Yeh, it seems to me if you were going to do something already 'counter' to your own interests it might be more entertaining to do something other than simply emulating your 'enemies' play style. One of the common assertions is the game would not run without 'carebears'. Test that. For instance, you could create a counter gank gate blockade around all the major trade hubs rather than going on a roam. Create a general strike and violently enforce it. Test whether your assumptions about lines of supply are correct in some counter-intuitive way. Collude to dominate the ore market. Still use the craptastic Venture, Badger, etc. fleet to do all that. Probably not the best ideas, but something along those lines.

Oh god not another thread like this. There's 3 on the first page alone.


this one is different, I'm actually a carebear who wants to fight and is searching for support, if so many talk about those things I'm sure there is a need to do it ;)

that actually was my plan B, I'm planning to kick of a hyperinflation wich will crippel the market and will have a devastating effect to all who are not prepared, but you as well have some pretty good ideas, we should talk some more soon... :D

Ahahahahahahah!

If you've never tried PvP in EvE it's quite possible you've missed out on one of the greatest rushes available in modern gaming.

if you want to actually put overwhelming force into nullsec you'll need FCs, tight fleet compositions, a logistics crew to drop POS, keep them fueled and deal with sov structures, a proper chain of command and, most importantly, pilots

it's a bit more complicated than running a mission, it seems

I bet there are players who have never left their asteroid system, often times I see carebears 100km off the gate staring at it like they have never seen one before, then after about 5 min they warp to the station.


you mean like people who never left their training corp or just post with their alts on the forum?


Yeah, what's up with the people who never leave their starting corp-- oh, that's right...

Problem is, nearly anyone who has the time or inclination to work as a team and risk getting blown apart, has already been recruited into null/low/wh space.

edit: join my channel SpaceJunkys there we talk about the details



But they have bigger ships... If I wanted to be in null, I would go there... Why don't you leave my fellow huggybears and I in peace? No real bear is interested in this... Maybe one day but not today... Your idea is very uncarebear... GTFO and stay in nullsec where you belong. Join them in their petty wars... They can say hi to Concord when they **** in my pond.

Reopen the EVE gate so we can invade Serenity. Goons can go first.

So... Basically you are a goon alt pretending to be a carebear...... in order to disguise the next market manipulation attempt in which the rich get richer while the poor get screwed. Thanks for making this clear! :P
P.S. I know he may not be a goon, just blatent stereotyping here, since it doesn't really matter if he's a Goon, PL, or anyone, Goons will still make money on the market manipulation attempt regardless.

Dang, there is a lot of venom for a guy with what sounds like might be a fun idea for content creation. Of course it could go horribly wrong and everyone dies instantly inside the first system.

With the high population in hi-sec, only a small fraction would have to participate to make things interesting. Definitely would need an experienced FC or three though.

I've only been playing 3 months and plan to migrate to lower security systems eventually but would go if I happen to be on if/when it happens.

He's talking about leading an invasion of carebears into nullsec. King Out Of His Damn Mind is more like it. Now can I have my Tuesday outfit back?

You guys should take note that not every carebear is one who solely mines and runs PVE. Plenty of antipirates like CoA who take an active PVP approach.

As a serial carebear, I can say that I trust my high-sec mates even less than the unknown threat that dwells in low-sec. If you want to see a carebear die, you'll need to come find us in our mission pockets and belts instead.

this is just a yearly event where the carebears show you guys who's the boss, after that we go back mining stuff and you can repair your ships and prepare for the next year
