Now, CCP, you need to create more incentive for people to actually hold sov. Nullsec is where EVE shines! It's everything which is great about EVE in its purest form! Make holding sov more lucrative! Create a huge migration from highsec to nullsec driven by greed! CCP, you NEED to accomplish this! This is your primary objective! If you manage to do that, EVE will thrive and even grow for many years to come! There will be a migration. The alliances are going to have to actively court the HiSec carebears. What's interesting is that I've been hearing that Rorqual pilot recruiting has been on the rise lately. CCP .. always first with the wrong stuff CSM .. CCP Shills with a vacation plan
Sokor Loro Sniggerdly Pandemic Legion 85	Posted - 2015.03.03 18:58:06 - [482] - Quote My only complaints: - 4 hr window is too short, and it can really **** over multi-tz alliances (which are most sov nullsec alliances) in terms of content for members. Although prime time is effectively already a de facto mechanic, this just makes it official. It either needs to be 6+ hours or looked at again. - Frigates with etosis links will be a problem, the range on t2 links will be a problem. Either make it so ships with links activated are immobile or 90% speed reduction like hictors, reduce the range from the absurd 250km, or just ban frigate hulls with them altogether. Or some combination of those three. It's good that a small group or even solo player can create timed content, but it is far too easy and risk-free to do it. Interceptor with sebos and overdrives will be nearly uncatchable.

I like the idea of the future exploding stations **** YEAH.

I still want to see a fit for this that actually works. Feel free to discount tank for it, too. Obviously, you just put a couple shield extenders on it. They'll go well with the istabs and sensor boosters. Plus whatever hacks you're using to make it all cap stable. Also discounting that the elink makes you unable to warp away for 10-40 minutes. Yes, the interceptor will be unstoppable by anything not counting pretty much everything.

T Rad Intergalactic Conquest and Development Brothers of Tangra 0	Posted - 2015.03.03 19:01:17 - [490] - Quote So, it's all about to kill everithing epic in EVE (cap fleets, shiny and mean T3 fleets, giant fleet fights, etc ) and convert it to 'Space rangers online'.... oh! sorry, 'Rusty Rifters in space Online'? Am I understanding that's right, CCP? ****ing around in bunch of ceptors, capturing systems (just to reset the hubs and ROFL) - is THAT you want 0sec to be? Does any of game designers , who came with this 'ideas' played EVE ( I mean actually playing game, not deleting the game after failing on tutorial missions)?

TigerXtrm Black Thorne Corporation Black Thorne Alliance 1035	Posted - 2015.03.03 19:02:14 - [491] - Quote I'm not a null-sec player at all, but I have to say this blog made me seriously want to try going into null-sec once this goes live. In other words, I love this. Having said that, there are some things that made me frown. 1. Only being able to attack in the defender's prime time. I can see the reasons for this, but this will effectively mean that alliances from different time zones will have a hard time getting into fights. Only during weekends when people have the ability to stay up late will they be able to fight in the defender's timezone. How is an EU prime time going to attack a AU prime time during a weekday for example. There's hardly enough EU people on during that time to make a serious dent. Either the prime time hours need to be expanded (6 to 8 hours) or it needs to go entirely. In fact, wasn't the entire concept of reinforcement designed to deal with time zone differences? This creates two mechanics that do the same thing. Either reinforce, or prime time. Not both. 2. Unless you care about having your alliance name plastered all over the map, TCU's now become the least targeted objective since capturing them does absolutely no benefit (unless you plan on putting up a new station). In fact, it would theoretically be possible to own and lock down an entirely constellation of systems, get their I-Hub indices to max, but still have the system claimed by your enemy. Though I suppose the 25% fuel bonus is a good incentive to attack something that is most likely not going to be defended anyway after the station and I-Hub have already been taken. 3. "Maximum range of 25km for Tech One, 250km for Tech Two." The f*ck? That's probably the widest difference for any module found in the game. And a 60m isk difference is not enough to cover that gap. At the very least the T2 version should be much more expensive with a range like that, maybe even make it restricted to battleships and capitals. Other than that I think these changes are absolutely amazing. We'll have to see how much the 'smaller guy' is able to get in on the action in practice, but it can only get better than what we have. If the plans get a little refined, I might have to seriously consider joining a null-sec alliance again. Awesome work! My YouTube Channel - EVE Tutorials & other game related things!

