OCCUPANCY-BASED SOVEREIGNTY has been the mantra of many null alliances and when they give it to them by restricting ranges they begin to complain that they can't survive because their logistics can't manage. OCCUPANCY-BASED means you own it because you occupy and use the space. CCP have given them what they wanted with Phase one. I think what they really want is lower EHP structures so they can run all over smaller groups more easily because the way I see it this is a buff to smaller and medium sized alliances.
Occupancy-based Sovereignty doesn't mean chaining caps to home base. It means making systems able to support a higher concentration of people, and requiring active pilots to hold sov.
This isn't occupancy-based sov. If you leave to go do some other stuff, the reds can't jump in caps to take your space. |

As a player of 11 years i've seen alot of changes, some much bigger than others and in the past, changes that have made friends quit.
The said change proposed has it's ups and downs and perhaps shouldn't be implemented partially but as a whole with the player built stargates and Decembers release.
I'm not interested in starting any flames or revisiting this forum post in future to check replies so please don't take it personally i simply want to say....
If the changes go live and it means some people quit, then so be it. The null sec mechanics are boring, dull and have been broken for a long time now and i'm really happy that this is finally being addressed.
The changes need to be made and the game needs to go in a different direction, myself and some others in this post can see that direction i only hope you pursue it and bring life back into null sec and potentially bring new life and players into the game with it.

There are some problems with this.
An invading force would be required to move thousands of ships and mods. Which as we all know, with these changes would take forever. With the way the timers are set up, Big Blocks can easily push the timers for the 3rd one and have enough time to move their supers/cap fleet to the region. once they are there with their buddies they can just take gates as one unit. The downside is CCPs TiDi mechanics. Now instead of fights taking hours, traveling to a system to defend or attack will also take hours or not happen at all.
Fast Forward 5 months.
CFC/PL/N3 still own the same systems they do now. Except now they have more members. These members are not new recruits, they are new alts for Super Pilots and they are sitting in New Supers in another region that they own. Now they dont have to worry about cool down timers or anything. They just have to log in on that character and have the rest of the members jump clone to the station where they have stocked dreads/carriers and sub caps.
Change is needed, but these ideas are not thought out very well and tend to lead to more characters per person and the strengthening of NullSec as it is.

I wonder if alpha clones aren't a bit too stringent. (for the death cloning the to new home)
MOST corps have a 5m minimum for new recruits and many corps have steeper reqs than that. My own corp requires 15m. However i am not suggesting EVE pander to my corps recruitment policies. What I am trying to make clear is that a noob character (actual noob to the game) doesnt even really know how to look for or even join a corp/alliance. for the most part noobs think that their next step is to run missions/mine and that their rifter is the biggest most bad ass ship EVER. therefore my suggestion is perhaps make the clone limitation for deathcloning 5-10 mil SP. and that will allow these new young players to learn about eve online and eventually decide that they want to hate or love the CFC, that they like N3 or what ever new sov holding super powers have arisen at that time.
obviously the jump shock thing is huge...
i wonder if logistics ships should be effected at all....why should any one care if i move my jump freighter 350 light years? the only sort of force projection i can see coming from that is if i bring my combat ships/fittings in my JF and am flying with my 250 bro's in THEIR JF's to out destination...where we will dock and build our ships....to finally undock and bring battle to our foes...ectectect. those hard working logi duders are the very back bone to so much that eve online nulsec IS. B-R would not have happened if logi duders hadnt been able to seed those ships and ammo and jump fuels. dont want huge mega engagments like that? fine last night's roam would not have been possible in Geminate if my alliances logi duders hadnt been able to stock our markets with new hurricanes. Blacks ops being changes hurs my soul pretty hard. u can have my carrier and super....but black ops fleets are such rinse and repeat fleets that any sort of nerf there will destroy them.
i cannot count the fleets that i have dropped in to assassinate a target, jumped myself in, bridged my fighters home and jumped home myself only to set up for a new drop. i KNOW that larger groups like PL have dropped whole fleets of redeemers on supers and what not but frankly eve is not plagued by rampaging fleets of redeemers at every corner. eve is troubled by every one's ability to traverse the universe in their carrier/super of choice and jump into that mega battle which has been artificially prolonged by 10% TIDI. Black ops arent broken in my humble opinion.
B-R would STILL happen under the new system because all the encroaching fleets need to do is hold for 5-6 mins per jump to get rid of jump shock...so...30(ish) to arrive some where that is 5 jumps away? didnt B-R take 21 hours? i think the fleets will still converge.
Lowsec doomsdays.....why were these ever restricted? I think they are utterly stupid but i also think supers in general are really really really broken the gap between battle-cruiser and battleship is not that great, or is the gap from battleship to carrier/dread. why is the gap from carrier/dread to super soooo supreme? talking about a difference of 10's of thousands of DPS from carrier to super carrier and millions upon millions of EHP....such a huge gap is obviously game breaking.
sorry if some of this is inaccurate, just my understanding of the game as it stands today.

