EVE General Discussion

FD, so far you've called me risk averse in this topic and lazy in another for expressing my opinions. Neither is accurate. And I own a POS. I don't own a dozen of them and do not have POS's stationed across known space. Which is never going to happen.

You again write that boosting manufacturing returns at a high sec POS is some kind of reward for owning one despite countless examples of why tethering a dynamic industry to a stationary object is not beneficial. (Stop doing me favors!) It would be a logistical nightmare for the same exact reasons cited in this topic explaining why it's a nightmare for null players.

Debating whether everything I've invested into my gameplay for the past 14 months is going to be made pointless does frustrate me as the consequences are potentially game-changing to an unacceptable degree. But I play this game because its fun. Piloting a freighter isn't. In fact, it's my least-favorite activity in the game. So tieing my least-favorite activity in the game to my primary source of income isn't something I'm ever going to be a vocal supporter of. How dumb would that be? This change would at best, make my game vastly less enjoyable and at worst end it entirely.

So until the black day comes to pass ushering in changes which ruin my game, I'm going to be a vocal opponent.

For me, there is no other option.

It's not personal. So if my opposition offends anyone, I apologize in advance.

Given the risk vs reward relationship the order should be WH industry > Low Industry > Null=Hi industry.

But my guess is CCP will keep things the way they are. Why not? It seems the formula is working.

It's basically what happens when you put down an outpost. You can't get rid of it, the big thing is only you can spend a TON to upgrade it to be not-as-good-as-highsec. And your enemy can take it and lock you out, I think they can shoot the services stuff as well if the station is vulnerable.

It also means two timers to consider when trying to grind sov.


EDIT: There were already "seeded" stations, by the way. They tend to be better than player-dropped ones (bigger docking radius). Take a look at Mittanigrad (VFK-IV) for an example.

No, it isn't.

However bridging off your idea, I like the idea of making WH space the most optimal place for T3 production. A lot of POS changes would have to happen to make that possible, though.

Wormholes weren't intended to be occupied long term (CCP actually said this). Lowsec industry is fairly on par with highsec, but people pretty much only build carriers, dreads & rorquals out there. Null is only as safe as it's residents make it through effort expended & was intended to be occupied long term. Saying that null industry shouldn't be a priority because it can be as safe as highsec is silly.

However, a POS revamp (particularly the awesome modular POS ideas) would benefit WH residents a lot aswell & this is what nullsec residents have been asking for.

MY POSTS FOR NULLSEC!

No, it looks even worse when you're here and there's bitches trying to catch your jump freighter (a good JF pilot is of course "riskless" rite~) and you have to freighter stuff around in nullsec (minerals, parts, ships) again, with people camping your gates or JBs.

So yes, Jita it is. Buy, then just one run of JF, done. Drop in VFK where people will get caught in a bubble warping to the station and killed by Black Legion/NC./TerriblePubbies. while trying to buy it.

I wonder how much items are destroyed by people losing whatever they just bought the very second they undock after buying it in null...

Like I said you are arguing that the yield on a procurer should be the same as on a hulk or it is not fair for the procurer pilot.

And how only being slightly less profitable makes it your training pointless? it would just mean you like every other profession in this game would have to max some skills and no matter how much you use sensationalist comments like that it will never make them true.
