EVE General Discussion

Nulsec is empty because bubbles exist.

The only time people ever went to nulsec in large numbers is when Dominion made it profitable for people to sit in their home system running sanctums.

Nulsec will never be widely populated as long as bubbles exist.

Gate controls

the dev blogs pointed to a desire to have small groups move more quicky than large groups

... so something on the order is probably in the mix already.

Of course rules will be sticky in terms of giving away for another fleet to get into a pre-loaded system... very sticky indeed... probably needing some new mechanics hence a ways offf.

Worm hole space is essentially gate controlled 0.0 space ... maybe more worm hole space is needed, a new sort of region of 0.0 is created (or a few existing ones converted) is created without fixed gates but worm holes that constantly respawn after imploding and respawn maybe to a random other system in the same region .....every system would have two or three "worm gates" which would create a sort of unkowable maze to venture throught.

The bulk of the holes could vary in size two and have their remaining mass clear to see so people looking for smaller fleet pvp could get some general sense of the maximum that would jump through to them.

I think there are the mechanics in place to role out that sort of thing in a few months. (Probably need to create new space to do it to avoid the polical fallout if you took other peoples space from them by fiat for something that might just end up being a failed test. (you can't really know until you try some of these things and shouldn't really expect to know)

-- its just a matter of using existing features.. wormoles(the portal, not the space behind them), 0.0 sov space and rules, and exposing some info on the wormhole portal not shown before but which must have existed somewhere/

You my sir must live in 0.0; I would only add this.

Those who are looking for a safe way to get into null sec where the big scary monster won't eat you, it does not exist, you can follow the path as many others before you but always at a risk. Pilots like me who fly in 0.0, share the excitement that the next gate could hold 20, 30, 100 red's…this is why we do it. The risk and reward is real and not buttered up like it is in High Sec; If I were to request a change (trollers start your engines) to counter pirates in High Sec, place an immediate 24 hour war dec between the corps involved. This would allow for your Corp or Alliance mates to fight back on your behalf … something we already have in 0.0 :o)
For those who are brave, and want to be a part of something that is bigger than themselves, like to jump from planes, or swim in the ocean... Come down and play with the big kids in the deep side of the pool. 0.0 will welcome you with Open Arms ... Unlike high sec corps that players come and go from, in 0.0 your best mate is your wingman; if you win or lose it is due to the efforts of all.

CCP Sound Wave -- it is done. No need to nurf anything now; just fix the long list of broken things in 0.0. Part of the thrill of 0.0 is constant effort required to hold your own, to fight for what you believe, and to belong to a group of people that like to call you friend…( mostly LOL). To Fight to hold something that you believe in, whether right or wrong, in the world, in Eve, this is what we do.
If you continually put restraints how can it truly be a SandBox .... Part of Eve's appeal is the freedom to choose your path. Whether your part of a Major Alliance; or a renter to a Mega Alliance; 0.0 life is what we chose. Those that want to venture in to the deep end - Do. How do you make it more appealing to new players? Let it continue to be free form action. If we wanted scripts we would play W.O.W

Thank you for your time.

Interesting idea

A variation (without the wormhole connotation) would be to do this with a 'recharge time' on gates. Using a gate depletes power by the amount of mass it shifts. A gate recharges with time, in exactly the way the capacitor works (a total capacity and recharge rate), such that a frigate gang can almost always move freely, but some gates seriously impede movement of large gangs of larger ships.

That's a great post linked - When I have a minute I will add some of the suggestions to the OP.

Read this link people - the man has sense.

It was a horrible vast ISK fountain.

I think you are wrong. Whether its bubbles or stasis webifiers or any other game mechanic tha traps your ships. It is the mechanics of the game. The PVP player that controls the situation is the winner. A bubble might effect NULL at a gate or a station but is not used at other places in a system.

What do you consider normal? Industrialists? Those that are trying to create a profit through trading? PVPers?

Non risk takers?


NULL is not for the faint at heart. NULL has risks and rewards. Learn to adapt to the events that occur. You jump into a bubble? Adapt to that, how do you get out of the bubble and stay alive? Do you even know the limitations of a bubble? Do you know how do deal with one?

Don't tell me that the bubble is the greatest reason why people don't go into null because this shows how ill informed you are. The problem for people is not the bubble, its the safety.

The best thread about how the game actually stands and how this game could/should be improved.

Risk vs Reward accordingly to the "choice" you do. The big lines are just fine to me.

Look another logic fail.


If you want new people to get involved in nulsec dont put a nooby trap at the entrance.

I like the 0.0 because it's necessary to organize and to stay focussed to survive. I was in 0.0 since my char was 3 months old. When I was flying the Megathron the first time, I invested all my ISK to be in a large fleet in Delve War I. No bubble, no Titan with Area of effect Weapon or no bad leader could stopp my live in 0.0.

That what the most of you want is nothing more than easy kills being rich without any effort. War is dedication and stay focussed. Most of you failed, when demanding nerfs hitting your enemys. Most of you failed, demanding getting rid of bubbles.

There are some points :

- Strenghen production in 0.0 multiplying the number of slots by 3-10
- Make the 0.0 bigger to give more room to small alliances.
