They want to force direct actions that they can escalate and return it to a form of warfare they have mastered during Dominion Sov. That's not it at all. We're perfectly happy for sov to be easier to take and even for unused sov to be basically free for the taking, but the way this has been set out is too far in the other direction. One guy is enough of a threat to sov to require a response. For a mechanic that is supposed to be alliance level that's just too far. We're certainly not having issues countering. There's fits listed in this thread for ships that put an end to an interceptor's attempts at sov trolling pretty quickly and the only people we're losing sov to is ourselves. It's not difficult to counter, it's just boring to do so. The problem with it being so easy is that it's not encouraging people to take sov, it's just encouraging people to contest it and evade, hence the term "whack-a-mole sov". We certainly don't want to go back to the days of requiring a fleet of battleships a freighter and several days to take sov, but the commitment from the attacker should be at a level that most attacks on sov are serious attempts to take it. That would create real conflict which is what nullsec needs most. What you are talking about is asymmetrical, or guerrilla warfare. Attacking and not holding is the point of that type of warfare. The fact that is boring and tedious for you is the point of that type of warfare. You are being attacked in ways that you would not prefer, again asymmetrical warfare. Symmetrical warfare would mean you are attacked by similar forces in ways you prefer and are used to. Hi Sec players have been attacked asymmetrically for years by many null/low sec groups forcing them to adjust. It is interesting to see how the Null Sec power blocks are now reacting now that they can be asymmetrically attacked by sole players in a truly meaningful way they are forced to react to.
Damn. nice post !
It does seem they forgot about burn jita / amarr. Any of the larger alliances could perma-own jita if they wanted to but burn jita and now amarr was never about owning jita it has always only been about annoying those that live there and nothing else and now that highsec and other regions of EVE can annoy nullsec, nullsec goes running off to mommy with tears in its eyes telling mommy to make the bad people go away because it is ruining their fun and if they are defending their sov how are they going to find time to get back to jita to burn it and annoy the people there just for laughs, it just isnt fair mommy, it just isnt fair!
Yawn,-á I'm right as usual. The predictability kinda gets boring really.

The same could be said about Hi Sec gankers. They make the game less fun for the targets, but it adds realism and shows you that you are never safe in Eve Online.
This is Eve, ganking is allowed, so should Trollceptors, they are the same types of warfare just with different targets and goals.
Gankers have been said to be counters to the isk printers called Lvl 4s.
Trollceptors force Sov holders to only hold space where they are active. It is a counter balance to Sov Sprawl that we have seen for years.
Trollceptors will probably result in some leaving the game, but so has Hi Sec ganking. It is the nature of this game, and why it is considered so hard and visceral by many.

I am certainly a big fan of fozzie sov changes. Many here have pointed out great things that it has brought so i wont go into them.
However there seems to be a certain misconception about the key principle behind the mechanics. Trolling or not the attacking side must take the structure/node/stn within the period determined by the defense multiplier. Hence an organised side will ensure industry and military multipliers are kept at a certain minimum. every time a T1 entosis ship loses it's lock is an additional 5 minutes. Even when the entosis timer is 30 minutes, that would put off most but serious attackers. So as long as defense multipliers are kept high enough even a small alliance/corp cam hold on to a constellation.
As for trolling/solo ceptors they are my favorite target nowadays. The trick is ... fly a ceptor yourself :) |

I just laid it out. The problem is that you are not interested in listening.
What you types just don't get (abive what's been said) is that these kinds of situations are win/win for people like me. If CCP does nothing I sit back in my impossible to conquer Ratting systems making loads of isk while padding my killboard with ever increasing numbers of small ships (not the fleet action fun i want though), if they wise up and scrap this horrible system (preferably for a true sandboxy "no sov" situation), we win because we get to have fun with emergent experiences again.
One thing that's real funny is the low sec and high sec people in here celebrating a boring null conflcit system. Not understanding that this does nothing but mean more bored null sec playerss in low sec/FW and ganking in high sec... They are literally celebrating the fact that they are about to get ****** around way more often. Shortsightedness is a powerful affliction. |

It can take a long time annoying someone before they decide that fighting guerillas isnt worth it and given that some many alliances in EVE are already whining to the heavens about fozziesov, im pretty sure your will is already beginning to flounder.
So, when can u haz your stuff cuz you seem like you arent going to make it in the new nullsec and im anticipating a rage quit.

