Or you can spend hours jumping through gates, losing 5-10 people each time you jump from desyncs and lag, only to get hotdropped by someone who does have these things. That doesn't sound fun.
Limiting cyno mass on jumps doesn't really solve anything, you can just daisy chain cynos in with the capitals you are dropping. And again, only those who have a distinct advantage would be using cynos. A few extra immobile carriers don't matter if you have 40 SCs and 40 Titans.
There is no issue with force projection, nullsec is already "small" because there are very few entities participating. You shouldn't have to jump halfway across the map for a good fight, there should already be one on your doorstep. Force projection nerfs just make it more difficult for people to get fights, probably the biggest reason why people still live in nullsec.
you know back in the day jumping 40 plus jumps to find a fight was a good reason to try and kill your neighbour...
plus making logi harder is a good thing... the fact you can be across the universe in a flash is kinda wrong and to me (an observer) is one of the reasons we see such large coalitions... At the end of the game both the pawn and the Queen go in the same box. |

This is true but the pos can hold enough stront to transport a fleet. This is not a good enough limiting attribute... Having a hard Mass attribute on top of that is a better option. ....stront? You've got to be kidding. Listen I realize you thought you knew what you were talking about, but you should really have some experience before you start threads asking for nerfs. I'm honestly tired of hearing about "force projection" from people who live in hi-sec just because they want to be in on the theoretical discussion. JB's have been nerfed more times than I'd like to count so the next step is removing them altogether, that's about how useful they're becoming. It's one of the slim few advantages of having sov. i did not state once i was talking about JB i only said titan bridging.... yeah stront or atleast that is what evelopedia suggests it uses http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Jump_Portal_Generator_Ias i remember when i used to do fleets in null we would warp to the pos and then right click on the titan and click on the jump button. as for me i have lived most of my eve life either in null or low sec... hardly go to high sec so that is a wrong asumption on me... I just happen to be more of a solo guy then group as when i play eve i cant allways get on comms which limits me being in fleets.... also post with your main. LOL. Oh coad memories. I don't post with my main to avoid ad-hominem attacks that detract from the discussion. Yes, jump portals use stront as well as isotopes, I thought you were talking about jb's which use liquid ozone. My point stands though, as someone who only does solo stuff, how can you realistically complain about force projection, or know the implications of limiting it? It's completely reasonable for owners of territory to have an inherent advantage over interlopers. Jump bridges haven't been used strategically pretty much since the Eye of Terror anyway. They're literally convenience items that make living in null slightly less annoying.
i might not be directly linked but i do have former corp mates who are all over the eve universe and usually talk to them about these matters... plus i read all the news(properganda) websites activly... so i might not be directly involved but indrectly i am(well kinda)
look at what is going on you have HBC and CFC killing of Solar and friends... what happends when that is done? we will see CFC vrs HBC! Which will be awesome to watch and read about...
but what after that will everyone have some mass reset?
i hope so but with the way force projection works what will stop new blocks forming...
I am looking at it from a design point of view... for me having a cyno that can call in unlimted amounts of ships just sounds wrong. At the end of the game both the pawn and the Queen go in the same box. |

Which means 6 titans sitting outside a pos is an tempting target to counter hotdrop... They dont sit outside a POS. Why would he know this? His alliance doesn't have any sov in null to park a titan safely anyways. What a shocker. Wait you can activate a titan bridge inside a pos? Its been years since I used one so I figured the titan had to be outside the pos shield for it to work... If this is the case then titan bridging needs to be moved outside the pos also.
This right here is why you should just stop. Don't try to fix what you don't understand |

Because you said so?
I keep asking you to EXPLAIN WHY, but you just keep saying, "because".
You say that, but in another responce you said WE SHOULD HAVE TO BUILD MORE TITANS. Why will you not explain this?
BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE A REASON. You're just repeating the same dumb **** other people have said, and don't even seem to know WHY.
WHY?
It's not effecting you.
And honestly, the hell man. Rant? WTF? I asked you a bunch of questions, you gave zero ******* answers, and cut my post down to "rant". gtfo, man.
You aren't being hotdroped because of titans, and your alliance doesn't hold sov. In fact you yourself said that you play solo because you don't have time for OPs. Why does does it matter to you when your alliance holds no sov, and you don't fly in fleets that need to worry about it, or engage in sov activity that would make them useful to use or use against you.
You have nothing to deffend that it matters. |

It explains the idea of "proliferation" with a nifty little picture, and then compares it to an old (and much loved) EVE trailer for comparison. Some people have a strong preference for one massive capital ship existing at the head of a vastly more numerous fleet.
That is all.

