What this guy said.

+ you can get all the tech you want, you just need to fight for it, if you don't for whatever reason then it's not a CCP problem but yours.

Just to query, there is a realistic chance of this happening?
Not one of those, assuming you get sufficiently large group of people things or the Goons decide to let you have it for a few months then take it all back over night?

Frankly a really rubish answer -1

That is like saying that as Hi-sec has a better risk vs reward than Null all the pilots not getting rich from welfare payouts should just move to Null and not complain about Null being broken because the better payout with less risk is there for the taking.

As the crap risk vs reward is a broken mechanic just like tech and moon mining in general. Players should not live off corps (or CCP handouts) the corps should live because of the players.

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

Thank you for your constructive appreciation, however I would like you to answer a couple questions, if you please:

1-who or what is making so you can't take over a couple of those tech moons and systems?
*inability to attract players and recruit
*inability to find decent reimbursement programs so your grunts don't have to take it all from their pockets to defend YOUR & YOUR FRIENDS tràlàlà wallet
*inability to cooperate with other corporations, alliances without backstabbing each other

2-why should CCP handle your hand and give you for free what you can't afford?

3-what is preventing you from cooperation with those, despite getting spanked several times, are still over there and fight for their space? (props to these because fun playing it's better than forum crying about tech)

4-why do you need tech to live in null or have systems over there?

Question
Why CFC fleets just getting started are already full and guys moaning/yelling at FC's to create more slots/fleets?

I will not get in to boring details but I guess the simple fact of rewarding your grunts helps a little bit, you don't have to throw isk at their face but a proper, clean and decent reimbursement program will always and for years to come be the best attractive point to whatever player loving pvp.

Secondly I guess it's a matter of FC'ing too, and some FC's should simply remember they're playing pixels in space with people and not alone with bots, therefore some respect is required from these.

It is possible to fight back against those pesky players, just requires some guys dedication for a decent, proper, clean organisation and respect for their player members.
Anyone liking pvp at least once a week will always show up if he knows he's defending his own in game interests on the short&long run, but don't expect them to be that interested if the only thing those are good for is to fill alliance leaders/fc's wallet to fly with over pimp ships and give lessons on how to make isk in eve.

Just an opinion.

I will answer the first bit for you. Just because there is a dole payment does not mean I want to be unemployed, just like here there is a welfare payment from CCP but I wouldn't want to be a blobber to have to get it.

Sergeant Acht Scultz wrote:

Is that a question for me? As CCP seems to be giving the free hand outs to Null or have they suddenly put tech moons in lo-sec or wormholes?

Well besides blob warfare being 1 step above drooling, how about the fact that the welfare payouts have been so large that the alliance involved actually has enough cash to just throw thousands of ship away and just not care, while those without welfare must work for their cash.
Sergeant Acht Scultz wrote:
4-why do you need tech to live in null or have systems over there?

You mean besides a) why would you bother Null is broken or b) having an alliance with an inexhaustible number of ships requires that the conquest occur from the inside as no one will now conquer them externally, thank you welfare.

Goons didn't take their space in the first place. It was a gift from another alliance. If you think about it, Goons haven't beaten a large alliance in EVE using space ships... ever. It's always about meta gaming them, or some other form of meta gaming that they had no part in but took benefits from.

As for tech, it has dropped. 60K was the lowest Tech ever was. It's at 79 now.

I'll answer to you the obvious to this first part, it's a choice you made by yourself, therefore that choice has consequences and you have to assume them. But I understand it's far easier to call it "blobber warfare".

Now, I've got good news for you: there is tech in low sec but not in wh's. You can therefore fight for low sec tech without being a blobber, but once again it's your choice, no one is or will take decisions for you nor is or will assume consequences for you.

