EVE General Discussion

Eve is a complex, and complicated system.
Solutions to imagined problems are unneccasary.
But if they were required, they would probably be complex and complicated solutions.


What you view as a problem or a game-mechanic deficiency is also viewed as a vitaly required component of the whole by someone else.
Generally all the [Fix Nulsec], [Fix Lowsec], [Nerf Hisec] threads are based on personal perceptions that ignore the wider implications of the EvE system as a whole, and those perceptions are typically based on [/stupid].

People moan and whine about having to pay 600m isk to dec goonswarm now, yet paying 600m ISK cost per single freighter attack is now 'totally feasible' disruption operation? Heh.

Minimal courier costs and guaranteed delivery are just some of the things that will be fixed by removing NPC corps and other forms of wardec evasion. Imagine if those horrid collectivist groups had to actively defend their supply lines instead of just effortlessly moving goods through proxies and alts.

So you want CCP to promote collectivism, but a discussion on intentions of collectivists in Eve isn't relative?
1 man corps are made by those who play NPC Corps, but want access to a POS (why, I don't know, for reasons I explain earlier, it just isn't viable in the long term imo)
In the end, making us quit NPC to form a slew of 1-man corps isnt what you're going for, that's just a step. Ultimaly what you want is to then attack the one man corp under the battle cry "join us or else"...collectivism at work, progressive style (implementation of collectism through process of incremental elimination of indivisual freedoms).

Like they are the only ones going after this op.
Gotta love E-Bravato

Oh, content: OP, not a new idea. Actually quite an unoriginal take on a very unoriginal idea. [Force people to play the way I think they should play] or they can find something else.

Very original.

Nullsec has more ship losses (50.1%) then all other regions combined despite having only 20% of the active player population, the concept that highsec is more dangerous then any other space, except perhaps wormhole space, is a comforting untruth. Still, you touch on a correct idea - that the supply lines are very, very secure thanks to alts in NPC corps and other tactics to store and transport assets safely. So much so that nullsec can consume the majority of highsec's output with very little effort on their end to secure their unguarded assets against highsec PVPers.

How did you get that from my post?

Not really, most of the nullsec kills come from hi-seccers wanting to explore null sec for the first time (possible future nullseccers) getting shot in the back by nullers as soon as they enter the first gate into null, the same nullers who complain all day and night that their aren't enough people in null...wonder why they dont come back? hmmm..again, nullseccers shot themselves in the foot, and want CCP to force people to go into null for more gatecamping gun practice. remove the gatecamping tactics on noob explorers and you that 50.1 that you pull seemingly out of no where awfull fast dissapears.
As for player corps using NPC hauling alts, as Ive said, indivisualism is the enemy of collectivism so you must destroy it. A few have seen the glory of being an indivisual and have one foot in the indivisualist door, so you must destroy it before it gorws. The fact they have an NPC corp alt isn't an issue with NPC's, but an issue with Alts. You want NPC alt's to end, you must then have CCP reject their embrace of Alt'ing, not destroy the NPC Corp, because that's where you're problem lies...which isnt a problem, haulers are ganked every day, I don't know where you think hauling is "safe..it's an absurd notion.

hm yes I heard there was a 2700 man fight the other day, must be a lot of hiseccers wanting to explore null sec for the first time at once. it's a good thing you opened your post with this statement btw.

it doesn't matter if they do or if they sub contract to alts, the risk has been transferred with the contract. if you blap their goods they get the collateral so no it is not a supply line, it's a courier contract.

you need a supply line in sov space because courier's can't dock.

i have to say i like the idea of getting rid of anything but noob npc corps and making a character independent if they are not members of a corp...

that way it takes away the war dec shield as you can now war dec a character...

i would also make standard personal tax rate of 10% that goes as a fee to concord for non corp membership registration fees... the fees are used for stargate maintenance as a pr excuse....
