Just received this:



Gotta love this.

CCP Greyscale
Can we get bigger nerf for Titan bridge?

I'm not stating smaller range, but additional rule :
- you cannot bridge people between regions.

This will create more nice choke points, and introduce new mechanic to the game, and put more pressure about ground control.
Capitals might jump between regions, but sub capital fleet WILL have to go by the regional gates.

CFC / N3 / PL will still have the numbers, the isk and their Capital Fleets.

One good thing.

Apparently, fully half of the 0.0 residents have either stopped, or are about to stop, their subscriptions.

That opens up a lot of opportunities for those that want a piece of the null pie but didn't previously have the manpower to do it. So CCP in one move get rid of the entitled dead wood and open up null to people that will actually use it.

Win/win

Steve Jobs once said "It's not the customer's job to know what they want". It's applicable here. Eve is a sandbox folks. The game play is emergent. When CCP makes a change like this, they can't predict with great accuracy what will happen. They might have a theory about what players will do, but they have no facts. No matter how smart you think you are, you have no facts either. Your theory may differ from theirs.

One thing is certain in a game like this. Stasis is bad. The current mechanics + player culture = two coalitions controlling a map that, for most 0.0 dwellers, is a sea of blue as far as the eye can see. In other words, the current mechanics have played themselves out, and this is the result. So, they theory-crafted some changes that they believe will shake things up. Maybe they will, and maybe they won't. It'll have to play out, and what happens will be the results of thousands of individual decisions that players make about how to adapt.

Nobody knows for sure what will happen. That's a hell of a lot better, when you're playing a game, than knowing for sure what will happen. Interesting times ahead.

Yea, cause F1 monkeys have all the skilz, oh wait, you don't even fit your own ships.

Jump 2 to a cyno.
Launch 2 rookie ships, light 2 cynos.
Jump 4, launch 4 rookie ships.
Jump 8...
16
32
64
128

That's 255 guys out in less than 5 minutes and they just leave the rookie ships behind.

This can be done 4 times for the whole fleet back-to-back. Tedium isn't good gameplay and it will be averted with stupid stuff like this.

Goons won't at all be affected by these changes, in fact they'll just grow stronger. They also aren't posting in this thread crying their eyes out.

This is a another huge nerf to super-carriers and titans. For better or worse, these ships have only a fraction of the ability they once had when they were released.

Is it possible for CCP to re-visit the issue of supers and titans being able to dock? Do you really think that with all the previous changes in addition to what is being planned, it still makes sense to keep these ships out of stations?

They also knew that their jump range would be cut horribly at some point?

Your quest for GRR GOONS is grasping at straws at this point, maybe go away for a few weeks and come back to see how the forum have exploded over the patch?

My bad, my phone auto corrected that
