Well Yogita and I finally did it. We brought our Archon class carriers filled to the brim with ships, through tribute, and venal. In venal we disrupted a gate camp by destroying a small bubble. We had to put up with smack talk from the 2 players hoping to catch smaller prey. You see with the newest changes to eve, namely capital, and super capital ships can now take gates, traveling long distances with needing to cyno is possible. However, timing is of the essence. We timed our escape RIGHT AFTER downtime. That means players are just logging back in, so instead of having a sever with 25-30,000 people online, there are only 2-5,000. That means lots of empty systems, and pvper's are gearing up, but not fully set up yet.
I am glad that we have our Archon's in branch, I think the deployments we are having are a mistake. With the changes to sov coming huge deployments are going to mean that you can and will lose sov way back at home. Currently the deployment system is a good 66 jumps from branch. Even taking interceptors it is going to take one heck of a long time. And even with reduced jumpclone timers hostiles are going to be able to set up shop in many systems taking and holding sov before alliances can bring their full weight to bear.
I envision small roams making more sense, not only for practical reasons like holding sov., but for the content. It looks like things will become more fun!
