Never been a null guy, but the prospect of New Eden's 'astrographical' features making lowsec a bit more dicey thanks to these changes is a plus in my book.

This change will help make EVE "bigger" again, where logistics matter again. Maybe we will even get back the times when large convoys of ships with escorts to get assets from A to B is a thing once more.

I surely can't hurt.
Hopefully this will make piracy a thing again.  As in the playstyle of small groups preying on the bloated powerful groups' supply lines and turning a profit.  It seems like "piracy" now is large groups who're either bloated nullsec alliances bored with lack of "good fights" or large groups who've had their run at being bloated nullsec alliances and have now been kicked out of the sandbox, blobbing anything in sight in lowsec.  Hard to imagine how that's fun for anyone.

I remember BYDI camping gates in Molden Heath with 6-10 pilots in HACs and BS, and EM bringing 6-10 pilots in HACs and BS to police the territory.  I was a young pilot then, couldn't do much about BYDI myself, but I had fun in a couple of EM gangs fighting those guys in Bosena.  I can't remember the last time I jumped into Amamake and the gate wasn't either clear or camped by 30+.

This is a forum on steroids tbh. The rate at which content worth reading is being generated could get you pregnant.

I don't think so, as the 'method' of A to B hasn't changed, just the distances.

Cynoing hopping directly between stations and friendly POS still remains largely invulnerable to interference when done carefully.  :(
