All ships designated as having a "hauling" role in ISIS (ie the following ship groups: Industrial, Blockade Runner, Deep Space Transport, Industrial Command Ship, Freighter) will similarly get a 90% reduction to distance counted for the purpose of fatigue generation. Obviously they can't jump themselves, but this also applies on use of bridges or portals.
We are adding some additional code to allow us to put a bonus on jump portals that reduces fatigue generation for all ships jumping through that portal. This will be applied to Covert Jump Portals, with a value of around 50% (subject to further tuning). This means that all ships using a black ops portal will generate less fatigue.
So, industrials will inherently get less fatigue, and covert jump portals will subject ships to less fatigue. What kind of fatigue should we expect on a blockade runner jumping through a covert jump portal?
Once they put up a mirror, I will answer this for you.
I've been bouncing an idea around in my head that could remove a lot of this whole nightmare but create an even bigger one for us anyway.
Rather than fatigue, we have to 'lock on' to our cyno and scan res determines how long it takes us to do it. Using our jump drives and the range they have is determined by a long range locking ability. It's a timer just like the one we have now but it's an up front timer, not a back door timer and would go much further in preventing ninja Capitals. |

This would not work as intended; the cooldown timer after each jump is supposed to get worse with each jump; back-door timers are inevitable and necessary. Using them to ninja their way into a fight isn't inherently bad, just the frequency and superiority of that approach.
I was actually thinking of the fight in progress when I thought this up. 
As a capital fleet locks their escape cyno, I drop a remote ECM from a Super carrier and watch them burn.
I'm evil that way... |

One guy offered to contract me fifty billion Isk worth of his stuff still sitting down in Delve, and said if I could get it back for him he'd follow me anywhere. :)
Add me to this group.
Every Sov war since they began has been an Evac in the making. That's not even a realistic option now unless you are 5 AU to a mechanically forced, neutral position - .aka NPC stations. I'm wondering if that's not the underlying plan though.
To be realistic though, I don't know what CCP can do to get me to dedicate to Null. It still feels like a suckers bet and a scam. |

Rowells wrote:Btw, has CCP addressed the mechanics involved with gate travel (warping fleet to 0, appearance on other side of gate) with specifics yet? Last I checked on sisi, two titans could easily occupy the same space on the other side of the gate after jumping through.
And once they all break cloak the bowling begins. When this first came out, bump mechanics were brought in to question. If supers are on the move, I would have no choice but to dock up. My FPS will become frames per minute just waiting for the Titans to situate. |
