Yes, and they are nice numbers for overall statistics about the universe. Thank you! But the narrative you are trying to craft is “this is a nerf”. That is dubious. And I want to be sure to say that it is worth acknowledging that to your small alliance it could certainly actually be a change that does not “just give the same rewards out of the box” for the space you occupy!
I think the leap from to “this is a nerf” is absolutely unsupported by your numbers. Your numbers are an interesting geographical statistic about the universe now – but are not numbers in support of that conclusion.
That’s what I’m trying to tell you. If you want the numbers to support your “this is a nerf” conclusion, I’m telling you to be patient. Not all data can be available at Day 0, Hour 0 of the expansion to support a belief. It’s great you put together the numbers, and thank you for sharing them. But I will push back against “this is a nerf” narrative.
That sucks. I am very sympathetic to that.
However, the reality is that CCP Games has only ever been catering to the larger and larger alliances and coalitions. Their CEO has always valued news articles talking about “the largest video game battle” (and it has to be Eve Online) and has spent the last decade designing game systems that rewards the larger groups with more people (and more alts) and upgrading server hardware and designing TiDi to facilitate that. This is why Uprising incentivized group play over solo play and then Havoc brought in nullsec blobs into FW space (see: Frat).
The patch is making groups of any size make meaningful tradeoffs and completely reassess their income base. Your group might make one kind of decision, a different small group might do another. I think that is why we have to wait to see what changes happen in overall, and it’s almost certainly not going to fit cleanly into a “nerf” or “buff” category.
Hence, why I think the general outcry about it being a “nerf” to just be knee-jerk baseless panicking.
(For another example of baseless knee-jerk panicking, see The Havoc content, in it’s current form will physically and mentally hurt players if continued where one of the big “this is unfair Dammalin is going to burn us all out”, but not the OP, voices in that thread just the other day was bored saying “golly gosh, Dammalin hasn’t been hit by Angel Cartel in forever” in one of the cross-faction Discord servers)
