[Phoebe] Long Distance Travel Changes - updates!
Forenpost

#1 Posted: 2014.10.09 18:03 | Edited by: CCP Greyscale

Hi everyone,

We've collected, parsed and thoroughly discussed your *extensive* feedback on the proposed long-distance travel changes,
both in the official thread and elsewhere, consulted with the CSM, and made adjustments accordingly.

Conclusions we have reached through this exercise:

The ease of nullsec logistics permitted by jump freighters and, to a lesser extent, jump bridge networks is not aligned with where we would like nullsec industry to be.
It *is*, however, pretty well aligned with where nullsec industry is right now. As we improve the status quo for industry in nullsec, we will want to reevaluate this balance,
along with the impact potential changes would have on logistical work for other areas of the game.
We're pretty happy with the impact of the proposed changes on the movement of non-covert combat ships, as it relates to both jump drives and jump bridges, for all ranges.
We're not overly concerned about the battle rorqual; if it starts being used in a widespread fashion, we will nerf it, but we're not expecting this to happen.
We're also not overly concerned yet about HG Ascendency capital fleets, since such capital movement would be very vulnerable to disruption and because it relies on very rare items.
If this becomes a widespread usage pattern we will likely take action, and we'll be keeping a close eye on everything surrounding capital movement after Phoebe.
Black ops are working in a generally OK manner on TQ right now, and we want to minimize harm to their use with these changes.
We don't like repeating decimals.

Therefore, changes we are making to the previously-announced plan:

Jump freighter max range will be bumped up to 10LY, and they will keep the 90% fatigue-distance reduction.
This represents a slight range reduction compared to TQ, so some cynos will need to be repositioned, but otherwise leaves them largely alone.
Note that, because ranges multiply together for fatigue purposes, one 10LY jump is *substantially* less fatiguing (multiply by 11) than two 5LY jumps (multiply by 36). Rorquals will stay at 5LY/90%
All ships designated as having a "hauling" role in ISIS (ie the following ship groups: Industrial, Blockade Runner, Deep Space Transport, Industrial Command Ship, Freighter)
will similarly get a 90% reduction to distance counted for the purpose of fatigue generation. Obviously they can't jump themselves, but this also applies on use of bridges or portals.
We are adding some additional code to allow us to put a bonus on jump portals that reduces fatigue generation for all ships jumping through that portal.
This will be applied to Covert Jump Portals, with a value of around 50% (subject to further tuning). This means that all ships using a black ops portal will generate less fatigue.
We're going to bump the max range of black ops ships up slightly to 8LY, and likewise give them a ~50% fatigue bonus.
Finally, we're slightly nerfing JDC5, from 25%/level to 20%/level, and tuning base ranges accordingly. This allows us to give most capital ships a base range of 2.5LY, rather than 2.2r LY, and still hit our max range targets.
More work on these skills will probably be done in future, this is just minimum changes necessary to get these changes on TQ so we can see how they play out in practice and establish how comparatively valuable their different bonuses are.

These changes should all be hitting Singularity in the next few days; please give us feedback when they land!

Thanks,
-Greyscale

Und in dem board hat es noch einige Änderungen mehr
[Phoebe] Lowsec Doomsdays
Forenpost

#1 Posted: 2014.10.09 18:04

Hey everyone. As we mentioned in our recent dev blog, we are looking at enabling titan doomsday device operation in lowsec space.

The restriction against lowsec use of doomsdays is a relic of the days when the doomsday was an AoE weapon like bombs.
We have been wanting to clear up this exception for quite a while, and with the changes to capital ship movement in Phoebe we have an excellent opportunity to clear this up.

All existing restrictions around the doomsday decide will remain, including the fact that they can only be used against capitals.

Let us know what you think!

[Phoebe] HP/Resists Tweaks for Sov Structures and Station Services
Forenpost

#1 Posted: 2014.10.09 17:43

Hey everyone. One of the many smaller changes we have planned for Phoebe is a rebalance of the HP and resists of Sov Structures and Station Services.

In the medium-long term we are still committed to the idea that HP based objectives are a suboptimal way to swap control of sov infrastructure,
but until we can transition to a new capture mechanism we want to reduce the amount of time that is needed for both shooting and repairing these objectives.

These changes are intended to go alongside the big changes coming to capital ship movement coming in Phoebe, which make large supercarrier fleets less convenient for grinding structure HP.

These changes are live on SISI now.

Station Services: (-66% EHP)
-83% Shield HP
+50% shield resists

IHUBs and Stations: (-50% EHP)
-60% Shield and Armor HP
-50% Hull HP
+20% Shield and Armor Resists

SBUs: (-50% EHP)
-50% Shield, Armor and Hull HP

Let us know what you think!

