Guys its page 3, how am I the first to point out that a nerf to JF's will simply send more blockade runners and DSTs thru wormhole chains from null to high?

Civilians usually take great efforts to protect themselves, and well they should. We're not supposed to be hitting them, anyway. A transport ship is, by definition, a non-combatant.

There is no such thing as a civilian in EVE Online. "We're not supposed to be hitting them"? WTF can if sentiment is that?

I don't think that's a game breaker... J-Space isn't exactly the safest place. If a lot more blockade runners and DST's go through wormhole chains, there will be a lot more wormhole corporations hunting them. You will still have achieved additional content.

It takes time and effort to locate these wormholes and map out entrances and exits. Between the time it takes to scan a route down and getting a transport operation active, any part of the chain of wormholes could get rolled, leaving the fleet hanging in a number of precarious positions.

A limited number of ships can pass through a wormhole before it collapses, so considering every null sec corporation can have JF pilots that make daily runs and only a handful of transports can go through a given wormhole before it collapses, there would be a reduction of the total number of transports going in and out of null, forcing corporations to be more strategic about what they import, export, and produce locally.

Can get over 150 jumps out of something like a prowler before you massed the average wormhole :D about half that for a DST.

DSTs would get caught a reasonable amount of time but a properly fit/piloted BR can evade all but the most experienced, double bubbled, wormhole camps.

A full cargo fit Prowler even with ORE expander and T2 rigs because why not need over 9 trips to haul what a single full bulkhead Rhea. I don't know about your logistics dudes but I'm pretty sure mine would never want to deal with that amount of trips.

Anatolians eat meat, right? They sure look like sheep. They clean the sheep, they wander around with them. They have even been observed to play with them.

But, at the end of the day, that ain't no sheep. Play how you want.

Do you actually listen to yourself when you talk? Answer my question please. I think you think you're being witty, but I have bad news for you...

Thoughts?

Making the trade lanes between empire and null isn't gonna solve that tho.

Wouldn't hurt.

Thanks to citadels getting a JF around is pretty safe now.

What are the actual repercussion of JF not making it to staging points in null? Is it less total destruction than the JF getting exploded?

I make too many assumptions that everyone follows every thread. Sorry. I read almost all of them, and I guess I expected people kept up. They don't, because they have focused interests, and not general interests. My mistake. Can you forgive me?

Talking to you is as useful as trying to herd cats

Then I guess the answer is no. Yet, I still don't hate you.

On a separate note... Why are you trying to herd cats? If they love you, they come when you call them. Mine always do. Herding them?

Please.

Yes, it does. Welcome to 2LOT.

Sorry, the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Entropy. Chaos Theory.

Or, as we call it in Theology, Free Will.

It's that much trouble to you, really?

|What are you even going on about, what does chaos theory have to do with transports?

What also makes it so bad is no one wants to help you do something but instead tells you to get more alts so you can be on a gate or station instead of groups getting together to run protection and to pull in reserouces

Id like to see a hub in every region connected by a highway gate system that leapfrogs a bit.
Like a secondary gate system that goes by constellation and has a predetermined travel time. I can enter a constellation and go system by system if i want to do something specific or jump to the next constellation.

I actually like this idea, definitely a good use for CCP's idea of having 'Player Built Jumpgates'.

But wont this just make transit even easier, faster and safer?

How about if there was a % cargo tax on each hub? So if you want to haul from Jita to the backend of nowhere you still can, but its going to be considerably more expensive than using a more localized market.

I imagine not since every pirate in hisec will be camping those gates instead of just Jita and a couple of 0.5's. Could go either way to be honest depending on the finer mechanics of said gates and the rules regarding engagement there.
