CCP doesn't like the term "fozziesov" which implies that this update has been a one man show. CCP Fozzie is the lead designer for Team 5-0, which is the team responsible for the sovereignty overhaul. There are 7 developers on Team 5-0, including CCP Mimic, CCP Punkturis, CCP Masterplan and CCP Lebowski.

I understand what people are saying when they say it's too early to tell. I didn't like the idea of Fozzie sov so i've been extra careful to actually observe it in action taking that pre-existing dislike into account.

That being said, I've now had a few experiences with 'Fozzie Sov', been in a few save fleets, and a few 'lets reinforce stuff' fleets in Wicked Creek, Detorid and Scalding Pass.

So far it's not been almost any kind of fun, it's been a bunch of sitting around doing nothing while others SovBeam stuff, or rushing 3-4 jumps to save one of our Entosisers from something that we can't catch or kill, or fighting skirmishes against people in 'slippery pete' style tengus (ok, I admit, killing them with tornadoes that one time was kind of fun).

In dominion sov at least you got to shoot something, or get some structure killmails. As useless and boring as that was, it was more fun that orbiting a gate while some dude sovlasers some crap because the people that reinforced the thing you are defending doesn't really want the space.

The problem with Fozzie sov is that it's like small gang focused, as if it' was trying to import the low sec way of life to null. If I wanted skirmishes and small gang stuff i would have stay in low, what I liked about null was fleet action. I haven't seen a Capital ship in a long time now.

Overall I'm still haivng fun in EVE and in null, there is PVE and Defense fleets and i join the occasional hot drop/wormhole drop fleet, but that fun used to be punctuated by the occasional FLEET FIGHT, now that isn't happening, at least where I'm at.

It seems to me like most people just don't understand how Aegis-sov works.

Too many years of Dominion-sov where only the last timer counted, has left most people with that mindset, and dealing with the resulting node aftermath.

Aegis-sov is about preventing the first timer. Messing with nodes means you screwed-up.

That's just too complicated /sarcasm

Preventing the first timer means no content. You are asking the defense to stand post all the time. To maintain an unrealistic level of readiness and alertness for a game. Or to blob up to the point that no one really wants to attack you (see, e.g. the Imperium).

I'm not asking anything.

At ADM 6 your entire alliance can roam nearly an hour away, and still prevent a capture.

Assuming there is one person per structure left in the system (occupancy), say ratters or miners, they can even prevent capture.

As for Imperium defensive blobbing, that actually means they are fulfilling occupancy. It also means their defense can't roam far, even when that defense is a few super-caps that drop on anything. Of course that still leaves them with plenty of other ships because of their large membership.

Getting a fight from the Imperium is easy, just don't expect to win it without effort; they aim for "gud fights" for their members and not yours. There is no game mechanic that will change that to be in your favour.

I blow up a russian POS and i like it :D

We have that now, but the balance is off. The defense has plenty of reason to be vigilant. It has plenty of reasons to get out there and fight. The offense, however, is not forced to make any level of commitment.

It is a good system, as it limits the abilities of blobs.. it is better than the previous system.

You like it because you are paid to like it.
