Jump bridges:
After reading these minutes, I'm led to believe that the CSM and the dev team both think jump bridges are a bad idea on the grounds that they overly encourage force projection.
I think intentionally balkanizing this game would be a massive step backwards both for small stakes PvP (if you think small gang PvP is dead now, wait until you have to fly 30 jumps to get anywhere from anywhere else) and for fleet PvP (if you think it's bad now, wait until a 0.0 alliance is required to have a dozen titans to move people around - never fear, we'll get them...but I'd hate to be in an alliance with under a couple of thousand people). It is also a completely ******ed step backwards when it comes to industrial activity in 0.0.
Industry in 0.0 in general:
It is apparent that both the CSM and CCP a)think that people (as opposed to bots) mine in 0.0, b)have no idea how much mineral consumption takes place there, and c)live in some magic fantasyland where convoys full of freighters and industrials going 20 jumps through gates are a good idea.
Let's put it this way: please do not change your game to make travel harder until you have run a quick calculation on how much tritanium is required to make 100 battleships, how many trips it takes to ferry that tritanium to a factory from the refinery you have uncompressed it from (no, you can't ferry that many uncompressed minerals into 0.0, and no, you can't uncompress it in a refinery since you're lucky if it has 7 build slots), and how long it would take those same people to build those 100 battleships in a refinery if they went that route instead.
Seriously, the entire 0.0 production part of the economy that you love so much only works at all because of easy travel. If you want alliances to require their dozen titan pilots to log in each and every day to do nothing but ferry freighters full of minerals from Empire to the nearest supercap construction system within one titan bridge from it while deep 0.0 just sort of sits there and rots, please go ahead and say so so we can all quit now.
By the way, this doesn't count the 100-200 POS per region that all have to be fueled every 3 weeks by ships that take 10 minutes to travel 4-5 jumps.
Hybrid guns:
lol did someone in the CSM unironically say that blaster megas are used in PvP? really? please fire that guy.
Let's start with those three and go on from there.
