Renters are paying for the stability and protection. And like Arrendis said, there's an element of value at play. 10 billion ISK a month is worth different things to different people.

It looks like most of your PvP chaps are already in hisec!

There is no issue with Goons, they have a great location and should easily deal with this, the good space is going to be kept by the big boys and big fights will happen around them. Its all that unused space that will see some changes as existing groups pull back to what really matters and what they can hold onto.

In the poor systems you will find system with no sov claimed, ninja POS's, then a death star next to a TCU, lets see a Trollceptor do that with a T1 Entosis Link, does anyone think their comments through?

TZ issues, well I can get friends to help me or even hire mercs, if I was a merc I would be looking at this thinking perhaps in 0.0 we can make ISK on people who want help claiming systems, WH's for the win... There will be a need for different TZ groups if you want to be on the offensive, I think AU TZ people are going to become very valuable. The TZ issue is not really an issue, as there will be entities with different vulnerabilities all over the place.

One of my friends suggested that use of systems improves its truesec to a max of -0.3 and of course capped to -1.0 and I really think that is a good idea, because while I disagree with people saying level 4's in hisec are better I do hear their point of view and accept that null does need buffing in terms of income.

Oh and please for the love of Eve give back anomalies that need to be scanned down for miners.

I noticed someone trying to make it so expensive, like put the Entosis link in a Marauder or something like that, or make it cost 500m well how the hell can the small entity keep at a guerilla war for space a bigger entity does not really want if I keep having to wear them down with bling kills, that really had to come from a FA player fat with moon goo, facepalm...

It's mutually beneficial. Mutually symbiotic. Whatever. Large groups are employing themselves as protection-for-hire, and renters are employing themselves as industrialists or miners.

The ownership of the space is switched from the irl arrangement of hired security, but that's the only difference, and it's required by the game mechanics for the relationship to exist.

There are other groups who more closely resemble hired security, who don't own the space they fight in, but both arrangements operate under the same basic principle. It's incorrect to vilify sov-holding hired security over the other type.

I'm troubled by that too. Like the population one, i know I contributed to that because I moved 2 cyno alts into null so I could move loot with my Panther now that the Archon got nerfed (lol). More characters in null doesn't mean a healthier null, it means for some reason their are more characters there.

It guarantees / means that balance decisions are out of touch.

Erm I actually really like the fact that my relatively small corp is made up from people across 4 continents. The whole one shard for the whole game is a selling point for EVE. Forcing stupid time zone mechanics on people and telling them to find new people to play with if they don't like it is kinda dumb.

This is the general misunderstanding. Null income isn't too low. It's too low to be worth the effort, too low to use yourself so you rent it out to people with lower standards of income while you do other things like blitzing lvl 5 missions or running faction warfare alts or running a high sec mission farm or blitzing high sec regular or burner missions or things like this in low sec with cheap Attack Battlecrusiers.

I can go to null and make 90 mil an hour with a Rattlesnake ratting anoms that is in danger from roaming gangs and wormhole raiders or I can a whopping 4 mil less per hour and stay in the safety of high sec. My 5 bil isk Vindicator I use for high sec incursions makes WAY more than 90mil per hour btw.

And here I thought 0.0 was full of risk....

Countered by even more ceptors, or just leaving that system and spamming the ones around it.

This will not turn out how you think it will lol.

Under the current proposed changes, breaking their locks will only do them the favor of allowing remote assistance.
