lulz
See everytime something someting changes in the game and null residents raise issues about it, "others" (mainly high sec types) rush in and proclaim how the 'tears are delicious'. What they NEVER seem to understand is that null residents are adapters, no matter what CCP throws at them, they fine a way to keep on truckin. What really happens though, is that in some way, the people who were celebrating 'tears' end up being the only people who end up suffering from whatever change is being discussed.
It's happening here (well, in general discussion anyways), people are proclaiming how this will be great for the game and the goons/N3/bi guys are gonna suffer and the coalations will collapse and the 'little guy' will have a chance. What they don't (and never) see coming is that the big groups will survive and find a way to profit, the little guys will still be sad and the high sec people celebrating will not be subject to BORED GOONS who don't have to be in null because their alliances prime time is in another Time Zones....which means even more ganking and tomfoolery
Tears aren't the things that are delicious. The thing that is delicious is IRONY. |

Remember - they can't reinforce it, if you have it linked up too. You don't HAVE to kill the attacker. Just deny him sole control of the field.
That said, kill him anway, if you can, because you can.
Null is kind of supposed to be the end game, where dose people who have played this game for so long have to go to get away from the frigate game. SP should acually count for something, CCPs idea that newbro should be able to take sov is backwards. If you want to fly small gang pvp go do FW not null sec. Don't you dare hate on the newbros in frigates. They're awesome. |

sov bonuses spawn anoms, grav sites, hacking mini-games, wormholes (lol), and DED complexes
none of these things can be restricted to one alliance or can even really be restricted to the alliance's prime time
the only thing on the list that can be is cyno beacons, which, surprise surprise, already work like this
also entosis link ships can be farmed out to alts Correct, CURRENT sov bonuses don't work like that. We have no idea what the new ones will be like though. They're rejigging the whole of nullsec remember, this is just phase 2.
Some possibilities that could pertain only to controlling sov members:
- Increased mining efficiency during prime time - Higher bounties during primetime - could even have the opposite of incursion penalties; better resists and damage projection. - Active gate/station guns that only defend members of the sov holding group - Improved research/manufacturing efficiency for jobs started within primetime - Hacking efficiency improved during primetime
And also in general: - Jump bridges only active during primetime - Cyno jammers only active during primetime
Keep yourself to a small 4 hour window if that's all you require but for a large multinational alliance, you're probably gonna want to extend your primetime willingly if changes like this were implemented.
edit: ooooooooh also. No local outside of primetime (lulz) |

Yeah, but would we really be the same without those 50 pages?
EDIT: And I'm hoping that even with it's "low fitting requirement", it's still enough to effectively gimp a frigate fit to doing nothing but hacking the structure.

Probably because they couldn't decide where they want to put it and just put it out there for the feedback to fret about it to see where public opinion goes. Personally, I'd make it a command link. Then again, I had a entirely different system for sovereignty in mind, so what does my opinion matter.

If I am shooting at a pos and I get blapped, if I do not return the pos will regenerate it's own shields over time. I would expect nothing less from the successor mechanic. Only the timeframe is really changing. So up to a few hours depending how long my link was active to represent how long I was shooting at a POS? The real way to prevent most of the trolling isn't to make the timer reset but to make the trolling harder to do. The 250km range on the T2 module is absurd. Why didn't they just make the T2 version's range just double from T2 or hell quadruple if you really must? No instead they introduced a module with 10 time the effective range. No wonder people are theorycrafting an epic amount of trolling with SOV when you can do it from the very limit of any targetting systems and also potentially be fitted to the most mobile kind of ships and people wonder why we might end up playing space tag... Would be fun if they introduced this to FW though , hangin at 250km of the beacon
Those of us in FW would know how to eeasily counter this. =ƒÿÅ |

While I really don't care for any of these changes people will learn to adapt and get used to the play style. If these changes do go forward here are my thoughts:
*Prime Time - Worst idea I've heard of. What makes this game unique is that it's going 23/7 and you need to be prepared for anything at anytime. A suggestion would be to allow the structures to be initially attacked at any time but then allow defenders to adjust reinforced timers +/- a couple of hours. This would need to be done in a vulnerable state (i.e. hauler bringing strontium to change the timer should be vulnerable and not able to hide behind any shields; mechanic could work for POSes as well as sov structures) forcing attackers to actually keep better watch of their targets during reinforce. Another great piece of this game is having alliance mates worldwide. Creating an alliance Prime Time will push people to joining alliances in their Prime Time.
*250km range of the tech 2 module - WAAAAYYYY too far out. As many people have stated this is going to turn into interceptor warfare or cloaky-nulli tactical cruisers. This will just turn into attackers way out of range and a defender coming in to the sov structure to defend, therefore no true PVP interaction and we are falling asleep in the grind. Bring this in to something that will provide a decent orbit yet still promote the potential for PVP, say 50km-75km max. |

Question from left field (I tried searching the thread but came up empty).
If a station goes into freeport mode under this new system, what will happen to repair services? One quirk I recall from my times in null is that station owners can set in-station repair costs, and often those are set to zero for people with docking permission. Will that be reset to standard rates, or locked in at the pre-freeport level?