I'm right there with the family and RL real time is getting less and less and yet to even maintain any pace with the game requires more and more of the little time I have to PLAY.
With this proposed crap I will have to make a choice eve or life and sorry CCP but your game is nothing more than writing up help files for people and informing them of correct game mechanics.
Why should I pay for the privilege of documenting your game and when it comes to it spend 20 hours or more trying ( as I never appear to succeed ) to do something fun.
you have taken so many nights and days over the years just to crap on me from a height then have the audacity to ask me for a report just so you can improve how fast and consistently you can curl a new stinking whopper out.

Simplest solution would have been for the major blocs to do away with NBSI and instate NRDS in all territories. Simply create a site like the CVA use to tell who is blue and who is sos and encourage neutrals to use the unused space. This isn't a problem with the mechanics of null sec this is a problem with the mind set of those who own vast amounts of territory.
The truth is the vast majority of those who would like to get into null don't because a lot of people don't want to rent esp. if their owners are assholes who they can't count on to defend them and the renters know it.
If the major blocs opened their null space to neutrals in the same way Providence does there would have been plenty of gud fights all over the ******* place and **** tons of more content but the largest null empires won't because they be scared of what could happen if they let neutrals in. Meanwhile those in Providence reap the benefits of all the content they create that others claim to want and Providence does it by allowing neutral 3rd parties into their space. This is what generates content that people want.
To put it blunt the majority of null is is full of pussies who want gud fights but aren't willing to make the concession that by acting like isolationists in the same manner as nations like N.Korea they get stagnation and less content. Their pussies not because they won't show up for a fight with over whelming numbers but because you won't let anonymous 3rd parties use your space out of the FEAR of losing your shiny ratting / plexing whatever the **** you do to make isk ships. Mean while those in Providence reap tons of content the larger blocs only wish they had and Provi does it everyday with but a primarily sub cap fleet. God save the rest of null if Providence ever starts encouraging the proliferation of cap fleets and find the FC's to actually start using them to good effect.
There's a reason people flock to Providence and it's because when their there they can run anomalies, mine and do all the other stuff you can do in null sec without asking permission to do it from anyone.
You can do that in anyone else's territory as I do it every day but the majority of people like those who make up Providences 3rd parties want somewhere they can put down roots without being someones *****. So who can blame people who would rather pay station fees and take the occasional loss due to a misunderstanding then be the rental whores of any other null bloc.
Truth is mechanic's aside the stagnation that EVE experiences today is experiencing today is a result of the NBSI policy that the vast majority of Null alliances adhere to and now CCP has to come up with mechanics to somehow fix what is really a problem with the null sec players mindset.
Basically you have the leadership of null sec unable to change the way they do things so their asking for CCP to fix it for them but i'm sure as just in the past it won't matter what CCP does if the leadership of null sec isn't willing to change how they operate and view people outside of their alliances using their space then there will be nothing but stagnation.
The policy of NBSI and those who follow it is basically that by doing the same thing over and over they expect a different result and it just doesn't work that way. If you all let people in your space and shot those in your neighbors space you'd all have plenty of gud fights. If this is what everyone in null was doing then we wouldn't even be having this threadnaught |

The main change still applies, if BLOPS jump that far they will have a way higher "jump fatigue", so there is not really a big upside except they can bride/jump longer distances at once. Also BLOPS and everything they can bridge is really bad compared to any conventional (and actual used) fleet doctrine. |

I will say that I like the idea behind jump fatigue in limiting the distance a capship can travel in a period of time, but the actual math and timer calculations behind it are a bit too complicated to understand at a glance. They also seem arbitrary, and could use another pass or two before being put on SISI for testing. Glory |

