Except, the big fish will just install a capital fleet in every region, ready to use whenever they need it, the large coalitions/alliances have enough capital (hah, punn) to simply put 500 dreads and carriers in every single low/sec/npc null in eve.

the "smaller fish" won't afford that, so they will still be hell-camped.

I know you wouldn't do this but just to show the facts

yes that is 2.43 millennium.

Awesome changes. The most powerful ships are no longer the most mobile ones and large powerblocs have to reconsider where they place their forces as they just can't teleport to blob everything anymore.

Will certainly allow smaller groups to field capital ships without being blobbed to death by a superfleet.

Looks like WH people got the last laugh this year.

Will warp speeds be adjusted? Capitals warp exceptionally slow as it is.

Will supers and titans be able to jump through gates or only capitals? I like the idea that supers are totally restricted by jump fatigue while capitals can project themselves farther.

How about just take jump fatigue and give blackops a bonus obviating most of it? How about make a cyno have a mass limit? How about limit the distance of an "apex force" by further increasing fuel consumption and making jump fuel optimizer mods available as lowslots for all capitals? Make parties have to dump their fuel mods to refit & deal with jump fatigue & deal with multiple fleets/cynos due to mass limits. Coupled together it creates a logistic nightmare for large entities to move without hurting smaller entities.

How about you freaking measure twice and cut once? For once CCP.. measure twice and put some thought into this. I don't mean 4-6 weeks. I mean 2-3 months before you change the game. Don't experiment. Don't blame it on the blogs or the player base you used as a base line. Don't wait to see how the "meta shifts." Do the real work before you release something.

Can we buy PLEX to make the timer go down faster? Or make in-app purchases on a mobile application?

Also, the whole "fix" to deathcloning is a really bad idea. We need SOME way to quickly deploy to a hot area that requires it.

getting the general gist of this it hurts the little guy a bit too much

So...

1. Jump Ship
2. Clone Exits Ship
3. Fresh Clone Enters Ship
4. Jump Ship
5. Exited Clone Body Jumps Home
6. Rinse Repeat Until destination.

How closely have you considered the impact of the jump shock stacking to primarily black-ops PVP groups? Those pilots will be taking black ops bridges from target to target accruing high amounts of the jump penalty.

When I think of power projection problems, small gang black ops bombers and recons are not the kind of thing I think of.

Hang on... I just did some maths on your devblog example...

After jumping those 17.5 light years in 4 jumps, your example person has 706.74 jump fatigue... Unless I'm doing my maths wrong, it's going to take almost FIVE DAYS for that penalty to go away again.

What the hell.

Can CCP just give a clear yes/no on whether or not eviscerating the Black Ops fleet doctrine is intended? I've trained 3 accounts specifically to support running and doing the logistics for these fleets.

I don't want to waste my time/breath if the black ops drop is being mechanically removed from the game.

So the smaller fish will only have to deal with 500 caps rather than the entire supercap + capfleet. Sounds more manageable to me.

Awesome changes. The most powerful ships are no longer the most mobile ones and large powerblocs have to reconsider where they place their forces as they just can't teleport to blob everything anymore.

sooo tl;dr: in this blog, CCP doesn't understand exponential growth?

I'm having problems with the .1 wording as related to JF's. What would be the max JF LY range?

What can I say? This is a stupid idea on it's face. Null is stagnant so lets just see what we can do to make it even more stagnant and while we are at it lets just F$&K BLOPS all to H#ll.

Well done, CCP. I was wondering if I should keep three active accounts and you have just answerd that question.

WAIT! This is a ploy to get people to keep multiple accounts so they can avoid these penalties, isn't it?

Whatever... Closing two accounts. Will keep one for a while.

I love how the people lauding this change are all of the high sec pubbies that mine rocks all day or shoot red crosses. Tell us more about how great this is for a change that won't impact your bubble of safety at all?

yes that is 2.43 millennium.

- Cyno mass limits mean the alliance willing to create the most cyno alts wins, this is not a good thing to incentivize.

5ly range for jumprfreigthers forcing ships that can not even defend themselves to take gates and requiring 3 times as many cyno's fuel and what not do do logistics you really think that is a GOOD thing?

From a market hub to DEEP SPACE 0.0 it is around 50ly just how much time and money do you think people are willing to spend on a game that has nothing to offer? Yes JF's get a reduction in this time but it will still be 10+ jumps which means a massive time-sink. And you will be forced to take at least 5 regional gates in a 7billion ship + whatever you have loaded. Do you really mean to tell me that this is going to work out?

You still have not fixed mining it is impossible to sustain in null-sec without high-sec. Yet you are making the export and import from null-sec to high-sec and the other way around downright impossible?

I'm sorry I'm no genius I did not study game design only economics but even with the 2 semesters of game-theory we had to take I can tell this will kill your company. Because you are about to annihilate your one and only source of income.

Eve in terms of gameplay has only one thing going for it which is that it is a sandbox. PVE in this game is stuck in the 2000 era neither fun nor rewarding nor does it scale. No incentive to do PVE with friends neither is it engaging. Everything in eve takes forever and feels more like a second job then playing a game, and here you are telling us its fine to make it even worse? Please explain to me what studies you guys have done to think that this change will be well received. The problem was never that it was to easy to move the problem was that a fight that should be over in 20 minutes takes 2 hours because of TIDI. The issue you have is TIDI yet you are not addressing it why? Yes to an extend Jump-drives need a nerf but what you are going for right now is ridiculous: Titans -> Forced to take gates to get across regions ye t they have zero ability to defend them-selfs. Even worse logistics meaning Jumpfreithers are you telling me we will need an entire alliance to provide cover fleets every time we want to do logistics and every-time it is going to be 3-6 hour undertaking. Do you really think anybody wants to play a game like this much less pay for it?
