Nah, I am saying you are a krabturd with turd for brains. We have already established that you have no clue about PVP yet alone catching naturally stabbed capitals in nullsec.

We have cynojammed systems, because we don’t have supercap umbrella. This means no FAX on cyno, this means no dreadbomb as well.  
And of course no supercarriers either. Enough blocs around are -10 to us, thus only regular caps.

So far, the ‘rumored’ sov changes are just that: completely unfounded rumors. CCP’s said more than a few times that they’re not looking to re-redo sov right now, and have other parts of the game to focus on. Ideally, they’ll fix FW, which has literally gotten no love since it went in 11 years ago.

Until something’s actually _on_ the updates page, don’t even bother hoping, it’s not happening.

This is great for the predators. Bad for the hunted.

I look forward to logging in this weekend to hunt all those nullsec bears.

So what you’re saying is that you’re a small group who cynojams systems for safety and are now upset that people bring in covert cynos without your knowledge which is a counter to your safety in a Null security space in a PvP game? Sounds like you should move to Low Sec until you can grow larger. Or just get better.

Mittens wants to keep his multi-dollar media empire, or, jokes aside, the ISK stream, so he couldn’t have said anything else.  
Olmeca Gold literally has nothing but ego, and calls for more capitals, because all he cares about is “muh whaling” - or at least so he told me when I talked to him before CSM election farce (name me a player who couldn’t have predicted who would be “elected” - I only missed mine by snort’s fail).

Or when freighters full of ravens creep into a wormhole unseen and explode the first keepstar in wormhole space.

I also remember after, the chants of “no local” made at fanfest by leaders of certain null-Sec alliances - be careful what you wish for

Even if we uncynojam systems, and put faxes on, they will just get dreadbombed. There is no safety in nullsec even with local. What I’m saying is covert cynos will completely eradicate all subcap life, and the remaining caps would either be an easy bloc dreadbomb practice, or couldn’t get to cynojammed system - either way non-blocs are skrewed, no matter how good they are.

Because those certain nullsec alliances have supercap umbrellas for safety, they can afford to not care about local.

What about 27 null regions without umbrella coverage?

lol again, just move to low sec dude. Also the chances of getting Blopsed on isn’t as high as you think. Just play the game and don’t fly what you can’t afford to lose. If you need to make Isk how about you find new ways to do so instead of just carrier ratting. There’s plenty of different ventures in this game that you could branch out to. How about adapt.

This reminds me so much of my own analysis of the introduction of jump fatigue. In fact the whole thread does. Same division between “cry me a river” and “please no, you’re ruining my game!”. Just as it was back then the whole thing makes me just sad. Nothing of value is being introduced, small organisations are getting screwed, a parade of people in need of mental help is happening. The game needs fundamental changes and what it gets is just a new level of old things being messed up making the envelope of viable gameplay even smaller.
