I can show up and jam the attacker, damp them, or shoot them. What I've found after several quick response fleets is the attackers are mostly Exodus small gangs ringing a doorbell. That type of gameplay does nothing for me, but I can appreciate their good fortune through game design.
Compare this to at least 50 duders required in the past, and entosis looks a lot like pure harassment.
Now. I think it's clear this thread was started out of frustration and there's no way to spin that. It does prove my point, however, that entosis is probably not the type of thing customers enjoy.
I think capture should look like a pool of 500 or 1000 entosis minutes, with a cap on simultaneous entosis modules based on ADM.
The logic behind it is to swap capitals needed in the past with subcapitals, each with an entosis link. This breaks up the capital requirement of HP grinds, and also solves the small gang harassment.
I am posting this as one of Asher's children who enjoyed 50-man Ishtar HP grinds in Querious and other parts of Sov space. Small gang fights are fun but not the only gameplay eve should offer the massive wars are what brings a lot of players to the game and a style of gameplay that should not suffer just to give small gang fights more of a chance. However, the mechanics are what they are and if a better system or a new system was introduced it wouldnGÇÖt take long for people to complain again anyway That thought was in the back of my mind, that no matter the system players will find it uncomfortable. I think Sov should be determined by the portion of moons that are towered in a system.
I think they did that system before domminon sov. I wasn;t around back then but it could be intresting

Maybe, just maybe, and I'm reaching here, you guys just have too many systems. With less systems and a smaller member base, I'm pretty sure you'd have an easier and more fun time defending.
The reason you are all whinging is because your systems are so widespread and in your eyes it's a "hassle to go all that way to find an T1 frig trolling". If that was only a couple jumps I'm pretty sure you wouldn't care as much. |

The issue I have with post like that is that it means I am not allowed to think as an individual. My though are supposedly always associated with my corp and alliance tag even if I have some position that would more than likely be against what the leaders think. I don't know if other corp/alliance have a line of post to follow or other stuff like that but I surely don't follow one and really hope you don't have to follow one either.
TBH, I'n not unhappy toward any player currently playing the game how it is right now. This stupidity is the name of the game now so anyone not playing it like that would be shooting himself in the foot for no reason. Using weaponized boredom is effective so of course people will use it. The real question to me is, why the hell they they make a system where such terrible strategy cans till be used.
When the CFC back in the previous SOV demonstrated that boredom could be a weapon, I though it was both a creative way of using the rules AND dropping a turd on the game in plain view. Doing it right now in the new way of doing it is just the same thing. It's using the rules how they are written while also shitting on the system. Both are just as bad imo. |

Entosising is deffernt then an artifical reduction of a groups ablity to work togther. entosising something dosn't mean sma cant work with the imperium anymore. If everyone can plau in sov then entosising is the best system we have right now. If not everyone can play with sov brinig back needing suppercaps. either way i'm fine with it. I'm currious though how many people do you think it should take to attack sov at a minimum? |

I always though you should need a few cruiser or something like that personally since not being able to mount up a fleet like that essentially mean there is no way you could keep a system anyway so there is no point in letting you take one.

I'm currious though how many people do you think it should take to attack sov at a minimum? Depends on the sov. If someone is legitimately never in their space and has no intention of defending it, I don't even have a problem with one guy doing it, it should just take some level of commitment to it. Defenders have to respond because if they fail they lose their sov, so attackers should also have to put something on the line they risk losing if they lose or abandon the attack. It wouldn't have to be a sunk cost, but they should have something that means running away has consequences.
Like I said in an earlier post though, I think the way it's done is terrible. They should just scrap the additional mechanics and just base the owner of a system on all of the activity from the alliance in it, all mining, ratting, player kills, industry jobs, etc. That way to take someones space you have to actually live in it and people who have no interest in sov can't just ping and run away as they achieve nothing. True occupancy sov.

That system would be intresting actually and let other styles of gameplay hotdops and afk cloaking do a lot to fight a group while giving some counterplay options for the defenders. What would cause the fights though without timers I know form experiance i have to hit something to get a fight no one seems to just want to fight so got to force it. |

A few cruisers could be a good requiremnt. Still low sp enofgh that everyone can play and cost a bit more then frigates |

Well as a defender you would have to still use your system, so you'd have to at least put yourself at risk. Attackers would need to actually be somewhat active in the system to take it too. Both sides would need to be active in the same space to progress, so hopefully fights would be generated pretty organically.

it's human nature you cant remove boredoom without making artifical figths. if you have something i want i can chose to fight you or not. if you have something to harras i can or chose to not. when deffending you have to deffend or chose to recapture it latter. it's just the nature of the sandbox moons are an example of this somethimes people fight over them sometimes they reinforce it anfd blueball. |

The current mechanics didn't invent this. All of the old mechanics had the same thing. Pre-Dominion sov had towers. You put down as many as you could if you were the defenders and dickstar them. At that time it would literally take a day or longer just to RF enough of the towers to contest one system. The defenders could set up all the dickstars and start evacing stuff or setting up ambushes. This current sov mechanic is much much much better than that.
Now you are complaining because the defenders have to send out small gangs to hunt attackers that are entosising as much stuff as they can. Here is a hint.....if you cannot send out enough dudes to kill the entosis peeps or set up effective choke points, then you don't deserve your space.

