EVE General Discussion

So what are these friends doing now ?Tell me what thrills they are experiencing in high-sec ?

"the rest"?

Sov Nullsec might be boring, but at least with Harry around, it's amusing.

nullsec is boring because of the people there, all they do is ratting and making friends, isk grinding and chatting, oh yea and one big fight a year after your leader tells you, just puppets out there

very boring, time to smash it.

Well, Mr. Malcanis, no, I did not say that . Rather I said, that sov null was the safest place in the game. I did my ratting in Deklein. Doesn't get more safe than that.

Now, to answer your question more directly, yes, I do believe high sec could live without CONCORD. And I am now a high sec/FW lowsec resident. Two things would have to happen...

1. High Seccer's would have to learn to band together, not focus on their wallet, and go in a specific direction...together. They would have to employ intel. They would have to mine, hop into a combat ship to defend, and then go right back to mining. Essentially they would need to learn pvp, and in a hurry, lol.

2. Faction Navies would have to be buffed, and standing would have to mean more than just.....7.0 = Level 5's.....8.0 = Jump Clones.....9.0 = Faction BPC's. Negative standings would need to have a true consequence other than Faction NPC's scratching your ship's buffer as you burn through their space. And consequences should range from -10.0 faction standing, all the way up to rewards as consequence for 10.0 positive.

The problem with this, is that most high sec residents cannot seem to grasp that a handful of protection from "friends", far trumps the protection of space magic NPC's...so if CONCORD was removed, so would a large portion of the player base.

On the other hand, it would create a far more dynamic world, as "high security" power blocs came to be. The 5 major hubs would burn, and later new hubs would rise, controlled by these "hs cartels." It would be anarchy, lmao. And it would be one of the funnest days EvE has ever seen. Those of us not burning, however, would be witness to the mass exodus of many, many subscribers.

But like all things in EVE, Mal, there are pros and cons. For every good or bad thing...I could find three of the opposite to retort with.

It's exactly as boring as the player is lazy.

Why do you blindly hate goons and the CFC so much? If we were to actually disappear how would "life" flow back into null? I'm sure another massive coalition would form and you would hate them too.

Back on Topic -

I think CCP will have to make some changes sooner rather than later. CCP love big fleet fights, it gives them massive exposure, not just on gaming sites but even the regular press pick it up sometimes.

I think its unlikely that Russians and CFC will fight each other so the only battles will be CFC vs little guys and Russians vs little guys and that's unlikely to generate fights at all.

Harry,

I almost responded to the forum post, but I decided to send you this evemail instead. Truth is, I am tired of Goons. They are so mean and deplorable. I have come across some valuable secrets that I believe can help you defeat them once and for all. Obviously, I took great risk to get these for you, so all I ask is that you send me 50 billion isk. I will accept half now and half later. That is enough to get me to start all over. I'll lose more than that in ships alone when they find out.

Keep up the Good work.

Your secret admirer,

-Bean
