from the looks of it, the other side enjoyed the turkey shoot and the amount of tears that will flood this thread and probably many others.

Before all you tards in CFC start qqing about jump in lag or spending hours in a cyno tunnel, maby your coalitions should have been smarter, you know like staging the dreads in system in the STATION YOU CAN DOCK IN before the fight and used those 1000 domis to establish station control to assist on the undock. But hurdur that would require thinking. Cant have that now can we, Oops its ccp's fault.

it is actually.

99% of Eve players don't have such problems. Why? Because they don't make blobs and overload nodes.

It's YOU have chosen this playstyle. No one forced you to go there. YOU did it.


We all know that blobs make TiDi and lags. And we KNOW that it is impossible for CCP to fix it any time soon. Whining on forums does nothing for it. It is just politics and meta gaming you mentioned.

The whole coalition thing is out of game anyway.

I believe CCP can make impressive gains by diversifying sov mechanics. We aren't going to prevent 4000 people from accumulating to smash something, but we definitely can make gains by requiring roughly equal sized groups in disparate places.

Malcanis, is this an indication that there is a plan to fix null sov (that the incumbents won't like)? Or were you simply meaning that solution would not be well received?

Yeah I do but you guys do pretty well with subcaps. If Failcon decided they didn't like you anymore or you decied you wanted new puppets in Branch you could easily squish them with the regional bridges. Which is a very good incentive for Failcon to stay in your coalition.

Without those regional bridges they could tell you to go feck yourself with some decent safety :)

Maybe, but it is simply a matter of a coder changing one value on a database and suddenly it is in range.

Well, on a technical level, I strongly doubt they would hardcode the distance between regions/systems into multiple lines of code. That would break so many rules of coding, I just can't see it happening.

Now, on how it changes the game, that is a non-trivial issue.
But if the concept of altering the capabilities of power projection is being discussed, that in and of itself is non-trivial, so yeah, I think messing with the ranges between regions / systems is certainly a valid discussion.

Here is the tactic that should have been done in this particular situation:

Drop 100 +/- Dominixes to remove the MCJ. (or as many as you need to simply get your position for the cyno, or who knows, maybe 500 rifters could have done this and light a cyno)
Jump In Titans + Short range Dreads (have some back up, maybe 600 in, rest on hold)
Dominix fleet holding in SV5 ready to move in.

This coming from the Goons who used the same tactic of blobbing the system to cause disconnects and server lag for years dating back to the first war against BoB.

The Shrike Titan Kill for instance?
