I guess I forgot to mention that dictor/hictor bubbles do the same thing. At sufficient distances from the POS, the guns can't reach you. Bubble, light cyno, in come fatigue-bonused covert ships to clean up defenseless T1 haulers in complete safety from the POS guns. Game over.

Vlade Randal wrote:+1 Great idea changing jump freighter jump range to 10ly
The Rorqual is used a lot in nullsec transport, for dropping control towers, fueling pos, and as an alternative logistical transport ship for those lacking the skills or isk for a jump freighter. It plays a vital role in current nullsec logistics at present. Therefore, I suggest that the rorqual should also have the 10ly range to enable it to continue its vital role in 0.0.
The only other suggestion I would make, is that 5ly is marginally short for reaching key logistics points that have stations to dock in. Several of the jump routes i have looked at are 5.1ly to 5.8ly. Therefore I recommend increasing maximum jump range of combat vessels to 6ly. This would still achieve the goal of reducing force projection, while keeping it reasonably painless to move combat ships over time when needed.

So what is going to be the standard convoluted CCP explanation as to why JF's can go further distances with less fatigue than all the other capitals?

That is very true. RIP Cranes. Tackling haulers is reasonably easy as they are bulky and even if they can cloak in null a single interdictor can cause a lot of damage. Been on both sides and I don't think that either one of them would be overpowered.

Hello I am talking to you. You do realize people are now up in arms because a power projection nerf that doesn't hit everything is worthless. These special snowflakes that have slipped past the full scorn of the nerfbat will be abused beyond belief. If you do not think so I think you are gravely naive. With that said I am personally ok with them because I BELEIVE that the changes are only temporary till you get further along the roadmap. I really think you all have a well thought out plan and people havn't begun to see how things you have changed in the past year fit into the roadmap.
However I encourage you to please be more forthcoming on the roadmap. Let players know whats in the pipe. You don't have to give specifics or exact release dates "Work In Progress". Forgive me for pointing out that we as Eve players have been told so many times throughout the years that " we CCP will get to it". Now I think you are doing wonderful and have earned back most of my confidence in CCP. However , I am not sure the same can be said for a large part of the community. Things like Hilmars "players don't know best" or "18 months" spring to mind.
TL ; DR
Step up and Communicate.

Gorgof Intake wrote:When I read of the upcoming changes I was so excited. On forums and over Comms you could feel the anticipation of changes this fundamental to the game. Chaos. Uncertainty. Vulnerability. Finally.
Skip forward to now and there is a deflation and concern that the Devs involved in these changes are going to bend to the overwhelming cries of the uninspired out there. It's a lot of pressure on you. Its almost instinctual now that no matter what you post, some ******* is going to threaten to unsub because of it. You could be turning the contents of the sandbox into golddust and still people will complain they dont like the color yellow.
Greyscale, your original changes were spot on. Null sec logistics, movement and resupply needed an overwhelming nerf. By reeling back those changes to something mediocre I dont think you will get the desired effect. I think you are underestimating the Eve communities ability to adapt to change and overcompensating (at the risk of actually creating content and instability) for forum whining that is based more on players ingrained conservatism or perhaps more sinister, the wish to protect their own income sources at the expense of the greater good and longevity of the game as a whole.
I ask you this again Greyscale. In the framework of the 4 listed points above, now that I can still logistically resupply my alliance with little to no risk, how does this fit into a vision of smaller entities, limited coalition spread and a populated, semi independent nullsec?
Humanity has always been dragged kicking, crying and screaming into the future by those brave enough to enact their vision. Don't ***** out on us now that you are so, so close.
EDIT: Also, this is the first time I have posted on the Eve-O forums in nearly two years. God, I feel dirty.
Well, Greyscale said it himself:
CCP Greyscale wrote:We would like nullsec to transition to a new status quo over time in as orderly a manner as possible, and maintaining as much of its current population as possible (or increasing it, obviously), while still actually achieving the new status quo. We're of the opinion that if we push the 5LY range through now, we'll lose a lot of nullsec players while they try to reach a new equilibrium, and it's possible that it would significantly reduce the carrying capacity of nullsec overall, which is not an outcome we'd be happy with.
a) Chaos is bad, order is good (Reading a michael moorcook book would give some good hints where going full order ends, it is stagnation and death of everything) b) Keeping the residents happy is more important than motivating or aquiring new players in null c) Forcing the cashcow with the "carrying capacity" to move a tiny bit (though the new fields may be greener) will never happen. Good for incursions , renters and quasi-renters, sucks to be lowsec or j-space, since those do not count
Less than 24 h ago eve was full of anticipation and excitement for new things to come, some liked what they saw coming some did not. But there was life out there. Now it went straight to "this will cement everything in stagnation even more" resignation and people actually abbandoning the last bit of hope. What good is supposed to come from these new changes? A few smallscale capfights more, that is all.

In the example posted here http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/long-distance-travel-changes-inbound/?_ga=1.34303975.776383066.1396348573 you write "After waiting for 23.5 minutes at the convenient local station, his fatigue is down to 119.79. He jumps again, to 2R-CRW GÇô 4.9 LY. At this point his cooldown timer is 2 hours 2 minutes 8 seconds, and his fatigue is 706.74. At this point his total distance travelled is 17.51 LY, leaving him with 37.04 LY to go. He looks at his map, and finds a 40-route jump through nullsec to get to the same destination, and figuring two minutes per system, his warp travel time for the whole journey is a bit over half the cooldown for his next jump. He decides to fly there directly rather than trying to jump any further."
If you really think I (or the rest of eve community) will gatejump any our capitals 40 jumps in nullsec you are insane.. I will quit eve long before I even consider doing this. And I will not wait days of week to complete the trip either!!! I understand the need to nerf combat capital ship movments, but I need to be able to use it for logistic purposes also.
I do not know if the math behind all the different spreadsheets available online are correct, but if you look at this example https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IjH2JyeTd0suTC43REymnoiD2TF70HxbkRWqNtJjqds/edit?pli=1#gid=0 I clearly see that it need to be a upper limit on how much fatigue you gain and accelerate the rate it is reducing with!
I'm ok with having to sit in station for some time, even a few hours after some jumps but there need to be a upper limit. This is a game. it's suppose to be fun, but with those changes its nothing even close to fun if you need or want to move your capital.
For PVP purposes again, yes I understand the need to nerf them, but if a single pilot is trying to help his corp moving assets and ships safely into or out of nullsec it will be close to impossible
Please consider at least a upper limit on the cooldown that enable a capital pilot to still enjoy the game. |

