Eve doesn't have big fleet fights on a daily basis, but 2000 people in Jita - yep, every day; and I've never seen a server admin determine resource needs on the basis of getting press attention.

The workload occurs continuously in Jita, which really is off topic for this thread.

In any case, on a daily basis highsec has more activity than lowsec and nullsec. That's just an unfortunate reality.

Ok, so what?

The guy I quoted was talking about the emergency supernodes. Of which, 2 are currently permanently tasked towards highsec.

This means that, at any given time, only 2 big superfleet battles can occur, anywhere, ever.

Those are for emergencies. Not daily use. The upper bounds of nullsec are higher, especially on a single grid.

This implies that an urgent upgrade of capacity is well in order. No part of eve online should suffer as a result of emergency assets being deployed elsewhere. We need more capacity so that everyone gets the game they want.

Dumbing down of Eve Online will result in it's destruction...

Ladies and gentlemen! There is a lovely little place in Sinq Laison that many like to refer to as "Dixie". To many, Dodixie is home and livelihood. Be they scammer, undock warrior, trader, missioner or someone who gets their kicks out of arguing with every soul in local, everyone has a little spot in their heart reserved for the warm welcome of the Federation Navy Assembly Plant at moon 20 of planet IX.

It's often graced with the presence of hundreds of capsuleers, and is referred to as one of the five major trade hubs. Why, then, is it constantly afflicted with such heavy Time Dilation? Is Dodixie not worthy of a stronger node?

"But 0.0 fleet fights deserve priority over a carebear haven!"

Fleet fights almost certainly bring more immediate examples of divergent gameplay to the fore. But, as mentioned, there are only five major trade hubs, so what's five stronger nodes in a gameworld of hundreds of systems? Furthermore, 0.0 fights are in many cases unpredictable. Their existence in such a manner means that they cannot have a node dedicated to them; thus, the resources can only really be directed to areas that suffer such consistent heavy traffic.

Dodixie is a utopia for citizens of New Eden. Let's take a look at some local traffic:

Upstanding Citizen #1> inb4 matthew decs the scythe fleet issue and then just sits there, tanking it for 24 hours.
Upstanding Citizen #2 > Any large mining corps have room for a noob like me?
Upstanding Citizen #3 > Serves him right for smacking dixie PVP.
Upstanding Citizen #4 > I lost because of people getting involved
Upstanding Citizen #5 > you let the pod get away?
Upstanding Citizen #4 > I dont take it seriously like you [gentlemen of a homosexual persuasion] who touch [genitalia] together

As we can quite rightly see, Dodixie is a microcosm of all that is good in EVE. The pioneering New Eden spirit is alive and well; please, don't let it be snuffed out by its residents having to shuffle around at sub-zimmer-frame speeds.



Dude, get your systems straight. Dixie and Dodixie are two COMPLETELY separate systems.

Sheesh.

That said, nice to see the Ninja Salvage capital in the news again.

They could always go with a middle fo th road strategy and loading less system on the nodes where trade hubs are while leaving the 3 super node not currently locked.

The problem with what you bring on the other hand is that if a fight happen in 0.0, there is not many way to amke sure it will be on a super node either and we all know what happen to the fight if the system gets remapped if they tried to put it on the fly on one. The real usage of the super nodes has to be planned in advance.

At the end of the day, those super nodes can`t be used for emergencies anyway. Either stuff was planned all along to happen on those nodes or the battle will ahve to do with a regular nodes with other system re-mapped off of it.

Yeah, and the guy you quoted was responding to a guy who was off-topic completely. Nobody except you two nullsec zealots brought supernodes into this discussion Lol

Dixie actually used to be called "S*** Creek", hence the term "Up S*** Creek without a paddle". The mayor saw the popularity of Dodixie in comparison to their system and, one day, realised that he could steal the nickname "Dixie" and apply it to his own system to steal their traffic of confused newbies. Many residents of S*** Creek left the system and, in protest, named the new region they had colonised "Wicked Creek". So really my systems are straight. Blink
