EVE General Discussion

A little while. Bring a half dozen and make a garden party out of it.

my alt does Pi in low sec with a mammoth. i should really buy her some more SP for the PI industrial ship but really i can't be bothered. the taxes are way lower than high sec and the planets give more stuff. the mwd/cloak trick works fine at gates and the multiple wcs have allowed me to warp out of every tackle so far. I don't see how it takes more time than high sec PI or how it is harder. The same alt did PI in null and when we redeploy back to null will do it again in null most likely in the same stupid mammoth. the industrial would have to be blown up many many times for it to make less sense than high sec.
If you can't handle the minor increase in risk then basically you are complaining that either the taxes on your planet will stay the same as no one will bother replacing the CO or that they are about to get lower as competition for taxes and low desire to attend an attacked structure drive taxes down as they did in low sec.
Stop crying about stuff that will make things better for you even though you are clearly unwilling to do anything for yourself.

CO make such tiny isk that no one wants to have to defend these often. The only reason to shoot them is stupid high tax or dislike of owners. The owners will try to not fall into either camp as repping structures is not a way to boost corp morale.

10 million HP.
10 Oracles take one down in 1000 seconds, or 18 minutes.

And when the null sec cartel fleets arrive, they will be a whole lot bigger than 10 Oracles.
Try seeing POCO's pop in 2 minutes.

In a big system, you might not even be able to undock and warp to the POCO before it will be gone.

Organize, bring more than they do. Take the oppurtuntity to strike at their null possessions while they are screwing with your possesions.

THINK. FIGHT BACK.



I swear, I will never understand the feeble minded, Until lately, i've been fighting goons non-stop since about 2008, I've been evicted from good ratting space mre times than I care to count, i've fought in anti-goon fleets that we KNEW would fail. Who knows, with EVe politics being so fractious , I may fid myself in posistion to fight them again.

But you Dinsdale types won't even try, in a video game where you can't lose anything but time? That's almost disgustingly sad.

It's amazing what you can accomplish in this game when you make enough friends.

I see a lot of your posts. They pretty much are all complaining. Why do you still play the game if you dislike it so much? Seriously. Are you bed ridden or some such?

I hang around empire a lot and i have to say, i can't thank gankers/griefers more. If it weren't for barges being blown up left and right there would be too many minerals on the market, thus bringing the prices down, which would actually make mining worse isk/hr than it already is. In addition, any noob can wait till rubicon release and claim his own POCO, theyre not that expensive. Besides, 15% tax is awful and hi-sec PI is useless as it is already.

Heh, you actually make the mistake of not understanding what sandbox means.

It doesn't mean that being a moron and playing the game wrong (like a lot of highsec players) guarantees you as much success as the people who actually earned it.

Sandbox means that you can try whatever you want to do, not succeed at whatever you try.

I might try the High-sec POCO takeover thing, to get a feel for how structure shooting and takeover is done before attempting it in Low/Null/J-space. If it works, I'd throw the tax at something lower than what Concord's got it right now. Actually, I never bothered to look at what Concord COs are set at, as I rocketed my P0 planet loot into space and just scooped up the can.

The siphon thing sounds like it might be an interesting way to ninja mine moons indirectly, though I imagine that it'd anger whomever you're using it on so you'll need to consider carefully your political alignment before even attempting to get one out there. Depending on how well it works, it might be worth risking consequence for moon goodies. This seems to be the counterbuff to High in exchange for the potential of Low/Null guys taking and taxing our PI: While they're reducing/taking our money, we go and reduce/take theirs.

Depot looks interesting for those who lack Orca/Carrier alts, POS, or Station access. I can see it also being good as an off-grid field base to reload ammo at if you run out in the middle of a fleet engagement, or refit there if the battle situation changed from what the plan or intel suggested. For High-sec... uh... Ok, I got nothing. Any use I can think of there is redundant with either the NPC stations or the myriad of space cans we can build and anchor.
