We have had already many of these topics, let me summarize what is needed:"
1. 10x100 men fleet should be better than 1x1000 men fleet, unlike current situation
1b. For example introduce LOS fire, would most likely kill the server though
2. Eve is WAAAYYYYY too small. Now i dont need to read posts claiming 90% of 0.0 is empty so there is enough space, the first part is true, second part is also true, but that doesnt mean eve isnt too small. The problem isnt amount of systems, but how easy it is to travel.
Lets for a second take two completely imaginary groups, one we call IT, the other one we call NC, purely random. Now IT wants to attack the NC, so they form voltron, euh i mean massive blob. NC counters with their massive blob. The problem now is, those massive blobs are formed by combining forces from all over the map. Lets do an RL analogy, since they are always required for internet spaceships. Lets say the USA invades mexico, if that would happen IRL immediatly obviously Canada would 'liberate' northern half of the USA. So back to our internet spaceships, IT is busy fighting at the other side of the map, so this leaves their home regions pretty much defenseless to any attack, right?
No not right, because eve is too small. The IT fleet requires:
1 sec to med clone back
1 sec to jump clone back
15-20 minutes or so to jump/bridge back
2-3 hours to move back conventional way.
First the clones, maybe make JC timer depend on how far you jumped, so still usable to switch implants and get in a hurry to other space, but when you jump 10 regions you cant use it for a week. Med clone timer could be fixed by players by disabling cloning facilities (most people dont like waking up in bubbled station with 800k SP clone).
Jumping and jump bridges is easy to fix, increase distance between constellations, massively increase distance between regions. Just watch out you dont make capital chokepoints, we already got enough chokepoints.
Dunno really a way to make conventional way longer, also dunno if it is needed. And god kills a kitten when someone suggest removing WTZ.
