That 18-hour vulnerability window for a system without indices is pretty huge. I realize they want completely unused systems to be contestable whenever, but that also affects a freshly-claimed system, meaning that you have to actively defend it all day every day until the indices go up. How quickly can you max out mil index with a half a dozen people ratting in a system?

Ratting paps not far away.
But you also have to defend this ratters. If system will be contested, enemy roamers will try to kill your ratters.

Maxing might take a bit but you can go from 0 to 2 pretty fast. The way the multipliers stack up just getting a couple levels will cut the vulnerability time down to 6 hours which is roughly "your timezone". Looking around the map there's a system in the drones that Solar have owned for 3 days with mil 2 / ind 1 already.


But the other thing is, with fozziesov ping-ponging system control a couple times might just be an expected thing. Don't even bother ratting or mining for indexes until you have enough control that the system is gonna tick up to strat 1 on it's own. If the enemy takes it back, well you get an 18 hour window to chose from yourself! In the meantime any stations are freeported half the time and everything is a living hell for the guys trying to live there. Chaos reigns. :kheldragar:

It sounds pretty good to me. Right now wars are super boring, you have some big fights for a structure until one side realizes their all hands CTA can't beat the other guy's all hands CTA, then they quit and the whole map flips. Fozziesov feels like it will have some of the good parts of POS sov (timezone shenanigans, ping-pong, uncertainty over who was winning) without the bad parts (POS grind, GSOL guys slitting their wrists after onlining modules for 8 hours).

Thinking of coming back after having not played for ~4 years. Is there some sort of API-based tool that will let me browse everything about my character (assets, skills, etc.) before I reactivate?

Edit: That is OSX. I remember Evemon being Windows only.

Evething is browser based. If you were in goonfleet before you might be able to use the goonfleet-run version at https://evething.goonfleet.com

Did they already alter the way industrial index is calculated, or is that planned? It's not mentioned in that devblog at all.

No doubt this whole system is a massive improvement over both Dominion and POS sov, but with an 18-hour initial window, the ping-pong is going to be insane, especially since a major alliance can flip any number of zero-index systems in an uncontested timezone. As a war drags on, the number of unholdable systems will snowball until one side gives up-- sort of like every other sov system, but death by a thousand cuts freeports instead of by one giant fleet welp.

Contrary to the initial fixed window, this makes multi-TZ presence basically a requirement if you actually want to keep any gains (or secure a non-freeport staging system) against an enemy who's still fighting.

Chillingly accurate.

Regarding EVE:

Play EVE. Try everything, Groon included. Be sure to be inconsistent and slightly useless everywhere, and also a spy for FIX (or I guess Black-Mark or IRC, if you want a more modern dead alliance) to be sure to never get promoted.
