This article https://imperium.news/why-the-nullsec-blackout-wont-fix-eve/ on INN highlights some probable problems causing null stagnation. In this vein, I was hoping to start discourse on the subject with a broader audience. Here was my initial suggestion, curious as to the thoughts of the community:
How about we add another ship that specifically targets and weakens supercapitals while being vulnerable to specific (smaller) subcaps?
‘‘Stealth Bombers obviously, Sus’’ you say. Bombers in their current iteration are insufficient for destroying supercaps in a setting of umbrellas and FAX support. You need at least 50 (likely a lot more) to kill a supercap before it cynos in a FAX fleet and this is not probable for small null groups. One such idea would be to make bombers stronger against supers, and supers specifically. Maybe a specific bomb type that does damage against supers alone.
This may perhaps reduce the amount of supers available (death to supers!) and thus solving a key problem of null sov: you need supers to keep sov, and need sov to make supers.
The systems are in place, just too weak at the moment.
Understandable concern. I don’t think you can reduce the enormity of Brexit into a simple statement such as that. But I’d rather we avoid RL politics. Did you read the article?
Hilmar and Falcon are flailing like hurt animals right now. I would not be surprised if they did it. There is no other constructive option. CCP has completely disregarded the design goals and limitations for supers and titans when they were first introduced in favor of pushing everyone and their dead dog into them because they are so awesome and generate so amazing press, and by allowing them to be built in unprecedented numbers per month. There is no constructive way to deal with them except for removing them completely and reintroducing them again at a later date.
If you’re unwilling to read the basis for the article, you can’t really contribute here. Just like the people who do not vote, then complain about election outcomes. Perhaps your approach to differing opinions is to ignore them in favor of your own.
Oh but making sure people know toilet paper rags are not to be trusted is relevant.
If you want to spread propaganda, you have to put up with the fact that the opinion of others that its hogwash designed to direct their emotions to a goal that suits the publisher.
A quick solution:
every time a capital/super/titan tries to undock from a citadel they have a 0.01%/0.03%/0.05% of chance of getting tangled on something and explode. Add a 0.01%/0.03%/0.05% chance that citadel explodes as well on when a cap/super/titan goes poof inside it.
A reasonable idea, but I think it might confound the problem and reduce ship diversity

Counter-point. lower the material requirements for capitals and even greater for supers so more players have access… also, lower skill time required.
At least he waited until the 3rd paragraph before the utterly blatant propaganda started (and I stopped reading) - although it is INN, the Fox (or RT) of Eve cough ‘news’…
