EVE General Discussion

So CCP have "balanced" incursions due to "risk vs isk" or thats the stand they will take on this, not going to go into details.

I have recently just been made aware of this "O-Tec" agreement between TEST, Raiden, CFC, PL, NCDot which basicaly means, who ever owns the tec moons currently will keep them. Now this simple agreement has completely removed the risk from owning such moons and therefore needs adressing.

The only reason incursions became relativly "risk free" was because of the awsome communitys made. THAT IS ALL

Now this o-tec agreement is in place, i think that should be nuked from orbit


This agreement effects 90% of the tech moons, how are new commers, the smaller corps/alliances ment to even get started?
Its things like this that put new people off and eventualy will be the death of the game

It's only so they can look at all the Tech in EVE in the Unified Inventory at the same time.
Unified Tech fits with the Unified expansion.

Bigger laughs.

CCP let everyone in Goonswarm keep the old inventory system.

Honestly, what compels people to post **** like this?

The fact that the entire eve comminty is full of hypocrites. Well the vast majority.

This whole game is about the rich staying rich and trying to opress and keep the poor new guys poor. Its rediculious, the game should have fair oportunitys for everyone not just the long term stayin's

You should really curb the shitposting, it's unbecoming.

Let me guess, you own a tech moon?

lol no

In the early days of incursions alot of ships were lost, and once they were sussed out not many people would run with unknown fleets..... why... because of the RISK

This is less of a Technium problem and more of a moon goo problem.

I have no problem with players coming together and creating something like OTECH. Eve is, after all, a sandbox and OTECH is a sand castle build out of Technium. Actually, I'm surprised someone hasn't done this sooner.

That being said, I object to the conditions that allow OTECH to exist:

1) Moon goo is only obtainable via one faucet. This allows a few people to own all the buckets.

2) The pervasiveness of Technium. This is CCPs fault as they built the game to require so much of it.

3) Moon goo income is a top-down income source. Unfortunately, this is really the only income source Alliances currently have. That won't change until CCP changes how Alliances make money.

Anyone could do this to any of the moon goo sources. It's not specifically restricted to Technium. It's just that Technium is the most valuable. So in order to do away with OTECH, or the possibility of OTECH-like entities to exist, a few things need to happen:

1) Change how Alliances make money. Bottom up automated member taxes, 'rent' in the form of automated fees (kind of like Station rental bills).
2) Once that is done, make moon goo obtainable from a variety of sources
3) change T2 blueprints so that the require a wider variety of resources to manufacture t2 goods.
