a high sec connection into more of a ghost town than it already is.
Destructible outposts I think will only make all of this worse.
You just can't have a lot of small gang PvP going on without supplying them ships to loose. These jump mechanics nerf hauling which will effectively nerf PvP.
There is only one real commodity in this game and that is time. I think if you want to predict how things are going to shake out in this game you need to break it down to time spent earning or building ships to time spent loosing them that ratio will tell you everything. These changes are going to mean more time spent hauling, waiting out timers and building all your own stuff and less time spent PvPing. Two things:
A healthy local economy will most like provide the materials it can produce to its pilots (plenty of T1 ships) while the materials that cannot be procured there will either be found in highsec or in agreements with local groups. Keep in mind not every need will be met and this will create shortages on certain supplies and possible surpluses for others. Those are what should be traded. Because logistics just became harder, not impossible.
Secondly, this change definitely adds some landscape to null. right now null is just null. Only difference being the kinds of resources available and rat anoms. Not much diversity. With the changes it will also add an aspect of distance from empire. Deep null will truly be deep null. You will likely see smaller groups (not small, just smaller) residing in space near empire to satisfy needs they cannot fulfill themselves. And the generally increased traffic as power projection is reduced. Then you will have deep null with bigger more established alliances that dont have heavy dependence on empire trading. Now this obviously happen overnight, and with the current changes alone you wont see as hard of a drive to attract people out to deeper space, but the framework and possibility is there.
Aslo, this is more like ripping up the highway, not route 66 |

Speaking as one of the tiny guys but very old, I purely love these changes. Good work CCP! Space will be VAST again. Love it.
More specifically, I've always been uninterested in cap ships because I have no interest in being part of the huge organizations, though I've had alts in several of them briefly. And here's the thing about cap ships -- from the very earliest days of them, it has been pointless for any individual or small org to deploy them, because of the certainty that a much larger blob of them would quickly land on your head. This has kept the cap ships as the toys of the very big boys. To fly them a lot, you had to be in one of the orgs that could plausibly be expected to have a huge cap/supercap blob on call.
That's all gone now. Now anybody that can field a small cap fleet can actually put those boats on the field unless there's a bigger cap blob operating somewhere nearby. And that means more and better fights. Having caps go through gates also means more and better fights -- LOTS of them. More caps will die. Cap blobs will get smaller. ISK will evaporate. Good trends all.
I don't really care about logistics. Logistics should be hard. Anybody can pioneer a route to anywhere for a blockade runner full of mods through wormhole space; it takes about four hours max with good scanning skills, if you start from your desired destination and work backward to highsec. And that's enough logistics to put anybody into the fight anywhere in the universe. More than that is luxury.
I'm sure some of these details will be tweaked. But the overall gestalt is TRIPLE WIN AWESOME. |

I do like the idea of API for fatigue timer.
I think the current plan is to cap the fatigue at 30 and the cooldown at 3 days. If i understood it correctly. |

These changes are fantastic for reasons:
Low sec will see bigger ships, shiny ships and all sorts been used for small gang pvp. Low sec may actually see mining ops. Factional warfare's big fights have the possibility of becoming a grand battle with a large variety of ships, not just frigates destroyers and cruisers. More ISK to be made by those that supply the deeper lowsec market basically more risk/reward.
Honestly i was a bit miffed by the changes to jump freighters at first , having moved and supplied alliance ships in the past for "burn lulm" having said that these changes are positive for the whole lowsec market/industry.
In the future: Quality lowsec Moons and Poco's will become available to small alliances. Local industry will spring up. More ISK will explode! ( a battleship roam won't be considered a automatic recipe for a hotdrop). Hot dropping will have a actual risk/reward system, I can drop on this small fleet what is my exit strategy. |
