at least this is whay i heard is that they will be removing bookmarks and adding a warp to 0km feature. at first thought this sounded awesome, but then i got to thinking about it and i realized how much this is gonna blow. there are either 2 ways this can go
1. you will always be able to warp right up to the gate and the pvpers will never have the benefit of the doubt that you will be warping 15km away without a bm so u can scramble him and then kill him, so there will be no point in even trying becasue EVERYONE will get past you, so pvping will really die, and if what ive been told is correct, ccp really wants u to pvp and move out to 0.0
2. probably the more realistic thing that will happen: there will be no gang at a gate with out a interdictor for warp bubbles so you wont ever be able to travel at least moderatly safley in 0.0 without the benefit of the doubt that they wont have a bubule up and u can squeeze past them
the only thing i think that can keep things how they are insta wise, but to get rid of bms would be to have to "unlock" an insta persay, so what i mean by this is you will always warp to 15km, unless you get aligned and then in people and places hit an unlock button or something like that so you can use a preset insta from a gate to gate so everyone will be running of the same insta in a sence, so the servers wont lag and crash trying to kjeep up with everyones o slightly so different instas, all it will have to know is: "do u have this insta unlocked, yes!" so now u can warp, the benefit if the doubt will exist for both pvpers and travelers, clear up the lag a bit, not really make everyone mad. and you will still benearly the same as it is now, just more efficient and ude still have to spend the time making the instas becasue to unlock the insta ude have to be fairly close to the preset position
what do u guys think?
This is so short sighted its beyond beliefe.
1) WRONG!!! People still have the chance to gank players after they jump and people can still hunt players in belts and complexes (scanning will now work you know). Its only frigates that insta warp from the gate so indy's and BS's you can still try and take down. Its just that we wont be hanging around as long acting as a perfect target for people that cant be bothered to actually hunt for their reward and just like to sit and wait for a 2 day old player to come along and get shot at with no chance of returning even the slightes damage to the ganker, all the time knowing full well that if someone gets even slightly close they can warp to safety and have absolutly no risk at all. I class them as cowardly carebare pirates (no risk or challenge just pure reward, and probably not much as how much stuff can a noob actually have), its not an honest pirate at all.
2) 0.0 wont change. 99.995% of people that venture into 0.0 now use instas so nothing will change and the use of bubbles will stay the same.
Warp to 0 will make things alot easier for travel and will dump billions of bookmarks from the database that currently clog up the servers. Each bookmark has to be copied to the node a player is on when they jump. Keeping any form of mass bookmarks does not improve the game at all and just turns it back into the current mess we have on TQ.

Shame some people have yet to connect them.
