Gibo pointed out what I was going to say. Before SpT was in the game numbers ruled. The proposed change wont change this in any way.

If you can read without political glasses on I have actually agreed with many things on your side.

No to nerf Ewar
No to any reimbursement caused by bug or losses on Xiantor.
Yes that SpT could use a cooldown. I just differ on how much of a cooldown is needed.
I think 10 minutes, 30, max, would be enough to nerf SpT as an aid to power projection while not *** it for the rest of the game activites where travel sucks. You guys have suggested 4-24 hr cooldowns, I think thats overkill.

More SpT locations = More Industry. Period. Did everyone forget you now needed 3-4 times the number of bots to stock your SpT locations? This is a boom to industry, and markets. And more PvP bots means more potential for PvP.

Also, recently another corp member sold me some minerals. We both used SpT to move around to various terminals to complete this transaction. Less SpT means this simple transaction will not be possible or make it tedious and much longer to complete. So it nerfs trade. The game needs the ability to do remote contracts but hey, its not here now.

With the limits proposed, power projection is nerfed, but only slightly. You can still cover anywhere within 10 minutes, and you can still INSTANTLY SpT multiple times without cooldown. But the same nerf kills many trade transactions and minimizes market production.

So it does ***. Thats why I dont like it. And whoa, the political map has changed, no longer do we own everything. Guess what my position hasn't.

Thanks for the brick comment Rex, clearly you don't understand all the ramifications of the proposal and what it affects, and what it will do.

-25.

You sound like a Pokémon nerd.  Makes sense imo.

Totally sucks now, I cant be everywhere.

Agreed.

Told you so.

With the current way sparks work I'd lower their complexity down a notch.

Spark Teleport is the new Navigation.

If its the new Navigation, can't we just get rid of the skill entirely and just give everyone 10 slots from the get go?

+1

..still not a fan of this particular Point Allocation spark nerf. Even though I think it does not go far enough it really should not be tied to EP in any way. Plus I hope there are still other teleport and highway enhancements on the way, along with contracts systems and remote buy sell. Those problems still exist and need a proper solution.

With that way we could then have a set of skills like "Basic/Advanced/Expert Betterisation", "Basic/Advanced/Expert Easysation", some others, which would have complexity at 9 (getting easy should be a hard way!) and basically, do nothing more than a psychological effect.

I agree with you here. Sparking is just a bandage. Hopefully the transportation gets overhaul in the future and sparking can be removed completely.

Only took a year to get.

Come on...  I told you about power projection(well Arga) and you would not listen.  Now you pay the price...  Gammas not going to be ANY different...  You know this is coming
