i thought it was working as intended.

to give smaller corps as chance, the intrusion timers are set to happen all around the clock. All Tasks can be done in relative short times <5minutes and most of them only need a single agent.

perfectly well balanced and  outpost locking prevents bigger corps from not overpowering smaller ones.

the random times all around the clock are also perfectly working to prevent smaller entities to capture and keep several outposts all across the game world.

oh, and the loot drop rewards that each sap drops are perfectly well implemented to boost big fights...

*signature*

So you want to be able to blob your enemies with more numbers when its convenient for you?  And not have to play with other players in their own timezone?

Well Jita your corporation is the only one willing to do anything about it.  Hats off to ya'll.

There was a time of ~2 years when every 2nd SAP had the potential for a 50+ man fight. Then we got bored of owning the world in a dead game and left to play other games.

Intrusion 2.0 works fine when there's a population. Same as everything in the game.

Been there, doing that. Ended with all of you guys turn into ninja sappers when noone is on. Exactly that chance for a small corp, uhu.

Disagree, to "own" an island you need to only be able to cover all timezones. Living on an island is not necessarily related to covering all timezones. All you need is an alt in the stations to do sap scans and then turn up early to defend.
I would love to see it made in such a way that you DID need to live on an island to own it, but there is simply not enough content to keep people happy on a single island at the moment. No-one really wants beta 2's because it seems the planned upgrade to them has been tossed in the bin, add to that the stupid specimen sap and, well you can see what the landscape is like.

You can't "own" an island. The only thing you can own on Betas - is 2-3 stations and some space right around you that is within your optimal range. All that TZ bullshit - it's just an excuse to avoiding fights.

I have to admit, that post had me somewhat baffled as well.. Wasn't quite sure what to make of it.

Ville just wants to say, there are more guys without family and job on his side then yours

I would, but there is no Race Drones.

So current system requires me being online every 8-16 hours to get those lost percents back, and I can'r choose the time that suits me well. That means that all the ownership - it's hust a matter of who has no life but protect all the saps, or a matter of sap types being opened. Like, who is getting more of good saps and who is not. For that last case we could just drop the coin, you know.

Having no timezones or all timezones is fun. Until sleep kicks in.

That would be nice and game if not on daily basis. Says, once per 2-3 days.

Point is, that once you capture an outpost, you're involved into continuous SAP defence, which leave you almost no time for everything else unless you're a no-lifer. As an adult man, you have to spend 8 hours for sleep, 8 hours for work, 2 hours for a ride from work to home and back (it's all average), which leaves you up to 5 play hours total. SAPs are occur every 8-16 hours, that means you have 0% chance to successfully defend next SAP, and roughly about 31% to defend a SAP after that in your primetime. That's kinda...low.

Ofc you can say that you as an attacker have exactly the same 0% and 31%, but hey. Difference is, that there can be only one owner but multiple attackers, which means that for successfull defence I have to form up alliances covering as much TZ as possible, while attackers can go solo. That sounds like an unfair advantage of attackers. and makes defending harder than attacking which is, combining with risks and rewards of owning an outpost, makes the outpost ownership close to meanless.

Ah yessss, and ofc current mechanics meants that with about 50% probability I will be busy defending my outpost at the primetime (forming up fleet, moving, defending, and all the stuff), which leaves me close to nothing free time of my primetime, making me unable to do whatever else it's need to be done to maintain my corporation.
