You pussbags begged PL to talk us down. Pretty sure you guys have yet to stop mistaking mass disdain for mass admiration. No one fears you, they just know to be careful about attacking you because of the spies. and AWOXers you probably have in their corp.


You seam upset. Judging from the "Waaah my ratting income!" posts on your forums your alliance can't even handle a little not so friendly screwing around from people who want to shoot you.

This is what you were going to march on the warpath with:

It's one thing to beat up -A- after an entire coalition came down to help you break their backs. It's quite another to take on a monolithic entity with unified fleet doctrines with skilled FC's and a highly motivated leadership.

The converse frankly goes with your alliance, though from what I can see outside of PL your allies are a much weaker link than ours our. No matter how hard your internal propaganda machine has spun out FA to be a pack of gibbering retards (They can be sometimes) they are also scrappy as ****. Unlike say Tribe.

Shadoo didn't save us from you. He did quite the opposite.

Yay, flame wars on the forums. Back to the good old days of BoB!!! Moar, moar, moar, I say moar. ;)

In all fairness, you guys really need to start shooting each other or omgpornbbq each other in a sausage-fest deluxe.

Yes, I troll, that's how I roll. Don't take me seriously. Cool

Highsec is supposed to be safe, no pvps allowed. If only someone could grind this NPC sov then maybe pvps would be allowed.

and as i pointed out if you have more capitals than your opponent once they commit to defending against a small attack from your capitals for the duration of that time bottleneck they are free to pillage as they so choose with the rest.

this does nothing but hurt the small entity.

I'm going to chalk it up to not having my coffee yet, but I think you are saying that you would move your coalitions entire capital fleet to pillage the small space of someone. Aside from that being the case right now, it would leave the rest of your coalitions space open for anyone to attack without worrying about you defending with caps.

Your coalition would replace you as sky marshall very fast.


This is all well in good except that you forget about those pesky timers and how they make your argument fail.

This Razor spacebro said it better than I did:

Marlona Sky once again ignoring the fact that defense has nothing to do with power projection seeing as you have a space of usually about a day in which to move ships, in other words more than enough time to move any kind of ship capital or otherwise across the map with any reasonable nerf.


Nerfing power projection just means it will require more people to do something well and that means its even harder for the little guy to compete, so try again. It's painfully obvious that the only thing you are trying to do is harm these big coalitions you hate, while trying to make it look like you are white-knighting for the little guy.



You keep advocating the "little guy" and at the same time yell at those little guys for not knowing the mechanics.

Stop.

Just don't. Let people learn for themselves. Let them deal with all the problems and learning curve of sov mechanics. Enjoy your hiseccing, your homogenized nullsec is now lowsec pvp and try to enjoy your daily eve. Don't try to champion and be the white knight while yelling at others for doing the same.

Yeah as much as you pubbies want to assert that we did, we didn't code the game or design the mechanics.


I've not once advocated for the "little guy." That angry NCdotte and his echochamber of not-to-bright people are trying to force through a terrible idea because "it helps the little guy." When really it doesn't, in fact it hurts the little guy more than it hurts these big coalitions you all love to whine about. The idea is so bad it'd make nullsec worse than it already is which would only serve to depopulate nullsec more. It's eerie all of you whiners about big coalitions are the same as afk miners whining about the "New Order"/suicide ganking/pvp in highsec, you're happy to beg CCP to do something or whine on the forums but you refuse to organize and try to do something about it in-game.

You might want to read the thread too.

Funny you should say that. As I am affiliated with corps and an alliance based out in stain, and have mentioned doing exactly what is going on right now. TEST and Goons have reset. You all have spent pages and pages explaining how that wouldn't work because of sov, and now you are doing exactly that. E: small gangs of goons and test roaming around killing each other while you are reset and are not killing structures.

Weird how I have been clamoring for that and told it wouldn't work, then you guys end up doing it anyways.



Took you how many pages to finally respond to that? Fixing that post you made with the terrible formatting would have been a better idea. What you were asking for was moving moons to lowsec only which is a terrible idea, we debunked all of your arguments and you replied as was "lol no."



