No. gently caress you, it's a good idea.

I'm against anything that adds more timers tbh. I'm also not too enticed by having to conquer regions after regions and play some weird musical chair game.

how you know a game mechanic has failed: fozziesov has 33% less timers than dominion, yet it's objectively worse

timers are fun and cool when they can be timed to happen on Saturday evenings. Timers in AUTZ on a wednesday are dumb horseshit.

Yeah 10% Tidi but I was in a Dictor so I bubbled the enemy logi as ordered by the FC and then I was promptly sent to 1DQ. A good time was had by all in my opinion. Would tidi again.

that conflict wasn't about resources, it was about defeating the old northern coalition

in fact, no war in eve has ever been about resources, with the potential exception being kicking test out of fountain, but even that smacks of being sold that way for different motives

(i don't know for sure as i was mega unsubbed and disconnected at the time)

#Delve2012 best war ever.

Probably the most fun i have had in eve.

Is there any talk of making new Warp Gates? I imagine even if they're pricy as hell to skill up to make and fund the construction it'd change up the game dynamic nicely. Set up a travel hub, tax passage through the gates by tonnage or something. If you could make a good enough shortcut that it'd be worth it to pay the tax, maybe this sort of thing could spur a new reason to fight over systems?

I'm pretty sure at some point, there was this idea of player stargates flying around, but I don't really follow the devs notes so I don't know if that's still a thing.

yeah, the last of the new structure types is supposed to be "gates," but that is from old rear end fanfest powerpoint slides and who knows what they'll actually do when they get around to it

they've drawn out the new structures over 3 years already, stargates are probably not coming until winter 2018.


Also odds are that they're just gonna end up being the replacement for jump bridges. All the other ambitious ideas with new gameplay got dialed back to basic replacements of old stuff, I doubt gates will break the trend. This trailer is already a joke but it's gonna be even more a joke when gates come out. "The prophecy! We must stop capsuleers from constructing the same thing they've had for years!"

Maybe they can re-edit it to put a Sparc player in there, who throws a bouncy energy ball into the gate's core to activate it.

I don't expect much from player built gates considering the massive leash they have on something so already limited as jump bridges.

It's funny listening to old stories of jump bridges forming continuous networks across regions. Used offensively to strike instantly from the heart of your own home system to an enemy buffer region.

Yes and goons were the only folks with a coherent jumpbridge network covering half of EVE. We could take a 256 man fleet from VFK to the border of Catch in about 40 minutes. The eye of terror was OP as gently caress, but also essential for having holdings that large.

I remember when you could have two JB's in each system and just bounce bridge to bridge all the way down without ever seeing a gate.
