It's pretty telling of the system in general. But CCP never did learn to take into account where feedback is coming from.
For me, the really funny part is how literally all of this was foreseen in the first three pages of the entosis announcement, but was ignored in the flood of "grr nullsec" drooling. That's genuinely hilarious.

That's genuinely hilarious. To be fair, we in the community shoulder part of the burden here -- most of the outcry against interceptors was based on the assumption that they'd be able to fit T2 entosis links. Once that became too punitive to work well, we were content to rest on our laurels.
In the future, it's probably important to keep the pressure on in this regard.
Honestly, I'd like to hear some rationalization for interdiction nullification existing at all in TYOOL 2015 from CCP. However, as it would constitute taking a position on something, I doubt this will happen.

If you only base your opinion on the system on who is or is not against it, then you don't really have an opinion at all. You're just a lemming with huge blinders on, like most anyone who defines themselves solely in opposition to something.
Also, I would like to reiterate the old idea of banning NPC corp posters from every forum but New Citizens. Just throwing it out there.

I'm not talking about risk, I'm talking about one particular demographic that is most commonly used for trolling. NPC corp alts.
Anyway, regarding the sov system. Does anyone else think that a full rebalance of the Dreadnaught class is in order at this point? With the incoming rollout of citadel structures to replace POSes, all of which will also require the jesus laser to contest, the Dreadnaught has just had it's one and only role in the game very literally removed.

There is a difference between using a strategy in a sandbox game and a mechanic which doesn't suit it's intended purpose. Many in the Imperium like the underlying concepts of Fozziesov, however can't get round the whole why is the trollceptor still a thing. It's not like the Imperium couldn't abuse the **** out of it as well. Just imagine if Mittens decrees that every Imperium member must be bought a trollceptor and we should go forth and sovlaser every node in every system just to prove the point that trollceptors is a terrible idea.
I guess you'll still think they are a good idea because you simply can't agree with the in-game bad guys. I guess money moons were a good idea as well and that Ishtars were balanced a year ago too? |

Not sure what needs to be done here but we have used dreads just last week to kill triage carriers on a node. It was a great fight and they were needed but i would like to see something done about carrier damage now that the need to be on field to get fighters on grid.. the DPS from a carrier to a super is just silly.... 2 battleships can do carrier dps and project it better in most cases... I think most dreads are fine atm but carriers are really bad as far as being combat fit (not just for reps) but then again i think battleships need a damage buff as well.... I dont think CCP will do this for fear Nullbears will make to much isk and use more plex to sub their accounts.... Tinfoil hat activate. But realy most cruisers can do Battleship dps that seems wrong in almost every way considering your trading a ton of maneuverability.

So in the spirit of limiting things, why not limit the amount of people a defender can bring to a SoV system fight.
50 would be a good starting point.
If you think speed for a single pilot is a problem then corp, alliance, and coalition power certainly is.

Same reason they were so happy at the announcement of siphons, they thought it it was a chance for the marginal/disenfranchised/impotent types to FINALLY strike at the "big bads" that they otherwise couldn't touch.
As it was then, it will be again , silence when the people who thought they were getting something find out that the changes only make the big bad blob people even stronger than they were before.

So after thinking about it a bit, why do nodes spawn constellation wide? How does this make sense? I think a better solution would be to have nodes spawn in the system attacked and the directly adjacent systems. This would keep the action close to the contested system but still spread it out enough to allow for the multiple front fight this system was supposed to deliver. There also needs to be EHP events still in game, I hope that they go back and look at the Citadels and change how the capture evens on these happen.
I am still very much not happy with the way this new system works because it has turned null sec into mining and ratting online just to make your space somewhat safe then after you do that all day you don't even want to experience the rest of eve. Slow the decay of mining and ratting. I am leaning to the side of buffer systems are a bad thing and alliances that can live in these systems shouldn't try to hold on to these. Maybe it is from the old way of thinking but there still need to be more carrots in Sov Null for the players and Alliance to want to hold onto the space you have.
I did have a thought about system generating a daily isk payout that would be paid to the Alliance/Corp owning that system at DT to give a reason to hold space. I know everyone and their brother are against passive free isk but there needs to be something unique to Sov Null that no other area of space has and right now we just do not have it. I think that is the biggest problem right now is besides super cap production which is cool but is not all that meaningful in the new system null has nothing to call its own, WH have T3 material, LS has FW LP Hi Sec and NPC Null has Mission agents, what does null have right now that is special for us. Maybe what could be done is a material that can only be sourced in null for the production of new deployables a gas or new material that needs to be harvested by players at first or a deployable structure made with (PI and this new material) placed there to mine the material like a giant vacuum cleaner. Have this site spawn in different systems as it is depleted but always 1 to 2 per constellation but only despawn if it is completely mined. This is then both a carrot for the members/alliance but also a clear content generation point as if you want to go the unmanned route in your fringe areas you might lose your structure and your potential income. |

