Topic: How do the Devs view power projection?

So now what I warned you about here:

http://forums.perpetuum-online.com/topi … rojection/

Has happened can we discuss what the mechanics should look like to prevent or make harder these tactics?

Sparks have to go

For Beta it's pretty obvious that it's the mechanic that increases stability without actively defending that is at fault

Gamma is a lot more difficult but as I said in the other thread I would suggest that the energy requirements for a base are high so that it takes effort to keep one active. I would further suggest that when a base goes inactive it forgoes all of its reinforcement timers. This way if a base is active its a reasonable time sink (say 20 man hours a week) and if that time sink is not kept up with the base can be completely destroyed without the defender able to use the reinforce timezones to pick a fight.

Proverbs 23:20-21 warns us, “Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat, for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags."

Sparks won't go away until.

1: remote market is implemented

2: Beta/gamma island are profitable to live in

3: Beta/gamma can provide good fun without moving to alpha

That's what I think the Devs want first. Although I think they still need another nerf for now.

all three points are no reason to let spark teleport active. with the current highway speed, and all his alts and excess XP to spend on those few market extension, jita will manage to keep his market profits alive on those mere 6 terminals...

Devs have never, to my knowledge, discussed remote market and industry issues. If they have it was over year ago. Or I have just missed this huge issue. When are they doing that? And scrapping sparks after Beta/Gamma are profitable and/or fun ...that's just rubbish. If Devs want those things first they are both silent and smoking crack.

Here is Dev Zoom's last word on Sparks...

Sorry but we refuse to see spark teleport as an issue. Or if it is, it's at least equally helping the game.

Anyway, this back and forth on the forums is meaningless. What does Zoom think?

Shortsightedness at it's finest. Surprises me how far people are going to ruin their own gaming experience. Cherry on top is all the crying on the forums that there's no-one to play against. lol

Well spoken, sir.

Those of you lucky enough to have your lives, take them with you. However, leave the mods you've lost. They belong to me now.