Aliventi Blue Republic RvB - BLUE Republic 830	Posted - 2015.03.03 19:04:46 - [492] - Quote The industry index should include more things than just just mining. Perhaps industrial jobs, invention jobs, etc? I dislike the 4 hour window. Structures should be able to be put into reinforced (RF) mode at any time, but come out of the RF mode at the time set by the alliance owning the structure. The SOV system should give NO notification that someone is using a Entosis Link on any of your structures or that a structure has entered RF mode. That means active defense not reactive defense. If you are truly living in your space and using your space you should have no trouble realizing someone is using a link on one of your structures or that one of your structures has entered RF mode. If you fail to do that then the RF timer countdown that is visible system wide (like POCOs are now) will let you know. If you fail to realize that then you probably deserve to lose your SOV anyway.
Tiberizzle Amok. Goonswarm Federation 61	Posted - 2015.03.03 19:04:57 - [493] - Quote fire fozzie lol
KC Kamikaze Blue-Fire 42	Posted - 2015.03.03 19:05:57 - [494] - Quote It sounds to me like all the folks complaining about the change simply don't want to fight. If someone puts a thingy on your station to reinforce it and you put your own thingy on it then the progress is paused. So now you have a battle. Kill their guy and they have to put another one on it. To me it doesn't seem like ceptors will cut it and i think you're overreacting. This change promotes smaller skirmish fights. Don't be such a whiney bunch of bears. Real attempts to take sov will still escalate to epic cap fleets and t3 fleets.
Horak Thor Mutiny Ahoy 235	Posted - 2015.03.03 19:06:18 - [495] - Quote I was pretty worried about what you could possibly do to fix null but reservedly excited. This is better than i could have imagined. Good job CCP role on JUUUUUUNE Also dat nerf to PL, not really known for its subcap prowess so being hired to take/defend sov is going to be a distant memory. .....
McBorsk Multispace Technologies Inc Yulai Federation 54	Posted - 2015.03.03 19:07:01 - [496] - Quote I zoned out like 20 times reading this and had forgotten 60% of it when I reached the end.
Vincent Athena V.I.C.E. 3176	Posted - 2015.03.03 19:07:16 - [497] - Quote Why hold Sov: 25% reduction in the cost of running your moon mining POSes, or any other POSes. If that's not enough of a reason, then don't set a TCU. Just hold your station and IHUB. Worries about this turning the game into whack-a-mole, chasing small groups or single ships all over the place: Consider consolidating your members into fewer systems. With fewer systems to defend, only a small fraction of the members will need to be on defense duty at any given time. The rest are free to go do whatever. Remember, you can stop a reinforcement attempt just by shooting the structure with your own Entosis link. You do not need to kill the attacker. Worries about time zones: Join an alliance in your time zone, and go attack those alliances that are also in your time zone. Actually, this seems to be a big issue. It could well result in Null fracturing into blocks, each operating in its own time zone. Sov will swap around inside each block, but rarely will there be a swap from one block to another. It's almost like sharding Null. The thing is, I have yet to hear a good alternative. Make it random? Then sov changes on the luck of the time slot draw. Make the first attack able to happen at any time? Then the game becomes even more of whack-a-mole, with defenders having to go capture 10 nodes for every out-of-time zone gang that shows up. Make it up to the attackers? Too much advantage. Renters: Just change from "Renting" to a protection racket. "Yes, you will be holding Sov in the systems we are renting to you. But either pay us the rent fee, or we will squish you". Know a Frozen fan? Check this out Frozen fanfiction

Kassasis Dakkstromri Wildly Inappropriate Goonswarm Federation 278	Posted - 2015.03.03 19:07:52 - [499] - Quote Also regarding Command Node(s) and capture: Re: Adding the need to scan down Command nodes: Which equals diversity in game play. If we're removing grinding then something has to be hard... right now it's attacker advantage the way populated Sov is currently used... i.e. BLOB warps in suddenly to system and griefs station by reinforcing everything services wise Defender is at disadvantage because it's suprise attack, and the time to organize a defense --- When it comes to actual Sov capture there isn't a decisive advantage for defender over attacker, which is fine, but once the command nodes start popping it's just a race to see who can come across the anomoly first It would be nicer if some sill was involved of actually having to scan the things down instead of attacker just pre posiition in "spotters" in every constellation system and then via comms deploy the fleet CCP you are bad at EVE...

na'Vi Ronuken Louis Nothing And Nobody 14	Posted - 2015.03.03 19:08:36 - [501] - Quote I think what you will end up seeing is coalitions consolidate to mega alliances based on TZ and corps would be tasked with living in their own consttillation. This dev blog also does not describe what happens when sov flips while a super is in build.

