I wouldn't really be too troubled with additional balancing beyond the original specs. I'm all for releasing as is/was, and letting the cards fall where they may. What's the worst that could happen? A handful of trollceptors take the sov away from a coalition that prefers to 'deny content'? Not a big loss if you ask me. Hell, if it causes all the coalitions and alliances to crumble that's fine. Balance it then. Then whatever comes out of the ashes of New Eden will be much better than what we have now (referring to donuts here) |

You have no interests in sov or the mechanics of sov being balanced. and of course would like to see sov entities burn because of what you fail to do as an organisation; why the hell not push on the forums to achieve the objective through game mechanics right?
You missed the part where I lived for years in Eve's shittiest corner of Sov space (Cobalt Edge) as part of IRC. But don't let your failure to check character history stop you from making baseless accusations. |

Go up to any FC and ask him if he'll jump into a system where the defenders are from an alliance known to utilize sentries to their fullest extend, has the numbers to easily put 700 people into a system on a whim, and has supercapital support in-system.
CCP wanted to make Entosis sov encourage battles, but it's going to be similar to "jam yesterday, jam today, and damned if there wont be jam tomorrow". Oh sure, there's going to be some systems changing hands, but those will be either from smaller alliances as they consolidate and possibly move around, but larger coalitions like GSF can quickly mobilize defense fleets and use our extensive JB network and use titan bridges to run around and swat flies. I'm not saying this won't prevent new alliances from forming, but I am saying they're going to live under the constant thread of GSF or N3 or whoever rolling through one day and perma-camping the system till it breaks 24/7.
If CCP's plan works and the new mechanics force a spread of defensive fleet constellation-wide (and further because why would you just hit one constellation?), then I think that this certainly will encourage some really nice battles. It's going to turn entities like Goons into the content-delivering foes we want them to be....or they can eat their 'weaponized boredom' while stuff gets flipped. |

token trade alt wrote:I don't really do null, but the concern in general seems to be over small, fast ships ducking in and out. Why not just make it like the other siege-y things and give the ship using the module a velocity penalty of -100%. Sure, you can get into a system easily on an interceptor, but you're not speed tanking anything if you can't move. Or, you know, give a static sig penalty and speed reduction so small ships are possible to hit before they inevitably warp out and pen15 in local.
You need to get used to the idea that this system is designed for people who like 'content'. Either the attacker gets 'content', or they get your space. Or both. Maybe with Lazors. |
