EVE General Discussion

OP is claiming that highsec is too boring, and doesn't have any dangerous NPCs when in fact
-highsec safety is its main feature, changing it would be silly
-low and null already has most of the things he's asking for
-highsec does actually have some of the stuff to, in Incursion form

Nullsec people have never complained bout null being too dangerous and wanting to make it safer like highsec. Not that I can remember, anyway.

The topic is about making things LESS boring.

Its not just your play time. Low sec is, barring the odd camped system like Egghelende and Old Man Star, quite safe to travel through in a reasonably fast ship. And bigger ships like BCs take aaaaages to target small ships like frigates, unless they're loaded with modules etc to increase locking speed. I've maxed targeting skills and would take 8.3 seconds to lock a Frigate in an unmodded Myrmidon.

You're making the odd assumption that people interested in pvp won't mine or build things.Sure right now they don't have to because highsec dwellers make everything much cheaper, but they're certainly capable as seen from nullsec and wormhole capital construction.

That's pretty much what I'd like to see, but have sec status be a modifier. A guy in an ibis isn't a rookie because he's in an ibis, and if you ignore specific ships based on who you would expect to be flying it you just create something that can be abused.

The difficulty of rats starting in .7 should be drastically beefed up. There's more then enough .8 and up systems for new players to mine in and learn the ropes.

The only thing that's "more difficult" in .7-.5 is CONCORD response time, and that's irrelevant when people fit properly.

The OP sounds like he wants to sit on his/her ass and have the action come to them. Here is an idea, get off your ass and find all the things you talk about.

Pirates do not invade Empire for the same reason they don't operate off the North American coast. The quickest way to extinction is to pick the wrong fight in the wrong place. The pirates wouldn't want the Minmatar or any empire navy actively trying to exterminate them.

Don't use flawed logic to push a flawed agenda.

I don't think a lot of people realize this, probably even a lot that are actually involved.

Untill I looked at the rules of engagement tab, out of simple boredom, I had no idea that FW extended beyond Low sec. I thought joining the militia meant that you could participate in the FW sov mechanics in low sec.

Most aren't held back by corporations like CONCORD either.. plus civilian targets are generally frowned upon, even in wars except by the cruelest and making FW apply to everyone would make multi-racial corps impossible as well as the concept of neutral parties to it. It would require a complete restructuring of the game. Even groups like Goons and TEST would have to be broken apart.

Joining a militia doesn't prevent you from joining a player run corp, sinse you can enter a militia as an individual, enter your entire corp, or enter your alliance.

The suggestion wouldn't break any of the player run corps, as they're entirely seperate from FW, if you want them to be.

Doesn't make the suggestion good though, it's still bad.

The suggestion is to be able to attack anyone of the opposing races. That's why it'd break it. Now if it was just being able to attack all the opposing NPC corps, there'd be some truth in what you said and yeah, it'd still be a bad idea, but that wasn't how he worded it really. Pretty much that'd change the system to where people are involved whether they like it or not :/
