Jesus dude do you even play EvE, all I see from you is “reeeeee my game is ruined because I can’t deal with cloaky campers with no local”.  
Grow a pair, man up and adapt or my favourite option for you LEAVE. Stop pretending your going to leave and do it. Remove yourself from the game and forums your a right spud.

But they don’t need to. Any sensible bomber fit will do the job just fine in 1-2 alphas. You can’t really lower your sig enough to not make the damage they apply to drop below lethal.

And the inevitable death is the whole point. I do not pay subscription to be someone’s FREE content. Give me a fighting chance or ■■■■ off my wallet is my entire point, and with current meta, my only fighting chance when krabbing is to never leave tether range.

I’m surprised you force null sec people live in a wormhole kind of space. If they wanted it on their own they would already live in a wormhole, right? This is gonna just be wormhole 2.0 where cynos work and ships can jump between systems. So even more dodgy and deserted as wormholes are now. Probably people wont like this, they move low or high sec or to **another games.**

I suspect you are doing this as you are **incapable** to solve problems with the new chat system and hope that less usage of chat will remove that problem. It just might come true as there will be less clients connected to chat system! I think you are shooting your leg here…

I agree with you there, Fozzie doesn’t have a good eye for follow on effects.

Hence the cap/sub balance issues, subs can’t survive on grid with caps and supers anymore, this wasn’t always the case.

No, risk vs income no longer applies to nullsec, because for krabbers risk is infinite and reward is none, while for ganktards, risk is none and reward is infinite. Local should have been disabled only for ganktards to make it fair, leaving it on for locals.

if you want to kill CAPS you should field your OWN caps to start with  
Titans and Supers (specially titans) are underpowered  
Caps are easy to kill these days

DO i have to remind you times when SINGLE TITAN on grid was able to wipe whole fleets single handed?

Just imagine bot at gate, and bot probe signature… they will have perfect intel again and only player will be imapct by change.

In fact with this change CCP reinforce bot, they will be the alone entity who could farm outside super umbrella safe soon.

Back when DDs did an AOE, and doctrines were built around being able to tank the DD? And then people started fielding two DDs, and people started gimping their fits further to avoid dying to that?

That was a terrible time in EVE. Dropping a Titan was an ‘I win’ button.

Is that the EVE you want to return to? If so, the game will be a better place with you unsubbed.

Of course. Risk vs reward was already heavily in the ganker’s favor, especially after NSA nerf.  
But that’ll never happen because fair game was never an interest of CCP.

I have lived in NS and WH’s and will admit, IMO having no local in Null will be considerably harder than in WH’s, due to traffic, ease of access, population, it is known space, and probably the single biggest issue I can see is Cyno’s, you will more than likely get a lot more people sneaking in to your system.

But I don’t have an issue with the idea, I welcome the challenge, dscan and scouts in the right spot are key to counter 😉

Probably should look at doing this to ALL of eve though, not just NS. I feel you are being racist toward NS players 😛
