There's been so much groupthink asking for nerfs to jumping and power projection over the past 2-3 years and now that it finally happens you complain again? The way CCP has made it now is great, there's nothing to change really. Welcome to Jump Jail, where even thinking about jumping in any way gives you fatigue, as it should be. You guys should just chill out, learn to take gates again and enjoy the ride. We promise we'll be gentle. It's gonna be glorious.

Finally the EVE universe gets some scale back. Not sure whats to complain about. Back in 2006 we had warp to 10, and had to use bookmarks to get directly to gate. Jumpfreighters? Wuts that? etc
Even being able to use jumpbridges once in a while is a massive advantage. Yes you have to plan it a little better. Even scout a little!
I remember when Ricingstar built my Avatar in X6 back in the days. He solo hauled all the minerals with a bunch of freighters with jumpbridges from Esa-YMP-R3-X6 with impunity. While it made me a happy camper, it was faaaar to easy to get done.
Maybe this have something to do with the supercapital prolification in the game?
Should be easier in the future to gank us some freighters hauling in 0.0.
TLDR; Best patch in ages. |

Yes, it was a POWER PROJECTION nerf.
That includes both capitals and subcapitals. Take Providence. Can do a full fleet on a normal day? 2-3 full fleets on a OMG ALL HANDS ON DECK CTA CTA. This will steamroll most groups in the game when you count out capitals.
Will you let the "AFK empires" that base out of X system/Region be able to control several regions with impunity?
"Lolz, a small group is sieging our system 2 regions away, lets form up and run the bridges". 5 minutes later you nuke those poor suckers." Doesnt sound very fair now does it?
Yes, the bigger coalitions can still field capital support, but they will actually have to think about how and when they do it.
Pre-patch you pretty much had to flip the coin wether or not the skirmish group you engage would pop a cyno if you managed to pin them down. Now the odds are; they are not.
Likewise; In Providence pre-patch, If you get a few systems in; you are pretty much guarrenteed to have people coming from every corner converging on your position within minutes=slaughter.
Post patch: Sov owners actually have to make a coherent fleet and give the hostiles a fair chance with scout usage.
Scouts pre-patch for skrimish fleets where close to worthless due to the jumpbridges. It was more a russian roulette kinda deal. |

Aye, tho SOVless alliance. Semi amusing that they complain when they dont even own or pay for jumpbridges. I guess its what happens when you get spoilt. |
