EVE General Discussion

I just thought i'd get a discussion going on how you could possibly fix 0.0 so that smaller alliances could get out and take on the bigger alliances for their sov.

The blob has always caused the lag issues and node crashes, for which you gave us TIDI. The outcome of all battles will be decided on who has the most numbers in system. But what about the smaller alliances in game, how do they get a foothold in 0.0 to grow their alliances ?

Fleets have a maximum number, and i think that should be all that you are allowed to bring to the fight. 250 vs 250 in a system would reduce TIDI and probably the stress load on the sever, plus fights would come down to skills and FC's abilities. Just imagine going into fights knowing that your 5 years of skill training and pvp experience will have some sort of outcome on a fight rather than it being who has the greater number of pilots.

Give the minnows and skill based pvp a chance please.

I think Sov killed 0.0, all it did was create bigger corp/alliances.

Small alliances in 0.0? You could always take over systems nobody else wants or pay a large alliance to stay there.

Limit movement, and limit power projection. Make it harder for groups to control large areas and make it harder for people to give support far away.

Its easy just remove the profits that have previously been made by tech moons and listen to them scream all over 0.0 how they are all suddenly broke.

I will state this is a joke as some people do not seem to be able to get those here.

Just negotiate with an already established alliance to live in their area and prove yourself useful, then when you have earned their trust negotiate your own system (or help them win the land for you to live in).

Realistically in EVE as in real life politics you need friends on the international stage or you'll struggle to get anything done. Swallow your pride and cozy up to a "big" alliance while you establish yourself as a nullsec alliance.

Why should small alliances be able to take on larger ones?

This^^, sov null is where the big fights take place, go big or go home.

If you and your tiny corp want your own little slice of space to call home try wormholes, the mechanics favor smaller, tight knit entities and is at least as profitable if not moreso than nullsec. If you dont care about holding a system try NPC nullsec, its far more small gang friendly than sov null.

Because in nearly any other game, or even in RL, an entity must deal with things like Line of Sight, Area of Effect weapons, and much better guerrilla warfare tactics than are available in Eve. When the game is actually out of beta, and these things are fleshed out, you will see the blob fade.

Hahaha.

So magically adding a person makes you weaker? Sure.

You can't turn off gates unless you find an artifact on an archaeological dig site that can do it
