What are the most popular PVP videos invloving EVE? Not BLOB fests, that's for sure.

Shh, he thinks we use jumpbridges to freighter ships all the way down from deklein to delve, and that we always take the jumpbridge while travelling from vfk to whatever system in delve when we go for our annual freeport session in delve.

Reading this thread makes me wonder if the lvl of "disagreement" in the Greek parliament is not has high has in here.

But here is my two cents anyway on the matter. In order to "revive" Null, maybe CCP needs to :

1- Lower the ability of power projection in the game. (make the galaxy feel immense and not like a small board game)
2- Remove all the free intel that is currently available.
3- Allow the ability to fly between systems and at the same time find new and more dynamic ways of catching ships.
4- Do something about Tech moon concentration. (balance tech goo throughout the galaxy)
5- Remove AFK cloacking from the game.
6- Introduce the "Line Of Sight" factor. (no more firing through objects)

I am sure a lot of people will disagree with the above. Some would probably even unsub if CCP would go ahead with only one of them. On the long run however, I have a feeling these changes would make 0.0 more fun to venture in.

Surely if you aren't ever using JB's you wouldn't have set so many of them up and you wouldn't be so adamently opposed to nerfing the crap out of them would you?

We had some jump bridge networks that would take you from deep 0.0 accross 3 regions and drop you 1 jump out of low sec with very little risk.

We only used about 6-8 bridges and maybe 3-5 gate jumps here and there to go what would have been 30-40 gate jumps without.

Far less risk, and that does affect strategic mobility and power projection.

U MAD

Anyways, I'm not saying there shouldn't be any BLOB warfare, so relax my little lemming friend - I'm just saying it should be a little harder to project the BLOBS power around the vast reaches of New Eden. So relax, you will still have your FC barking orders to you if we nerf jump bridges.

I think you missed the idea of the whole new profession. You don't have to be the one doing it.

Null sec industry is not meant to be self sufficient. Working as intended. But then neither is high sec, as can not build capital ships, working as intended.

CCP likes blobs. They like mass warfare. They want to be able to say they packed x thousand faggots into one system for epic "player-driven content". Soundwave and the new head baldin guy said as much multiple times during presentations last fanfest.

I personally don't like blobs, but you're mistaken if you think CCP wants to reduce the incentive for blobbing. What they want to do is reduce a group's ability to control vast swathes of space it doesn't use or it "underuses", and nerfing JBs will be in direct violation of that.

What they want to do is reduce a group's ability to control vast swathes of space it doesn't use or it "underuses",

Except it's already been explained multiple times that they are used and what exactly they're used for, it's just not "power projection" like you claim.

But I know this to be incorrect as I have witnessed it many, many times.

The only people who think JB's are good for null are the nullbears who depend on them.

So you're going to keep on thinking that jumpbridges are the force projection tools, and completely ignore jumpfreighters, carriers, rorquals, dreads, supercarriers and titans?

cool so your anecdote has been irrelevant since Incarna when they limited jump bridges to 1 per system

Well for someone who likes to tell others they are dumb...

Not unlike what the helo did for light infantry back in the 60-70s.

lol

In a null world where there are less gigantic napfests because there are nerfed or no jump bridges, there will be that much more risk in using these tools to project your power.

But I know this to be incorrect as I have witnessed it many, many times.

How would nerfing JBs change the Null political landscape to change NAPs, please, enlighten us.

Your post is literally nonresponsive. I literally cannot continue the line of conversation because your post is irrelevant to the one you quoted and mostly incoherent.

Congratulations.

Again, if you actually are a child, I apologize. I will, however, say that this is generally a more grown-up venue, perhaps not in maturity, but at least in terms of the expectation placed on the command of the English language and basic reasoning.

you seem to think that nerfing jump bridges would kill off large nullsec blocs, allow small alliances to settle in nullsec and magically fix the game

Says the guy that just insults people when they don't agree with him?

ok, whatever floats your boat I guess.

lols

fun fact: even if force projection was nerfed, the last thing we'd allow to happen is some small alliance setting up near our space - we'd purge them immediately considering that they'd collapse under the threat of an invasion by one of our enemies

Yes, I'm sure you've actually been in nullsec. You seem to be so well-versed in null mechanics that I have absolutely no problem accepting that as fact.
