Your massive shakeup may happen, simply because reality changed and what was once effective now isn't. The question is what happens after the shakeup, and the answer is: continued stagnation. This is basically a one-shot deal that will buy you a few months of null-sec dynamics, and then the carrier and JF alts finish training/being purchased and we're back at where we started, only now the game is more annoying.
The truth is this change has little to do with the state of null-sec. |

This is only the first step of many, EVE will progress, as it will progress after November. Stagnation is only if we dont let it progress as many are trying now by stopping this great changes. Evolve, adopt, and EVE will survive. |

Do the math please, its exactly how it is now, there is very little fatigue for moving close ranges.
But if I'm not mistaken, under the current proposal, all jumps are considered the same in terms of location and cool down. I think that you should have free and unpenalized movement within a constellation, and only a small if any cool down to change constellations within a region, but heavily deterred in changing regions with a cool down timer. The cool downs should be location based, not range based. It would solve the problem of every day logistics within a home region, not burden a logistics pilot with a cool down for a fleet later that requires he fly a carrier or dread, while making rapid movement map wide much longer. If the goal is to promote using the space you're currently in, there should be relatively unrestricted movement range/cool down time within realistic ranges, not arbitrary distances.

(Only log in for super cap fight at some IHUB somewhere). If they do sov right, then alliances that decide to play LoL instead of Eve will risk losing their space. That alone would be worth all these changes.

Get it?
As for breaking things up in Null, this is not going to do it.
Yes it will. This provides exactly the opportunities someone will need to stab a blue in the back. And it removes the incentives for people on opposite sides of the game to be blue with each other. I think you are a bit out of touch with the current state of null politics. While various null entities have various treaties/agreements they are not all blue to each other. Way to go avoid the entire point of the post. This will result in a massive shakeup of whatever agreements and standings exist. New blues will be made, olds will go away, new agreements will be established and old ones will go away. It's all about opportunity. There is none with magic capships instantly everywhere online. There is with these changes. Period. Asserting that something has to happen is far from a reaonable or logical argument...but then again this is the Eve O forums where things like, "Your tears are delicious" counts as a post of the highest calibre. v0v
This isn't a simple math equation.
The proof and evidences you're looking for simply do not exist. You're being obstinate and avoiding the topic trying to insinuate anyone will possibly be able to see all the effects of a balancing action.
All we can no for certain is what we see now. The status quo. And understand what contributes to it. Which in the case of inter-regional coalitions, is the ability for people to near-instantly attack, defend and react to multiple issues across all of space.
I'm not asserting something has to happen. I'm telling you the conditions that exist today are apparent and these changes can contribute to an environment where that can change. Nothing more.
And yes, your tears are truly delicious your inability to discuss the issue with any relevance or logic is not. "The unending paradox is that we do learn through pain." |

Joachim Weiss wrote:While the end result seems to be promising in terms of shaking things up, I feel as if the timers and ranges need to be addressed. I couldn't possibly pretend to figure the proper math, but my general ideas would be that jumping within a constellation is penalty free, changing constellations within a region can incur some penalty, but nothing that would impact local travel significantly, while changing regions would incur a great penalty, thus deterring rapid movement across the galaxy, but letting local inhabitants do the logistics needed within the region without any great worry of burn out or timers.
This would also even the playing field with capitals when it comes to fighting/invasions in single region combat. As once you move capitals to the target region, with plenty of delays to get there, both the home and defenders would have the same range and freedom of movement.
If this has been suggested already, I apologize, nobody can be expected to keep up with this thread.
Not quite. This is only true if you carefully manage your fatigue so that your fatigue levels drop under 1. Otherwise you end up on where successive jumps have a multiplicative effect on fatigue and the fatigue function becomes exponential. If you don't manage your fatigue, even when jumping in a constellation, you can end up with significant fatigue and be stuck. Fortunately the distances in a constellation are kind of small...at least for the few systems I checked. Although looking at the Kalevala Expanse the constellations there seem a bit more spread out... |

The strategy will be to do your logistics before any timers like 12h before so even ~20ly distances are cooled down. Sure logistics will need to adopt but what CCP is trying to do is to stop making EVE into an "instant action" game, there a hundrets of online games better suited for that. And I think you will find that those changes are also benificial for groups like BL with minor adjustments, because once you deploy to a region you will be able to do your "hot drops" in that region, just plan a little ahead and create rules for logistics/fight drops.
On the other hand you will see groups like Black Frog Fright created, adopt and evolve, that will be there to help with your burden of all day logistics. |

Never said it was a simple math equation. If anything it is likely a game theory question. Nor am I looking for proof. I'm looking for something other than a simple assertion. Saying it will break up the big blocks is about as convincing as simply asserting it will kill Eve.
Might one of the big blocks collapse? Sure, but that could happen even without these changes.
Will these changes pose new problems to the existing blocks? Of course, but these same blocks have shown themselves to rather adept and adapting. Given that these changes will effect both the defender and the attacker it isn't clear it will do much of anything.
Now, after these changes will each side be watching other looking for an opportunity? Yes. Will these changes mean that they will be looking for different opportunities? Again yes. However, I submit that this was true last month...that is nothing fundamental has changed. That is the current state of a cold war will continue until there is a percipitating event...just like it has been.
Now, will there be more roaming due to this change? I sure hope so. That would be a welcomed change. But roaming probably wont lead to one of the blocks attacking the other. In fact, that kind of additional content might help move the date of the next Great War a bit further back since both sides will be having fun roaming, starting the Great War to keep one block's players engage may be less of a ThingGäó. |

You can't physically get rid of TiDi if you are trying to allow all pilots to enter a single node (and that is a key Marketing ploy, err, feature that CCP insists on touting, even if it really is just an outright falsehood in practicality) - Server and Internet technology is not advanced enough to do that.
I dunno if anyone has actually calculated it out, but even with infinitely capable servers the speed of light limit might actually even put getting rid of TiDi as complete impossibility so long as all players are not in the same room with the servers. TiDi was a brilliant solution that at least allowed the servers to survive a node blob onslaught. Without TiDi you can kiss the server goodbye - because single shard and sandbox marketing says everyone has the right to be in that one system. I'll say it again - you cannot get rid of the need for TiDi with server changes under the current marketing of EVE.
So, given that nodes and the internet are not infinitely capable - you have to address node blobbing (nobbing anyone?) with game mechanic changes, of which this power projection nerf is a partial solution. They're about to put up the stop sign to keep one side of the server universe from nobbing the other side of the server universe on a whim. The power projection nerf is not a total fix. Whatever the complete solution is, it will have to force blob battles to spread out across multiple nodes in such a way that they do not require real time interaction between the nodes. Once you break that dependency TiDi can take a much needed holiday.
This did bring up a thought - if CCP's real intent is to kill the need for TiDi so they can use much cheaper servers. CCP .. always first with the wrong stuff CSM .. CCP Shills with a vacation plan
