Jita Park Speakers Corner

I can't actually believe you live in 0.0 and and trying to BS another 0.0 resident that it isn't that "safe". I live their mate I know exactly how safe or unsafe it is.

Christ as long as you're not a total idiot it's perfectly safe, you want to move systems, use a scout, you want to rat, plan, keep an eye on Dscan and keep aligned.


Keep an eye on "LOCAL" know if your like me this is where you spend most of your time looking. *There's a big hint there somewhere.

If some fool in his officer fitted MACK want's to solo well that's his problem not mine.

All the arguments I'm seeing for local to stay just comes across as ratters and carebears
not wanting lose their precious plex ships.

It's a bit like when we lost SOV all of a sudden there's an influx of people leaving because of time-contraints, long lost relatives turning up, cash problems etc etc

All BS basically they can't rat anymore in complete safety do want to move. 0.0 is full of people who don;t want the stigma of living in high-sec but actually like the fact 0.0 is quite like high-sec without that stigma.

And the arguments you're seeing for local to go away just comes across as gankers who can't really hack it so they need all the help they can get.

I say tomaaatoe you say tomatoe etc etc. My reasons for removing local and bridging is not for ganking reasons as if I want to do that I'll just sit on a gate in low-sec but to bring the space and danger feeling back to 0.0

Null is safe if you're not an idiot yes, mostly safe, but in some situations, it's difficult to know whether or not someone might have done a logofski where you're at, It happens at times. My point was that it's not safe compared to highsec, which it isn't. Where yes, if you pay more attention, it's safer, but that's the tradeoff right there isn't it? More work, for more shiney, or you get blown up.

Do you think "use a scout" implies "is perfectly safe"? Do you think a JB actually lets people "avoid danger"? Do you think people like Frying Doom are in hisec and not nullsec because it's too safe in nullsec, and hisec is where the excitement and danger is at?

yes nullsec is a lot like hisec, only with cynos, capitals, supercapitals, bombs, bubbles, no aggression penalties, no concord, no gate/station guns, the risk of losing access to your assets and a maximum of one station in a given system

but nullsec has gates, stations and planets so it's a lot like hisec!

What I think is necessary to fuel 0-0 wars is the following, more or less. Modify it as you like, the main idea is "Easy to reinforce, easy to repair", thats all.

I hate structure wars.

It is boring and useless. In my vision, structures are there mainly to be drivers of conflict, magnets for battle. At the same time, repairing is even more boring. Nowadays boring your opponent to death is a valid tactic, but I see no future for it in the game.

What I propose is a system to promote battles, to make the battlefield more dynamic and perhaps, to reduce the size of blobs. Although the last one is improbable, as to wage war on a wide front, coordinately across several systems, is something out of reach for EVE players nowadays.

Firstly, increase triage Dreadnoughts damage against shields. Reinforcing should be something that takes five minutes, literally.

Forget about strontium timers. The owner sets the desired time for the end of the reinforce phase. The final time can be modified, chance based, plus/minus 12 hours max.

When the timer comes, the tower uses strontium to repair itself. After fifteen minutes the shield reaches 50% and the tower is not vulnerable. After another half an hour the tower reaches 100%. Carriers can be used to speed the repairs once the shield is above 50%. If the POS is attacked between 25% and 100% shield, the repairs freeze, so you can destroy it if it is below 50% or reinforce it again is it is above 50%. If no damage is inflicted for 1 minute, the restoration of the shield continues. The amount of strontium a tower can hold is just enough for one hour and a half of repairing. It can be replenished when the tower is reinforced, but not when the repairs are in progress.

With little variations, the same mechanics can be applied to stations, ihubs, TCUs and the like.

Unfortunately mate you obviously believe what you read, we only have 60. Not my fault I have EVE rich alliance mates.
As anyone will tell you I'd actually like all titans removed from game anyway but unfortunately when you only have 1000+ members fighting against another alliance that can bring 2 or 3 times that amount they are a very nice deterrent.

Its great how these no-local guys, once asked how nullsec can be too safe, start adding caveats about d-scan, watching local, using scouts (which means paying for another account) and not being stupid (meaning they put some times and effort into getting educated).

And all this should be thrown out the window, for what? So some solo stealth bomber guy doesn't have to bother probing down a wormhole? Because the people who put isk and effort into building their own space empire should live by some clown's opinion that all of nullsec must be utterly lawless and difficult? Turn the sandbox of null into some soulless "hard mode PvP arena" with no player content besides roaming gangs of covops?

And you guys do realize that with the perks covops have, they would become the only ship worth using in a local-less nullsec. And it would just be gangs of covops and recons, cloaked up and waiting for the last couple idiots that didn't realize the only thing worth doing in nullsec is sneaking around and ganking easy targets. Eventually the only action will be competing gate camping gangs getting into fights when they accidentally decloak each other.


No-local is such a stupid and shortsighted idea that does nothing to make nullsec any better outside of padding the K:D of stealth bomber pilots.

I think its funny, the very corps who ***** about Null sec being so empty are the ones fighting for the status quo.

The goons have shown quite well that they can abandon their space for a weekend with no reprocusions. Showing clearly that the Sov system must be changed. It is to hard to loose space and too hard to gain it.

Local needs to go. Its not just covert ops this would help but also covert cyno jumps not to mention raid gangs and anyone attempting to conqueror space.

Jump drives are too powerful and make it way to easy to gain access to the trade hubs and too easy to throw carries and titans at people for an easy win over a sub cap force.

Null is so boring and stagnant now, it has just become an isk farm for large corps and little more.

Now please feel free to complain how you like your nice safe Null sec and how changes where you have to fight to keep and hold turf is bad
