delete forum posting privilege for npc corps

God forbid there is empty space in a space game.

No, I can actually have at times a system to myself like I did in 2009 and while that makes you sad as you have to work for getting your fights, such a shame that, I love it as I can do more before the inevitable loser turns up to cloak up for a while before getting bored and going elsewhere.

The trick in this game is simple, find naff NPC 0.0 space, set up there with a ton of assets, build up a coalition of like minded people and prey on bling fitted mission runners in that NPC region, stop when they have taken too many losses so they replenish and use the naff system you are in to further develop your situation, when they have replenished their coffers then go harvest some more bling fits. Its rather fun, and the bling fits are from a nearby predatory 0.0 alliance that deserves this in a major way.

Every one of their bling fits that dies to my corp and my allies is payback for the number of times these people cloaky camped me, I am loving it greatly...

Have you considered a possibility to create new smuggler gate connections?
I already posted this multiple times - regions that are directly connected to lowsec have always something happening , but those edge ones are place where most of the players are dying.

Simple example , from my own yard.
Stain , gigantic NPC space is cut off from lowsec , like most regions connected to it.

Now if we could get a smuggler gate in a station-less system to lowsec , and in this system similar gates to systems in regions like :
- esoteria
- paragon soul
- period basis
- impass
- feythabolis

etc
we could bring back life to all those regions.
There will be always some group camping those gates , like poeple trying to fly thru them.
New people could easily come to Stain and try to contest all those regions.

Space is not to big - simply map is obsolete after all changes made to the game.

This connections could imbalance the introduction of fatigue , but lets not forget that passing by a single gate can be tricky , people can slow down , and even when they will manage to pass the defenders line , carriers no longer can make multiple jumps fast.

We don't need less space , but more "smart" smugglers gate that will reintroduce conflict to the eve universe.
Current sov systems requires high population , and promotes high usage of the space, but at the same time , it is quite hard to get fast to your enemy.
20 jumps - this is like 15minutes , make 20 jumps back and you just spent half an hour on moving - now find someone to shoot at while you have only 1 hour daily when you can sit so long at your computer.

Important thing is not how long you play eve , but how long you can play without a brake.

Trust me 20jumps in nullsec is nothing, and this is close neighborhood.

Myself as well. Non static covert jump bridges. Beacon only shows and access only given if blue to the controlling npc faction. Blue/red standing from a combination of pirate and security. Want a highsec one? Need to be minimum five standing from average of your faction and security.

This isn't EvE of Warcraft, but...


...here's a ♫ la-la-la ♫ for you anyway.

The old boys are whining as to how they cannot counter small fast ships now dubbed "Trollceptors" and that sov is now frig combat. Woo hoo! Maybe time for them to focus on damage application instead of peak DPS. High track battleships ftw!

I agree a whole Milky Way with some 400 billion stars like in ED would be a bit too much for EvE, but I would love if new gates would bring access to actually many many new systems (sorry OP!).

More in numbers and more "hidden" than wormholes, where one could make his own base, and very long range jump bridge(s), and then hide that system again from others by destroying the gate that allowed access / exit there first, if fast enough...

Maybe even mixed with some time spent flying in warp between jump bridges (and system objects), that only those with bookmarks know, if seriously trying to hide that place.

Ow!!! MY EYES!!!!!!

Eve needs more space, not less. A lot more.