Next they will escalate with supers and it's time to put that titan on the field. Battles where large groups are determined to gain that sov will still escalate to large battles. now once you get through the timer you get the mini games with the nodes all over the constellation ... another neat mechanic .. the fleet splits up to cover all the systems and more good fights ensue. Thats how it plays out in my mind anyway. If i held sov and someone brought in a carrier i'd be undocking dreads and hics.... forcing them to escalate further.
Zloco Crendraven BALKAN EXPRESS Shadow Cartel 661	Posted - 2015.03.03 19:13:02 - [506] - Quote I find the changes really good. When is about defending no mechanics can't stop a larger force to dominate smaller groups. At least the propose changes make easier for smaller groups to harass bigger coalitions. So overall i find it quite well thought. But will need some additional changes to make it complete. - Entosis link is quite good except the 250 KM T2 range. Kiting, range doctrines will be the main doctrine for the bigger fights for the most part. Let brawlers play their part in the warfare also. - Operating independently is a great idea. I like the the TCU is mostly a bragging structure. - The prime time idea is half good, it should be more like POCO mechanics. You can attack whenever you want but you defend in the hours you like the most. IHUB should give better and more variannts of boosts except when it is reinforced. If this would be the case for the IHUB the PRIME time rule should be ok for it. - Command nodes will favor blobs much more than it is now. My 20 man fleet can be only at one place at time. If ppl come with 50 guys we lost it even tough we can take on 50 guys. My best advise would be to spawn them in only one random adjacent system of the reinforced target so a smaller group can block the way. To many targets will give - Freeport mode is just damn awesome. - Occupancy defense bonuses are a good idea. When said that more things need to change if we want a great nullsec experience. - Moon mining needs to be active and not passive. - AFK cloaking must be gone - Warp immune ceptors need to go - Trading between nullsec entities needs to be a thing. There needs to be a rearrangement of resources. Certain parts of space needs to be abundant of some (basic) materials and lack of other. Dependent of where you live you will fly doctrines made most of the ships you can build there. Make ti so you can build most of the ships but mass produce only those that have abundant ressources for manufacturing it. - Jump Fatigue must be harsher and it needs to take in account transport ships also. People moan about living in nullsec needs more incentive. Make ti very hard to import from jita and nullsec will be a dream for miners, ratters and explorers. Make nullsec powerblocs beg for carebers and industrialists and not to mass only PvP ers. The further you go from the highsec the richer the space should be. - Also mining, missions and exploring should be a bit less profitable in highsec and nerf into the ground the highsec incursions and buff up nullsec ones. - A big bonus would be to make mining and ratting mechanics a bit more challenging and interesting. TYVM for listening BALEX, bringing piracy on a whole new level.

It is simply a reminder that we should respect the other areas of space and those who live in them, and I hope when it comes back around, we can all learn that lesson, and not disrupt and distort valuable and meaningful discussion. And all are better for it. Good luck. There is one EvE. Many people. Many lifestyles. WE are EvE
Illindar Tyrannus KarmaFleet Goonswarm Federation 8	Posted - 2015.03.03 19:13:10 - [508] - Quote So the concept of Timezone is terrible as many people have said before not only does it make section of space perfectly safe for the majority of the day but then creates a situation where alliances in different timezone cannot meaningfully interact with each other without alarm clocking. Please don't do this! The other issues are if the new links can be on cepters I agree that this will cause problems when I can get max dudes and go reinforce eve on a slow weekend. but also if they can't go on cepters whats to stop alliances from creating unbreakable camps at choke points?
Total Newbie Deadly Shadow Clan Executive Outcomes 30	Posted - 2015.03.03 19:13:24 - [509] - Quote I finally figured out the reasoning behind this change. Pre- Jump Fatigue it was normal to see 50K + people logged in. Post- Jump Fatigue you're lucky to see 40K After this change I imagine it will be around 25K Hence, they have finally solved the lag problem.
Gypsien Agittain University of Caille Gallente Federation 29	Posted - 2015.03.03 19:13:58 - [510] - Quote Tons of time, **********, drugs and bathtime after my first thoughts on new changes I think that this enormous mountain of combined with the removal of space aids (aka fatigue if you're a pubblie/frigate ****) could result, really, in an epic amount of good battles.
