EVE General Discussion

HighSec factories can and in fact are attacked, there is a little diference in relations to Null, they get destroyed, not like the null stations, so you are partly correct, they cannot be captured.

HighSec ships empty or otherwise full are being caught in transit and destroyed, there's a little difference here also, unlike in Null, there is not a failsafe warning system in HS, in Null you get to check who is blue and what not...

to better reply to what you have written above, check below quote.

there are nations, there are not magical npc guards
there are, in fact, vibrant markets (vfk) but because 0.0 industry is broken they are not vibrant markets
you can easily import to them if you have friends and can deal with the risk

you basically just want the game to hold your hand and protect you from any and all risk so you can do the same thing you do in highsec in something with a different name

No.



Yes, and scores of other people would like to do the same.

uh if you do any manufacturing in empire not in a station you're just dumb; the amount of risk-free cost-free open manufacturing slots in empire is staggeringly huge and there is no reason to use a pos ever

plus it's only in the last few months you could even attack a pos if the owner wasn't an idiot

Hey, if you are so masochistic to want to play 24/7 like an NPC, be my guest!

I manage to do my thing without doing that: it was your lack of imagination that lead you to do something as foolish as camp your own gates for hours at a time

intel channels+scout+paying attention

you didn't adapt, and you got crushed in response

in addition to fuel and r8/r32 moon minerals which are regional and therefore 3/4ths will be absolutely unavalible, there is no reasonable source of lowend materials in 0.0

now granted, you're going to say something dumb like "but there are veldspar rocks hyuk hyuk" but nobody is going to do that because a)everything else in 0.0 pays better than mining veldspar and b)if you want to mine veldspar you can do it in near-perfect safety in a 1.0 system

therefore, nobody will do it. and nobody ever has, in like a decade

previously you could live in the drone regions: as the only 0.0 with trit, it was unsuprisingly the only one with significant industry

doesn't exist, now nowhere in 0.0 has trit

Of course., what is very telling is the fact that not one dev has commented in this thread.
They comment on any thread under the sun, but when there is a discussion about wiping out a massive amount of ISK from the majority of their players, they are strangely silent.

CCP could end all this speculation in an instant by saying "no, we are not touching high sec industry", or "yeah, we plan on hammering high sec industry as soon as we have put the finishing touches on a massive nerf to high sec PvE".

But no, they choose to remain silent and let the null sec propagandists attack and post lie after lie after lie.
Null sec zealots just can't get their heads around the fact that manufacturing caps, supercaps, and other ships is one huge industry. Test and goons both have a T1 ship replacement policy, so they can't be having too much difficulty getting ships to their null sec people.

To someone who might be reading these forums for the first time, it would almost seem that the ISD and CCP are agreeing with the null sec zealot philosophy and letting them post anything they want.

But that would be impossible, since once called to CCP, the ISD and all devs immediately completely forget their roots in the game, all their allegiances, all their friends in game, and never, ever let their previous biases influence their moderation on these forums.

an alternative solution would have been a falcon alt and something that could instapop a dictor, so the freighter could escape (i saved my freighter once by beating on the ship that tried to tackle it until it bugged out years ago, for example)

i don't believe goons have camped their own gates routinely since syndicate over half a decade ago

High sec factories cannot be attacked and getting ganked while hauling in high sec is about as common as getting struck by lightning so long as you don't do something stupid like haul 30 billion in one go.
