EVE General Discussion

main reason is super coalitions that killed of lots of small alliances for lulz to claim marginal space and then promptly dosnt use it other than for epeen

that's basically the jest of it. It's funny because when those super coalitions were founded they were all about the straight up fight, but once they got space their ego exploded.

I'm looking forward to the day that a mechanic is changed that will break down these coalitions. Back in the day it used to be alliance vs alliance.

Now it's alliance vs alliance,alliance,alliance,alliance, etc.

Anyone who actually has ever interacted with Goonswarm understand why the idea of them doing anything in pink thongs is disgusting.


Also the last person to be commenting on Null Sec issues is the guy who's a a member of an Alliance that only keeps it's space because it's so worthless no-one else wants to invade it and IRC can be trusted to form up and welp their terrible fit ships every time you go into their space.

While we're at it, back in the day people used to travel instead of sitting at a Titan bridge all day. That was back when the universe was still black and white.

Then came handholding and easymode so the bears could roam freely and harvest al dat goo. There's a reason after all why people call 00 more safe than highsec in a lot of aspects.

There's nothing really that nullsec does better than WH or lowsec these days.

Sorry for possible doublepost here but this and the general risk adverse attitude of the coalitions in question. People ran from fights back in the day too but it was nowhere near what it's like today. People actually preferd sh*t hitting the fan over looking at the fans in the caldari ship hangar.

Atleast IRC has big enough balls to not go along with the fashion trend and want to be blue to every single alliance/corp/person/asteroid belt in the game.

We form up and we fight, even out numbered and still fight for an area that has 0 tech moons or cobalt.

You have to hide behind the facade of a massive coalition to do anything, if your alliance went toe to toe vs another out right, you'd get curb stomped. That's why yall batphone every single person in the coalition if a person outnumbers you even by 1 pilot so you can bring in double to 10 times the number.

So take your meaningless epeen bs and stick right up where the sun don't shine and grow a pair. Until then, you are just apart of the blue ballin masses fartin about the space making comments about nullsec when you yourself don't do jack crap for it.

The OP is technically correct, since "sec" is an abbreviation, not a word.

Yes there was a much higher % of players mooching about in null before sov mechanics, bubbles and jump freighters were introduced into the game.

Most anyone and everyone used to run the pipes from time to time because the opportunities (mining, ratting and a target-rich environment) were more than enough to tempt most people in, and getting your proceeds back out into empire space in a bog standard indy whilst flying solo was something anyone could achieve, with a bit of skill, a dose of good luck and a steady hand when the adrenaline kicked in.

Ahhh the good old days.... of course the game has improved a hell of a lot since then, but in the process it has lost much of the raw-ness and become more complex and sophisticated, which does not suit everyone.

why null is empty?

have ever stepped intoa bus and all the seats are taken except one,problem is its a 1 metric ton fat guy with pizza all over his shirt that has holes in it with half his gut sticking out on the other seat and he is so fat he actually takes up 1 1/2 seats.


now...you have a choice are you gonna try and cram youself into that half seat and get his elbow in the back and generally feel super akward and silly?

Or just stand up the entire ride?


The fat guy is HBC and Goons.

The half seat is the crappy space you can take in null.


fakeedit: no problem is there no leaders to get behind to form a counterblock, some space is also useless and you dont do effort of building stations just because its so fun.

But the true answer is because there is less people in null,because the *** guy took the seat and nobody wants to ride the bus.

Some people say they need to nerf the bus to solve the problem like removing internal lights and windows and maybe som seats and tun off the heating.
Yeah theat should work.

Ain't that the truth. When i was new in 2007 I got into a mission running corp and they kept talking about how evil null sec was, how if you go there your ship will magically vaporize, how you become a slave, how it's so bad that if you lose 10 ships in a 2 day period, Icleandic Special Forces Commandos will come to your house and make you eat disgusting fish based dishes etc etc.

Then I actually went to null after a few months puttering around in FW and I'm all like "where is all the fish i was promised?".
