EVE General Discussion

Still waiting on some figures on how much null wants to see high sec 'balanced'. If the usual suspects are so fast to point and scream that something is not balanced, why don't you specify how it can be. Give us some figures.

NBSI is an everyone blue train
NRDS is an everyone red train

The opposite of the opposite

or like why HBC keeps FA around

At least NBSI standings lists don't get so large that the alliances have to start telling members to put people on their personal standings lists because alliance and corporation standings have ballooned to their maximum limits.

I live there for months at a time. It's empty. Yeah, that's right, I trespass until my hold is full of phatloot.

Nobody except an occasional ratter in a carrier, or some mercs on the move. Once went three weeks without seeing another ship.

NPC nullsec tends to have more traffic.

See, even Herzog here managed to eke out an existence in nullsec, as some sort of vermin feeding off the detritus and waste of nullsec civilizations. Drinking deep from the proverbial 0.0 ditchwater in silence, scurrying into a hideyhole at the slightest provocation, Herzog's life is a sad, solitary one of fear and alienation. But it proves the tenacity and adaptability of the capsuleer animal, where a creature can survive, even thrive, within the sewers of Esoteria.

Just one of many wonders... of our nullsec ecosystem.

not even a nullbear, but some sort of nullgerbil

I choked on my beer when i read this.

See NBSI as a house allarm system sign.

If you come on my turf i will shoot you in the face ( or go to my hideout bunker until you leave )

NRDS is walking around in a bad city with a pocket full of cash, and just hoping nobody notice to use you as a pinjata.

I / we worked hard for the space, kicked out the old inhabitants at sometimes great cost. We setup a infrastructure , maintain it , and pay the bills for it.
Why should we allow in scrubs/freeloaders who are only there to reap the reward or compete for resources.
While, doing nothing to suport it exept post a risk that you try to murder my shiny or not so shiny spaceboat.

CVA is also needed in this game, and also the roleplayers need a spot to do there thing.
Nothing bad with it, but that does not mean entire 0.0 should addopt the style. It would be becomming a next highsec without concord and with hictors. Very boring.

To make a NRDS area work i think would need a few changes to null

make systems taxable like 20% system wide tax on bountys
make sub sov so you first av allince sov then sov gets desagnated to a corp sov assigned by alliance holding corp to help with maintanance of systems if said corp leaves sov gos bck to defalt alliance holding corp

upgrade of stations and pos also more slots and better refine

npc toons would be nbsi

You have to make it profitable for the owning alliance otherwise they will just rent out space

so say your alliance owns two regions you make home region a no go area the second region you convert to nrds

With system wide tax the more ppl there the better for the owners
taxing ore is and allways been bit of a pain in eve
also all isk from station services should go to sov holding corp of that system and even market tax this way the corp that ownes the system can pay its members for actualy policeing that system and again the more activaty the more profits

A place like this would be prime hunting grounds but thats eve everywere is a hunting ground
