I think the other problems with 00 people have mentioned seem more like the area that needs address.<br /><br />That being said, a cyno jamming script for HICs would be cool. I can be used in low sec and in 00 as just another tool. It doesn't prevent hot drops but it complicates them if the target part chooses to take care and bring one. I think it would be a cool addition to the game. Also, they should make cyno disruption probes that can be launched by the regular interdictors, too. Same duration as the warp disruption probes and all, but can be launched in low sec. Would make both the ship classes at least somewhat useful outside 00 and add a new dynamic to the sandbox.uriknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101917425752696234.post-73175168855250834472012-08-08T08:09:25.868-07:002012-08-08T08:09:25.868-07:00Not strictly true, while I have been in alliances ...Not strictly true, while I have been in alliances both big and small, only the truly massive/super wealthy alliances can move capital flotilla's across eve at will, for smaller alliances or large corps it is still a massive undertaking to move a Capital fleet from one side of EVE to another, and certainly takes a considerable amount of cost, preparation and planning.<br /><br />To re-enforce what was mentioned earlier, the problem lies with 0.0 needing fixing and the often quoted "Old money component" of EVE... <br /><br />We need to be careful that in trying to throttle/control rampant dominance of super powers on smaller entities like Faction warfare and fledgling alliances we don't end up crippling said entities while only providing a minor inconvenience for the bigger blocs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101917425752696234.post-7819528129876084712012-08-07T15:54:23.815-07:002012-08-07T15:54:23.815-07:00I don't see any good reason why FW people and ...I don't see any good reason why FW people and their wars shouldn't affect other players in the universe of Eve, whether they be out in 0.0 or in Highsec. We already have this in other parts of the game. OTEC price fixing Technetium to boost their profits being the most obvious and current example. Granted CCP is supposedly taking steps to correct this but it sounds like if anything it could raise the price.georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10472104193527977594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101917425752696234.post-48726849789459190392012-08-07T14:25:23.401-07:002012-08-07T14:25:23.401-07:00Increasing fuel cost doesn't matter.

They could care less about isk.<br /><br />I kind of like the idea of adding an additional control on capital ship jumping. CCP defines an area in terms of light years where they think somebody should be able to project power. This is centered on some solar system. The pilot can then only jump within the radius of that area in addition to the normal jump range checks that exist today. Then you can recenter the area every N hours that takes effect in M minutes. This means that you can move to an area and kick some ass, but you are then leaving something behind undefended. it also means you can only show up to a part of the galaxy immediately if you planned to do some M minutes before hand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101917425752696234.post-39665915773896793382012-08-07T14:13:32.049-07:002012-08-07T14:13:32.049-07:00That's....interesting.

They hot dropped almost anything in site, camped with titans on gates, and effectively shut down any capital engagements between the Amarr and the Minmatar. Some people argue that if cynojamming were possible they could protect themselves in these instances."<br /><br />Um, that's one side of it. The other is that Pandemic Legion who traditionally live in that section of low-sec space and have "owned" it since before FW ever started were just running around their own "neighborhood" as always. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101917425752696234.post-55775774760463242842012-08-07T06:27:33.869-07:002012-08-07T06:27:33.869-07:00The root of the problem is that space is to small,...The root of the problem is that space is to small, anyone can move a mass capital fleet across the universe in a couple of jumps.

It would also help small gang roaming in 0.0 to prevent hot dropping. At least not in the middle of your fleet.<br /><br />I still think force projection is something that happens too fast and would need some scaling. Should be a difference whether you have a small gang of frigs or about 200 BS to bring somewhere.<br /><br />As someone outside of FW, cyno jamming some key systems of FW would not really effect me but if lowsec gets cyno jammed in large scale it is a problem.Chaninanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101917425752696234.post-20007498123885136332012-08-06T18:47:05.129-07:002012-08-06T18:47:05.129-07:00Cyno jammers are just a knee jerk fix to a bigger ...Cyno jammers are just a knee jerk fix to a bigger problem. The root of the problem is 0.0 is broken and it's pilots are bored silly 99% of the time. Combine that with the awesome logistics chains of larger 0.0 alliances and they can project their full power anywhere in the game in mere minutes. So, if they have nothing else to do, no real cost to fly 100 capitals around the universe at will, and no downside, why not hotdroped any capital fight they learn about? Fix that problem and there is no need for a cyno jammer. Cyno jammers are a band aid fix for a much more serious problem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
