ISBoxer wasn't banned as a whole but the keyboard and click broadcasting feature was. If I remember correctly, ISBoxer automatically disables that feature when eve is used with it. I could be wrong on that front though.

Why have you not iterated at all or taken any kind of feedback on Phoebe in the year that has passed?

Allow me to quote the devblog:



hahahahaahahahah



Yeah, right.

You said you were going to iterate and consider feedback, yet you have clearly not done any such thing. Why?

How does one nerf the power of blobs without it being extremely arbitrary?

Are there any major technical hurdles to implementing the "tether" system? Distance from starting point so that you can move around the same region much better but harder to go far?

Nonsense. Bridging can be done from within your space into enemy space. Jump Bridges require the same power to hold both ends. This is not power projection, it's domestic travel.

Edit to add: What made jump bridges seem like such tools for power projection was the sheer sprawling size of empires - NA's rental space dominated the east side of the map the way the combined allianes of the CFC dominated the west side. So yes, people could use what amounted to the equivalent of continent-spanning highway systems to put the pedal down and cross vast distances. But those jump bridge networks relied on sprawling empires that can't exist anymore. You can't hold the space if you don't have the population density, and if there's an entity with enough people to maintain that population density across 50% of the conquerable systems in EVE...

... game over, man. Game over. 5 meters. That's inside the room.

Nor is any fleet doing that likely to be a 100% (or even 50%) goon fleet. So what you're really complaining about isn't jump bridges, it's politics.