Multiple threads, multiple discussions met by multiple people based on ideas I put forth and argued on many fronts... resulting in being told how I'm just trying to make null more like low.

As yo how many pages it took? Took only one. I don't log in everyday I'm not at work. When I'm at home, I play. When I'm not able to play, I check the forums.

And the result still was the same. Null is now being treated like low and and you are still trolling with your nonfactors chiming in.

Which btw does not bother me, if that's the intent, since when I am here, I will still respond. And I can read and see that you respond in much to the same way anyone that puts forth an idea that you do not agree with.

I did read the thread. Many times you referenced the little guy. That's just postering on your side to find a way to justify what you want to say. You do not care if it would hurt the little guy or not. Argument's sake or otherwise. You prove that by posting here when you tear down what anyone has to say about not knowing mechanics, that would make it more boring, that would hurt you more than us, blahblblahblah.

You'd be better off just not being involved since you know that much more and let us learn the cold harsh eve for what it is, instead of having you try to exert some sort of forum dominance that obviously wouldn't pertain to us anyways, if we would listen to you in the first place. Otherwise, you wouldn't be repeating yourself or find the need to take apart discussion structure instead of joining in on finding a way to fix it beyond complaining it is in fact a problem.

Yet when the actions still reinforce what was argued on my behalf, that should be proof enough. You only have your own corpmates and blues to thank for that. Go be bitter to them.

For isntance... if it's commonly known that timers suck, and sov has too many hp to be "fun", remove one element and increase the other.

Example- Let them have a billion hp, make them NOT have timers. Forget any argument about power projection since noone wants to tackle it anyways. Make POS always live. Encourage small and large groups alike to realize the 100% realtime risk (much like benefitting from skills working while not logged in) and maintain the playerbases that would benefit from multiple timezones. Oh, you need to sleep? Tough, let someone else handle it or stay awake.

Oh, that wouldn't be fair? You don't want to have to routinely patrol your live sites? Reduce your sov space for better guarding. Let the smaller groups deal with the same problems however they want.

But it still wouldn't be fair! Well, then maybe mechanic that would keep timers, make them recycle more frequently, and reduce the hp.

Any mechanic that would help or hurt would still require interaction. A common problem each side has is the fact that people have alts in highsec (or any other sector) because of how boring null is. That being said, sounds like you guys need more interaction.

That's still going to be player driven, because obviously waiting for ccp isn't the answer.

As you guys are fond of saying... "it's been this way for years".

I'll say it again: if CCP think that players will be infinitely patient, they are incorrect. Matters are coming to a head in null and if there isn't a proper reworking of sov 0.0, it's not going to be pretty.

I fully understand that CCP wanted to work on empire for the last few years, but now the situation in null is approaching meltdown. It has been 5 years since the last work on improving sov 0.0 was done, and now that patience is wearing very thin indeed.

*Eliminate multi-million hp structures as the lynchpin of sov. Sov strength should be determined by player activity, not deployable structures.

*Undefended sov should be easy to take, no to remotely set timers.

*Make it viable for 0.0 players to actually live in 0.0 by reworking outposts so that we can upgrade them to match NPC systems

*Base alliance income on the activity of players, not the output of lifeless moons owned by an elite few.


At the moment, Sov 0.0 depends on supers, structures and moons. It should depend on players.


You do realize that it reuquires players to buy/build and then move to nullsec to deploy for structures? And that you need players to anchor a PoS then get the minerals together to build a capital? and that players are needed to manage moons? Players are still involved in all of this process although probably not as many as you would like.

I do agree it needs change though. It's pretty stagnant.

Actually, I'd rather Goons be involved with creating ideas instead of only focusing on why everything is bad. Unfortunately, you don't. Even all of your posts alone prove that.

As to trash talking, it doesn't matter one way or another, but I still will contribute to these forums regardless of how bad, good, or random my thoughts are.

Alavaria would have noticed this but for the kneejerk troll posts she makes on a minute basis. Her arguments are to leave things alone. You guys need to get on the same page.
