Or better, use it as a recruiting effort, using rookies as scouts/defenders.

Have to admit that this has me quite concerned. At this stage I'm less interested in who is right and who is wrong and more interested in why people aren't logging back in.

The new sov system needs to work from a player count perspective. So far, it ain't.

Anyway I'm done with this thread. O.P proposal gets -1 from me.

Make entosis ships lose nulifier immunity and destroy the entosis module if the pilot has to flee out of distance without completing it's entosis cycle. Also cap the amount of capture nodes in space to 10 throughout the constellation at any one time and have a new one respawn every time one is captured.

That's an interesting idea that I think merits further consideration.

In the meantime, with entities like NOC and BOS getting involved in multi-billion ISK fights (the most recent being 280 pilots in Costolle destroying a total of nearly 200 billion ISK over a period of 70 minutes,) sometimes over a POS, sometimes simply from the result of two groups trying to out-escalate each other, I can't help but snicker at sov null pilots who whine about a single interceptor interrupting their ratting and mining. Sounds like they're better suited for highsec life. Null needs more of the kind of pilot that finds chasing an interceptor interesting.

I think I understand why BOS is saying that getting kicked from CFC was the best thing to happen to them...

Exactly. Big fights will still happen when both sides are willing to commit - that hasn't changed with the implementation of Aegis Sov.

What has changed, however, is the ease with which alliances could hold on to systems they don't use. Once the alliances get tired of defending such systems, we'll still get the big fights over valuable resources/system, and the big fights just for fun, and smaller entities will be able to carve out small niches for themselves.

Wouldn't suprise me at all to see CCP cave in to nullbears like yourself but it won't be good for the game.

lol what is this? Do you call that group "The Collective of Old ISK and Stable Renting Empires" ?

Fozziesov was supposed to hit people like you and this post is a mere confirmation of its working. Not that your arguments got no substance, but that list on its own is a hilarous collection

If I personally had to make a suggestion on the matter, I would suggest that CCP (after announcing well beforehand) delete any and all blueprints for them. No more new ones, the existing ones will be the last.

Wasn't that exactly what Fozziesov was hoping to achieve?

I wonder who else has massive cap ship superiority, logistics, and ability to project power across the universe - all the while having enough resources to defend their isolated home island in the upper left corner of Europe, err... 0.0?

This thread is proof that, even in its incomplete state, FozzieSov is a success and what was needed to shake the status quo.

Which is why you get to set your vulnerability timer to when you are active. If you are unable to defend your space during the period of time that your alliance is most active means that you do not deserve to live in that space.

a lot of the tears being generated here is a direct result of people holding space that they do not have the numbers to defend.

The obvious solution is for them to get with the program - cut down on all the empty space that they cannot defend and either fill it with Renters that will actively use the system or just relinquish the space - allow randoms to move in then tell said people pay us security money or we'll blap "your" space.

Again - if you cannot defend the space you have laid claim too - you do not deserve to keep it.

"If there are two people in a room and both of them agree, then one of them is useless" - Mark Twain.

Thankfully, there are lots of people in our crowd that have different perspectives.

I like Fozzie Sov
You guys in 0.0 shouldn't have that much space and power. Let smaller alliance's have some too
