When CCP introduced Faction Warfare I joked with a few friends that give them enough rope and they would screw nullsec by making translating the plex spinning into real Sov.
:Drumrolls: Well looks like I was right. Rather than actually design a new system, they have just taken FW "Sov" and added a few bells and whistles to make it work in real Sov.
A good day to start training all frigate 5's. |

Personally, I do not see this as being a viable long term solution.
Yes the current Sov system has creaked and groaned for 6 years, but if all I need to do is plex 10 more than you ... how does this help a small 3-4oo man alliance vs the current superblobs?
Unused space is unused for a reason, it is bolloxs. The Anom nerf made most -0.5 space pointless to occupy [I will add a rider here, yes you can still mine]. If anything I am certain the superblobs would LOVE fresh meat to take these systems ... more Brave newbies to farm.
Ultimately this is a griefers system, small groups of disaffected or bitter-vet(tm) can mess around with sov in unused systems but when it comes down to it they will not have the stamina or numbers to plex their way to victory. |

Has anyone else noticed that the capture mechanics actually PROMOTE super alliances? Rather than have 2-3 alliances over a region it makes more sense to have a single alliance logistically. |

A simple "fix" would to be to make this new SovLazor fittable on a specialty hull ... lets say a Command Ship. Make it an investment in effort to attack Sov rather than the usual anti-sov wormhole bears. |

Okay, someone correct me if I am incorrect, but TCU/IHUB's will still require online times of 8 hours and will STILL require bashing until they come online. True/False? |

He addresses interceptors @ 11 minute mark
'If gameplay devolves into people orbiting at 250 km . . . then we would make sure that that doesn't happen"
Prime Time window will be the first 'breakout thread.
Look, go listen for yourself . . . or wait for the next thread. Greygal voiced a good idea of linking prime window to the indices of the alliance. One that is not active would see their window widen, making them more vulnerable.

Oh sure, lets make it even harder by taking the ONE interation the defender controls and allow the famous "codemonkeys" decide when it is. That is like allowing the Mafia to decide who gets prosecuted by the IRS.
Other than that, CCP is in FULL turtle mode, fingers in ears chanting "Greed is Good." |

because player made stargates are coming. Constellation sov will, I believe, be the major basis for anchoring a new stargate.
Hmm, standing based gate system.
The tears that would bring would be glorious. |

- Volume of ihubs and upgrades will be dramatically reduced, with most fitting into a DST (although strategic upgrades will be 200k)
- Structures can be launched from Fleet Hangars (yay DSTs)
- There will be blueprints for ihub upgrades, allowing them to be built in null-sec
- New null-sec only ores to produce a better balance of minerals
- The military index will decay faster, and the Industry index will decay much more slowly.
All these are changes are due in the April 28 patch.
Interesting.
Mining buff is way overdue, time to see those highsec mining bears screaming a little. I actually cannot find fault there Fozzie. |
