So someone with 100 titans can jump them in and initiate a sov change instantly/quickly, while the newbies have to do whatever it is you want them to do instead of using the entosis link to grind it out up to 40 minutes?

Large scale fleet are boring for people and hard for the servers. It have an important COST for CCP and it's unplayable for people: too many lags and each infrastucture improvement just increase the size of the large scale engagement and didn't resolv the lag and stability issue.

CCP just want less large scale engagment. And people just want less large scales engagment.

After thinking about the proposed system a little more.

(1) Perhaps instead of setting the vulnerability timer alliance wide allow setting it at constellation / system level.

Reason being that one possible scenario for utilizing this system is that alliance gets as many systems as he has corporations and every corporation is responsible of living in some system - that way if alliance has multiple timezones or different tz corporations it would allow corporation living in particular system or constellation to be "vulnerable" in their prime time.

(2) Possibility for an alliance to increase the population gap for a given system if you are pushing for more condensed corporations.

One possibility would be "inviting" a agent of some kind into a system (in space or in station) which would provide missions to the visitors. Excact mechanics of how to invent is not important, be it then some kind of deployable structure bought from a LP store or some kind of different mechanics altogether. Agent system is only pve system that scales linearly with the population.

If you read carefully you will notice that the modules introduced cannot actually destroy your caps or your home.

Sitting in high-sec ship spinning and posting seems like a reasonable response to this game change. Your voice will be heard.

A ceptor that cannot move for 5 min can be killed even by a HAULER!!

lemme tell u whats gonna happen...

there will be FW like fights in null sec.. no more big fights.. frig fights every where...

what they dont understand ppl coe top play this game coz they heard of big fights.. thats what make story .. not small fights.

small fights just look cool thats about it..

this game wil become WOW pretty soon.. thats where CCP leading us.

I feel that the need for a serious commitment to contest sovereignty is not present in this design. Apart from that, setting a prime-time removes the need for alliances to have members form multiple timezones and alliances won't be able to contest anything out of their own prime-time.

I think this is the sort of design project you'd want to be talking to people who live in nullsec every single step of the way. I don't know what process you guys at CCP use for designing, but this particular project calls for constant user input and review.

Not going to slog through 60+ pages to see if this has been asked but curious what effect cloaking will have on the Entosis link. Will you be able to cloak if active? If so, I assume it will deactivate the link. But then I'd ask when?

Plz if you didn't read like i did you can RFa station in less than one hour, with a 30mk/s 10mn/mwd svipull with a fuckign 50mil ship and force several hundreds to run after the ******* said ship, your smug attitude wont change the fact it will render null inert and a cluster **** of alts in inties and cloaky ships trying to jew the stations, this patch notes is the worst i've seen in years.

Yes! You will still have a defensive timer that anyone can show up too. 100 titans alone can't kill any sub cap. The game is not supposed to be fair, noobs are not supposed to be able to do the same as a long time veteran.

As I said, that's the wrong line of thinking, even if we ignore the fallacy that titans can't kill subcaps, and this won't fly. Try again.

That's what I love about your PFR guys. You actually have a pair, unlike Provi.

You have become a victim of Ev0lution.

I don't see why thinking someone with 50 mill SP can do more than someone with 5 mill SP is a fals way of thinking. It's all there in the numbers

you will loose a lot of people. again.

So what's the rest of the fleet supposed to do while the couple people are using their entosis mods on the strucutures? Sound even more boring than shooting things, at least that way the entire group was actually doing something. If I rival fleet doesn't show up, then things will get really boring really quick because anyone without an entosis mod isn't doing anything at all


Otherwise, I think the timer sounds good so you don't have to wake up at weird time. You won't be able to help your alliance though if they make a primte time other than your normal time so easily...
The command nodes osunds cool in hopes of getting more smaller fights. I could see needing to send reinforcements to other nodes and stuff. sounds fun and dynamic

I do think that splitting control of soverignty and station control is kind of stupid. So in theory it would be possible for some alliance to have soverignty, but not benefit from the ihub or station? I just don't see the point of soverignty other than having your name on the map...woohoo....

Because you're doing the "b-b-but my skillpoints!" fallacy line. SP doesn't mean squat if it's not properly focused.

Thanks for destroying my caps and then my home, RIP null, good morning tardceptors, ill sit in HS shipspinning till i unistall and just log on the forums to **** talk and say how good it was in the time before the game died, i just hope you kill hs players with no more concord as compensation I would only **** a bunch of those idiots all day in hs with gank ships with bros till they fuckign unsubscribe. Certain guys responding on this post without a fuckign clue on what they are talking about, the best scrubs are the caldari state ******* saying its all good, ******* brats, you fucks at ccp don't seem to use your brains, is it the new employees from RIOT???????

Don't speak to me about evolution you're in TEST

You mean the same lots of people that would leave when phoebe hit.. and in fact increased the amount of people playing?

Besides the name on the map why would anyone choose to move to nullsec? ( Incursions , level 5's already offer more isk per hour than nullsec. ).

My ground argument is Doomsday should be able to to speed up structor grind., not a Link that can be used by a 2 mill SP character.

Linking a ship that takes 30 min to build and cost 100 mill to take sov is even a worse idea.
