Go read the new structure blogs. http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/shake-my-citadel/ Controlling the grid is one thing, but why would we take a non small ship there in the first place? This isn't null, mate, we can't just YOLO some BCs through the gates because the pathways can and DO close behind you at a moments notice. Equally you don't drag along a slowass ship "just in case" and going back for one isn't always an option and nor can we bridge one in. What happens when we log off in system to siege the system? We need to pour useless ships (except for one role) into the hole blowing the mass limits along the way thus closing it to other more useful ships? You're assuming mechanics and pathways to be the same out there and they simply are not.
And you are assuming that changes in the mechanics should not reflect changes in tactics andoperations of the players. And things do not work like that.
The only real problem you rised that is valid are the systems with only too small holes to pass large enough ships.
Anyway, I doubt you will then be able to move a citatel to inside a system that you cannot move a BC into ... solikely thisproblem will not really exist.

I prefer a modest drop to speed (3500-3750), which webs affect and increase mass to kick align time up.
It's a little less restrictive to meta options but makes active defence really pretty easy.
This would, naturally, be alongside changes to increase the worth of sov/increased ability to condense members/system ratio. |

Controlling the grid for a few minutes is NOT what CCP means when they say control the grid, and YOU KNOW IT.

Given we own the most secure space without using bubble camps it's clear we are not having issues in defending. The problem we keep on pointing out is most of the entosising being done is by ships made to avoid fighting which is resulting in very boring game play and renders the vast bulk of ships useless.

Once again, not so much these: https://zkillboard.com/region/10000047/reset/group/831/losses/ ...for variety cross reference against solo kills for even more fun https://zkillboard.com/region/10000047/solo/
so much as it is this: http://rischwa.net/coalitions/
The Imperium (38.05%) - 41237 Drone Region Federation (12.01%) - 13020
Provi-Bloc (9.72%) - 10530
I would say, with the numbers above, you will hold grid just about wherever you prefer in whatever you want to bring, why should it be drawn out...
...unless the invading force is moving in, taking the systems back will be just as easy, especially if they are empty.
...also, remember the new structures (citadels) will be able to fire back, hopefully they can carry that over to the sov structures eventually as well, but either way, the ship carrying the thing matters not when half of null takes on less than a 10th of it.
Reminder of what new structures will be designed to: "We have established Citadels need to be able to take care of themselves in a fight.
As such they should:
- Repel trolling attempts from a single player trying to capture them with an Entosis module
- Act as force multipliers to deal with attacking fleets and promote asymmetric warfare (less defenders are required than attackers)
- Have engagement inertia, meaning they require time to acquire and switch targets
- Require support from defending fleets to successfully fend off attacks"
Reminders about where we are in the overall revamp, for those that want to go back, don't get it, or tinker with a transition piece that will be part of a bigger picture:
- Phase One contains the long-distance travel changes... <- Stick #1
- Phase Two...medium-term changes to...capture and hold Nullsec space and infrastructure...loosely...described as GÇ£occupancy-basedGÇ¥ systems and more GÇ£freeformGÇ¥ systems...decentralize... <- Stick 2 (Where we are)
- Phase Three is the stage that CCP Seagull discussed in the EVE Keynote at Fanfest this year. This stage is intended to build upon the changes that we are planning for starbases/structures and corps/alliances in 2015, changes that will open up new possibilities for more dynamic warfare and more granular control of territory. This phase is also intended to lead quite deliberately into the future through our vision for player-built stargates. <- Carrot
...this isn't about grrr anyone, but rather acknowledging where we are in the process, and highlighting the futility of scream crying about a system that is only two thirds implemented, where the last third gives the all important Why Bother
Phase 2 is fine as is (with tweaks only necessary after the effects of phase 3 are implemented, such as iHub cost and use) and allows ebb and flow for uncontested or un-lived in sov, with tweaks in defensive capability better addressed in Phase 3, where system infrastructure, defenses and enhancements/customization would, in theory, allow a smaller localized force the ability to better fortify and secure their system or constellation (NOTE - those that think in terms of region still don't get it).
This does require an actual change in thinking if you are offering design tips, whereas the vast majority in this thread are railing against the sticks given in phase 1 and 2 in order to lessen the impact which creeps us back to region sized thinking, instead of focusing on ideas that would allow for condensing and making holdings more efficient and defensible.
The game is broke, but purposely so due to a major transition, bellyaching about going back is a non-starter, focusing on phases designed to be punitive misses the point, and providing feedback and suggestions for the all important "Why Bother" phase 3 is about the only sensible thing to actually do.
The provi invasion demonstrates only how a horde can overrun even well indexed systems without any benefit whatsoever of whatever may come in Phase 3 for the defender, and illustrates no actual incentive to do said overrunning beyond basic boredom, which could also be attributed to lack of Phase 3 implementation.
Rather than focus on what ship can carry the phase 2 thing that does the thing, it would be better served to focus on feedback for the phase 3 things that can be designed to limit the effectiveness of that thing from phase 2. |

Agreed. Stupid wall of text.

We have most of the big players of nullsec all crammed into provi most of which looking for fights. Outside of provi its intercepters/t3d online and inside provi the bulk of our attacking force is also cepters and t3d. Also you lot camping a station in nados doesn't constitute much of a fight, I have seen a lot more fights in past wars.

Well yes, but then it starts getting a bit weird and niche and everyone is a special snowflake and the fitting rules are different depending on what bit of space you're in...They could but I don't like it. It's not a good play when there are other effective ways to deal with this.
I'm sticking with drop the speed cap slightly further (3500-3750), thus allow typical legit nano cruisers to function with it whilst making them pretty easy to catch if people turn up, make webs work right (if they've not fixed it already - not been on much since the patch) and increase the mass penalty or some other mechanism to enforce a minimum align time. I think in conjunction with the real priority (below) that'll be about perfect:
The real priority being improving the value of sov. It is intrinsic to the whole thing and if we don't fix that and only tunnel vision onto the link and the ships it'll get into compulsive balancing disorder.
Then they REALLY need to unveil the battlecruiser stuff they are working on. |

Seems to me that T3 destroyers are way out of control.

No more out of control than trollceptors. T3d's just happen to be good at destroying stuff, which is what a 'destroyer' should be able to do. They are the best counter to trollceptors (no tackle needed even), and very good at playing an anti-support role in big fleets (if you can fly it right). |

But let's be realistic, people will still cry when citadels get lasered by evasion mobiles, won't they? Especially since they won't shoot back without a sitter in there. |
