Okay posting in the whine thread when I promised myself I wouldn't.
My two main issues are:
1. Capturing and defending sovereignty looks and feels similar to the FW model. It's wrong on so many levels. After experiencing the rate at which systems can be flipped and spending the best part of a year chasing stabbed frigates out of FW plexes in Sahtogas, I can testify that it is the most God awful, soul crushing gameplay you can imagine. There is a reason FW is best experienced when you don't actually live in the war zone and a reason why so many established corps have left.
2. The four hour window. I get the reasons for it but it kind of leaves the Aussies up the billabong without a didgeridoo. |

2. The four hour window. I get the reasons for it but it kind of leaves the Aussies up the billabong without a didgeridoo. 1. The frigates can't just warp away in the sov situation, they have to finish their cycle first. Also, there's no cap on the size of the ships brought, so I'm not forced into frigates in many situations. 2. I can't argue with this because analogy is too amusing.
My issue isn't actually with whether a frigate, cruiser, small gang or whatever captures a system it's actually that CCP are trying to introduce a concept of 'perma war'. That your sov can be quickly attacked during a certain period every single day. Now perma war is great for the aggressor but it's terrible for the defender. After a while it becomes a grind and burn out and boredom set in. In theory it sounds fun but in reality it's awful. The defender actually needs some stability to develop and maintain growth in an area.
To me it appears that CCP has only developed one side of the equation. On the one hand it will be easier to take sovereignty. But what then? How does a small alliance/corp keep it unless they log on every single day and play capture the flag every single damn day. |

Wow, just, wow. I assume you are joking. You don't implement a flawed, exploitable system on the basis of 'well we can always patch it up later' ffs. |
