And that mobile cyno jammer that was recently introduced is pretty much useless as it is both...
- not fast enough to block a hotdrop from interfering in a random brawl that escalated (2 minute anchor time is an eternity).
- it does not prevent a hotdrop at all (it just moves it little further away... which is a pittence for slow moving gangs/fleets).
Nostalgia time: I remember there being a time where there was a massive battleship brawl with limited triage carrier support about once a month in the Minmatar-Amarr zones... the fight would kick off and random people from both militias would start piling into the system... the fight would rage for a good hour or two wih little interference and both sides would come out bloody... good times.
Once a month, you are only considering the 150+ pilot bashes then because as I remember it the large shin-digs were almost every weekend .. those Kamela-Kourmonen-Auga gates were submerged in blood in those days 
As for rest:
Mobile Jammer is pointless in a bubble-less area, true enough, but it does indicate that CCP knows something is amiss so that's something.
- Prohibit bridging into Empire space (includes lowsec for those who didn't know) unless to a specific hard destructible point, be it a mobile thingie or a POS.
- Remove all immunities from supers when operating in Empire space.
- Introduce delays on multiple jumps to same cyno, say 1-2 jumps immediately, 3-5th take 5-10s longer and so on. Call it a built-in Concord safety measure to prevent collisions or some such 
As for Original Post:
FW specific NPCs were meant to help CCP by giving them a way to tweak them without breaking all rats within 100 parsecs and to 'force' appropriate ships .. they just neglected to actually do the necessary follow-up.
- Dessie swarms are here to stay, nothing to do about those .. min/maxing at its finest .. but why doesn't that solo navy ship call for help when facing a gangrape scenario and why do they insist on driving Fiat Puntos in Le Mans?
Increase rat sizes/threat and spawn one extra rat for every 1.5-2 people in a plex, be it friendly or hostile, they will be weak enough to easily dispatch even in numbers provided at least some of ones crew are in appropriate ships . .that applies even if sizes/threat is upped (they are ridiculously weak now).
- Small/Novice have way too high a payout for the work/risk involved, especially considering that the number of spawns one can close. Halve LP on novices, by 1/3rd on smalls.
- Instead of spawning one of each size ad nauseum let each system hold three plexes with no other rules. Close a novice and respawn can be anything, lets see farmers farm systems when they have filled them to the brim with massive oaks by only going after the shrubbery!
- Sec. status should not move as long as one is in a militia and shooting people in the warzone. How is that for solution!?!
-- Standing hit for shooting blues increased many-fold and rules governing individual vs. corp standings tightened to prevent abuse (ie. faster kick of blue-on-blue repeat offenders). |