The choice is there, you either take it or leave it.
I'm not saying tech as it is implemented is the best way to do it, hell no, goons were the first ones to claim this for years and were joked about by those crying today.
But first things first, no one complained up until now, so where's the real problem? -tech, those holding it, those unable to take it back/get it or simply the way null sec mechanics are made of?
It's not players fault for playing the game the way it's intended, but it's players fault for not using or being unable to use the same in game tools to succeed, and I guess this is the point where we disagree.

The fact there needs to be something worth to fight for in null is undeniable, the way and what, that is another discussion way beyond my or your gaming knowledge but we can and should have an opinion about this, however point fingers at players playing the game the way it's intended it's calling the bad target.

I think I've answered completely to your different statements and think I'm being constructive/polite, but please be my guest to correct me if I'm wrong.

Ok out of all that the thing I will answer is that a lot of people have complained about tech before now or did CCP bring in alchemy out of the goodness of its heart.. Oh and just to point out how wrong you are about that Goonswarm has actually been complaining about it since before it was introduced.

As to lo-sec, what system is it in?

Yes goonswarm are taking advantage, that is just human nature but that still does not make it any less of a crappy mechanic.
As I said it is CCP sponsored welfare for Null.

Are you serious? Even the might of NC. Evoke, Black Legion and Nulli (which I may add are LONG TERM major pvp alliances) COULD NOT STOP CFC taking all the tech moons and tribute and vale. So please stop spouting complete and utter trash. Im sorry but quotes like this seriously annoy me.

Yes, Goons were gifted Deklien, but in all fairness they reciprocated, Razor, FA, & others got space & Tec moons of their own after space was taken not as renters but as co-allies, not bad at all compared to others in the past. Gotta give them atleat some credit.

You know a lot of eve is about the meta game right?

The single biggest advantage a new player can possibly get is knowing the right people from the start.

You can buy a 100mil sp character, read all the guides you can find, buy isk, fly the most expensive ships out there and nothing will amount the advantage that just knowing 1 or 2 people in the right places will give you.

So, to get back on the track, the problem is Goonswarm, CFC, PL, NC, EVOKE etc or game mechanic? -we're getting to the point you'll finally admit it's the game mechanic, the fact CFC works and get their objectives is by no means game exploit but intended game play.
Now what about changing this sterile discussion in to something more positive like providing feedback to CCP on dedicated thread so they can figure out what and how implement something worth to fight for?

As for low sec: schhhh I know a couple of these but if I tell you I have to kill you Blink

-a little scan of systems under -3 will provide you all the information you need, I know it's tedious as hell but you can also check it out with Dotland

Ok scratch head time

I have always said it is a CCP welfare program for Null.

I missed anywhere, where I said CFC, PL, NC ect.. were the problem.

The mechanic has created a problem in allowing Goonswarm to become so rich that losses in a war will only ever matter on a moral side and not a financial side.

As to the solution well mine personally is get rid of moon mining, I don't like passive income that players only have to assist every few weeks or top down financing for corporations.

I used to like the idea of ring mining as a multiplayer required mining op, but now that seems to have developed into a gun mining fiasco..Incursion style.

Where did you get this idea that null sec ISN'T bout groups as large as the GSF? The CFC isn'g GSF, entire alliances made up of individual corps need to maintain working relationships in order for the CFC or any coalition to survive; that's PLAYERS WORKING TOGETHER IN NULL SEC.

Your ****** little corp, a part of just as crappy and little an alliance, isn't an EMPIRE.
CCP states null as being the place were PLAYERS build EMPIRES. Not guild housing.


The problem isn't mechanics, it's rediculous player expectation. If you think that null sec is there for little groups of people to "fight" their way into control of space, then you're doing it wrong.


Null sec is supposed to mirror NPC contoled high sec, but run by the players. CCP didn't make it possible to rercuit thousands of people into a single corp, and then connect that corp to multiple other corp of thousands of people so that a few dozen can do what several thousand can.

Stupidity apparently has no limit, because I see people crying about other people doing exactly what CCP wants them to do. If that's not stupid, then I'm to stupid to know what stupid is.
