One very interesting fact that came out was from the question "What to null sec players actually do all day anyway?"

The answer was that they do the same things that all Eve players do. However a lot of the pilots actually play other games while waiting for combat ops to spin up. I wonder if CCP is aware of that behavior and if it matters from a games as business standpoint. Maybe that is one of reasons behind DUST. Idk, its just something that I hadn't considered before.


I would just want opinions on this! I mean, if this is the case, the game would need a serious overhaul in at least some areas...?

There isn't much built in content in nullsec, outside of ratting.

Most nullsec players come for the player made content of fleets. And it isn't all big blobs and mashing F1, no matter how much the NPC forum alts say it is.

But for many nullsec players, there isn't much reason to log in except for when a fleet is being put together. So long as they keep paying their subscription, CCP doesn't seem to mind this situation.

So that begs the question, what *do* nullsec players want to do all day?

outside of fleet stuff and living da INK experience, usually probe down mag/ladar sites (profit is usually sub-l4 but it's something to do), probe down wormholes so i can safely move pimp ships and trade stuff through without the bother of asking for a scout or escort/ sneak behind enemy lines and put up bubbles

Usually stay cloaked and AFK all day while at work. Every once in a while, the wife walks by and types something strange in local to make everyone think im stalking them. Quite humorous.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

I'll maybe clear out and salvage/loot a forsaken hub or 2, but unless there's a fleet up that I'm interested in I'm playing other games and chilling with people on Jabber. 90% of EVE for me happens outside the game itself.

Once CCP come to their senses and remove coalitions and alliances, there will be plenty to do in null again.

i dunno i can find 8-10/10 every few days which is way more then a L-IV is worth...

At the end of the game both the pawn and the Queen go in the same box.

We post on our own forums and in our jabbers. Some people rat. Some salvage. Hardly any mine. There's generally ops up somewhere in the galaxy for TEST members.

Lots of people just do the first two and don't even bother logging in except to change skills. Sometimes not even for that.

Some forums have silly little flash games to play while you wait for the responses, CCP has EVE Online.

I'd say definitely worth the 15 bucks.
