After playing on Sisi for a couple of hours yesterday It seemed a lot like CCP was attempting to bring back skirmish warfare.
Before carriers, MS, And Titans it was very feasible for a small group of PvP'ers to impact alliance operations using hit and run tactics and by controlling key entrances to 0.0
My question is how will the addition of bombs, the new pos mods, and POS jump bridges affect how alliances do business as well as how does this affect smaller alliances.
From my viewpoint bombs are the best anti-blob tool ever introduced, kinda like a poor mans DD, and with the DD being able to only being detonated with the ship on the field it looks like this may give smaller alliances and PvP forces a way to fight back.
New pos mods from my take seem to be geared towards making it much harder to initially assault a POS, preventing your 2-4 man dread operations from effectively being able to take on a large tower, this also seems like it may deter much of the pos piracy I see. Being able to take out pos defenses requires a fair force to be effective but how will this affect system sieges when dreads mow down an entire system of pos's defenses leaving them unprotected.
Lastly POS Jump Bridges, seems like this may do an amazing amount for server performance removing so many jump que's, this also seems to be the poor man's titan giving small alliances ways to move ships and equipment deep into enemy territory, or for small alliances to completely bypass some of the more painful to defend entrances.
being in an alliance with a fair number of super capitals and seeing directly the benefit of them logistically and tactically, it now appears we may soon be facing an enemy with much better means to effectively counter us without having to spend the gazillion isk to build mother ships and titans.
