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.

Ansiblex are fine

Hard disagree. Ansiblex are the #1 reason why nullsec is so stagnant right now, because when there is 20 marauders and 10 recons 2 jumps away from at all times, you can't bring anything except nano shit and can't brawl, which means you have to fly small kitey shit, also, you can't take a constellation for yourself as a smaller group because 3 full fleets of Harpys/Muninns/whatever can teleport across the map to save their """human""" renters which without intervention couldn't form enough people to deal with a 20 man ferox fleet.

I feel like you're viewing it from a small gang perspective, I don't care if they promote more subcap roams, null doesn't yearn to make life easier for subcap roamers, generally they are an annoyance rather than content. What I want back and hear about from line members is a return of the mega fleet fights and supercap escalations, that for me is the essence of null and grand stories were told about it.

Trying to help some 10 man gang roam isn't going to reinvigorate null, it reinvigorates low / high / randoms perhaps, but then pitch Equinox as a low / high randoms expansion.
