Really this is the key - you can't impact the meta game with game mechanics. In the end what would need to change this is to change how rapidly alliances can respond to an attack, and how rapidly they NEED to respond to an attack. Now, they only need to respond once every seven days to prevent loss of sov. Even a crippled monkey with one bad eye could manage to move a defense fleet into position in that kind of time.
The only thing that would cripple the rental feudalism we have no is if the renters suddenly had to defend the space they were holding because their landlords couldn't deploy their own forces fast enough. That's where the power projection nerfs come in. if the renters suddenly have to defend the space, they're not going to want to rent it, they're going to want to own it - they may as well, since they now have the headaches of sov defense.
So wait, you want either:
1) All sov structures destructable/capturable without any timers
or
2) Cooldown of x days to jump any jump capable ship? |

Um. *looks back at own post*
WTF dude, you have "I'll just make this **** up" trained to level 6? Not only are both of those ideas terrible, they're also very extreme, and in no way the only options availble to bring balance to the force. Tripling the size of nullsec would also go a long way to curbing the power projection issue (also, probably not a great idea, but there you have it).
My point is, and it's the same point others have made, this situation is a direct result of the fact that you can jump a capital fleet halfway across the game universe in about 15 minutes, smack the hell out of anyone attacking your home sov, and then jump back to your real war (or gudfites). Defending huge swaths of sov space is trivially easy - it's that trivally part that needs fixing.
Well how would you then fix it? There are really no options than artificially locking the mechanisms which are used for travel in the current form with a cooldown or a limit of some sort. Former already exists via the jump cap requirement, but with a few cap mods it's a moot point. |

So they rent it to people who wouldn't be able to get into nullsec any other way, which is fine, except that now the bored PvPers have to fly farther to find people to shoot. Which results in boredom and frustration whenthey fly all the way out there to find no fights. So the bored Pvpers unsub - which damages the game because we have less content creators. So more people unsub. And so on.
They have to fly farther into nullsec to do what? Attack the core of the landlords or just headshot the renters?
What happened to Catch and Provi being the best areas to do random PvP in? |
