EVE General Discussion

This isn't Star Wars. The economy of Star Wars never came into play, thus all the satire you see on YouTube concerning building Death Star Mk II. Quite frankly, had the Emperor used GSF tactics, the Rebellion would have been a cloud of discombobulated atoms free floating in space. Star Wars was for entertainment purposes only, not a How-To guide to fighting wars. Anyone who uses it as such...well...let's just say that I would have no pity for them as they got their ticket punched repeatedly.

I agree that GSF should NOT have anything taken from them that they already possess, it is their possessions, they did whatever they did to put it in their hangars and wallets, and ships. If CCP were to go and take the material and Isk made from it, they would be violating the spirit of Eve Online. Anyone who loves the game would fight against such an extreme action, no matter your loyalties or alliegances. Anyone who did not fight to stop something like that from happening would deserve to have it happen to them too.

That being said, I believe that Tech should be removed from the game, with nothing taking its place at all. As tinfoil-y as what the OP says really sounds, there are some valid points being made. The unadulterated amount of money, coupled with the combat doctrine and pure firepower that the GSF possesses would make dislodging them close to impossible on any timetable measured in less than years. It can be done, do not mistake what I am saying. The only expedient route would be an internal strife ending with the total dissolution of GSF and it's satellite corps/alliances. Otherwise, someone is going to have to want what they have more than they do.

I stand on the GSF's side of the line on this though. If CCP tried to take their money and material, that would be a violation of the game and the players. Quite frankly, OP, you should be ashamed to have even suggested that CCP take anything from them, let alone an amount that they might consider reasonable. The only reasonable amount is zero.

All of them.

You know I have always wondered what's the renter income like down in the south? It's not insignificant. Maybe not quite as good as tech but it's still good. If only your leaders weren't wasting that income on poorly FC'd T3 fleets or personal super capitals, your quality of life down there might be better.

Just sayin

Last available numbers, EvE's up more than 10k Subs from December. 361k in May vs 350k in December.

This right here is the key sticking point. All these people who are demanding a tech nerf because they don't have any pretty much don't love eve.

Meanwhile, the people who do have Tech who have been demanding from the start that Tech needs to be fixed probably love eve and want to see it grow.

Edit: Also, the people who are whining about tech just want to have it for themselves, whereas the people who have tech want everyone to be able to have it.

Income really doesn't win a war, dude. It can help, or make things easier, but you can win a war with a minimum of funds if you are smart.

But Goons started in the game with Supercaps and Tech Moons. They certainly didn't start with Rifters and a few friends.

Hahaha. Please keep coming with these replies. They are golden!

I like how you downplay the importance of people actually logging in and getting in fleet and waiting for hours for a fight that never happens, and then log in the next day and do it all over again. Money is meaningless without a fleet to back it up.

But they're breaking our morale, what will our isk for for us then?

Didn't the GSF lose Delve due to money problems?