Actually, I have an opinion about the siphons. They would have been a cool harassment tool in theory; however, CCP decided to allow API data track whenever a siphon was set up on a POS. One of the dumbest decisions ever, since it allowed groups to idly track for siphons without keeping an eye on the POS. Totally killed the siphon as a proper harassment tool.
As for who is crying and who is cheering, it isn't that cut and dry.... though Imperium is generally against it and smaller groups are more along the wait and see camp. |

Wrong, have you heard about grid mechanics? Have you even noticed that in the amount of time for the hostile to enter system and land on the sov structure grid, the trollceptor is either very close to breaking grid and disappearing or has already disappeared from the grid?

The problem is that this system is tantamount to CCP going "you know what, screw it" after 12 years of advertising huge space battles. Now we have a system to bends null sec into a crappier copy of faction warfare low sec.
They literally took a system that could be equal parts boredom (structure grinding) and Epicness and made it ALL boring (and then counted that as a win). I thought the change (ie massive over-reaction) from POS based sov to dominion was bad, but this one is worse, at least Dominion preserved the spirit of 0.0 space fighting.
This new system is EASIER to defend, my wallets have never been so fat from null sec isk, but Aegis SOV has sucked the 'awesome' out of the game. For some reason, some people think the opposition is about not liking change, or not wanting to adapt, or losing. But we HAVE all adapted , and no one of consequence has lost anything..
Dominion was only occasionally fun (while being heart breaking, I was in NCDot when Goons kicked us out of Tribute, didn't want that region anyways), Aegis is no fun at all..
In the grand scheme of life it's not a big deal however, and hell, we survived 6 years of the badness that was Dominion, we can survive another 6 years till CCP realizes that this one sucks too...undoubtedly after more inevitable personnel changes lol. But the ability to survive a bad situation doesn't make that situation any less bad.
There was nothing awesome about sitting in 10% TIDI, clicking your mods over and over again, wondering if they are going to to actually function.
There was nothing awesome about being sitting on a Titan for hours then told that fleet is cancelled yet again because the rallying cry of a certain alliance leader was "no fun allowed"
Protect me from knowing what I don't need to know. Protect me from even knowing that there are things to know that I don't know. Protect me from knowing that I decided not to know about the things that I decided not to know about. Amen.

It'll take about 90s +/- to break grid at 4k/s. It's catchable.
But the mass penalty NEEDS to come back. Legitimately instant aligning intys will actually be even worse. |

Really it depends on the grid. One of the first days of Aegis Sov I went about chasing trollceptors with my nano cynabal... usually the grid is more than big enough to not have that issue. Problems arouse if the ship was going 10k+ though. 4k should really help curb the lack of kills. HOWEVER, 4k orths on the edge of grid will still be an issue..... at least they are catchable now. |

They would have been a cool harassment tool in theory; however, CCP decided to allow API data track whenever a siphon was set up on a POS. One of the dumbest decisions ever, since it allowed groups to idly track for siphons without keeping an eye on the POS. Totally killed the siphon as a proper harassment tool.
That was changed because, unlike now, CCP realized that any mechanic that forces people to babysit structures is something that should not exist.
Babysitting structures is poison. It is neither using, nor living in your space, its a time tax to park a character at a particular spot while doing nothing. EVE needs players, not just people logged in.

One of ours, ten of theirs.
Best Meltdown Ever.

Good to see things moving forward. I think fozzie sov can be fun, just needs some more work. They'll still be unable to warp, and attackers can feast on their 4k/ms souls. Any reasonably fit ceptor/T3dessi should catch them. Wrong, have you heard about grid mechanics? Have you even noticed that in the amount of time for the hostile to enter system and land on the sov structure grid, the trollceptor is either very close to breaking grid and disappearing or has already disappeared from the grid? Yeah. It'll take about 90s +/- to break grid at 4k/s. It's catchable. But the mass penalty NEEDS to come back. Legitimately instant aligning intys will actually be even worse.
And it will, on average, take a hostile to land on that sov structure grid at least 30 seconds. With that lead, escape is almost certain unless the trollceptor wasn't watching local and failed stop orbiting and align away in a certain direction. |
