y’all with the big ships could share the burden of lighting cynos with other folks
let others in on this part of gameplay
too many changes may seem overwhelming
i’m unsure of huge ship mechanics
sharing the risk
a little will make for fun more stuff to do for operations pilots
adaptation is part of the eve experience
i embrace the change look forward to working with it
will fleet nav ships be next?
more ways to move into the top tier
clever pilots will cooperate on this one
find ways to get you moved around
interesting move could help to have a way to share bm’s in a fleet like a scuba diveboard
a way to communicate a route in fleet
help coordinate jumps etc
I’m confused. First you claim that Big Groups need to be thinned, then you propose changes like this. Besides making content harder to create and breaking a part of EVE that has been around for the vast majority of the game, this funnels people even more in to major null groups. If your goal is to balance something like the Goon’s Safe Cyno fleet, then remove their ability to be fit on industrials or something. Maybe just make cyno’s a single use module like hull energizers, and turn them into an isk sink, but restricting them to specific hulls is just content limitation. If your goal is honestly just to cause chaos, do it another way that doesn’t make creating content even harder. Nobody can deny that some of the best fights in this game occur over someone baiting a Cyno, and throwing it on a ship that is instantly removed by 10 muninns is just goofy. On a side note, I’ve literally never heard someone complain about them. Theres a lot of places you guys can take your frustration out, but you should leave core mechanics of the game alone. People that are worth more than 10-15B still want a reason to log in to the game too.
Not gonna burst your bubble buddy, but all capital pilots have or should have multiple support toons. If you are just running your one hulk in a high sec belt you have nothing to worry about. But if you are running a rorq or 3 and some hulks or a carrier and ratting, you’re playing russian roulette to begin with. You have to be self-sufficient or you are just a burden on your corp/alliance. Relying on other people to pull your sorry butt out of the fire when you get dropped on by a wh gang is just pathetic. If you dont have an alt scanning wormholes, alts in surrounding systems as eyes etc then you’re doing null sec wrong. Sure it requires a lot more work now, I’ll give you that much. But jesus man, have some accountability for yourself.
Now nullsek is turning from a rich, dangerous region into a poor and dangerous region. And hisec get deeper.
It’s horrible!
But they don’t listen to us and ignore us!
“Once again we see the sandbox get smaller. Instead of adding more ways to disrupt cynos, we get this drek.” Someone said that and surely is right, look at the way you making even more difficult content/fights to happen. The same way requires cyno to defend, the same to attack, that slim 10secs window that your cyno will last won’t be enough to drop, specially with servers conditions like we all know…
Great job @CCP_Rise! Love the changes that have been coming out ever since you guys decided to black out null! Been having a blast as a small group! keep up the great work!
