EVE General Discussion

We did those guys a favor. There is no reason for "industrialists" to go to nullsec until CCP fixes industry and logistics in nullsec.

Want to repopulate nullsec? https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=22840 Would be a good start.

Many good ideas here.

Fail

It's a game. It's a game of internet spaceships. You get out of it what you put into it.

I'm not afraid of PvP. Quite the opposite. I simply don't have the time to commit to a PvP-oriented game than I would like to.

Two years in, and in a great high-sec corp, there's still a "learning cliff" aspect to it. I don't run many missions, I've tried (and melted) low-sec plexes because I'm bored with it. I'm not afraid of a PvP fight, I just don't necessarily seek one out (learning cliff) because after two years, I'm still figuring it all out.

That being said, I'm much less afraid of low-sec than I was a year ago. I just rolled "hard mode" so PvE is difficult enough as is. Loki is a great ship, but certainly no Tengu--and yeah I'm sure I'm "doing it wrong". Maelstrom rocks lvl 4's, but it's horrifically boring.

Quite bored with EvE at the moment. Love my corp, but bored of high-sec ****. I love our pvp roams into low-sec, but it's not a profitable "profession" full time. Never been to null-sec, but was within 1 jump once. Don't know anyone in null, and don't care to be anyone's "foot soldier".

WH space is fun...profits to be had, but you still have to keep on your toes. Tried it, liked it, spent 2 weeks in a Probe traveling around WH space just for the experience of it. It was great fun, and ironically enough, I ended up just a few jumps in High-sec from where I started--even after transversing a couple c5's.

Quite the "sandbox" when you're in a t3 you spent a lot of isk on, in low-sec, getting melted by full aggro in a 5/10 just trying to kill the two scramming frigs...all the while watching local and d-scan. As a "nub". Halfway through armor, aligned, and finally jumped out to safety. Hands are still shaking, and I think that's the point.

Pew Pew!

To repopulate null sec, in fact the whole game, CCP should roll the dice, go for broke, go all in, take the giant leap of faith, whatever you want to call it. Give the marketing team and investors a coronary.

Reset the whole game.
Wipe out every asset in the game, leaving 100M/account.
Save everyone's SP of course.

Announce that TQ is the new Sisi for the next 6 months, and CCP will be testing all kinds of new ships/sov mechanics/whatever over that time, and then resetting the game to zero again at that time, so to give everyone a fair chance for the new game mechanics.

During that 6 months, the players will be key in testing these concepts like randomized locations of goo-bearing moons in both null and low, supercap capabilities, new corp/alliance mechanics, limitations on sizes of corps/alliances, time dilation/lag, or whatever things CCP would like to change but can't because of the legacy game structure.

Would they lose subs? A ton.
Would they lose enough to kill the game? Maybe, but I doubt it.
Would they gain all of them back and many more once the game mechanics have been fixed and given everyone a fair shot at null sec, where the wealth is more evenly distributed throughout the regions, and that wealth is transient as the moon-goo/PI/quality of rats depletes in every area and moves on to a new system.

And if that is too radical, how about this:
Variable sec status. As a system is tamed with more POS's, ratting, mining, PI, pilot traverses, the system's sec status improves, lowering the quality of the rats, PI, etc.

Systems that are quiet, because they are crappy, would slowly lose sec status, improving the rat quality, increasing the PI quality, and maybe increasing the chance of a goo appearing at a moon in that system.

And incorporate this in any system in the game. Even Jita. If people stop working/traversing a system, then its sec status drops. If it is heavily worked, it increases.

No system in Eve would remain wealthy. No alliance could stay in one place and accumulate riches. People would spread out across Eve.

My pennie's worth.

Before you start ranting, no I have not been ganked or blobbed and this is in no way a moanpost.

1. Remove Blobs from the game, totally and completely. This will force better Pvp, it will change the way ships must be fitted in order to enter combat and win and survive.
2. Allow all ships to travel everywhere in Eve. Whether it's a Titan or a 'nyx - any and all ships should be allowed everywhere in Eve. Let CONCORD take care of offenders as determined by the level of security in the space at the time. I find it so disappointing that Eve being an open Universe, certain ships are restricted as to where they can fly to. it simply makes no sense and severely breaks the game.
3. Put a mechanic in place which prevents fleet warfare (in fact, ANY fighting) anywhere within 5000Km's from a station in Highsec 0.6 through to 1.0
4. Make 0.0 through 0.5 Lowsec. Allow fleet battles there, no restrictions.
5. See point 1 - remove blobs, these have killed the real interactivity of the game.
6. Remove warp disruptor modules. The only ships which should be allowed to use these should be Interdictors - the current game mechanics have all but killed their role. (See point 1)
7. The Custom office update is a very good step in the right direction - loads of positive knock-on effects from that for sure.
8. This to me is so important - see point 2. Allow all ships everywhere.
9. Introduce random events in Nullsec - (x) number of player ships in an area could potentially trigger an NPC counterforce. This would be a function handed to the players in which they would flag themselves (individually or fleet) as "available for intervention". Timers could be introduced to control how many times per hour an individual or fleet could use this flag. In other words, the players could determine, within bounds, when and where they wanted some pew pew action. Do this for Nullsec only. I am not talking Incursions here, this is a totally different dynamic intended to attract players to Nullsec, to make it more dynamic.

That's enough of a wall, for whatever it's worth.

Peace out.

What would lure me into nullsec?

Log in any time. Have assured fun. Log off any time. Repeat.

Exactly why I stay in hisec. It's not glamourous, but I have fun almost every time I log in and I can log off when i need/choose/please to. Which is more than what nullsec dwellers can claim.

Nullsec is boring and time comsuming. Nullsec is a chore.

And I am here for the fun.

You need more emoticons.

I go to null about once a month. Plus side is that I never have to worry about flying back to my home station.


I would never live in 0.0, because my survivability there is rather poor. I prefer whs.
