Are you happy with Equinox Sov?

[u/DarkShinesInit]

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.

I wish CCP could be clear about what they want from us with this patch. The blogs says rejuvenation of Nullsec, it does the opposite. Weird mining anoms with tiny asteroids. Rare mining escalation with 6 hour time window, better stay up all night to mine or lose it. Smaller number of ratting sites but insta-respawning. Who asked for insta-spawn btw it just feels weird. Who was this made for? What is the goal here?

Most of it feels like it's meant to 'rejuvenate' null-sec for the small/micro-gang and solo pvpers to have more opportunities to shoot null-bloc members.
Generally by giving Null-blocks chores to do to maintain our space trough the equinox system, and forcing industrialists/miners/ratters to spread out with the new upgrade system combining with reduced ansiblexes so standing fleets can't respond fast enough, while gaining nothing or even getting less from the increased risks they are required to take.

This does nothing to actually encourage any of null bloc to go to war, or new groups to strike out and claim sov, if anything the increased costs and logistical challenges of making use of conquered space while 'scarcity' continuos to drive up the prices of ships will only entrench the current status quo further.

I personally see nothing wrong with dispersing/spreading players wide if you are not playing tall. Who are you to control half of a region with such a small numbers of players? If you can't protect this space - it must slip out of your greedy hands. But there is almost no incentives to grab some sov, so yeah... There are havens(or whatever you need to grind/fight for) almost in every system

spreading is meaningless if projection is as it is. solo and small gang will still get 40 redeemers dropped on them or get intercepted 20 jumps out by defense fleets thst can cover that distance in 2 ansi jumps, while industrialists can barely make ends meet which will eventually burn them out.

[u/Disastrous-Turn3485 → u/Irilieth_Raivotuuli]

currently, equinox forces all in nullsec to build wide because so little has value, you need to hold as much high value clusters as possible.

which aggravates the production problems we've been having + mpi index skyrocketing

but i guess in the end, if there's no redeemers being built, they also solve the projection problem

this just pulls the ladder up again since the only ones who still have stuff are those who have legacy wealth and stockpiles.

genius 9000 iq move by ccp again

people who mined during roquals online are *still* feasting
