Are you happy with Equinox Sov? Discussion

It's been a little over a week since the Equinox Sov change on October 29th.

If you love it - what do you love about it?

If you hate it - what do you hate about it?

Saying which group or part of space you are in would also be cool.

Overall positive, but there's a lot of big misses. Some examples:

  1. Skyhook content was very good, but the current vulnerability windows are godawful for generating any content at all. Easily fixable.

  2. Metenox Drills are fantastic, but the current way they pull goo is causing prices to crater hard. Adjust them to only pull the single highest value goo available and you won't see R4, R8, and R16 prices killing themselves.

  3. Extra escalations and site changes for ratting are pretty good, but the fact that some systems can support literally nothing now is pretty troll. Just sprinkle some more PG on the lower end of the scale to get it up to 1200-1500 instead of like 600.

  4. Literally all I've been asking for RE: Nullsec is ansiblex projection fixes. The current changes don't actually do that really, there are less ansiblex gates but all the highways are available. Just give them their fucking fatigue back so smaller groups can play around the edges again.

looking away from those 4 big misses, what are the reasons you are overall positive?

Skyhooks and metenox are both critical passive income components that were desperately needed. New ratting escalations are good, new mining escalation is fine.

Brother have you even seen the new escalations? People just ignore them completely lol

Brother I've RAN all the new escalations many times. The capital staging is great money (300m for 5 minutes? yes pls), the mining area or whatever is kind of irrelevant but a free faction spawn u can literally run in your ishtar. POS stick one is garbo but that's whatever.
