What's interesting about that article to me is that the people financing the war are functionally invincible.

I know EVE is all about "You can be THE GUY" sort of stuff, but for all of the financiers talk of 'we only retaliate to in-game stuff in-game' it's a mighty high horse they get to sit upon because it's fundamentally impossible to retaliate against their actions in-game. They can log into Jita, pay whatever number of corporations they want to wage war against you, watch all of your stuff burn, and never even have to undock. They'll make their money back from gamblers in the meantime. You can't even spend the ISK/effort to get a suicide gank in on them. For goons who scam people, at least those people can resort to trying to kill you in game via bounties or mercenary contracts.

This is why I think any and all eve gambling sites should be banned by ccp.

There's also the part where IWI wanted the SMA leader guy to film himself IRL eating a bag of gummy dicks as a sign of submission or some such. Which breaks the whole "only in game" narrative in two and then throws the pieces in the bin.

Because I'm sure Reddit wouldn't have a field day with that video and the inevitable pictures and memes that would follow the guy for the rest of his Eve career. And probably his real career once the MBC version of digi gets a hold of it.

As long as you're not tackled, there will never be more than 3 minutes between pressing 'warp' and entering warp; it won't be possible to keep a target bump tackled for several minutes while your fleet gets into position.

basically the way it will work is you initiate warp, and after 180 seconds, you complete align and enter warp no matter what

however if some unscrupulous ne'erdowell warps in a rookie frigate with a t1 warp disruptor and points you, that warp initiation falls off

Time to warp, the time taken to align and get up to the required speed to enter warp.

It means that bumping freighters until you can muster up enough dudes to murder them is significantly more difficult

I saw some of your earlier posts when you started Eve, but I keep missing a couple days of the thread and then suddenly it's 1200 posts longer and I just skip to the end.

Ships & Modules Presentation

  • Revenant buff includes Afterburner bonus, and a hitpoint and slot layout change.
  • Capitals get Tech 2 ammunition, including faction guns.
  • New Capital NPCs will drop named module components, and faction capital modules.
  • There are Normal Capital, Commander Capital, & Commander Supercapital.
  • They spawn in Null asteroid belts, sanctums & havens.
  • CCP are unifying signature resolution attribute at 40,000, to make the actual difference between guns more legible.
  • This does not change tracking results at all, its just to make comparing modules easier in this regard.
  • Blackops Battleships are being tweaked to have 1/2 its current Jump Fatigue.
  • Higgs Anchor (WH thing), while its fitted will nullify an interdiction bubble.
  • Warfare links are due in the summer. They will be area of effect buffs that last for its duration. No more need for specific fleet position for these boosters. They do not stack.
  • Rorqual get AoE Links, new excavator drones, mass reduction for wormholes, and a new AoE defensive invulnerability module. It prevents anyone from moving or attacking for its duration, including your fleet.
  • Vendetta (supercarrier?) is another ship whose stats were given.
  • On top of this are pirate implants by the various pirate factions.
  • Current Slave Implant bonus are going to become a Blood Raiders implant (name change only), Slave Implants will become a shield HP implant.
  • New Angel Cartel Remote Rep implant. etc. (see image below).
  • Fatigue is getting some tweaks, such as ship based fatigue, spool up required before jumping, etc. no concrete design stated though.
  • There will be a cap on how long a ship will spend on the entering warp phase without be pointed. Maximum time is 3 minutes, meaning no extended period of being bumped.
  • CCP are considering a Battlecruiser sized Fleet Command ship that can't do any E-War or Damage, but has high tank. This is to prevent FC headshotting

Most current alliance leaders are douchy in some special way, hell most past ones too.

My personal favorite was always Progodlegend and his unwarranted sense of self importance. Because despite Inventing Every Fleet Doctrine Ever his biggest claim to fame was forging a bunch of pet alliances and corps originally dependent on BoB to do anything of note into an elite fighting force that was entirely dependent on PL/NC. to do anything of note. Hurray you smushed all the spread out worthless crap into a pile. Good job. Better post like you are an equal/senior partner in this whole thing and not the meat shield lol.

That seems a bit optimistic. CCP trying to scale a single hull irregardless of the size of the enemy fleet.

Currently half a million EHP will get you head shotted in the wrong fight. So what's the alternative? a subcap with a million EHP? How does that scale when you bring it into a small gang? Or shifting fleet sizes? Will this brick of a ship be able to FC interceptors? T3s?

Maybe they will limit amount of DPS it takes so it will take x number of seconds to kill no matter how much incoming DPS. I think they are doing that for citadel's?

Rather than take subcaps to crazy EHP levels, I can't see why they wouldn't just review the Target Spectrum Breaker module that was introduced for exactly this purpose but no one uses because it's dumb and half-assed.

Interesting idea my only concern would be logi being able to surpass that dps threshold making the fc invincible. I think one command ship per ship class that can switch between a shield based tank and armor tank similar to how the t3 destroyers can change their "mode" so they can fly with any fleet comp and you don't have to balance 50 new ships.

if you activate it it has a chance to break locks on you, the more locks on you the higher the chance they break
