That would be idiotic, a slap in the face to a true fan base, this game offers something that most space related combat sim's don't, that is scale and vastness a rare immersion that comes in even quality games, you double speeds you take part of that feeling out, knowing that your ship can only go so fast to reach a very far distance allows the player to feel small in a vast world, that's a very impressive feature. |

You should be able to give the warp core more power through the use of capacitor injection. Burn all of your cap in a warp and you will warp across the solar system at jumpgate speeds. So basically it would be a teleport, that is only usable in solar system levels and drains all of your cap. But it might allow you to snag that expensive prey if you happened to pick the same destination or outrun a pursuing enemy. Also it would only be actionable if you are at 95% cap or higher. Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise. Seek what they sought. |

Not sure about vastness of it one need to take effort to find system that is not visited on hourly base 99% systems in new eden (excluding jove)is visited on hourly base..and while you can toss out few points due to game mechanic and travel times EVE to me feels more like a cage than representation of vastness of space!
Space is vast eve is gated box that can be crossed fast.

How does that dumb down the game? It makes power projection increasingly more expensive, at the least it would slow power projection down, and make those trying a series of smaller jumps vulnerable to counter attack. |

No. I'm trying to be clever and sneak in a bit of balance combined with a bit of thinking, thus smartening the game up by offering you an important tactical and strategical choice to make.
What if fuel consumption was simply [distance in AU]-¦ percent of your full fuel bay capacity? Do you want to jump 10 AU and burn 100% of the fuel your ship can carry, making it a one-way trip? Do you instead want to make it ten 1-AU jumps, eating up only 10% of your fuel capacity in the process, but requiring a good chain and a bit more time? Can you bring along enough fuel for the entire fleet so they can jump back 10 AU, meaning you can strike really deep into enemy territory? What happens if you bring along a JF with fuel for everyone and it is found and shot to pieces? Can you keep your jump route safe to do the low-fuel option and basically lap the entire galaxy four times over on one tank?
The only way to dumb down linear cost would be to make it a fixed cost regardless of distance. GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥

Warp speed isn't the problem.
If you warp around in solar system map, you see that we actually warp very fast. The trouble is the inertia system is based on a diminishing returns system and the way we slow down is part of that so if you warped 50 AU 95% of the time is spent dropping out of warp, not warping itself.
Even in regular screen, count down in seconds, one ten thousand, two ten thousand and factor the time it takes to get from a gate to a gate, then watch it as it switches from AU away to millions, then hundreds of thousands of km away.
Just like you can MWD to 90% max speed almost immediately and then spend 20X as long getting to cap, the warp system is effecting your slow down.
As for Jump ranges, it's hull oriented. People have been ignored for years when asking for a useful jump range to Black Ops. I don't expect it to ever change. On the other end of the spectrum I don't think anyone has a complaint with the ranges of the Carrier. When talking about Jump ranges you need to specify your hull or the troll brigade will rip you to shreds and derail your topic in no time. |

I would bet LY is what they meant. Not AU.
To Tippia. Why would you bring a JF along when you can fit a cloak to any of the industrial ships? Or you can have a couple of transport ships in tow of a BO locking onto covert cynos?
I do believe that BO bridge and jump range needs to be increased though. If they don't want to add range to BO, then make a covert capital class based off of the dreadnoughts. They can easily balance it by reducing the amount of damage the BO dreads do by not allowing siege due to specialization of the electronics to allow use of coverts ops cyno/bridge. A cov-ops capital. Maybe add a ship hanger for sneaky ninja ships and a corp hanger to allow deep ops into enemy territory to be really untraceable. Yeah. Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise. Seek what they sought. |

Nope, cant see any potential 'Power projection' threads being spawned from that at all.
How about NO. HmmGǪ yeah, GǣnoGǥ works for me. I think I'll go with GǣnoGǥ as well. Just make warp speed actually matter even at short ranges (yes, yes, I know the code is such a mess that no-one understands it, but stillGǪ), and then slash it by half across the board. As usual you have no clue about the game. Large fights happen because we can get there in time. With faster response ability and adequate supplies more will happen and thus; more news coverage. It will be better for game and you will enjoy it more.
Yes tell us more about the large fights you have in your NPC corp. Bienator II: "You can identify eve players by looking at their cars. Since they don't drive what they can't afford to lose." I play in highsec. |
