EVE General Discussion

This... Especially the part about AFK cloaking


I love it when people claim that AFK cloaking is some kind of small alliance rebel or ninja activity when 90 percent of the time these days it is big alliances using it to attack smaller alliances or to have the same effect as roams.

I made a topic detailed a method to remove the Incentive to AFK cloak. You might be interested in it here https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=22840

You don't NEED an alt, just as you don't NEED one to do hisec missions faster. I play on one character at a time.

Hey, if you're too scared to lose a ship occasionally then that's fine. At least admit it. Just say, "I, Inir Ishton, don't want to play a game in which I might get blown up. The thought scares the crap out of me."

One small point - Isk -making is part of the fun / power of nullsec. It would be nice if more was made in Null (besides moon goo of course)... for incentive to go...

...just my 2 isk.

It's simply about total security.

Mankind will always stay in areas which is safer, as a general rule.

Or to put it more simply:-

"Whatsoever therefore is consequent to a time of Warre, where every man is Enemy to every man; the same is consequent to the time, wherein men live without other security, than what their own strength, and their own invention shall furnish them withall. In such condition, there is no place for Industry; because the fruit thereof is uncertain; and consequently no Culture of the Earth; no Navigation, nor use of the commodities that may be imported by Sea; no commodious Building; no Instruments of moving, and removing such things as require much force; no Knowledge of the face of the Earth; no account of Time; no Arts; no Letters; no Society; and which is worst of all, continuall feare, and danger of violent death; And the life of man, solitary, poore, nasty, brutish, and short."

…which you need for… what, exactly?
If the money is enough to keep doing what you want (which is what he said), why do you need more?

In fact, if the money is enough to keep doing what you want, then yes, it is indeed nice and reliable enough a stream.

can't believe I am posting in one of these threads again....

The problem as I see it is not that null sec is too hard or high sec too safe, because it is not as I learned recently. The problem is that nullsec requires a different kind of playstyle than high sec. They are actually 2 kind of games, and over the years a lot of people joined EVE for just one side of the game, the intense mind-boring null sec game or the relaxed casual high sec game, not both. And you can't force people to play another game (aka your kind).

I am against nerfing/buffing null and high sec for each other, it is as good as the players living in it.

BUT I would really like to see a buff to low and nerf to null AND high sec because I think low sec could be the area where these two groups of players could interact on an equal level.

EVE is the most complex game I ever played, and thats the reason why I got hooked up, over a year now and tons of guides later I still learn something new every week. But I play EVE for fun, not for big goals, and there are tons of players who don't want to get too involved in a game, they will not go through tons of guides, they will not read the forums, they will not complain.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT?

Thats fine with me, they pay for their sub, and I have not the right to tell them how to play EVE, this whole discussion about buffing/nerfing one sec for the other is completely and utterly stupid.

Null sec dwellers you want more people in null, easy make it more attractive and don't whine to CCP
High sec dwellers you want Empire more safe, easy learn at least some game mechanics and don't whine to CCP


P.s. I HATE THE EVE TUTORIALS, potential Explorers check out the shift and alt shortcuts for probes :)

Not completely, no. There are a couple of instances where there is no other way to go.

What some people fail to (and need to) realise is that their actions have game-wide consequences, and that those consequences might be out of whack. If (as is often suggested) highsec does indeed pump too much ISK into the game without generating a corresponding increase in production or activating enough ISK sinks, then there's no two ways about it: highsec needs a nerf.

If people come up with the silly argument “I play in highsec so I should be safe” then there is no other answer than “no, you shouldn't — adjust your way of playing the game” because highsec can't be adjusted that way without breaking things.

Have to work on my communication skills, because I agree with you Tippia, should have highlighted more :(

I do not want a safe high sec, but lets face it in regard of numbers I am quite sure that the majority of ISK grinding in High Sec is done by Nullbear alts, this has to be nerfed I agree, but if you nerf high sec too indifferent...you will lose the casual relaxed players who don't give a penny about null sec and just want to fly a spaceship and chat with some friends.

and before you cry* WOW ------>

CCP needs the revenue, and where do you think your plex are coming from, they don't grow on trees.

*I do not mean you Tippia, your comments are always valid, that was more addressed to the general readers

********

He can't.. the zero mechanics don't support it. Outside of his Zero Plantation, he be toast in just a matter of time.

It's been about a year since our alliance has had a CTA. Our alliance money goes to ship replacement, SBUs, capital fuel, etc.

I am not in CFC.
