Is it me or does this seems like an uncharacteristically heavy-handed balance pass? Some of these ideas could be great if you applied them more specifically but at this point you're just swinging the bat as you walk through the room. Thumbs down.

Logistics is the life blood of 0.0 these changes WILL kill 0.0.

While these changes MAY be necessary to get the capital ship situation under control, these jump fatigue mechanics should NOT apply to sub-capitals ships. Sub capital ships using their Alliance jump bridges or black ops fleets sneaking around to cause shinanigans is NOT a problem in this game. No one's empire is collapsing to ashes due to unrelenting black ops fleets, and no one wants to hold a Sunday Night Black Ops fleet with 45 minute interludes between drops.

What if you try to launch a fleet for PVP roam and some of your guys have used the jump bridge recently. If your route intended to go through the bridge, go roam, then return home through the bridge, your fleet members may have a wide range of very different jump delay timers when it is time to return.

Forcing the 'everyman' in to more dangerous or time-consuming situations to accomplish 'everday activities' within the game will only frustrate young/new players, deminishing new-player retention.

MAYBE this mechanic makes sense for capitals. Maybe just super-capitals. But definitely DO NOT do this to pilots in sub-capital ships.

Bye... I miss you already.

Shocking changes never mind good luck ccp your need it

The tears... the tears are so delicious. Also, Bet PL won't take their Supers on a roam to lowsec once this change hits.

Does CCP even think about their next patch or just randomly guess changes? This will stagnate nullsec even more. The real target should be sov mechanics. Half of these changes also bite into eve's lore.

Eve is all about big fights and coalitions. Maybe add more systems to spread things out.

I believe that:

- Dreads and carriers, as lighter, less powerful ships, should not be subjected to the same level of penalty as the true behemoths of the game.
- Carriers have a unique and fairly well-balanced logistical capability, and should be allowed to maintain that capability as much as possible.
- Bridging through ships should not subject the same level of penalty as jumping - if bridging is penalized less harshly than jumping, then bridging can be used to project a light force forward, to bide time for the behemoths to get into position, and that's the way warfare should be.
- If the current iteration of the proposed changes is not tempered, the rorqual will be more useful in many combat situations than the chimera, and that's not the way EVE warfare should be.

Therefore, I propose that:
-Rather than a flat range limit for all capital ships, all (combat) capitals simply have their current maximum jump range halved.
-Mass is added as a factor in the accumulation of jump fatigue for (combat) capitals. This will affect regular capitals less than supercapitals, allowing them to be somewhat more mobile, but still significantly less so than their current state.
-Jump fatigue be greatly reduced for ships that are taking a bridge, allowing them to act as skirmish or fixing forces.

If you agree with some/all of my proposed changes, please +1, comment, etc.

YOU are Killing EvE again.


Looks like the best reason to QUIT now :

1. Life will get impossible in deep 0.0 and Capitals will become giant old ships that nobody want them.
2. Without any benefits from Capitals players will stop learning and building them and loosing goals = loosing players
3. Sure you hate 0.0 because of the stress on your servers due to 3000 pilot fights but that is the reason ppl join EVE, that is the reason EVE is so great.
4. This will not balance the 0.0 - it will take out the pleasure of 0.0 ppl to play EvE and a lot of them will QUIT.

My advice :
You have the CSM, use those ppl to come up with ideas to improve EvE.
Stop letting employes that did not play the game for a long time to change this game.
EvE is a great great game - stop changing the game.

I must admit, the player base adapts much better/faster than CCP.