I know exactly what thats like!
So. How about baiting it with some nuts into a trap? How about sallying forth boldly to destroy its home? How about keeping the door closed and watched? How about encircling it so it has no means to escape? How about dressing up as a squirrel and infiltrating its organisation? How about whining real hard to the powers that be that that squirrels are eliminated? If its a really ferocious and persistent squirrel, maybe you will have to surrender a room to it...
Ive done all of the above (or, well, most) successfully, and still love the annoying curious little buggers.
Squirrels are the spirit animal of the Minmatar, btw. Few people know that.

I mean for thousands of alts controlling most of known space, to have to drive off a single guy? It's too low a bar to be a threat. Having to chase disposable ships around while they evade is not fun. They have no interest in taking sov, just wasting time. The mechanic currently supports that and it's dumb that it does. I get that you're either a terrible troll or you legitimately don't think games should be fun, but the mechanic isn't creating conflict, because after chasing frigates all day, who really wants to go mine structures?
Im sure the british thought that guerilla warfare was both unfair and pointless when America used guerilla warfare against them, they were wrong on both accounts and so are you.

And no, trollceptors don't "force Sov holders to only hold space where they are active". They are a burden on active space more than they are on inactive. I've got no problem with inactive space being easy to take, but to attack active sov you should have to commit moderate amounts of isk and effort.

If they are active there enough to keep their indices up, they should own it.
If we find it is too easy to maintain those levels, that could be adjusted. The point of the mechanic is to ensure they can defend where they are active, but not as easily where they are not.
That can of course be gamed by players, but it can be easily adjusted by Devs as well, if needed.

This doesnt make sense.
How is it a problem for active space to defend against a single interloper?
How is that somehow MORE a problem than responding in inactive space, where nobody is anyways?
Makes no sense, man.

I dont know about him but when you get miners, gas huffers, and other industrialist working throughout your holdings i will proclaim that fozziesov was a total success since it got you to start using the systems you own instead of just sitting on them which is a primary goal of fozziesov.
If you do USE it, you SHOULD be able to hold it, so working as intended....

Why would it flounder? It's boring, but it's what we need to do so we will do it. The mechanic will certainly reduce the likelihood of people wanting to seriously try to take sov, but we will undoubtedly keep growing and getting renters in. This is what you dont; seem to get, it's a boring mechanic, so it's bad for the game but if you think it's going to do anything to stop us, you're nuts. This is more likely to add more non-aggression pacts than split us up.

Spin it how you want, both involve being forced into gameplay that you don't want, and each have their "said" purposes.

Let's make this simple. The old system was claimed to be bad because it lacked conflict. The new system has less conflict. Surely a pretend lawyer can understand that?

You don't half talk some rubbish. If a system is actively being used it will take somebody an hour to entosis. If you live in system and are being trolled by one interceptor for an hour and can't find one person willing to undock and counter because it is boring then you deserve any negative effects that occur from your own inaction.
It's quite clear that all this moaning about Fozzsov is just the big powers wanting an easy 'troll free' ride in null sec with as little hassle as possible to maintain their outlying underused or renter areas. Yet the same people actively organise events to troll people in high sec, Burn Amarr and Burn Jita events for example.
I've an idea for you, why not put up a small, regular 'anti-entosis' fleet that gets paid isk for patroling your outlying/renter regions? As a player who hates grinding for isk hunting and killing 'trollceptors' for payment would beat running anoms or mining any time of the day.

"it can be adjusted" (Tweaked!) is something we've been told for 12 years. It's a dodge that people (and companies) tell people when they aren't willing to admit that the thing they are doing is fundamentally and fatally flawed. you should read that thread I just linked, you will notice a whole lot of players saying about Dominion what you are saying here about Fozzie Sov.
The question still stands, when history repeats , will you be the 1st poster ever to come back and say "you know, I was wrong about that"?

Quite honestly I think you would suggest anything just to disagree. It seems you are butthurt of being ganked and want to support a boring mechanics as some form of payback, even though most sove holders had nothing to do with whatever ship you lost in highsec.
Look, this discussion is moot. CCP and the CSM wanted feedback, they have the vast majority of players explaining to them all the reasons the mechanic is terrible. I can't imagine trollceptors will remain in existence much longer and if they do you'll only see us forming into even bigger coalitions.

'Vast majority of players'?
50% of this thread has just been you complaining about your own negative experience in support of a petition by a few rentier landlords out to protect their assets.
The 'vast majority' probably doesn't really give a rats ass about the changes and from what I see for every doom monger like yourself there is a person like me quite enjoying the new system.

