They say in space nobody can hear you scream, however the sound we all just heard from PL as they were bent over and royally screwed was deafening.

"Implemented a plan to change EVE Online from a MMO game to a full-time job for players, crashed subscriptions numbers which resulted in EVE Online getting shut down."

Just to point out, this change just gave us a huge advantage.

We don't need jump drives to deploy our 1000 megathrons on your head.

By extension, because my costs just went up and ships are so much more expensive now compared to pre-nerf, and because there isn't a proportionate increase in the ISK per hour generation in 0.0, the people in my alliance have to spend more time ratting or mining so that they can afford to buy ships.

Question.

How do you supply a small alliance on the outer edge of null with these changes to JF?

So a even bigger blue doughnut that we have now.. great

We have for years. You honestly think we of all people cannot keep ourselves entertained while we travel given our record for spending 10+ hours torching towers in bombers and hellcamping stations for week at a time?

This is like the ignorance version of whack-a-mole. Nullsec is all but missing a couple minerals found in pretty much everything you would ever want to build. Importing is the only option.

You see, in EVE, resources are distributed regionally. This requires trade. Trade which is becoming impossible.

Feel free to try this, I look forwards to your ALOD.

This thread makes one thing very clear: there's no change that wouldn't make baltec1 go "meh, we already adapted to it" :)

Whats hard with setting up a gate camp?

I thought it was put in so the grr goon mob can celebrate for a while then kick up a stink when they realise we adapted to the change before it even hit tranq.

Nope, that's what bubbles are for.

I'm going with bigger bubbles for regional gates.

Rigged cruisers? No. Buuut while we are talking about it...

Not entirely sure if this will work but my dream of roaming dreads just took a big step forwards. Anyway, 1.7 mil EHP, 3au warp speed, a metric fuckton of firepower, half a minute to align (two nano take that down to 22 sec). Frankly if I can get this things align time down to around a battleships I may use it in baltec fleet in an ultimate show of stubbornness. I shall call it monkfish.

CCP Grayscale what have you done?

So basically what you are saying is that if you have an emergency, you now are guarenteed to lose a multibillion isk ship. My fire alarm is going off, but I have to sit at my computer for 3 hours and wait this absurd timer off or lose something that took me 40 hours to get the isk for. Cant log off because combat timer. Well, might as well let my building burn down.

Problem here is that there are things that null cannot get locally and stuff that high sec cannot get locally. Trade still needs to happen, neither can be totally self sufficient.

the outer reaches of null will be all but abandoned.

Because hulls can be repackaged.

Planned new feature to address new player movement:
Thoughts? Pasting this into the FAQ and also trying to get it into the blog proper.

November sometime. Possibly just enough time for me to train into a dread.

I've thought about these changes a good bit, and like many in my alliance am both excited and concerned about these changes. A few questions, Greyscale:

1. What exactly do you see the point/goal being of jump drives in EVE compared to gates and jump bridges? Simply speeding up short-range travel for large ships, while still keeping it time consuming for them to move long distances?
2. What is the rationale behind the 5LY cap? We have a lot of experience with the 5LY cap - BlackOps ships were buffed from 5LY to their current range of 7.85LY at max skills because, even with gates, 5LY was just too short for a ship expected to jump much given basic eve geography. Perhaps this slightly longer range would be a better max, particularly for non-combat capitals?

It never will be unless your path is someway blocked. or your fatigue is at ZERO.

If you have a moros I would like to take it off your hands.

If null sec doesn't export moon goo to Jita (and uses it all for local production), there will be no T2 mods for High Sec.

Best case is a 50% drop in supply and you think that wont change prices?

That changes the situation with t2 ships how?

So nerf high sec?

Moons supply less isk than an ice miner per month.

Renters make us a lot of isk but we make massive amounts in high sec.

Go look at the income you get from a tower before saying these things, it will stop you from looking stupid.

If you actually think this is going to affect us more than the smaller guys, then I have a bridge to sell you.

You do know how fast those things warp right?

This is why people are saying "Congratulations CCP, you just made Goons win EVE."

Don't forget that an entity like GSF has massive numbers that we can now concentrate in good regions we would like to hold.

Funny thing here is that I am now training for a dread because of the changes. That's something I never expected to do..

For an entire month? Possible.

It must have been some sort of outlandish plan involving megathrons I had.

I have pulled off more unlikely things in the past

It did kinda pay off so I guess I can call this a victory in my obsession (stubbornness) in getting oversized ships to do strange and seemingly impossible things.

That's some serious hyperbole.

The SWG equivalent would be if CCP removed all blueprints/industry and gave everyone any item they wanted for 100 isk like on SiSi.

How many 11 year old games other than EVE have survived without making major changes along the way?

Not sure if you have noticed but near all null alliance leadership have shrugged their shoulders and told CCP to carry on.

you simply cant get there anymore.