While I agree with the concept of removing Titan bridges from inside POS shields that is still a major mechanic. If You are not experienced enough or have proper up to date knowledge of the field you are trying to change then you have no business doing it. There is a simple reason why. Without current and accurate info you are unable to foresee what the future effects of the change may have, thus you cannot attempt to gauge if it is for better or worse. You are basicly taking shots in the dark and wishing for a good outcome. |

well lets see how much you remember after that long... taking a hiatus from eve every now and then can result in forgeting stuffz

So there has never been huge Nyx/titan hot drops by BOB, Russians and pandemic legion. Red alliance never teamed up with PL and steamrolled everything in sight with a fleet consisting of a large portion of all supers in game (not made from botting ofc). I must have dreamed all of this.

The reason people keep bringing up force projection is to lower the barrier of entry into sov for small-mid size alliances. Currently, the main way into sov for said alliances is to get in touch with an existing coalition and drink their kool-aid.
Nerfing force projection won't change that. A small-mid size alliance will still not be able to go to sov and "take" sov from someone else.
The only way to really lower the barrier of entry to sov is to lower the ehp of ihubs, towers, and tcu's significantly. Consider the following, if you will. A 100 man alliance puts up a tower or tcu somewhere near a large coalition. What does said coalition do? Drop 40+ dreads (with subcap, carrier, and super support on standby) and reinforces everything within a matter of minutes. The structures are reinforced before the residents can rally to respond to the notifications (not that it would matter if they did respond quickly enough). Said coalitions comes back later to destroy everything.
That capability, to jump in, destroy infrastructure within minutes, and leave quickly is the barrier of entry for any new alliance that wants to take sov without drinking the kool-aid.
Now suppose ehp of ihubs, towers, and tcu's was nerfed by a factor of ten. Said alliance could counter attack by blopsing in thorn bombers on the hostile coalition's tech towers and reinforcing them quickly and efficiently (the same capabillity that the larger coalition has) without using caps. This would start a cycle of reinforcing and repping the assets for both sides that is profitable to neither and eventually an agreement may be reached that is acceptable to both sides.
Sov would become dynamic. Instead of reinforcing one system at a time, larger entities could reinforce ten or twenty. And smaller entities could become just enough of a PITA to larger entities to be able to hold small chunks of space here and there. Also this would make blops and other fleet doctrines more relevant.
Just my 2 isk. |

Didn't you guys know, only Goons can talk about Titans, since they and their pets have the moastest. 
If your alliance don't have one, you don't have a right to talk about how they are used. 
I know, I know, its like how only those with the most self interest sets the rulez, that that's the way it is. 
...At least in Goonland.
One point to be heartened by, the way it is in Goonland isn't always how it is IRL. Sometimes reality catches up when they can't spin things fast enough.
Even their mindless hordes can't always keep up with all the poasting on the forums. \

They most certainly have. Directly and indirectly.
Force projection has been a problem in this game for years and is directly related to how quickly a large force can cross the map. CCP has ignored this since the most reasonable fixes would upset a significant portion of their most vocal players.
Some players don't want to lose the advantage they have, so they will do anything to deflect, disprove, or dilute any reasonable solution.

Don't be like the OP, quote my posts, don't do the douchey thing and change them around.
Not once did I ever say no one ever did that.
I did say that we all know perfectly well that that's not how people use them though, and that's the truth. People do not hotdrop fleets full of supers and titans, even if they have done so a few times in the past.
The OP is not a part of a sov holding alliance, WHY does he care about something that is used as a tool by sov holding groups. If you do not hold sov, you do not own a large super or titan fleet, so why would you care?
You chose to jump into it with an arguement that boiled down to, "people built more than one". That's a rediculous arguement, we're supposed to build more than one, I don't give a **** what a trialer showed.
Templar One, you know that novel written by the same guy that wrote EVE's lore, had the Amaar deploying a bunch of the ******* things to try and take back a planet.
Those crazy americans building more tanks and aircraft carriers than everyone else, wtf.