The issue is it currently weaponize ding dong ditch. I have to get to the door every single time because you might be someone "important" who want my SOV but most of the damn time, you just run away faster than any shotgun can be loaded... That is the stupid part about it. Having to defend your space to hold it is fine as long as either don't have to reply to those stupid ding dong ditch OR I get an effective way to stop you.
There is no point to preventing warp out on an inty if he can still burn away at 4k/s since even if you warped on him with probes, by the time you land and re-accelerate, he is already too far away. |

It's when things like this go live the way they do that I doubt anyone who works on making this game actually plays it (or takes any input from their cool stunt of marketing people they've let us elect).

Lets be real here for a second.
Alliances of thousands of alts and vast resources are complaining about single disposable frigates trespassing on your lawn.
Are you waiting for the government to call the National Guard and SWAT? YOU are the government in your own space. Deal with it. Do something. Adapt.
Honestly, if I had unregistered alt near your or in your organisation Id deliberately do this day in day out and carry a cargo extension just to collect all these tears.
Yes, Sov has problems. Yes, this didnt fix them. But is the now a problem? Not really. As you and others have corroborated, this is no threat, merely an annoyance.

OOoohh.
So now we've gone from a single disposable frigate as earlier, to a few hundred? Holy moly! Well, that escalated quick!

No, it's not. Guerilla warfare still has a strategic goal. Trollceptors don't. They are literally there to make the game less fun for sov holders. Whether you like sov holders or not, can you not see how it's bad game design to allow a mechanic to promote boring gameplay. The same could be said about Hi Sec gankers. They make the game less fun for the targets, but it adds realism and shows you that you are never safe in Eve Online. This is Eve, ganking is allowed, so should Trollceptors, they are the same types of warfare just with different targets and goals. Gankers have been said to be counters to the isk printers called Lvl 4s. Trollceptors force Sov holders to only hold space where they are active. It is a counter balance to Sov Sprawl that we have seen for years. Trollceptors will probably result in some leaving the game, but so has Hi Sec ganking. It is the nature of this game, and why it is considered so hard and visceral by many. Ganking is emergent gameplay. It's also not performed in space anyone has any claim on and you have the ability to be completely immune to it. I have my issues with the balance of that too, but using that as an excuse to support a mechanic which is boring by design is incredibly weak. And no, trollceptors don't "force Sov holders to only hold space where they are active". They are a burden on active space more than they are on inactive. I've got no problem with inactive space being easy to take, but to attack active sov you should have to commit moderate amounts of isk and effort.
Ganking is emergent game play, WTF?
Ganking is intended game play, seriously you think CCP was like OMG we didnt see ganking coming about when we made a game where if you undock ANYWHERE you can get blasted and in a game where by design many ships cannot defend themselves.
At CCPs headquarters 10 seconds after EVE launched: damn those crazy gamers we totally didnt see ganking ever coming about, caught us totally off gaurd!
Also, more on point, entossing isnt emergent game play either since it is a game mechanic hard coded into EVE.
Yawn,-á I'm right as usual. The predictability kinda gets boring really.

If you live in system and are being trolled by one interceptor for an hour and can't find one person willing to undock and counter because it is boring then you deserve any negative effects that occur from your own inaction.
It's quite clear that all this moaning about Fozzsov is just the big powers wanting an easy 'troll free' ride in null sec with as little hassle as possible to maintain their outlying underused or renter areas. Yet the same people actively organise events to troll people in high sec, Burn Amarr and Burn Jita events for example.
I've an idea for you, why not put up a small, regular 'anti-entosis' fleet that gets paid isk for patroling your outlying/renter regions? As a player who hates grinding for isk hunting and killing 'trollceptors' for payment would beat running anoms or mining any time of the day. LOL, mate, you know how it is because you're being told to do it. You show up in an interceptor, then run away when someone show up. You just over a system and repeat. With a whole bunch of people doing just that, the mechanic is boring as sin. You know this and you support this, because your feelings of "grr goons" are more important to you than whether or not CCP put in crappy mechanics and wreck part of the game.
As for free ride, we already have a free ride. The mechanic is boring, but it's cheap to fight back. Far cheaper than it used to be.

There is no point to preventing warp out on an inty if he can still burn away at 4k/s since even if you warped on him with probes, by the time you land and re-accelerate, he is already too far away.
You don't need to chase him. Just grab a T1 jamming frig and cut his entosis off. Job done.
