Sovereignty: Difference between revisions

These upgrades confer bonuses to the presence of combat sites appearing within the system. They rely on the security status of the system with lower security systems providing more combat sites. When a site is completed, it will respawn after a set amount of time. There are three levels of each upgrade with high-level types providing faster site respawn times at the cost of more power and workforce.  

== Power, Workforce, and Reagents ==

 

With the advent of Equinox[https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/sovereignty-updates-transition-and-upgrades], systems now have more requirements to upgrade the space around them. These requirements can be physical items such as Reagents or in-system effects such as power and workforce.

 

Workforce comes from temperate, barren, and oceanic planets. Workforce is "harvested" by orbital skyhooks and can be "moved" from system to system provided that the same alliance owns all the systems between the origin and destination.  

 

 

Reagents are harvested from planets automatically by skyhooks. Superionic ice comes from ice planets and magmatic gas comes from lava planets.

 

Power and workforce allow a sov holder to online upgrades. A low power system, like QX-LIJ[https://evemaps.dotlan.net/system/QX-LIJ], with only 650 power, can only online the barest of upgrades, while a high power system can online more. Power can not change; once all eligible planets have skyhooks, the power of the system is maxed.

 

Workforce can be transferred between systems, making it a more malleable number. It uses the new [[Skyhook]] mechanics to transfer between systems.  When these structures are reffed, it can cause interruption in structures in the system they are transferring to.

[[Security status]] (aka True sec) create security bands split by increments.  The better bands will spawn greater numbers of rats in lower security systems naturally.  The new Major and Minor Threat Detection systems with levels 1 through 3 will greatly increase the numbers of ratting anomalies based on the low sec status in the systems.  This can be important for maintaining ADMs and having players in space.  Only one major and one minor can be per system.  The smallest systems of 650 power can only support one major 1, or one minor 1 or 2, for instance.  But no other upgrades can be used effectively there.
