Let us not also forget the nerfs to Capital industry that have occurred multiple times to make mineral moving more cumbersome.. Drone alloys vanished which we were able to move massive amounts of minerals with to build Capitals.. and as of the 22nd Module compression gets Burned. While they are adding POS compressing to everything and turning the rorqual to an overpriced Booster. Instant Refining, Instant Compression. In order for PL, CFC, N3 to maintain Capital superiority it needs logistical supplies to maintain building Capitals. By nerfing down the Logistical aspect of EVE, you are killing Null Industry that CCP has been working so hard to get established.
I love combat as much as the next guy.. Hate Tidi, but love super battles. But If Industry gets Nerfed all the way down, so does replacement lines for Titans, Carriers, dreads, supercaps. While we all Scream Thank F'n god.. Death to all Supers.. you are also now slaughtering all the Capsuleers spent years on creating the perfect titan or supercap pilots. Why keep that titan alt Subbed.. his titan Died and since Supply trains got nerfed.. there isnt even a supercap available to put him in. While power projection does need a fix, I won't argue that. This would not be a good way to do it.
Many players have mentioned forcing Alliances to actually use all that empty space. I think that Idea tends to work out best. If alliances actually have to remain in their space and keep it farmed, that forces them to stay at home more often and to hold less space. If suddenly your Ihub itself or TCU had requirements to meet then having forces in that system to use it would be more of a requirement. Renters are one way to look at it now. But say if there is space not being used.. It might degrade and the longer it's left alone.. start degrading quicker to the point the System Drops as the Populace revolts from the Sov holder. Things like EVE LEGION/Dust 514 could be used to throw further monkey wrenches in unused systems to cause them to revolt from the Sov holder, forcing them to return to the system to grab it back. I would say drop the Sov Costs of holding the aspect since now you actually have to tend to the system. This makes All that massive space suddenly have to be used, it's not easily handleable to keep all areas of Null farmed. Just make it to the point that it's doable to maintain decent Sov systems, But also a hassle if you want to own the world. That lets small and large blocs hold space Or fight over it etc.
With the amount of Nullbears out there, this type of a system wouldn't be that hard to maintain while not also owning everything due to having to move to those empty systems more often to maintain them. Systems drop to low services can be effected, instead of just... I owned X system deep behind the blue wall.. havent visited it for months.. but its still sov 5..
Just my 30 cents. |
