Have there been changes to death-clone camping, or did I miss that in a different thread? Death clone camping is handled by the new medical clone changes that are being implemented right now. The short version is that you'll always be able to intentionally revoke your clone contract somewhere and have it reset to your rookie system. wait what, where is this

You modify either the behavior of the horse or the behavior of the person using it. Nullsec sov, politics and combat methods have everything to do with what motivates the users of these ships and not the ships themselves. You hobble the horse, he's not worth his feed so its off to the auction block with him. You give the rider gloves and a shinguard and he never learns how to manage the animal. You are treating the symptoms not the problem.

I'll do the douche-y thing of quoting myself in hopes that it gets addressed. Original Post this is a really stupid idea nobody will ever use why, you ask? because that net of characters is way, way more expensive than just adding a second character + carrier

If you cannot make ahalf a dozen friends in an MMO the thing that needs a real buff are not JF, but your social skills i have organized several freighter ops recently i can assure you not one bit of fun was had by anyone in the game at all as part of those ops, either on our side or hostile

It would probably help everyone as it is literally impossible to take part 1 of a 3 phase plan and hold it on overal merits if we do not know parts 2 and 3 even loosely. Specifics are not required - just something of the greater plan we can hold these changes up against. At this point (to use a crapy TV analogy) we are basically arguing about whodunnit after watching part 1 of a 3 part TV murder mystery show! the reason there's not any details is probably that steps 2 and 3 are currently in the "this is what we want the endpoint to be" and not "we have figured out how to get from a -> b". you don't want to talk about the goals when you're still figuring out if you can even get there - some goals are easy to say but insanely hard to implement and you might need to throw those out. for example: everyone always says that sov battles should require everyone to split their forces and contest multiple objectives, to combat lag. it's a good goal, but nobody has ever proposed a mechanic that implements it - all proposed mechanics the dominant strategy is still to combine your forces and crush each one of your enemy's dispersed forces in turn and nobody's been able to come up with a mechanic where that strategy isn't the best move

Something that is MORE important military wise than the speed of movement itself. "the hauler, which must travel a known path and is dead the instant it lands in a bubble, cannot be intercepted as easily as a 2s align interceptor, which is bubble immune and can warp before you lock" "these things i believe, the above and the importance of eating paint chips for lunch"

THey will JUMP trough a Jump bridge in a hauler get a ceptor on the other site and run the last few jumps on it. When returning They dock the ceptor get the hauler and use the jump bridge AGAIN in the hauler. Advantaeg? they did not hurt at all their fatigue. THat means that later in the day if they need to use their carriers, they can make a force d fast travel of 2 jumps without being worried about having been previously fatigued during the day. this is an even dumber plan than your initial one like seriously people, look at this
Retar Aveymone GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 1009	Posted - 2014.10.10 15:42:00 - [15] - Quote Kagura Nikon wrote: WHY WOULD THE HAULER USE A GATE DAMMIT? At least not more than 1 every jump bridge sump. Since it can use the bridges to move fast and without chance of being detected . You can move 300 Pilots more QUIETELY this way than with interceptors depending on the geography of the region. yeah, see, this is another brain-dead argument by someone who has never been in nullsec i don't get 300 pilots without broadcasting enough the spies all know to tune in

See that right there is the problem with you null bears, you are exactly the kind of people who expect easy, instant gratification...moving that kind of value, I.e. 35bil a piece, should never have anything but beyond impossible tagged to it. The fact that you can move that kind of value from highsec out to nullsec with such ease just validates the point that it should be significantly harder and put at significantly higher risk. Here's a novel idea, given the size of freighters and the massive cargo hold of them, why not take into consideration all of the m3 of the contents being moved inside the freighter in addition to the freighters mass. It would make Titan bridging freighters or having them jump through a JB cost a about a billion in fuel. It's rather ironic that you used the word "egg," because an egg is exactly what I meant by 35b -- the top tier outpost upgrade platform (the monument) is a single item that is 750k m^3 and costs 14.4b, and it looks like an egg when you deploy it in space. You have no choice but to use freighters to get this item into nullsec. You have to put all your egg (singular) into one basket in this case. yeah, and the other 20b is in the other egg freighters that have to accompany it plus, an outpost egg alone is like 25b and must be freightered
Retar Aveymone GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 1010	Posted - 2014.10.10 16:06:00 - [20] - Quote Bronson Hughes wrote: A question for CCP Greyscale: If one of the goals of these, and future, changes is to get nullsec industry to become more self-sufficient, wouldn't it make sense to focus more on limiting the moving of goods (i.e. changing hauler movement mechanics) between empire and nullsec than to focus on limiting the movement of goods period? If you want nullsec industry to take off, it needs to be easy to move goods within your own territory, and to encourage that growth it needs to be hard to import materials into nullsec from empire. No particular suggestion here, just a question/observation. this is dumb the issue is there is no cost-effective way to get the materials locally (and for many materials, no way period)
