That's a lot of bull. JFs are extensively used in nullsec because they can. 6 years ago there were way fewer jfs, yet somehow people still managed to wage huge wars (incidentally now that you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a jf noone seems to be fighting big wars anymore). The reason why jfs are used so heavily is because people need to have 5 replacement ships for each and every one of their 20 doctrines. It's because of people's wants, not because of their needs.

These changes should throw people out of their comfort zones, make them realise that 0.0 is actually the Wild West, bare bones, kill or be killed. You can't push someone out of his comfort zone only to a level he feels comfortable with, and that's what CCP is apparently trying to do.

Anyone else concerned by the new black ops concessions?

Here is what I fear;

1. Fleets of T3 refitting to covert ops to use the 8AU range of BOP
2. Cloaky Haulers being used to transport logistics
3. bridge all the way to friendly/NPC station and refit back into combat

-90% reduction on the hauler fatigue
-50% on the t3

90% of all fleets these days are T3+Logi

The Black ops are more accessible than titans, this looks to make long distance travel of T3 fleets much easier. Most of the supporting fleets these days are not capital but sub-capital t3 to bluster defensive fleets.

Onto the 90% reduction of fatigue for haulers, as most doctrine ships can fit inside a hauler with fittings and ammo I fail to see why jumpbridges just don't have a 10% fatigue instead.

just out of curiosity let us suppose the battle rorqual fleet was deployed

how long do you think we'd have to play around with it before it got nerfed :sun:

Dear CCP fozzie,

I would like to ask you when you gonne implement the jumpfuel reduction low slot mods that you prommised a while ago.


Thanks for the 10ly !!
