Why go to the trouble of setting up multiple "forward staging systems" on the edges of your territory when you can have one home system and if something goes down, grab the closest jump bridge/Titan bridge and be there in a few moments??

Jump bridges is a form of power projection. You can't dispute that Lord Zim.

clearly jump bridges allow an invasion 7 regions away to be staged from home

I know I never have to get my megathrons half way across known space to get to the staging point ever

Seriously, did I not reply later in the thread about this??

You want to talk about "power projection"? Have a look at all the capitals out there.

0.0 is about empire building. That's why there's sov, that's why there's alliances, that's why you get your name on the map. Scrublord 'guudfitz' lowsec roamers, friendless highsec nobodies, and anyone who bleats about "blobbing" lacks any understanding of null. Null is about building empires, massive wars, and the like. A good null design includes a place for you - as serfs - because people with the will to power to create a nullsec empire need peasant villages to raze and plunder. But with your narrow-minded concerns over scraping isk from rocks, you lack the vision to have any meaningful input on the design of null, aside from suggesting what sort of salt lick would attract you.

Yes, capitals are a form of power projection. Have I ever said they were not?

This thread is starting to be derailed so if you want to take 'power projection' to another thread, I'm game. You can list all the mechanics that fall under it and how much it contributes to power projection. Here is your chance to set everyone straight on what is what.

greyscale saying that jump bridges are a significant factor in force projection made me lol irl (In Real Life)

Hey, just admit you spoke without thinking, and learn a valuable life lesson in the meantime. Who sayd time spent in video games is wasted?

No need to run backwards so fast; you might fall over and hurt yourself.

It certainly helped me get into the fight a region away with very low risk after showing up late in the fight.
Help many others as well.

Besides, if they are not so important, they shouldn't be missed too much should they?

catching stragglers is easy as hell

and I'm sure you've been in many fights contesting sovereignty for your one-man corp

Have you ever scanned a whole region for moons? Even once?

All these people opining on things they clearly have no familiarity with or understanding of...it's just weird.

When we conquered cloud ring, we used a staging system close to cloud ring. When we conquered fountain, we used a staging system close to cloud ring (and after a while, it was even inside fountain). When we freeported delve, we had a staging system close to/in delve.

No jumpbridges were used out of necessity.

True, but most Alliances really don't sound the Horn of War for some small corporation's POS, unless if they did something stupid like assault a Moon that they clearly can't hold onto.

I'm not against small groups having a home in Null, I love me some small-scale PvP, but I'm still not convinced that nerfing Jump Bridges as a means of creating apathy within large coalitions is the right answer.

god forbid a new profession should be introduced into the game: Moon Surveyor.

lets keep the game stale.

Pretty sure you used jump bridges to move your stuff as close to the staging system as possible...

In anycase, you are missing my point - if it weren't such a NAPfest around your owned space because you were able to project your power so easily using jump bridges

you would have to think twice about moving all of your PVP pilots around New Eden to a staging system as more likely you would have a neighbour close to you who would take advantage of your absense.

Unlike now where you could be back there no problem because of jump bridges.