It seems that the majority of the problems related to the entosis link I'm reading here could be alleviated by making three changes to it.
A) structures being captured will have an 'uncapture' timer associated while an enemy entosis link is not active on it. In other words if an enemy captures a structure to say 50% but then is forced to leave. the structure will slowly undo what the attackers have done until it is back to full strength. (say 30min as just an example) this could then be sped up by the defender using an entosis link but it at least gives reason for the attacker to need to return if they do not want to lose the ground they gained and simply swapping around structures in a system would not have nearly the benefit it does in the current proposed idea.
B) make the entosis link unavailable to interceptors. frigates are still fine because warp bubbles will completely disrupt an attackers ability to literally troll an defender into submission. It is the warp bubble immunity and speed associated with them that is the main problem with the entosis link.
c) reduce the range of the t2 down to 100km. This would still give more than enough orbit range to keep ship (defense fleet) speed up while allowing defenders to actually be able to shoot them. 250km is just ridiculous as that pushes the total bubble of influence to 500 km in diameter! I'm all for bringing back a reason to have fast ships but that's a little absurd. |

Some people forget that we were all newbros in frigates once. Some newbro right now is the next DBRB or baltec1 - never forget that.
Also our entire corp is sort of built around nullsec PvP on the presupposiion that if you're in nullsec, you're prepared for PvP. If you're not, you'll probably wind up on our kill board at some point.

what going to happen when we need to get the military level up in a system and the true sec suck and you have to rat is **** system.
will be a way to change the true sec of a system if we use it. If not what's the reason for ratting? and what are bored system no one will ever rat because of the high traffic. You know no one going to mining in a system next to possible enemy. is there any way that we can add pvp kill into the system. I talking about the reinforce time. |

It is the warp bubble immunity and speed associated with them that is the main problem with the entosis link. Strongly disagree (in case you can't tell lol). This would enable gate camps and border control to keep empty systems protected behind an active defensive perimeter.

Gimpfit inties with absolutely nothing else can just about be made to lock out this far - there's already a mechanical limitation on each hull by it's base stats and fitting choices.

250km is just the nominal range of the weapon system, you still need a target lock. If you fit a ceptor for maximum lock range it will have the resilience of an air balloon and the lock range will still be closer to 150km than 250km btw. |

For the start, restrict the Entosis Link from being fit on frigates, destroyers, T3 cruisers, covert ops cloaking ships and capital ships. This allows everyone to monitor the progress and allow CCP to tweak it if it is not having the effect they want. Place restrictions on module combinations as well. For example no cloak and Entosis Link fit at the same time.
Let's see where the meta falls after that and then make adjustments as needed. |

Just a thought to reduce the small-gang and individual griefing aspect this form of sov mechanic will induce:
Attacks on TCU's are able to be countered by anchoring them near a POS. Enough guns will ward off the single or small gang. It should also be worth considering allowing Ihubs to be anchored near a POS as well.
I'm not really worried about this proposed sov mechanic with regard to organized groups who have a real intent to lay siege and take sov. But this mechanic, as proposed, will likely result in a massive uptick in annoyance as defenders respond to phantoms just running around and ringing doorbells. Maybe some fights or ganks or whatever you want to call PVP will result, but without a doubt it will also lead to abuses of the mechanic simply to cause the annoyance of forcing a defender to respond to false alarms. We already experience that with POS's. There is no need to expand it to sovereignty-related structures.
What may sound good on paper as a means of conducting legitimate sovwar will result in far more instances of players who just want to be dicks. Therefore, allow POS's to be used as a means to counter these kinds of fake attacks. |

And honestly, we don't much care who we're not nice to. The IHUB is what will be attacked and that is the weak spot in this change, I would advise CCP to make it so that the affects only get removed when it is destroyed. For things that rely on an IHUB I would have the Jump bridge require a IHUB in system for it to be anchored and onlined thats all. In terms of Super or Titan production the IHUB enables you to start a job, but if its removed once you started no issue. Then trolling becomes less of an issue, its the tweaks that really matter here. I do of course recognise all the other entities that like having fun, you are not the only ones, but if you come to troll and only find a TCU next to a death star who is trolling who?
Am I seeing this right? Is this an actual complaint about nullsec PVP? People playing the game?

Is this what nullsec has become? I would expect such a complaint about highsec - yet the large nullsec blocks now make a sport of coming to highsec to gank freighters and mission boats, if not rake in the ISK with incursions.
Look at how entrenched, and fat on their dotage (like Smaug) over piles of moon goo and ISK from anoms they have become.