Being vulnerable 23.5/7 is not as bad as it looks when you realize even with all stars aligning for you, it will still involve many hours to take a system. You can easily let the other side PLEX to 75% and then send a fleet and fight over the rest. If we leave that much time in SOV, it's over, the structure got hacked and the system fell. |

Last time I checked, we were still winning most of the timers so we would still be able to send enough dude. That does not mean the system is a good one. I still think reinforcing 40 structure at the same time or SBUing 20 system was playing the rules in a stupid way but I can't do anything about the past. It's stupid and was stupid because in both case, an actual takeover of all of this was and is only possible if the other side fail-cascade so you no longer need your fleet together. The rest is just fluff to **** off the other side and force them into clean-up OPS because is slowly but surely drain his will to play this game. In all of those case, you were not beating your enemy by fighting him but by fighting his resolve to play a game in an un-fun way.
The new SOV system was slated to be a move against that. Since it has now been demonstrated that it didn't work, I think iteration should be discussed/worked on. Unless people are gonna say it's ok now. I mean, if people are OK with weaponized boredom, then the game should stay like that but I think it's a stupid way of setting up a game. |

Yes you are winning most timers....but your allies are dying internally in the process. The whole weaponized boredom isn't a 'oh it's okay now' sorta thing....it is a 'you reap what you sow' sort of thing.

WRONG.
It was never good gameplay or fun. Other people might have though it was but not I. It was an efficient one and still is but that's still isn't good. If you think I was ok with weaponized boredom before, then you are not comprehending what I am trying to say correctly. It might be my english but I really never though it was good gameplay. Not playing should never have been and never should be an effective strategy to the game. |

I know the organisation is effectively reaping what they sow. I do not condemn anyone for doing it. It's efficient gameplay to achieve an objective and EVE has always been about using whatever mean to achieve what you want. What I will condem is who made the system how it is since it once AGAIN enable a form of play that is again beating the opposition out of boredom.
I honestly wish nobody ever even had the though that they should bore their opponent to death in game. It's like someone invented cancer and now we can't get rid of it. Cancer was **** back then and is still **** right now. Please god rid us of cancer and kill it every single time anyone find a new way to re-create it, be it my friends or my enemy. |

Time for the Clusterfuck Coalition to disband.... I mean the Imperatives... or whatever they call themselves these days...
If its too much to handle.... get out of SOV holding just to support someone else's ego and not your play style.
There are plenty of Rental Systems you can obtain, where you can rat in peace and SOV is someone else's problem for less than the taxes your paying now. |

SUCK IT UP
Says the guys who reinforce a CSAA tower claiming it was to "generate content" and then dont show up to actually finish the job. That was highly enjoyable, sitting on a jumpbridge for 2 hours waiting for you to not show up. Great content 10/10 would fleet again

Yo, I have a solution for you.
It's really simple, actually.
You don't like the sov system? Don't live in sov. There is NPC null, low-sec FW, non-fw lowsec, highsec, wormholes, thera, a lot of different places for you to go.
Now if you WANT to play in sov null, then stop complaining like a little ***** about sov null. It's this way or the highway. Just because your alliance sucks and everyone else is getting paid to beat on you, that doesn't mean the devs should go easy on you. Maybe your alliance leaders shouldn't have been such fuccbois to other people and **** on their website/steal from them.
Now, the real easy way for you, as a line member, is drop that bad alliance and go join somewhere you find fun. If you don't want to, it's fine, go defend 20 sov timers against exodus/horde while your teeth gets kicked in and you keep bleeding members.
Remember, it's your own fault you're getting targeted, not the devs. So deal with it. |

I agree with you on all points....but sadly I don't remember you or many other Goons (if any) making these statements when the system was in their favor. That is why most of these arguments are moot and also why there is a lot of hostility towards CFC members here in this thread.
Sure you make good arguments but because you are on the receiving end this time, they seem hypocritical. |

I was not there during siege fleet for example. I get your feeling tho. I really wish more people would recognize it was just as stupid back then. This game has problem that might never get solved correctly because the "winning" side of the issue usually is to smug to admit they are winning because it's broken. The current fun/hours battle is probably WAY in horde and co's favor and they will probably milk it for all they can because it's how people EVE. You never know when you will be on the receiving end of it. People instead should just be mad about any systems that are like that because it does not make for a great game anyway. The memorable event of EVE didn't happen on night were blueballing was going on. Nothing really great happened in EVE while one side was docked while the other side did a clean-up operation while thinking why they even logged to this boring game of rep the tower, rep the station, burn the SBU and other stuff like that. |

Its a problem of battlefield. Some battlefields pronote different tactics, that are favored by one side, not the other. If every side fights with the same tactics, it comes down to attrition warfare. The side with more resources win then. People tend to follow the tactic that works, but also try to avoid the attrition, because it leads to depletion of every resource, time, man, everything. So it just blueball everyone or thunderdome if you have the same battlewfield the same time all the time. Maybe If we could shape the battlefield to our tactics, or choose the battlefield we like most, then more people would consider it leveled out for them, because they would have their favorite strong points occupied as they like.
