EVE General Discussion

it involves logging in more titans than the other guy?

It basically involves a cynojammer, bubbles and slowcats

I'm sure the highly knowledgeable NPC alt will tell us how that will change if local is removed

I have often though how interesting it would be for null-sov to have to build infrastructure to provide intel. The fights over the "local network" would be furious as the attacker tries to remove the huge advantage of the defender having local access while they do not.

I think it would work quite well. However as I understand it local can't be touched without huge changes to the code so it's off of the table.

"I make pizzas by throwing all the ingredients into a bowl and microwaving it. You don't know how to make a better pizza, therefore I make a really good pizza."

How might a restriction of Cyno/Bridging to intra-Constellation only affect this?

Edit: How might such a restriction change how Nullsec works?

This thread is:

- Unimaginative

- Unoriginal

- Badly explained

- Already made obsolete in the post that started it: "there is already space like this"

I say: trollpost

I would lke to state that my suggestion about local being available to the SOV holder was only to make a point about removing local completely.

Using SOV as the argument for removing local does not work. I believe the OP just wants to "feel safe" in null and be able to attack and harass players without being seen. So, basically reaping the benefits of NULL without having to actually take, maintain or pay for it.

I haven't thought through the ramifications of changing the availability of local enough to categoricaly support this idea. I was just pointing out the ignorance of the argument.

Local works because it does not discriminate. A 'defender only' local would turn null sec into SUPER bluesec where many many more people would be joining sov holding renter alliances to carebear.

Because SOV null's main isk making comes from anomalies (which spew liquid isk and no LP if you use an ESS), this means mountains and mountains of new liquid isk stuffing itself into the economy.

In short, the idea is WORSE than no local. No local slowly strangles the economy by reducing the overall numbers of ships/mods killed as PVe players leave for high sec (as happened with the comparatively minor nerf to anomalies in 2011). Defender only local would kill the EVE economy almost over night.

Alliances would have MORE incentive to hold space they don't use just to have local intel.

The above is what I'm talking about. It took my all of 15 seconds to pull apart the idea of defender only local, because the idea is so glaringly bad that it's easy to pull apart.

This is why CCP ignores most 'feedback', because it's usually coming from a bunch of know it all gamers who never made a single game lol.

Come play in Wspace if you want that. We also have no hotdrops.

He isn't, he's just saying that just because there's no known link between local and the strategic state of sov nullsec that doesn't mean that removing local isn't the cure for everything that ails the sov game

It's simple NPC alt logic
