Propaganda is often indistinguishable from PR. Before WWI, propaganda didn't have the negative connotations it does today. In fact, if you put aside your bias, you would find that even if this was propaganda, you might find some logic in it.

But I'm probably expecting too much from an Amarr... in GD... when I start talking about logic...

Being a fan of consensual PvP I will predict success for Star Citizen.

But only if the risk vs. reward is done right.

If and when there is an option to avoid PvP completely, it should be the least profitable option available.

Frankly, this is how EVE should also be, but it seems high sec is plenty profitable enough to give little incentive for the masses to try their hand at low or null.

The problem really is that lowsec and null are full of problems. Lots of people in hisec would like to use all the empty space in 0.0 but currently the only way to do that is to join an existing alliance. Not everyone wants to join one of the 5 big alliances just to experience 0.0, and that should be something CCP considers.

All they really have to do is design a 'sandbox' area similar to this which allows more people and different groups to all take part, and they have this beat.

This is getting dangerously close to sounding like something a Star Citizen would say.

Things are only impossible until they are not.

Want that 0.0 space? take it just like the present incumbents did.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

People shouldn't have to gather up thousands of other people just to claim one system in 0.0, which could never support them all.

Think of all the PvP, too, if all the empty space of 0.0 was filled with people.

As one guy said no one keeps a complete list of who is scamming in Jita at any given time. If you just use a different alt for a couple of weeks and don't intentionally make a name for yourself you won't suffer. Not only that but making a new character or needing to isn't a consequence. It is a business model CCP allows to exist for good or ill.


You can always try to scam the scamer. Every time i dock in Rens i get some mails with offers like "I move to Null and sell all my rigged faction ships for a discount price". Got a perfectly fine cruiser (can't remember what it was) for like 150k ISK once, friend of mine got a Megatron for 2M ISK. You don't have to be a genius to figure out how that works.

So there are consequences, if they don't pay attention. Have to admit something like that may only work with a few of the scams.

So much hate in this thread, mainly from the nullbears who think the only way to play is their way...

There are tons of people who do not like the way eve is and you can see SC is going to cater toward that playerbase, so then why is there so much hate?

Shouldn't you be happy that SC is going to help keep the so called "Carebears" placid in another universe?

I honestly think so of the idea's proposed by the dev's are quite good and cater toward my playstyle more then Eve does, so I will be trying it when it is released. Does that mean I will give up eve? Hell no, because I can keep my sub up with ISK there is no point for me to stop training skills.

I don't even know why most of you feel so hurt by that community that you have to post about it when in the end you where not going to leave Eve because it caters to your playstyle.

In the end there is nothing wrong with a company trying to cater toward a community that wants freedom and safety, instead of Eve's freedom and harshness.

Play EvE how you want to play it and do not let others dictate how you play. Evolve your playstyle to protect yourself from others! Even in "PVE", "PVP" is there, lurking in the shadows.

Why not? Think of 0.0 as a sovereign nation, why should they let you in to plunder their resources? The only way to get at those resources is via a military invasion or oodles of cash, pretty much the way it works in the real world (unless you're a small island off of mainland Europe in which case you just let anybody in to use your resources and then wonder why there's nothing left for the natives)

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

It's sucks, period! With the exception of a few of my closest friends, I have never seen, a larger collection of just plain rotten people in one single place in all my life. Now if this is what CR want's to create on his PU, (I sincerly don't believe this is what he wants) more power to him, I will respect him as an awesome creative influence. I will then create my invite only server, and will commence screening and inviting.

Griefers will not be allowed on this server in any capacity!

All PVP is consensual.

Best drama nullbears drama ;)

Imagine all carebears move to star citizen, ofc this never happens but try imagine this hapens in future, result, river of crocodile tears from nullbears, just because EvE without all these pve aspect, industry, hi sec economy, hi sec activity, EvE become rip game, fact.

Hi sec and people who living here are CORE of this game, adap to this, you damn blob slaves Cool

Jim Goon was sitting in class when he suddenly realized that there was a 40-foot worm inside of him. Before Jim had time to negotiate, the worm grabbed a ventricle of Jim's heart, ripped it off, and ate it.

How else are you gonna drop SBU's and guard them till they are anchored and then onlined without being ninja'd then reinforce stations and ihubs/destroy poses, flip stations over the course of a few days reinforcement timers all the while making sure your SBU's dont get killed and the enemy doesn't rep his stuff over a multitude of timezones?

EDIT: Dont forget to guard your own TCU while it onlines for 8 hours haha!

Just for context: it takes a subcapital fleet of 255 dudes in battleships about 15-20 minutes to do one of these 'reinforcements' that need to be done through shield, armor and structure. Dreadnoughts are a lot better, supercaps/titans = best for reinforcing stuff. How will you do these things with your less than thousands of people? What if it gets contested?? Who will fight/guard you if the enemy comes to rep his stuff? Are you gonna tell him he needs to have e-honour and not bring a lot of dudes cuz you just want one system?

It's not about any of that. I thinking fighting over resources is awesome.

Just a matter of one alliance being able to hold vast areas using one fleet to defend it all. The space would actually be used by other people and not be empty, but they keep it because they can. They aren't even using the resources other people would like to use.

In terms of game design it would make sense to do something about that. You can't just tell any new player to recruit 2000 people if he ever wants his corp to make it to 0.0.

How dare the United States Navy be able to protect America and its interests, they should split the navy into like 55 sub navies and put caps on their troop and ship counts and never allow more than one subnavy to be in the same theater as another.

Maybe i'm blind, but where is "hate" in this thread? Or is that your word for "disagreement" and "discussion"?

There are hundreds of MMOs out there with the "safety" some players try to push into EVE. There are only a few with the HTFU attitude like EVE (or how should we name that?).

I like EVE the way it is and why should i not defend that? I'm also interested that SC develops into a HTFU game because otherwise it is not interesting for me and i would like to have more choice in what games i can play that actually appeal to me.

On the other hand if it develops into something that appeals to all the cearbears and you finally stop demanding complete safety because you are busy hauling stuff in SC, that would be a win too.

But.. I strongly believe that if SC goes that way, there will be so many missing parts to a working economy because in complete safety there is no destruction, no meaning, no fraking incentive to play the game for more than a few weeks. It will finally end as a second STO, where there is no economy, no market to sell ships or modules. So you end up in a ghost game that resembles a singe player game with a fancy chat room.

And after you arrived there, you will come back to EVE and start to demand safety again...
