HEY LETS MAKE SOV EASIER TO TAKE FROM LARGE ENTITIES BUT GIVE NO BENEFITS WHATSOEVER TO THE RESIDENTS.

Do you want everyone to do high sec incursions or something?


~content creation~

Sounds like good content creation - then they'll just flip it back 2 days later once you're bored of it - or are you actually then going to commit to fighting there, inhabiting the space and raising the indices yourself?

It'd be great to see Goons come through on this, own the whole map for 2 days if you think you can - I'd be a willing spectator to a player driven event like that.

So you're gonna provide me content by taking an interceptor roam across provi for four hours and somehow you're going to deny me content... just so I know that you know, what does my main actually do in the game that you're going to deny me of?

You can't dictate a battle when you're all in ships that do <100 dps. Sure you can cyno some caps in to one or two systems at a time, maybe even try moving them through gates to assist in multiple command point fights but when you're dedicating your numbers into essentially useless combat hulls you won't be able to hold a grid to complete your RFs or captures without bringing in reinforcements in far more killable ships.

Exactly so who's worse off, the alliance with hundreds of systems and timers to worry about (and manage their fleet distribution and defence over) or the one with just two or three?

Goons know this is gonna bend them over backwards logistically - just one bad day and they then need to deal with potentially hundreds or even thousands of timers to grind down in their own space.

On a single sov sure, but you cant be everywhere.

Numbers are numbers, if you want to take a specific sov with your armada, i hope you still be able to do it

Why are they going to bother with small alliances when they could be doing it to their main competitors instead? If they don't need the space and it's not a strategic objective?

Sure they'll probably go on a great big rampage across the whole of nullsec at the start and try to flip everything just to throw their weight around and show that the mechanic is broken but ultimately it achieves nothing for them if they're so easily flipped back again once their attention is elsewhere.

Now if their big neighbours who aren't so 4chan memeworthy griefers actually start using it as a strategic way to harrass and subdue the hive then that's where they'll start pouring their own efforts in return.

So yes, you'll occasionally get sand thrown in your face by the playground bully but a week later it'll all be back to normal.

Exactly, why not, just for lols...then you realise that it's not very much lols orbitting something with a laser for 40 minutes and running away as soon as a defensive fleet shows up and stop doing it. Thanks for confirming.
