Hopefully my maths is good so here goes on Black ops with 50% reduction in jump fatigue bonus.
First Drop; Fatique 0, Range 5ly
Timer: (5 + 1) x 50%bonus = 3min
New Fatique: 3
Return to origin; Fatique after 5min (3GÇô(5x0.1)) = 2.5, Range 5ly
[Fatique < Minimum Timer] Timer: (5 + 1) x 50%bonus = 3min
New Fatique: 3 x 2.5 = 7.5
Second Drop; Fatique after 30min (7.5-(30x0.1)) = 4.5, Range 7.5ly
Timer: 4.5min
New Fatique: 4.5 x ((7.5 + 1) * 50%bonus) = 19.125
Return to origin; Fatique after 5min (19.125GÇô(5x0.1)) = 18.625, Range 7.5ly
Timer: 18.625min
New Fatique: 18.625 x ((7.5 + 1) * 50%bonus) = 79.16
Third Drop: Fatique after 30min (79.16-(30x0.1)) = 76.16, Range 7ly
Timer: 79.16min
New Fatique: 79.16 x ((7 + 1) * 50%bonus) = 304.63
Return to origin; Fatique after waiting 80min (304.63 GÇô (80 x 0.1)) = 296.63, Range 7ly
Timer: 296.63min / 4.9hours
New Fatique: 296.63 x ((7 + 1) * 50%bonus) = 1186.5
Summary:
GÇóAfter the third drop you have to wait approx. 1hour20min to jump back home.
GÇóAfter returning home from third drop you will wait approx. 5 hours before being able to jump again
GÇóThe accumulated fatigue after 3 drops will take 8.2 days to decay!!!!!
GÇóYou are limited to a max of three drops when starting with zero fatigue, even less if you start with some fatigue already active.
Limiting Black Ops to 2 possibly 3 drops is definitely harming them in my opinion. The same applies to titan bridging gangs on a local basis which provides hours of fun and does nothing for power projection.
Base the bonus for Black Ops around the ORIGIN system, like a GÇ£Going homeGÇ¥ bonus, example;
Johnny drops on a shiny ship 5ly away. He gets 3 fatigue. He jumps back to the home/origin system, the bonus kicks in and significantly reduces or negates fatigue for that jump.
Create a bonus for Titan bridging that originates in the same system so that local content does not get stifled which is what is about to happen. Your aims for these changes is to limit power projection, making local content harder to access does not have to be a side effect.
Example: Johnny takes Titan Bridge to drop on shiny ship 5ly away. He gets 6 fatigue. He burns back to ORIGIN system and stacks back on the Titan. He bridges a second time from the same system into the same immediate vicinity, bonus kicks in and resets his fatigue back to 6 or whatever. However any other subsequent jump from any other system will incur normal fatigue penalties, which means your original idea for crippling long distance travel still applies for any movement away from the origin system.
So in closing please CCP come up with a bonus fatigue reduction system for Black Ops and Titan Bridges that take into account the ORIGIN/HOME system on subsequent jumps so as to not stifle local content.
