You can get around most of those defense with number, You can only fit so many damps on an inty or ECM mods on an ECM ship after all. Oh look, the solution is again the same as to many problems...

If they bring numbers the FYF will take over.

Listening to the Q&A has been extremely frustrating... Every time a good compromise is suggested "ya, but that won't meet our goals with bombing runs" is the response... This should indicate to you Larrikin that bombing runs need to be addressed by specifically working with the bomber. Why they are getting lumped into this goal of making pilots more active is beyond me. The two goals clearly require two separate solutions, and it feels extremely lazy that compromises like squad warp being retained, or a delayed fleet warp "spool up" mechanic aren't being considered, solely because you're trying so hard to kill 2 or even 3 birds with 1 stone.

Off topic, what would happen if 2 FYF faced off? Fastest locker win?

It would be a battle between two rocks to see which one the wind erodes away first.

Fleet Warp Q&A with CCP Larrikin and Spectre Fleet:

https://soundcloud.com/jayne-fillon/spectre-fleet-qa-with-ccp-larrikin

Someone wrote a tl;dr on reddit at https://m.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/3a71h3/fleet_warp_qa_with_ccp_larrikin_and_spectre_fleet/ (below)

First question is why change in the first place:

* Give more people roles in fleets. When questioned about alts he didn't really have an answer.
* Give sniper fleets more of an advantage. (Like they really need it since practically everyone runs them)

What about small fleets who can't spare the member to act as a warp beacon?

* Well that kind of sucks for them.

How will this change make it better? Regarding perch bookmarks.

* "That would be tough to find."
* Share the bookmarks.

This would give corp fleets and advantage over NPSI and other mixed fleets.

* Would like to do alliance bookmarks but "technical difficulties".
* Use an alt.
* Doesn't think it gives an advantage.

Changes to bookmarks?

* "Yes"
* "We realize this will impact wormhole groups."

Slippery Petes OP?

* Will flail nerf bat if it gets bad.

Why not let squad commanders warp?

* This breaks the what we want to do with the bomber meta.

This change will cause fleet members to land at different times due to warp speeds, is this intended?

* Fleet warp to a scout if you want to prevent this.

Why include mission locations?

* Consistency
* Slowing mission runners down is not a bad thing.

Planned solutions for wormhole people?

* Looking into it.

Reductio ad Celestisums.

I don't even know what to think of this now...

The goons have realized that it is easier to "ruin your gameplay" by controlling the CSM rather than trying to herd their cats (members) in-game for the same goal?

How does the fleet warp change impact/synergize/undermine the whole entosis capture thing? I keep feeling there's a subtle connection somehow. :/

Interceptor armed with sensor damp does the job easily enough.

heh, good luck with that

Haven't you already been accused multiple times of being one of our secret CSM plants, Mike?

he wants to remove Orbit, Approach and Keep at Range next

Oh for goodness sake, he wants to remove Orbit, Approach and Keep at Range next. This would utterly kill so much frigate and destroyer game play by making it impossible to get under the guns of a slower tracking weapon system.

I manually pilot cruisers and above. But for small ships the server tick speed means you cannot orbit manually at close range because you are already out of orbit by the time the next tick comes around. And you have to manage cap, reps, tackle and webs, weapons, overheating, target switching for drones etc etc.
