i hope the time for capturing the command nodes will go down when it hits tranquility |

i think the timer durations are starting to grow on me. i can see how a small coordinated defending force can fend off bigger attacking force if they focus on defending their pocket of space, which is something i really like. |

It would mean no one would do anything till the end. This way there is incentive to do the sov stuff the entire time. That makes no sense, starting early ensures the most systems captured. You don't know how long it takes to take a large amount of systems do you? PL seems to have taken a lot real fast and we are only four days into the competition. Please explain what I am missing?
i think you'll find that trying to capture systems that someone is actively defending will be much harder than capturing systems now. so if you are waiting till the last moment you might be in for a surprise |

It means that there is incentive to keep trying to use the sov system instead of just giving up early on. If that was not the case then you would have four alliances team up and crush everyone else immediately and then there really isn't any test of this new sov system. Just four alliances who napped up and everyone else stopped logging into Duality to test it. To uncover bugs and such. You know, the main reason for all of this stuff. I guess I'm not explaining things well enough. I'll leave it to CCP to explain why there is a raffle if they feel like they need to.
the way it is now some alliances didn't even bother to login. |

Also do u get points for holding your own systems, or do you need to capture someone's?

There is an odd thing happening since this patch few minutes ago. Before the patch someone was trying to cap our station in 2v- and made some progress. Now after the patch i came to undo their progress, but it tells me that station is invulnerable to entosis effects. It seems that it doesn't like the fact that we are now outside vulnerability window.
Is that the intended behavior? |

the main thing that killed this competition is lack of dedication from most of the alliances that registered.

One of the latest patches broke the freeport stations capture. The nodes now seem to take into account defense multipliers from the system, and take ages to capture instead of usual 12 minutes |

i think you guys are mixing up t1 and t2 modules
t1 entosis - normal cycle time - 5 min, capital cycle time - 25 min t2 entosis - normal cycle time - 2 min, capital cycle time - 10 min
that's how multipliers work, if you start with lower base you get x times lower result the alternative would be to either increase the multiplier so it would only make sense to use t2 module on capitals, or to just give them a flat penalty, which is not something CCP likes to do iirc

yeah i just realised that you guys are complaining about the fact that capture times are not affected by cycle times, apart from initial warm up cycle |

Salem Kane wrote: What i personally find more anoying, that the cycle runs on when a node is captured. If you run a capital, and you capture the node at 5% on the next cycle, you have to stay around for another 95% = 9 1/2 minutes+1min aggro timer for jumpdrives. .
that's a good thing though, cause it increases the risk for capitals, discouraging their use (hopefully) |

so many ongoing timers someone's been slacking off
Fozzie, any ETA on the fix for defence multipliers applying to defender and freeported stations? it's kinda hard to do 20 nodes with a 6x defense multiplier |

it will depend on the indexes, but given that the base capture time of objects is close to 10 mins it will more often end cycle close to capping the node, rather than not |

I'm not saying that waiting for that contest is a good strategy for a defender, you do after all lose your current structure and all its benefits, but it is most definitely viable for an opportunist third party attacker that just so happens to be in the area. Why go through all the grinding if you can simply drop the hammer for 20 min at the end?
You do have to work for the station, though.
i agree, it hink it'd be better if tcu/ihub followed same mechanics as station.
after new tcu/ihub is launched - it should start spawning nodes in the constellation, just like the freeported station. if more than one entity is contesting sov - they should fight for those nodes, rather than trying to put a large blob on the structure itself.

CCP Masterplan wrote: When a structure becomes vulnerable, all events that are triggered as a result of that vulnerable window will use the same Activity Defense Multiplier value, until either the structure is lost, or the defender regains full control.
In more detail: When a structure ends its daily vulnerable window, it samples the Activity Defense Multiplier for the solarsystem at that point, and then schedules tomorrow's vulnerable window for the structure. This window includes the start and end time (obviously), but also the multiplier that will apply between those times (let's call that value M). Whatever happens to the index levels in the solarsystem after that will have no effect until the defenders re-secure the structure. The next day, the structure enters its vulnerable window, with capture multiplier M. If it becomes reinforced by the attackers during this window, it will then schedule the command node event using that also uses the same multiplier M. When the command nodes start spawning a day or so later, they will also use the same multiplier M that we started with.
Who's considered a defender when multiple alliances own the structure? Is it always the structure owner? Do the defense multipliers apply regardless of who owns the other structures?
Say if attacker has managed to capture one of the structures in someone's system with high indexes, will they now be benefiting from those indexes if the defending alliance tries to recapture it? |

The new system icons in top left corner are so ugly. Can we please have the old ones back?
They look like someone has done a very bad job at photoshoping the circle out. |