HIC gets you at a gate/station - burn clear or kill it. Also solves station game asshattery. This would have to be only against supers and capitals, as I can see HIC's being used to cause havic and could be worse then the asshattery with light interdictors and bubbling of stations and being able to re-dock immediately. The part of this I dont see working, is if you have 20 supers on a gate with neuts, that hic wont be able to have his modules active for much of anything, and then there goes his tank and his point. Also who gets gate guns agro, does the hic get the agro because he agressed a super? if this is the case and you want gate to gate combat, then give the supers back their drones, or allow them to fit aka rapid light launchers or something to mix it up a little. Also CCP greyscale one thought came up about supers and gates, I think the main problem people see is that you are going to have 200 man super fleets going gate to gate for lols. You should make the gate guns hit harder on capitals who choose to agro in lowsec, aka damage fit the class, also if the capital agro's on the gate, his other capital buddies should not be able to remote rep as he is flagged a criminal. -BC
It could be tweaked, I certainly wouldnt want the bubble effect to do it! That why I figured a script or equivalent, potentially also blocking remote sebos too.

Vlade Randal wrote:+1 Great idea changing jump freighter jump range to 10ly
The Rorqual is used a lot in nullsec transport, for dropping control towers, fueling pos, and as an alternative logistical transport ship for those lacking the skills or isk for a jump freighter. It plays a vital role in current nullsec logistics at present. Therefore, I suggest that the rorqual should also have the 10ly range to enable it to continue its vital role in 0.0.
The only other suggestion I would make, is that 5ly is marginally short for reaching key logistics points that have stations to dock in. Several of the jump routes i have looked at are 5.1ly to 5.8ly. Therefore I recommend increasing maximum jump range of combat vessels to 6ly. This would still achieve the goal of reducing force projection, while keeping it reasonably painless to move combat ships over time when needed.
Id say keep the 11LY range, this would ensure the logistics side of null isn't hurt but curbing the forces projection that we all dread.
Bring back the small gang warfare we all love and not break the eve economy!
on another note maybe not change the range of capital ships but change the mechanics for cynos jump bridges and portals to alliance only, add 5min cool down on jump drives for STD caps and 1 min on Rorq Jump freighter and black ops ,
this would reduce the large scale blobs and not eliminate the 80 v 80 battles that are fun and don't need Tidi...

CAN YOU NOT SEE THE PROBLEM HERE?
This is as bass-akwards a solution to any problem as I have ever seen.
If there were geek police in the world they would be monitoring this thread and revoking geek licenses left and right.
Remember, in a year or two, someone is going to drag up these old posts and taunt you with them.
If you feel foolish when they do, don't blame me because I TRIED to warn you.
I think the more sensible people are more concerned about the viability of seeding areas with ships, then using indys as jump taxis to essentially bypass timers and restrictions CCP tried to create. An argument rages whether interceptors are better/faster for this.
Me, I think people aren't dumb and it will be a mix of both ship types.
I do not agree with sub cap transports being gifted fatigue reduction now. I can see a need to perhaps assess that later, but right now I wouldnt see the issue with the sub cap transports being left as originally slated. |

If this becomes a widespread usage pattern we will likely take action, and we'll be keeping a close eye on everything surrounding capital movement after Phoebe.
So what you are saying is: You are nerfing ships/specialized fits for getting used. Why is the Ishtar still in game then? Ishtars don't have jump drives? You clearly fail to read. Greyscales statements imply that they don't care about anything else - they will nerf ANYTHING ppl use a lot just bc , well, they use it. So, on a subcap level, why is the Ishtar still there then? This game is basically Ishtars Online for anything subcap.
What he said is when people start to "ab"use something to baypass a intendet design goal, then they will change that.

You made a bold move before. I'm surprised and saddened to see CCP cave again. The logistical challenges ahead were the most interesting part of the nerf. I know, you'll get to it later, sure. Like you did with Incarna. I'm still waiting to meet Sleepers face to face.
Here's the undoing -
1. Endless ships from Jita will mean pvpers will continue to be combat-subsidized, Endless because ISK drain is not a deterrent. You were right the first time by requiring RL time (nothing else nerfs) to generate the hardware. Big alliances would have to scrounge, harvest, organize their markets of munitions and fleets. They might finally patrol or protect their mining fleets.
2. All the strategy of disrupting or siphoning other peoples industry is gone.
3. This JF change really hurts medium alliances that have a more diverse player base. They can support themselves off the land better than large mostly afk alliances. Big alliances (like mine) will resume business as usual setting up multiple regional barracks with supply lines to Jita.
Bitterness. I'd like to buy a CCP that doesn't shrink. Players were complaining and op-eding what to do. You went further than expected, blew open the game and showed everyone who wore the pants... then you took them off and handed them back to the players, and practically apologized for getting them upset. That's what is seems.
--- I'm in a very supercap heavy, NC/PL alliance, own JF (and Rorq, and several caps) - and was willing to take the hit for the betterment of the smaller alliances. |
