They could just make them pink and add advertising on the sides for the gay and lesbian alliance.

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

If you read the full paragraph, he's speaking in metaphor and talking about power projection. Some areas of space have choke points where smaller alliances could more easily defend against intruders (think 300 the movie).

With capital ship power projection, they easily bypass all choke points and natural barriers and cross vast distances within a relatively short time period.

Going to war with someone on the other side of the universe should be a major logistical undertaking. Not something trivial and so easy one could be back home in time for tea.

How is that working out for Cobalt Edge? It fills everything you are talking about - a natural chokepoint between the drone regions and the north (Venal) that cannot be bridged out of existance, between them lies Jovian space, which cannot be accessed. A small alliance fills this chokepoint standing in between Razor alliance and Solar fleet. If Razor wanted to fight Solar they would have to cross through this, against elite pvpers who live in one of the poorest places in EvE. Ever since the drone alloy nerf there is no big ticket item to pay sov, these warrior-farmers, these men and women of thebes live by the spear and farm because that is what it takes, Cobalt edge is a place for good fights, it's denizens have never known peace. It would be the mother of all fights, maybe bloody Razor alliance enough to think twice!

Oh, they just did. How is that working out for the alliance that was there? Ah, that's right, it hasn't.

I feel sorry for Cobalt Edge. If anything it shows the problems with null more than anything else.

You should explain why, because a) not all of us are mind-readers, and b) not all of us play in nullsec or fly supercaps, but are still interested in the issues.

Regarding the quote about supercaps, doing as Trebor suggested and having to have an item that only drops from dead supercaps or some kind of PVE content in null would mean that the only alliances with supercap fleets would be the biggest ones, only even worse than it already is. Obviously, the bigger alliances would get more PVE drops because we have more space and more pilots to farm that space, and we've also got a lot more money than any smaller alliance does, which means that it's hard for a smaller alliance to buy a supercap core (or whatever he wants to call it) from someone who is selling one, because the big alliances with the money set the price.


I honestly can't think of a worse idea than trebors for "fixing" supercaps and force projection. wtf

Rebalance them to be a mobile battle POS with player hangers then...

Or has that horse been beaten to death as well?

Because Far-que... That's why.

There seems to be a lot of assumptions and worrying going on. I feel theres more to those quoted comments, I dont agree with them but lets be honest the 0.0 section in the CSM minutes is always "we have a problem, we know this, NEXT!". The thread you SHOULD be creating is "WHEN ARE WE GOING TO HAVE AN EXPANSION THAT FIXES 0.0?".

The sheer force of CFC / HBC / Nulli / SOlar could generate 100k posts a second, CCP will have no choice but to work on 0.0, yet this approach isnt considered and an attack on 2 pointless quotes is. You guys confuse me