[Phoebe] Change to Interdictor Bubble and Station Mechanics

Forenpost

#1 Posted: 2014.10.09 17:55 | Edited by: CCP Fozzie

Another of the many mechanics that we're looking at for Phoebe is the so-called "hobojamming" mechanic.
This is the mechanic where an interdictor pilot can undock from a station, drop a bubble to block capital ships from leaving the station, and then immediately redock before being locked.

In general we like to have lots of good methods for disrupting larger groups, but this "undock-bubble-dock-repeat" mechanic doesn't provide enough risk to the dictor pilot to be properly balanced.

So after Phoebe if a player in an Interdictor ship docks at a station that shares a grid with some of his or her Warp Disrupt Probes, those probes owned by the docking pilot will be automatically destroyed.

We believe that this change provides us the best solution to keeping the station-camping gameplay balanced while avoiding breaking other aspects of interdictor gameplay.

Big thanks to all the players who have engaged in the robust and lively discussion around this issue of the past several months, reading these discussions greatly helped us zero in on the best change.

Und eine Zusammenfassung der Änderungen (sogar in deutsch):
Devblog: Das kommt mit Phoebe am 4. November

#1 Posted: 2014.10.10 16:53 | Edited by: CCP Phantom

Kommentare, Fragen und Vorschläge zu dem Devblog Coming in Phoebe on November 4th sind hier herzlich willkommen.

Mit dem Phoebe-Release, der am 4. November veröffentlicht wird, sehen wir eine Vielzahl an Änderungen und Verbesserungen in EVE.
CCP Seagull, Executive Producer von EVE Online, fasst die wichtigsten Neuerungen zusammen.

Änderungen der Sprungmechanik
Wie in diesem Devblog vorgestellt, werden Sprungantriebe, Sprungportale und Sprungbrücken so geändert, dass das Überbrücken großer Distanzen nicht mehr so gefahrlos möglich sein wird und mehr Planung voraussetzt.
Dazu wird die Mechanik der "Sprungermüdung" eingeführt und gleichzeitig Capital- und Supercapitalschiffen erlaubt, normale Sprungtore (ausgenommen Highsec) zu benutzen.

Unbegrenzte Skill-Warteschlange
Mit Phoebe wird man seine Skill-Warteschlange unbegrenzt füllen können, die Begrenzung auf 24 Stunden fällt weg - ausgenommen Probekonten, hier gilt weiterhin die 24-Stunden-Begrenzung.

"Multisell" - Verkaufen mehrerer Gegegenstände gleichzeitig
Das Verkauf mehrerer Gegenstände gleichzeitig wird eingeführt. Man wird nicht mehr für jeden einzelnen Gegenstand den Verkaufsdialog aufrufen müssen.

Sensorübersicht 2.0 und Bookmarks im Weltraum
Wie in diesem Devblog vorgestellt, wird die Sensorübersicht verbessert. Nicht wird man optional Bookmarks im Weltraum sehen können, man kann auch Missionsziele und weitere Objekte in der Sensorübersicht sehen können.

Überarbeitete Inventions
Inventions und Reverse Engineering werden mit Phoebe überarbeitet und zusammengefasst. Weitere Änderungen, etwa Skillvoraussetzungen bei Schiffserfindungen, sind vorgesehen. Von Spielern vorgeschlagene Verbesserungen an der Industrie-UI werden ebenfalls eingeführt, etwa die Möglichkeit, die obere Hälfte der Industrie-UI auszublenden.

Neue Benachrichtungen
Nach einer Betaphase mit Überarbeitungen und Verbesserungen, wird ein neues Benachrichtungssystem eingeführt. Dieses Benachrichtungssystem ist moderner und erlaubt eine detaillierte Konfiguration.

Bessere Darstellung von Missionszielen
Missionsziele werden besser angezeigt, etwa welche Struktur genau zerstört werden muss. Weitere Details werden in einem Devblog veröffentlicht.

Überarbeitet Belohnungen bei Entdeckungen
Data Sites werden wertvoller mit etlichen neuen Gegenständen angereichert. Data und Relic Sites, die man zuvor im Nullsicherheitsgebiet finden konnte, sind nun auch in Wurmlöchern der Klasse 1 bis 3 zu finden sein.
Ein Devblog mit weiteren Details ist geplant.

Grafikverbesserungen
Die Tarneffekte für Covert- und Prototype-Tarnmodule werden unterscheidbar sein. Ebenfalls werden die Hintergrundnebel in EVE heller werden, um eine Beleuchtung in EVE zu ermöglichen.

Weitere Informationen zu Phoebe findet man in dem englischsprachigen Originalblog und werden hier auf dem deutschsprachigen Forum veröffentlicht.