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. |

Yes, they will. That's part of the point. From the looks of it, CCP is trying to push nullsec groups into mining, refining, and building locally in nullsec, rather than getting everything you need in highsec and shipping it out to nullsec for consumption. That was part of the though with the Crius industry changes, to reprocessing in particular.
It makes perfect sense why they're doing it, too. Much of nullsec sits unused, despite being "owned", and the resources out there could fuel local economies, T2 / T3 production, the whole nine yards. Yet, people enjoy the convenience of loading up a JF in Jita and jumping off back to null for one-stop shopping. If you kneecap near-instant logistics, you suddenly create local demands that can be satisfied by manufacturers in nullsec.
Also, keep in mind, if the current vision for EVE pans out, within a few years we're going to be moving out into unknown space, colonizing new systems, opening new stargates, and the like. On the frontier, you harvest resources available to you, rather than running back to developed space for everything you need.
As an aside, I understand that from a personal level, a lot of people have invested time and money into being logistics pilots with JFs, good JDC skills, and all that. Anytime a nerf happens that hits you where you spent SP and ISK, it hurts. But I hope that you and everyone else out there in the same boat will see that we need to make the universe big once again.
Besides, there's always opportunity in these changes... last time I checked, there were cloaky haulers that can ferry loot to and from trade hubs quickly. If people can no longer transport items via JF (easy mode), maybe there's money to be made in a new market? Maybe an EVE version of Western Union? One small problem - all the materials you need to do production do not exist locally in deep sov null, and these systems can be 30+ LY from lowsec and with a regional gate larger than 5 LY in between. Please tell me how living in such an area which cannot support local production and now requires a full time job consisting of some of the most tedious and boring "gameplay" in eve to supply it is going to be fun at all. Eve is not a job it is a game, I don't sub to eve so I can spend 4 hours a day doing boring sh*t logistics work and gate jumping so that maybe if I'm lucky I can spent the last 15 min I am online doing something I enjoy. To fix this the 5 LY limit absolutely must be changed and should be based on ship class, not some absurd blanket limit for every ship in the game. And for the love of god this jump fatigue crap that requires me to have a spreadsheet open at all times needs to be simplified and capped. A max jump cool down of 1-3 days for someone that went full ****** and crossed the galaxy accomplishes the goal of keeping them out of any fights for several days without the stupid numbers being quoted today. I really have little interest in playing a game that consists of me sitting in a station and watching a timer count down to tell me when I can do something fun again, And all the idiots saying they used to supply nullsec with Indy/freighter convoys before there we're jump drives - that was before the warp speed changes. There is no way in hell I would pay to play a game that required me to jump a freighter at 5+ min per system 30+ jumps into hostile space. There is no fun to be had there.
There is an answer right there in your text, if its far away what you need then move there, problem solved, and if you think that NULL cant support building T1 hulls, well go and read some of eve uni wikis. Now you say you need to build T2 blablabla... how about adjusting to the new system, if you wont someone else will. Its really simplee, most of the heavy stuff you can acquire in NULL everything else you can ship in. |

Pretty sure there would be far simpler more arbitrary rules to achieve the same effect. Just a fixed rate jump cool down timer of 10 minutes would be good enough to allow smaller entities to deploy caps in the knowledge that a large entity 2 mids away might be 30 minutes away from crashing the party. A party that wont last 30 minutes because no instant escalation.
Also, so my jump freighter can no longer reach anywhere from jita undock? |

Besides, there's always opportunity in these changes... last time I checked, there were cloaky haulers that can ferry loot to and from trade hubs quickly. If people can no longer transport items via JF (easy mode), maybe there's money to be made in a new market? Maybe an EVE version of Western Union? One small problem - all the materials you need to do production do not exist locally in deep sov null, and these systems can be 30+ LY from lowsec and with a regional gate larger than 5 LY in between. Please tell me how living in such an area which cannot support local production and now requires a full time job consisting of some of the most tedious and boring "gameplay" in eve to supply it is going to be fun at all. Eve is not a job it is a game, I don't sub to eve so I can spend 4 hours a day doing boring sh*t logistics work and gate jumping so that maybe if I'm lucky I can spent the last 15 min I am online doing something I enjoy. To fix this the 5 LY limit absolutely must be changed and should be based on ship class, not some absurd blanket limit for every ship in the game. And for the love of god this jump fatigue crap that requires me to have a spreadsheet open at all times needs to be simplified and capped. A max jump cool down of 1-3 days for someone that went full ****** and crossed the galaxy accomplishes the goal of keeping them out of any fights for several days without the stupid numbers being quoted today. I really have little interest in playing a game that consists of me sitting in a station and watching a timer count down to tell me when I can do something fun again, And all the idiots saying they used to supply nullsec with Indy/freighter convoys before there we're jump drives - that was before the warp speed changes. There is no way in hell I would pay to play a game that required me to jump a freighter at 5+ min per system 30+ jumps into hostile space. There is no fun to be had there. There is an answer right there in your text, if its far away what you need then move there, problem solved, and if you think that NULL cant support building T1 hulls, well go and read some of eve uni wikis. Now you say you need to build T2 blablabla... how about adjusting to the new system, if you wont someone else will. Its really simple, most of the heavy stuff you can acquire in NULL everything else you can ship in.
Yes, I totally see people in nullsec flying primarily T1 hulls...not. I'm not saying you can't do it, but if I have 10 hours per week to play eve and I used to get to spend 9 hours doing something I find fun and 1 hour on tedious logistics work, and now I find that I'm spending 8 hours on tedious logistics and have 2 hours left for fun it's probably time to move on to some game where the devs are a bit less clueless. |

So the game is not evolving, its actualy rolling back Eve is a sandbox, you just have to adapt. Well i have done that since 2005, but i cant adapt to get more RL time to play the game Ha ha cap pilot tears are the best tears. Ya proberbly, but stil sux to loose the one asset we had so we could live in 0.0 as a small corp Again, i have been changing play style since 2005, every hick up, every "awsome" change, in general they have not toutched the one thing i cant do anything about, RL time to play the game. Over the years they actualy made it a tad easyer. I will wait and se, but these changes might be that one magical drop in the glass Kinda sux getting a felling about being forced out of a game because i want to keep a RL to. (Im a semi old fart with family and a job) This exactly. These changes do not make it harder for me to play - they make it impossible. I will unsub over the JF nerf because I have no choice. Those suggesting we produce locally in 0.0 or use blockade runners are ignorance incarnate, dancing around on stilts wearing clown costumes. Bye... I miss you already. You wont be missed. |
