There are a few of us who live this way. Not in frigates, but in ships that can pay our bills along the way. No alliances. No home systems. Always roaming, even in "owned" space.

The "spiders web" you reference isn't. Choke points and gate camps can be navigated, without jump drives, by the experienced.

You're not going to "unhinge" much with this experiment. It's been done for years. You'll get some folks grumpy. They might even bait you with insults in local.

look people want all the benefits of high sec in terms of money making without everpresent concord in case they want to shoot things

what they want is utopia,eve was desinged to be cold,harsh,unbalanced,unfair place with god giving you middle finger every time you log in

its unfair to shoot defenseless miner the same way its unfair to make more money in high sec

it was designed that way,it doesnt make sense and it doesnt have to make sense because nobody gave out rights to players

you have no right,you are on your own,nobody cares and nothing will change

pay your 15 bucks and stfu





Dude, why do you want to shoot me?

The best time to shoot someone is when they are helpless.

But seriously, it's unfair we have to put up with so much competition from industry-only type players. So we make it more fair by culling them to acceptable levels. Those that don't like it are free to stop us at any time.

The strong will do what they will, while the weak will suffer what they must.

This is not their fault. This is the fault of how it's designed. Yes, I have only spent a small amount of time in Null, but I read... I pay attention. I've been playing this game for years off and on and I've read post after post after post about high vs null space from BOTH sides. I don't know what half the acronyms mean that are used and I'm afraid to ask because the moment I do, I'll get a bunch of ass-hats telling me to learn how to play. But I do know the layouts and workings of null. And I know why people go there and I know why other people don't.



You should spend some more time in null. Do your frigate idea and set your destination for UJY-HE. You'll find that you won't agitate that many people because it is mostly empty. If you can fly something with a covops cloak you can pretty much go where ever you want.

The part that's a bit scary is that this is correct.

If you can make it past the Lowsec and Nullsec borders in a rifter you can muck about in nullsec for quite a while without running into anyone. If you can fly a stealth bomber, you can pretty much play as you please as long as you watch the map and avoid crowds.

They will wait until you are exactly 150km away and "Warp To" you. Standard doctrine, in fact. I learned that from watching the can-baiters of old. Always see cans laying about and some douchebag parked exactly 150km from it. I would target their cans and hit "orbit at 500m" and go make some Ramen. Come back ten minutes later, leave, carry on with whatever I was doing. Probably drove them nuts.

I liked the rest of your post, btw.

Eve should be less like Eve and more like this other game that I play because I'm more familiar with that other game.

Pro argument. I'm convinced.

The only problem EVE is becoming like other games. CCP has adopted the theme park mindset inorder to increase sub numbers and I dont mean alt #'s.

Pro Troll. I'm convinced.

i dont understand the issue really.
everyone complains in eve no matter where they live in the universe.
Its because everyone wants their gameplay improved,and i doubt you actually need someone to tell you that its, not rocket surgery.

Nullsec has its grinding like all of eve has,you do the ctas you align and you do the zombie stuff for your fc.
you grind whatever you grind for income so you can replace your ships and play around with stuff.

eve sov is currently somewhat broken,and its a good thing its so obvious because ccp cant ignore it.

its no easy fix or we would probably already have it implemented ,but people are lazy and try to promote easy fixes anyway because thinking is hard.

nullsec has more then just the commonly stated stuff like sov an structure grinds and being f1 zombie.

You got small scale pvp if you actually go look for it, you also got professions like hotdrops, blackops and being able to luanch bubbels and bombs.

The safety in null is the safety you and your corp/alliance provide for eachother, you cant keep what you dont fight for...this is often ignored from people raging/crying about null is to safe.
Its actuall people who report and keep intel channels going that creates the safety.
I also injoy the fact that people in null will undock with you to go hunt some dude trying to kill your allies/buddies.

There is also the drama in null you dont find in highsec,the trolling is also pretty good.
There is also the awoxers,the blu guy in local is always the next probable awoxer/spy/bastard that will gank you/others.

Still...i dont see the issue of highsec vs null ...sounds like brainfart trolling and not really a problem, i hardly think neither regions cares very much what ppl on either side of the border is doing.

I live in null because its a simpler life,its not harder or easier really its just simpler since it has removed npc intervention of things and i can act myself freely.

It boils down a group of players becoming upset over another group of players having more fun than they are.

OP has a point some people put way too much emphasis on getting a kill mail. had a recruiter lead in with what an impressive kill history his corp had. I like PVP, but I don't play games for an email that says I blewt someone up.

The reasons are innumerable but to be honest? I enjoy the story. What drew me into Eve was the stories of the great wars between mighty alliances destroying what amounts to thousands of dollars of real world money (If one were to plex). I enjoy the internal narrative of each alliance insisting they are good and the others evil. I like to see empires rise and crumble. I love the clash of personalities. I live and breath for the complex politics, the backstabs, betrayals and also the lasting friendships that form. Lets face it, unlike faction war, or mission running we're the only ones that have a complex and interesting storyline with interesting characters, some evil, some good.

I like to shoot people. I like to take what they had from them and give it to a three day old newbie I have trailing me around. I'm Robin Hood with a bubble and a cloaking device.

Most of all I like to tell stories. As many of you well know goons permeate pretty much every MMO community. I've played with Goons in STO. I've played with Goons in The Secret World, I've played with Goons in Guild Wars II. And almost every single time I hop in mumble/teamspeak/whatever the next goon guild I join uses and we get to talking about MMO's in general, at least a half dozen of them have some great story from when they played Eve online. No one gives a **** about the 347th Onyxia kill and how oooh wow the gun dropped this time. But people remember the fall of Delve.

Hell half of these people hate this stupid game. They hate how the skill queue works. They hate how PVP basically amounts to collating a spreadsheet. They hate the unending structure grinds, pos mechanics, mining, ratting, they hate the bombastic assholes that are in charge of GSF (One famous saying known to goons is "Goons will be free when the last director is strangled with the entrails of the last moderator"). But they love their stories. They cherish them and hold on to them, and they love to tell them to people who have never even heard of this game.

Why do I live in nullsec? Because blowing up mission rat number 387 so I can fit my ship to blow up number 388 a little bit faster is about as compelling as whacking my balls between a pair of bricks.