No to pos sov defense, too many guns for zero person showing up for defense. Give entosis same effects as cyno - it locks you down and puts a beacon on you. If system is occupied, someone will get a free kill, working as intended. If system is empty, you just soloed a sov system, working as intended. |

Here is some thoughts on addressing income.
1) make moongoo mineable by the players, and not a pos. reclassify the rorqual to a active moon mining ship. So the rorqual can moo mine and boost a fleet and miners can mine. Subsequently, price could drop on these.
basicaly make active hunting out of moon miners. Also gives people the option to do moon mining in total.
A few items to add regarding this
The rorqual cannot be in a pos and moon mine.
The rorqual cannot mine on a moon that has a pos present (so pos dumping is a strategy to stop miners). Yes you can grief with it, but you'd have to bring a hauler just to dump one.
Allow players to hack dead sticks to unanchor them (avoids dead sticking).
The rorqual industrial core should provide bonuses to moon mining and resistances to survive a assault on the rorqual (think of it as mega tank mode). The industrial mode should also protect the rorqual from ewar (same as siege or triage). This gives a lowsec rorqual some protection from being tackled by a subcap, and in some respects makes people require a hictor. The other option is to give the rorqual a flat out ewar immunity that supers have. I would also add dscan immunity to the rorqual also for less "I just found you by dscan move".
What this does is put industrial and miners on the same level of the entire pvp player base. You need them to mine, they need you for protection.
This does a few things. Pos fuel for mining pos is no more. Players have to actively mine. Defense fleets matter. Your location matters even more because you must have people to actively mine moons and pay attention to do it.
This does murder corporation and alliance funds for large and enormous groups. This also gives individual players a way to supplement their income by doing a mining process.
Obviously speed up how much a rorqual mines moons.
I would supplement what the rorqual does with what the orca could do. Basically allow the orca to compress minerals and ore and ice without the need for the mining pos item. Obviously you can still have it and use it if you want. Also I would allow moongoo to be stored in a orca's ore bay for transport.
siphons for moongoo is basically broken and could be removed if this change was considered.
The only reason I bring this is up is because people keep talking about anomaly ratting as the only income. I think the ultimate income should also just be put directly into the players hands. As this is a Sov revamp, the fight for the most valuable part of it also needs a revamp.
Yaay!!!!

Attacks on TCU's are able to be countered by anchoring them near a POS. Enough guns will ward off the single or small gang. It should also be worth considering allowing Ihubs to be anchored near a POS as well.
I'm not really worried about this proposed sov mechanic with regard to organized groups who have a real intent to lay siege and take sov. But this mechanic, as proposed, will likely result in a massive uptick in annoyance as defenders respond to phantoms just running around and ringing doorbells. Maybe some fights or ganks or whatever you want to call PVP will result, but without a doubt it will also lead to abuses of the mechanic simply to cause the annoyance of forcing a defender to respond to false alarms. We already experience that with POS's. There is no need to expand it to sovereignty-related structures.
What may sound good on paper as a means of conducting legitimate sovwar will result in far more instances of players who just want to be dicks. Therefore, allow POS's to be used as a means to counter these kinds of fake attacks. Kinda works, kinda doesn't... now you're forcing them to bring something that can deal with a POS either in terms of tanking it for upto 40 minutes (without RR) or first killing the POS and then capping the point...which is back to n+1 capital warfare again.
Well if the goal is to allow any single pilot to ring the doorbell or even reinforce a structure in 40 minutes, then I guess there is no way around the fact that it will get abused on a grand scale. Sovereignty warfare is not, nor should it be, the domain of any individual pilot to accomplish. If you can't get past a POS then you probably shouldn't be trying to get into the sovwar game. That's just my opinion of course, and I will await to see the abuse that results from thinking that it should be. Because if any single pilot has the capability of doing so, then thousands will organize just to show just how broken that mechanic truly is. |

So you prefer to give up expensive ships? Which system are you in?
A crap ton equals 1000 crap loads in metric, and roughly 91 shit loads 12 bull shits and 1 puppy's unforeseen disaster in imperial.

1) make moongoo mineable by the players, and not a pos.
I love that idea. There is the 'bottom up alliance income' CCP keeps talking about we need. And I agree.
As far as the income structure/mechanic in null, I'll just copy and paste Mr Megathron himself from another thread:

Combat anoms don't work.
You cannot support a small corp in a system let alone an alliance of our size on the current anoms. If CCP want us to shrink our empires then they have to get rid of the need to hold vast areas of space. Moving to a mission style setup would allow us to fit several hundred to a system as opposed to todays max of 10
Another issue is to do with the way we earn isk in null. The bulk of the income from anoms comes in the form of bounties which is a rather big problem. There is roughly twice as much isk entering the economy than leaving it which has lead to isk buying you less than it used to (Carriers for example have doubled in cost over the last decade). This means that mission income has risen over the years due to the fact that most of their reward comes in the form of LP. Anom income has been fixed in place due to bounties while mission rewards have effectively risen which has resulted in missions overtaking anoms in reward.
We need a new way of earning isk in null, anoms simply don't work in the long run.

What do you mean give up expensive ships? What you just posted makes no sense (and as far as ratting ships go, my anti-afk phoon is dirt cheap, less than an afktar).
Oh and besides, if ( between an MJD, target breaker, warp core stabs, a heavy neut and ECM drones) you can't escape a cloaker that decloaks for a hot drop, you deserve to die. |
