EVE General Discussion

Why dont you start a crusade against them instead of whining?

I agree.

CCP should pass legislation to pressure the financial outlets of New Eden to make available outrageous low interest loans to these renter corps and alliances, so that they can purchase the pilots and infrastructure necessary to hold sov. After all, sov ownership is a fundamental right that should be available to everyone.

AFK cloaking will fix this.

Go take the sov, PL won't mind.

CCP did something about it, they nerfed moongoo value, so that systems were more valuable to empires as living quarters than they were as empty buffer space around very-important-towers (tm).

Why is it good for nullsec

(a) rise in population
(b) rise in corporation units that are sized for small gang warfare, that are not deployed to strategic objectives, and thus are not fleeted up in strategic sized units.

ie its likely that a good 5 man crew will get a fight or at least intercept some unwary traffic in Vale, without much fear that the CFC will order a cleanup on aisle 9 and eject you with 100 ships when you finally made someone angry by shooting the wrong afktar. In fact they only come when you start with the SBUs or their goo towers, they don't do local security.

One imagines that careful observations of NA regions would also locate regions that provide content for small gangs.

I do think this is an intermediate phase for the game, a phase where the average bear has the opportunity to lose his or her fear of null, and if you are a risk averse highsec bear, this may be the best time ever to try nullsec life.

well i wouldnt expect a massive alliance/coalition to have a small renting alliance. They kinda grow in proportion to their landlord, seeing as how they are responsible for defending that space.

On the other hand, small gang warfare is irrelevant to the bigger picture. A coalition doesn't collapse because some ratters got blown up or because they lost roaming gangs to gate camps or logoff traps.

0.0 has greater access, sure, but not many people want to play feudalism in space other than botters, independent supercapital builders and multiboxing ratters.

The problem here is called power creep. The problem with "fixing" that is, it's not one single change that is required. You need a whole series of changes in order to manage/stop power creep after a certain point in order to prevent it from becoming a major pain in the arse. Sov mechanics, power projection and ease of logistics are only three of the many things that need to change but a huge set of changes in that direction is very unlikely. Just look at the massive outcry over the recent JF changes, which could have tackled the ease of logistics issue. In the end it didn't really do anything and there is still a massive amount of whining and raging because of it.

How can you fight alliances with trillions of isk that grows by tens if not hundreds of billions of isk a week and no short supply of supercarriers and titans without supers and titans of your own?


You don't.

Unless CCP changes the way 0.0 and SOV operates (I don't see how because the whole system of renting is done OOG) then the way 0.0 is, is the way it will always be.

And what is ccp's rush to change things? Most if not all of the employees of CCP are members of said overload alliances. Why would they ruin their income?
